Who in known as ‘Sunny’ and ‘The Little Master’?


Who in known as ‘Sunny’ and ‘The Little Master’?

Sunil Gavaskar is known as ‘Sunny’ and ‘the Little Master’. He is regarded as one of the best batsmen in World Cricket, and is, arguably the best opening batsman in Test Cricket. Gavaskar was the first player to score 10, 000 runs in Test cricket. He broke several batting records, and was once the game’s leading fun getter and century maker. Gavaskar made a spectacular Test debut in 1971, scoring 774 runs in his first Test series against the West Indies, helping India to become one of the few teams to defeat the West Indies at home in the Caribbean. From then, until his retirement in 1987, he was the anchor and mainstay of the Indian batting line-up. Gavaskar was the holder of the record for the most number of Test centuries (34) until 2005, Sachin Tendulkar broke that record. Gavaskar scored an aggregate of 10, 122 runs in Tests. Gavaskar scored only one One-day century
