Career
A successful first class career ensured that he secured a place in the 1970-71 Indian team to tour the West Indies. In the five match series, he had to miss the first one due to an injury. But he more than made up for that by scoring a mammoth 774 runs in the next four matches and helped India win the series.http://www.scott-baldwin.com/Blogs/Other-blog/July-2016/Are-You-Aware-of-New-Tax-Rules-for-Partnerships-.aspx?saved=1
His spectacular debut made the cricketing fans in India hail him as a national hero. The pressure mounted on his young shoulders and he could not perform well in the England tour that followed.
On a tour of West Indies in 1975-76 he scored back-to-back centuries making 156 and 102 runs in the second and third tests respectively. His century in the third test played a crucial role in India’s win.
He toured Australia in 1977-78 and had a blast there! He was in top form and scored three consecutive Test centuries in the first three tests. However, his performance went in vain as India lost the series.http://shalomboston.com/Default.aspx?tabid=78&mid=428&ctl=ArticleView&articleId=134&language=he-IL
India and Pakistan had always been arch cricket rivals and the pressure was high when India toured Pakistan in 1978-79. Gavaskar played well but could not score centuries in the first two tests. However, he scored two centuries, one each in the each innings of the third test.
Over the 1970s and 1980s Gavaskar captained India on many occasions. But he was not very successful as a captain. Thus he was replaced by Kapil Dev who was a leading pace bowler. However, after a few years he was again made the captain and a few years down the line he was replaced by Kapil Dev again.http://p2m.pnl.ac.id/berita-program-hibah-pengabdian-dipa.html
The decade of the 1980s began with a difficult series against England which India won 1-0. He made a total of 500 runs at an average of 62.5 in this series.
