The baton of India’s batting excellence has witnessed a seamless transition over the last five decades. Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar and then Virat Kohli headlined this movement. Interestingly, Tendulkar was Gavaskar’s fan, and equally he remains Kohli’s idol.
Terrific trio
There were other terrific batters in their respective eras including current India coach Rahul Dravid but the troika of Gavaskar, Tendulkar and Kohli reign supreme.
