dbpprop:abstract
  • Sunil Manohar "Sunny" Gavaskar pronunciation, is a former cricketer who played 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 Tendulkar in December 2005. Gavaskar was widely admired for his technique against fast bowling, with a particularly high average of 65.45 against the West Indies, who possessed a four-pronged fast bowling attack regarded as the most vicious in Test history. His captaincy of the Indian team, however, was less successful. The team at one stage went 31 Test matches without a victory. There were incidents like crowd displeasure at Eden Gardens in Calcutta leading to multiple matches being disrupted, in response to the poor performance of the Indian team. Turbulent performances of the team lead to multiple exchanges of captaincy between Gavaskar and Kapil Dev, with one of Gavaskar's sackings coming just six months before Kapil led India to victory at the 1983 Cricket World Cup.
  • Sunil Gavaskar, et parfois surnommé Sunny, est un joueur de cricket indien. Considéré comme l'un des meilleurs batteurs indien de tous les temps, Gavaskar établit durant sa carrière les records du plus grand nombre de runs et de century en test match (les deux records ont été battus depuis). Il était particulièrement efficace contre les fast bowlers, ayant eu une moyenne de runs particulièrement élevée (65.45) contre les Indes occidentales à une époque où celles-ci dominaient le cricket mondial grâce à ses lanceurs. Il fut moins en réussite lorsqu'il fut le capitaine de l'Inde, l'équipe enchaînant sous son capitanat une série de 31 tests sans victoire.
