[@mohamedrahaman9238]

Most West Indians revere Sunil Gavaskar, especially those of us who are of Indian origin. Calypsos were made of his exploits. "Gavaskar was a wall, the West Indies couldn't out him at all." SG is a living legend. For me he is the greatest Indian batsman (with all due respect to Sachin T and Virat K) and he is my number one opener in any all time world Xi.

[@Superman_Kryptonite]

mine too

[@roh2015]

Totally agree with you, he I our best batsman ever

[@stockmarketmindset]

he opens with vic trumper and. Don Bradman padded up also SRT as 3 and 4 may be Garry at 5

I had to say that line in Jamaican accent in my mind. Superb saying!

[@syedjafferimam5789]

GK is one of fewest Indian Media personalities who is equally relevant talking to A Legendary Sunil Gavaskar or a young Rishabh Pant. He just knows how to sound so well.

[@oaktreesports]

Such a lovely comment thanks :)

[@PrathameshOjha]

The biggest legend in the game !! Truly if Indian cricket is shining today then this man has to be given the most credit !! Man! No helmet and 10,000 runs while facing bowlers like mallcum , man he's the game himself!!

[@oaktreesports]

yess

[@DennyEapen]

Absolutely

When I was 15, Sunil Gavaskar replied to my letter to him. I was ecstatic as a young boy. I hold that letter dear to my heart even today. My only wish is to meet him once more and get another autograph on the same letter 😊

[@murtazaali5387]

Imran Khan always said Gavaskar was the finest he witnessed. To counter Pakistani side that had ferocious bowling line-up and dominant agression in DNA, with more than 2,000 runs in 24 test-matches was a mighty record. Pakistan, as Richards said, was the only competitive side that gave hard times to the flawless West Indians, and Gavaskar played both sides smoothly.

What a brilliant show, Gaurav is a gem of an anchor, loved BWC and now this. Love from Pakistan

[@oaktreesports]

Thank youu!!

[@Mustaphaiqbal]

Well Gavaskar Sir I feel bad that a gentleman like you was verbally abused but I believe this was your fear. If you stayed long on the pitch(scoring 150+) the other team wasnt winning. You were masterclass.

[@Nomadic_1059]

Always gotta respect the WI side. No sledging and No abuse. The way Ian Bishop reacted is applaudable. The word "REPREHENSIBLE" depicts the morale of that great side.

[@70rks]

Even top comedians would envy Sunil Gavaskar's sense of humour...

[@Drpunga]

Love and respect for this great batsman from Pakistan...

[@cooldoc69]

Thanks for bringing the TRUE legend of Indian cricket to the mic. He is as casual as his walk to the crease . No helmets, no shin pads, and no elbow coers in those days. Still went on to score those amazing runs in WI against the best ever pace attack. If sachin got Bharat Ratna, what about SG? Then again what about PVN?

[@yasirahsan8893]

One of the batting greats of all time. Flawless technique

[@atulya7845]

Started enjoying listening to him since 1992 World Cup as apparently he was the only one in commentary section who started believing that Pakistan will win the World Cup after quarter finals..

[@archie_verma]

The evergreen Sunny Gavaskar, can listen to him all day long!

[@Enemji]

Sunil Gavaskar & Vivian Richards- The two most flamboyant players of the game. Never fearful of any delivery. I have never seen the two of them ever duck at a bouncer. They have always stepped sideways and kept the eyes ON the ball watching the bouncer go by them. Nobody after these two have that skill, that inherent talent - be it Sachin, Lara, Virat .... Nobody.

[@shujahmohammed9173]

True . Sachin, lara and virat are not as brave as Viv and Gavaskar.

[@sidsid9808]

Great cricketer. I rate him better than any other Indian batsman. His 200+ in that match against Windies would be equal to 500 runs in today's cricket. I had the honor of watching him play in Faisalabad (my hometown) in 1978.

[@ibafaisalmehdi]

Sunny is so eloquent. Arguably the best batter produced by India. 90’s generation will put up Tendulkar and the current lot will vouch for Kohli. But, this guy was a pure genius - tactician, ahead of the other two.

Saying this as a 90s kid who watched,played and breatged cricket : Sunil Gavaskar is the best Batsman of all time. He is a contemporary of Viv ,Hadlee,Botham , Border ,Imran khan s of the world Yet the Finest Among them. What Sachin ,Dravid ,ponting ,Lara did around the world He DID it all but Without Safety Guards and HELMET.

Great interview, a tête-à-tête, to be precise. GK, could you bring Azharuddin sir and Srinath sir to your show? Perhaps, later, Vinod kambli, venkatesh prasad and Robin Singh, Nayan mongia too. They were the spine of nineties' cricket, along with sachin Tendulkar, the latter, took this forward upto the 2011 world cup and a bit later, too. Without ruling out somebody like Anil kumble with mammoth records!

[@guhadebojyoti]

India's greatest batsman, keeping in mind the standard of bowlers he faced. Sorry Sachin and Sachin fans, no disrespect intended. But this is the truth.

[@nikunjdixit1175]

With all due respect, Sachin also played some of the greatest bowlers of all time as Sunil did.

There are lot of great cricket players but VERY FEW who has a character that matches. He didn't use the swear word, he didn't mention the name of the person who was sledging/swearing.
