Birthday of Sunil Gavaskar: Today marks Sunil Gavaskar's 74th birthday. In his cricket career, Gavaskar set several records. He is the first batter in Test cricket to reach 10,000 runs. Gavaskar is still working as a pundit right now.

In Delhi. Today, July 10, is the 74th birthday of Sunil Gavaskar, the former captain of the Indian cricket team. Throughout his cricket career, this seasoned player set several records. The first batter to reach 10,000 runs in Test cricket is Sunil Gavaskar, often known as "Little Master." Mumbai is where Gavaskar was born in 1949. Gavaskar, who recorded centuries in both of the first test's two innings, used to bat without a helmet. Tales about the birth of former right-handed batsman Gavaskar are quite uncommon. Tell us about his unique relationship with the family of the fisherman.

A story was told by Sunil Gavaskar in his book, "Sunny Days." Typically, when a child is born in a family, the kid's relatives visit. Gavaskar experienced the same thing. His uncle Narayan Masurkar and other close family members visited him when he was raised at Mumbai's Purandaria Hospital. He saw Gavaskar had a "birthmark" next to his ear as he raised him.

Gavaskar approached the family of the fisherman in this manner

The next day, Little Master's uncle was shocked to see the youngster when he visited the hospital. The "birthmark" that he had noticed yesterday next to Gavaskar's ear was absent as he pulled the infant into his lap. He then informed the hospital management of this right away. The hospital looked for the infant with the birthmark for a very long period. Later, Gavaskar was observed cuddling up to a woman who belonged to a family of fishermen. Perhaps it was the nurse's fault that the kids had altered. Gavaskar was later given to his family by the hospital management.

became the first player to play 100 straight Tests in the history of the sport

Gavaskar is the only player in history to appear in 100 straight Test matches. In his first Test series against the West Indies, he amassed 774 runs. The record for most Test runs against the Windies is 2749, and it belongs to the legendary batsman Gavaskar. He has surpassed the Windies' 13-century mark 13 times. He is the first cricketer to have partnered for a century in a Test match with 18 different players. In 125 Tests, Gavaskar has scored 10122 runs. 34 centuries and 45 half-centuries have been produced over this time by his bat. He has scored 3092 runs in 108 ODIs, with one century and 27 half-centuries.
