Sunil Gavaskar

Sunil Gavaskar spearheaded India’s batting efforts in the 1975 and 1979 World Cups. Gavaskar held the fort at the top with his stoic defence and sound technique. After a disastrous campaign with the bat in the 1983 World Cup, Gavaskar made a resounding comeback in the 1987 World Cup leading the run-scoring charts for India. The 'Little Master' scored breezy half-centuries against Australia and Zimbabwe before scoring a quick-fire ton against New Zealand at Nagpur.
