#4 Sunil Gavaskar

The original ‘Little Master’ from India as he often to referred to as was renowned for his courage as he opened the innings against the mightiest of fast bowlers in his era. Not to forget that there were no helmets at that time and had to endure their wrath.
Despite that, he stood up every time and with the help of just his sheer determination he conquered every bowler. He had a great attitude towards the game he loved.
Gavaskar was a fantastic cricketer who was instrumental in influencing careers of many cricketers from India including Sachin Tendulkar
The fact that he reached the milestone of 25 Test hundreds in just 138 innings goes on to show just how consistent he was as a batsman during the testing times of Test cricket. He is one of the reasons in India's resurgence in Tests. This legendary figure eventually got 34 Test hundreds and 10,122 runs at an average of over 51 in 125 Test matches for India.
