The battles between Sunil Gavaskar and the West Indies remain a timeless topic of discussion among cricket fans. Gavaskar has shared numerous stories about facing the Caribbean side’s pace attack. The West Indies had the ability to send batters straight to the hospital with their brutal pace.
"You should have seen the West Indians. Ask Sunil Gavaskar. He will tell you. Oh, it's another man. Small man. I'm going to kill you, man. You have kids. Go home. You bloody this and this and this and this," Yograj told Inside Sports.

Sunil Gavaskar dominated the West Indies fast bowling attack in the late 1970s and 1980s. While many batters struggled or even feared facing the West Indian pace quartet, Gavaskar delivered exceptional performances.
Gavaskar amassed 2,749 runs in 27 Tests at an average of 65.45, including 13 centuries. He performed even better in their own backyard, scoring 1,404 runs in 13 Tests in the Caribbean at an average of 70, with 7 centuries.
