Sunil Gavaskar Turns 74: A Look At Accomplishments, Memorable Moments Of Legendary Indian Batter

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar, also known by the nicknames 'Sunny' and 'Little Master', is doubtlessly among the greatest Indian cricketers to have graced the gentleman's game. The diminutive opener, who burst into the cricketing spotlight in his debut Test series overseas against the mighty West Indies, fronting up to the fiery Caribbean quicks, broke numerous batting records while setting new ones over the course of a spectacular career, turned 74 on Monday. Several of his historic and heroic innings in cricket's longest and, arguably, the toughest format, came between 1971 and 1987.

"Expected More From Him...": Sunil Gavaskar's Scathing Take On Rohit Sharma's Captaincy

Legendary Indian cricket team batter Sunil Gavaskar was not pleased with Rohit Sharma's captaincy and said that he expected more from him. Since Rohit replaced Kohli as the India skipper, the national team has failed to qualify for the T20 World Cup final and has also lost to Australia in the World Test Championship (WTC) final. In a recent interaction, Gavaskar raised questions over Rohit's captaincy and said that he has not done justice to his reputation as the joint-most successful captain in the Indian Premier League (IPL) where he has won five titles with Mumbai Indians.

Ignored For West Indies Tour, Cheteshwar Pujara Hits Ton, Joins Sachin Tendulkar, Sunil Gavaskar In Elite List

Cheteshwar Pujara has been dominating headlines after the veteran batter was dropped from the Indian cricket team squad for the upcoming Test series against West Indies. Following a disappointing show at the World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia, he lost his spot in the team with youngsters Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad receiving maiden call-ups. However, it looks like Pujara have come with a perfect response to the snub as he slammed a century for West Zone in the ongoing Duleep Trophy match against Central Zone. The innings had 13 boundaries.

"Realised We Could Go Far...": BCCI President Roger Binny On How India Won 1983 World Cup

On Sunday, June 25, India celebrated the 40th anniversary of its maiden ICC Cricket World Cup triumph. On the same day in 1983, India defeated two-time defending champions West Indies to win the third edition of the World Cup, known as the Prudential Cup back then. In the final, India managed to defend a low total of 183 against a star-studded West Indian side, featuring the likes of Sir Clive Lloyd, Vivian Richards and others. However, the most important factor behind India's triumph was the fact that they beat West Indies not once, but twice during the tournament.

MS Dhoni is widely regarded as ‘Captain Cool' for his calm and composed demeanour on the field even in the toughest of conditions. Over the years, his captaincy style has been praised by experts and fans alike with the nickname becoming almost synonymous with the former Indian cricket team skipper. However, legendary India opener Sunil Gavaskar believes that there is another contender for that nickname. In a recent interaction with Times of India, Gavaskar said that Kapil Dev is the original ‘Captain Cool' and reminisced about his all-round performance in the 1983 World Cup.
