Class technique determination and concentration..his hunger to stay at the crease made Gavaskar a complete cricketer...

Sunil  Gavaskar was selected to open  in the Bombay Ranji team during the 1969..70 season based on pure performance and runs scored.

However, his very first match was against Mysore ( present day Karnataka)..

A fast bowler named Rajappa was quite popular for his inswingers..

He brought the first 3 balls into the young Gavaskar..the next ball he straightened one and Gavaskar anticipating another inswinger was caught up in front of the stumps plumb in front...

GAVASKAR OUT FOR A DUCK!! In his ranji trophy debut!!!!

Many many comments that he was too young he was this he was not ready yet. And what not?

The young Gavaskar a fighter he was showed it up with three consecutive 100s in his next 3 ranji trophy matches!!!!!and silenced his critics

1971 he was in the Indian cricket team for West Indies...rest is history

That's sunil Gavaskar...built for the big stage in cricket.
