    Many happy returns of this day. Build the innings of life as carefully and meticulously as you always did. Your technique was a visual treat. Just play the days of life according to its merit, as you always did, without looking at the scoreboard. Century will come automatically.

    Happy Birthday 🎂. Gavaskar's era was far tougher than today's era. Now ICC handicapped fast bowlers and after 20-20 cricket has nothing for bowlers. Even Tendulkar's era 90s saw great fast bowling. So it is nonsense to compare.

    He doesnt like Kohli. Maybe because he doesnt play for Mumbai or Mumbai Indians unlike Rohit Sharma.
