Top 5 Indian batsmen with highest averages in overseas conditions

3. Sunil Gavaskar

Sunil Gavaskar

Sunil Gavaskar is hailed as arguably the most technically sound opening batsman in Test cricket of all times. Gavaskar rightfully labelled as the 'Little Master' was short in stature but stood tall among all his contemporaries as a great player of fast bowling.

Blessed with a rock solid defence and flawless technique, Gavaskar could grind the best of fast bowlers with relative ease. Gavaskar was perhaps one of the select few batsmen who could wear down the might of the fearsome Windies bowlers at the peaks of their prowess.

All through the late 70s and 80s, 'Sunny' became India's batting mainstay standing like an unshakable pillar. Gavaskar’s run-scoring exploits against the mighty Windies pace battery are well known and serve as an inspiration for other greats to emulate and imbibe in their careers.
