One of India's greatest ever Test players, Sunil Gavaskar is fourth in the all-time list for most consecutive Tests played with 106 matches during the period between January 1975 and February 1987.

Gavaskar made an immediate impact, scoring 774 runs in his debut series against the West Indies in 1971 - a world record for the most runs scored a player in their debut Test series.

Only when he got injured during a Ranji Trophy match in November 1974 did Gavaskar find himself out of the Test side but he made a rocking return against his most favourite opposition scoring 86 in the fifth and final match of the thrilling Test series between India and West Indies which finished 3-2 in favour of the visitors.

Gavaskar enjoyed an uninterrupted run of 106 Tests including the above-mentioned match at Mumbai amassing records as he became the first player to score more than 10000 Test runs and finished his career with the most number of Test centuries - 34.
