CEAT Lifetime Achievement Award - Sunil Gavaskar

The 'Little Master' rewrote the record books in a 16 year-long career from 1971 to 1987. He was an extraordinary batsman, a competent fielder and a tactically astute skipper. He was the first cricketer to play 100 consecutive Test matches, and he still holds the record for scoring the maximum number of Test hundreds (34).

The first batsman in the history of Test cricket to score 10,000 runs, he is today one of the most respected senior statesmen of the game. The master batsman is now a revered journalist, a popular commentator and an ace administrator.
