About the Author

Sunil Gavaskar is a former Indian cricketer widely regarded as one of the greatest opening batsmen in the history of Test cricket. Known for his compact technique and resilience, he was the first player to score over 10,000 runs in Test matches and held the record for the most Test centuries (34) until surpassed by Sachin Tendulkar in 2005. Gavaskar's remarkable debut series against the West Indies in 1971, where he amassed 774 runs at an average of 154.80, remains a record for the most runs in a debut Test series.
