Whenever there will a discussion involving the greats of the game with people selecting their all-time XI's, it will be very hard to brush aside the statistics of gutsy cricketer who at the time of retirement was the leading run scorer in tests and also in the number of centuries.

His audacity of not wearing a helmet even when arguably the fastest bowling generation of bowlers thriving and ready to draw first blood. He was none other than Sunil Gavaskar. This was probably the only thing matched by another batting legend of the time Sir IVA Richards.

Their Batting styles completely contrasting but had a prevalent sense of control in the way they batted. While Gavaskar believed in blunting out the opposition bowlers, while Richards believed in thrashing them. This all also coincides with their respective record in England which were tremendous, to say the least.

RECORD:

16 TESTS/ 28 INNINGS /1152 RUNS/ AVG:41.81/ 2 100's
