He was loved by everyone in the cricketing world
"' Like me , all cricket lovers in Pakistan , too , fell in love with Sunil Gavaskar much before we actually saw him in action. We first read in 1971 that a young Indian batsman had batted like a champion in the West Indies. Incidentally , Sunil Gavaskar scored 774 runs in only four Test matches. This was no joke as nobody had quite managed to dominate the Caribbean pace-battery on their own pitches. So , we all were very curious to see him.....
There is no doubt that he was one of the greatest batsmen of our era. He had Supreme ability and an impeceae technique. Following Sunil's amazing debut in the West Indies , cricketers all over the world , particularly in the subcontinent , were soon trying to copy his batting style.....
Besides , he was also a great slip fielder. At the crease , he was very determined and had great concentration. He knew the art of building an innings. He could occupy the crease for as long as he wanted. Nobody can question his sincerity on a cricket field. Just how good a cricket-brain he possessed was evident in the 1985 World Championship of Cricket in Australia where he led India to victory in the final against Pakistan. It is a pity that Sunil gave up the captaincy after that game......
I am pleased and proud that we could play against each other. I am happier that on most of the occasions we won against Sunil's India as we had a better team. Yet , Sunil scored heavily against us. That is why he is still the most talked-about Indian cricketer in Pakistan. '"
