Sunil Gavaskar

“For a batsman, the only important thing is runs. It doesn't matter how you get them, as long as you get them.”

“Cricket is a pressure game, and when it comes to an India-Pakistan match the pressure is doubled.”

“Kapil Dev is the best all-rounder India has ever produced. He was a great captain and a great player.”

“Fielding is 50 percent of the game, but we neglect it.”

“To me, cricket is a simple game. Keep it simple and just go out and play.”

“When you are an opener, you are not just a batsman but a soldier of the team.”

“Records are meant to be broken. It's the nature of the sport.”

“The beauty of sport is that it is for all. It is for the rich and the poor, the able and the disabled.”

“India's fortune will depend on how many runs the little champion scores. There is no doubt Tendulkar is the real ball player.”

“The key to handling pressure is to enjoy it.”

“Whatever I have achieved, it is because of my family's support.”

“Winning is not everything, but the effort to win is.”

“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.”
