List of international cricket centuries by Sunil Gavaskar
[2] Described as one of the greatest opening batsmen in cricket history,[3][4] Gavaskar played 125 Test matches and scored 10,122 runs.[5] Gavaskar's record of 34 Test centuries stood for almost two decades before Tendulkar surpassed it in December 2005.[2][8][9] As of 2012, he is the third-highest run scorer for India in Test cricket, after Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid.[12][13] Gavaskar's highest Test score of 236 not out came against the West Indies at Chennai in 1983,[5][N 1] an Indian record at that time.[13] Gavaskar's solitary century in ODIs came in the penultimate innings of his career—against New Zealand—during the 1987 Cricket World Cup where he scored 103 runs in 88 balls; the performance ensured India's victory, which earned him a man of the match award.
