Gavaskar turns 56

NEW DELHI: It was another birthday away from home for former India cricket captain Sunil Gavaskar as he woke up in London on Sunday to be wished by his wife Marshneil on turning 56. During his illustrious career, which lasted over 16 years, 125 Tests and 108 one-dayers, Gavaskar has celebrated many of his birthdays while on tours. Gavaskar has been perhaps the most complete Indian cricketer. Apart from scoring 10,122 Test and 3,092 one-day runs and hitting a world-record 34 Test centuries, Gavaskar led India in 47 Tests. — HNS
