- Starting his club cricket at Rajasthan Sports Club, for whom he got a hundred in the Kanga League, and graduating to Dadar Union Sporting Club, Sunil Gavaskar’s local cricket journey was nothing short of memorable. Throw in his school and college cricket at the St Xavier’s institutions and you’ll get a feel of Mumbai cricket’s tapestry. The tough, ruthless and at times, not-so-fair world of city cricket is displayed in the form of a two-year gap between his two first-class games for Mumbai (1967-68 to 1969-70).
But runs mattered finally, runs which became the main act in the Sunil Gavaskar story.
This special episode of the Mumbai Cricket Podcast with Clayton Murzello, to coincide with Sunil Gavaskar turning 75 on July 10, is not to be missed. #sunilgavaskar #cricketpodcast #mumbaicricket #bombaycricket #cricketnews #cricket #sports

Appreciate the way the interview was conducted. Lot of homework done. No frills. No butting in. Many positive takeaways for ..... 😊
No interference or inconvenience Mr Gavaskar You will always be welcome at the place of your birth Do drop in sometime!
Great to hear Mr Gavaskar!! True champion. He has said that Dravid should be honoured with a Bharat Ratna but I say he is ahead of Dravid and Kapil Dev in the queue. No one is more deserving than Mr Gavaskar. Dravid’s idol was Mr Gavaskar and he would more than agree with that. God bless you sir.
Well said!! He is the first Bharat Ratna in value in cricket for India.
I think Dhoni should get first followed by Dada and then Azharuddin.
Then,give bharat Ratna to evey cricketer, cricket is just a game waht people always obsessed about cricketers,in our countries there are msny sports where many legends are present.so,stop this type of illogical things@@raashidkhan8471
little master...god bless
Very much lively and conducive days of cricket in the first half of 70 decade. I very much vividly remember that on my way return to home after attending college at B road Churchgate, I engrossed my remained time in watching these times shield matches from the Marine lines rly station bridge , having a close view of the two matches played on the Hindu and Islam gymkhanas at a same time.
Sir Gavaskar still looks as young as he is and a 40 year old man hatts off to you The Legend Gavaskar 🎉🎉
I am a very big fan of Gavaskar sir. Watched his cricket since childhood. A coincidence with me is I got married on 10th July and sharing a event with my hero. Sir wishing you a wonderful happy. birthday ❤❤
Greatest Indian batsman, greatest captain, greatest commentator. His mental abilities really were top class!!! Cannot forget how he won the Benson nd Hedges world championship, by getting Shastri to open, he coming 2 down, banking on Siva for wickets. Blessed to hv him!!!
Many happy returns of the day Sunil Gavaskar the great Indian opening batsman. In our time one memory which I always had is My grandfather used to ask always गावस्कर खेळतो आहे ना. When we used to be tuned to the radio commentary.
One of the greatest cricketer India to have ..the backbone of cricket India till today and onwards no comparison in the world of cricket with S.M Gavaskar .the crown on India and pride of BOMBAY
Our college days were brightened with Sunny and his cricket,
that Benson& Hedges World Series Cup he lifted as a captain,
breaking Bradman's record,
that Nagpur Century in 87 world cup,
the way he faced Marshals, Bothams, Hadlees, Imrans,
Later his excellent commentary in the box...
till now our generation enjoying his quality talks on current matches,.....
I remember Sunny wrote an article or a letter to School cricketer Sachin on his prodigal talents, published in Sports star ( well before Sachin's entry into 1st class cricket )...
Thank you Sunny... You go on and on like this... Stay blessed👍
Many happy returns of the day to Sunny and many more to come.
Super interview. Happy birthday my favourite batsman of anytime.
Many many happy returns to one and only Sunil Manohar Gavaskar, the greatest Opening Batsman ever to be born. The stylish Batsman, The stylish Commentator. There is no other batsman born in India or in the world like Gavaskar sir. Happy Birthday to you Sir. Wish to see you score a century in age as well. God bless
Great, especially given that I was born the day he turned 18 :)
Happy Birthday sir
I was lucky to play against sir
Happy Birthday Sunny G, the finest Indian test batsman ever🎉
Long live Sir sunil gavaskar,God bless you always 😊 The Spine behind the rise of Indian cricket ,
Even if the politician don't give him bharat ratna,But he is the Jewel in the heart of everyone ♥️ when I was kid I use to hear sound gavaskar khedet ahe naaa so much belief people have on him,
Happy birthday Mr Gavaskar 🎉
I have followed Gavaskar’s career from his school days. He was a prolific scorer and was doing well at University level. Mr Vijay Merchant gave him a break and picked him for West Indies tour. He is an exception that by then he had not played for Mumbai Ranji team
Is that so ,then how he selected
I absolutely loved the podcast especially because it focuses entirely on Bombay local cricket. Would have been even better if Sunny's brain had been picked on famous Ranji matches and playing against some unsung bowlers and batsmen, players who didn't really make it to the top... That would have been great.
The greatest batsman ever❤
My childhood hero later on during my school days I used to switch off running commentary on radio whenever he used to be in nineties. This used to test my patience as he took his own time to reach 100 ___ 25 mins 45 mins or even an hour
Happy Birthday dear sir
So many memories of this man. So many anecdotes shared by him. The third ball he faced of Marshall during the Nagpur odi century he knocked it over the slips for a boundary and Fredun de vitre the commentator went "woah! That is unlike the Gavaskar we know".
Many many happy returns of the day.
sunny twenty five just twenty five to complete yet another hundred have a great run and thanks for giving us great memories
Sunny G missed one name that is medium fast bowler Subrata Guha who used to play for SBI. Khalud Ansari Sportsweek used to cover Bombay local cricket very well in early seventies
Happy Birthday and God bless....❤
Very very interesting story by mr. Gavaskar..highly accomplished cricketing personality..
The formative years of the player was well covered.

वाढदिवसाच्या शुभेच्छा
Sunil Gavaskar is the very best batsman the world has seen till today. No Tendulkar & certainly no Kohli. Kohli is no batsman. Ask him to face Jimmy Anderson successfully for 6 deliveries & u will know what quality he is. If one wants to see real, classy batting, watch Gavaskar. It will be exhilarating.
Gentlemen, you please appreciate Mr. Sunil Gavaskar and wish him on his Birthday. Please don't compare with other two great players and write rubbish. What capacity, you are writing rubbish. This is the occasion to wish great SMG n not look down of others.
When people compare Gavaskar with Tendulkar & Kohli(?), they don't know cricket. Gavaskar was class apart.
Elephant's memory
Gavaskar bole Kamla Pasand.
Sarkar's Hitman is sitting in the commentary box targetting top players to unsettle them by trolling and using malice. Who is that?
Is Gavaskar the PK of cricket? Analyst who denied having taken the Supari during election times.
Gavaskar, arguably the great cricketer has been tightly slapped twice this year by one of the All Time Greats- Virat Kohli- for trolling him. Once during IPL and again by winning the MOM in T20 2024 WC final. Was Gavaskar left out on that day?
Rahul Dravid walks the talk. Not paper tiger.
Comentry tiger grown too old to catch up with the current form of cricket and the skills and mindset of the players who, unlike the legend, abhor ignominy of scoring 36 in 60 overs. World record!
Dogs bark enogh to be noticed by the Caravan?
God of cricket alone deserves BR.
Is Bolo Zuban Kesri good and easy enough to desire BR?
Raja sarkar. Feudal state. Non Biological. Sholay. MA Pol Sci ¿?¿
Anything is possible.
Make hay while the Sun is shining. Hurry up time may be running out fast for raja sarkar.
