The great Sunil Gavaskar was involved with many partners at the top since his Test debut in 1971, one of whom was Chetan Chauhan. The pair began opening in 1973, with their last association at the top coming eight years later in 1981. A fantastic average of 53.75 showed the understanding between the pair which put on 10 half-centuries and century stands each.

More than 3,000 runs together speak volumes by itself, and their highest remained 213 in 59 innings.
