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.
