2. Sunil Gavaskar:
Perhaps one of the best Indian batsmen is sadly in this list. He has been always criticized for his slowness in his scoring despite what situation the team was in. The most alarming incident was in a World Cup match between England and India when India had to score 334 runs off 60 overs.
In that era, it was not easy enough. Chasing down to such a mammoth score, Gavaskar took too much time in the crease to Settle down. He scored 36 runs off 176 balls. The reason for such a slow inning in such a huge chase still remains in dark.
The then India manager GS Ramchand, had some strong opinions at the time. He said, “ It was the most disgraceful and selfish performance I have ever seen… his excuse was, the wicket was too slow to play shots but that was a stupid thing to say after England had scored 334.”
