Gavaskar was the most boring player along with Geoff Boycott.he only flourished on dead docile pitches.This also when the matches were were devoid of any competitive fight from opposition especially when the match was destined for dull draws.One or just two good brilliant innings are played even by a bit and pieces players.Gavaskar was accumulator of insignificant innings in dull drawn matches.Who can forget the record no win test sequence under Gavaskar's captaincy.In 1983 world cup basically Gavaskar was even dropped for some matches.His innings did not turn around the outcome of any match.
