Partially agree with you. But I don't think Gavaskar played for his own self. When he was the captain of the Indian team, he demoted himself to no.5 or 6 which was in the interest of the team.
On the contrary, you ask Sachin to bat at no. 5, he will be disappointed and will prove that he cannot bat at no.5.
