The board room has been named "10000 Gavaskar" in honour of what he has done for Indian cricket. The former India skipper arguably started everything and laid the foundation of Indian cricket, which is being carried forward by the generations.
Gavaskar played cricket during one of the toughest periods, as during his playing days, there was hardly used to be body protection. The batting great scored truckloads of runs against the threatening fast bowlers of the West Indies, Pakistan, Australia, and others.
Gavaskar made his debut for the India National Cricket Team in 1971 in Test cricket and then, in 1974, was handed the ODI Cap as well. His last appearance for the team came in 1987, and during that period, he set many records, some of which are still unbroken.
