Sunil Gavaskar

“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.”

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

“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.”

“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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