hi cricket CEans!!!!
Sunil Gavaskar was a cricketer during the 1970s and 1980s for Bombay and India. Widely regarded as one of the greatest opening batsmen in test match history, Gavaskar set world records during his career for the most runs and most centuries scored by any batsman. He held the record of 34 Test centuries for almost two decades before it was broken by Sachin TendulkarGavaskar was captain of the Indian team on several occasions in the late 1970s and early 1980s, although his record is less impressive. Gavaskar was also a fine slip fielder and his safe catching in the slips helped him become the first Indian (excluding wicket-keepers) to take over a hundred catches in Test matches. Gavaskar has also been awarded the Padma Bhushan. After retirement, he has been a popular, sometimes controversial commentator, both on TV and in print.
He has written four books on cricket – Sunny Days (autobiography), Idols, Runs n' Ruins and One Day Wonders. He also served as an advisor to the Indian cricket team during the home series against Australia in 2004. He was the Chairman of the ICC cricket committee till the time he was forced to choose between commenting and being on the committee. He left the committee to continue his career as a broadcaster.
Come on cricketers in CE lets wish him a very happy birthday
