5 greatest players from Karnataka

#3. Gundappa Viswanath

Gundappa Viswanath of India
Viswanath: A master at work

Viswanath was a champion batsman who was capable of standing tall amidst all despair and more importantly was a keen follower of the 'sportsmen spirit'.

His career collided with that of Sunil Gavaskar's who was India's greatest batsmen of that era and hence Viswanath's heroics were often overshadowed by Gavaskar's achievements.

The Karnataka batsman represented India in 91 Tests and amassed more than six thousand runs but he is famously remembered for his match-winning hundred against West Indies in 1979, where he scored 124 runs while India's total was 255 runs.
