When technique meets raw pace : Sunil Gavaskar vs Imran khan Two icons, One unforgettable rivalry. 🏏🔥

Gavaskar's flawless technique against Imran Khan's fierce pace created a contest every cricket fan could watch repeatedly without getting bored..

Gavaskar vs Imran was pure class vs raw pace. you could watch it on loop and never get tired.

Batter to bowler be like :- chal ja beta firse dodh kar aa or bowling kar

Both r technically strong were fully focused. Bowling needs a little good bouncing wicket. Its looking like spinning track. Red dust is coming out. Its very hard for fast bowlers to get wicket. Inspite of that Imran and Kapil demolished opposite team.

This pitch had uneven bounce, it's difficult to bat too

Yupp

This is one of the great reasons why we watch old clips again and again .

True bro, vintage cricket is full of emotions with excellent cricketing shots...

Wow this is really amazing battle

Amazing to see this! This contest was legendary & pure class! Looking back, doubts arise if pakis did ball tampering for reverse swing?

Thank you sir for the reply... They were famous for doing ball tampering.... Many times they only said openly in interviews... "Humlog ball banaate the"...

Gavaskar sahab without helmet legendary

without helmet, against some dangerous bowling attack... Truly a legeng

As a cricketer, Imran khan was the best player Pak ever produced...

Yes, there is no doubt about it....

The Legend Sunil Gavaskar sir is a best batsman

Yes bro, absolute legend 👏 Played without helmet against fast bowling...

Two legend in one frame pure nostalgic

Fierce rivals on the ground and close friends off the pitch. Always a fantastic contest to watch between Sunny G and Imran

Yes, rivals on field... Best friends off the field.. Pure joy to watch them play

What a battle that was! One was the fiercest competitor and the other man was the toughest to dislodge. Loved it!

Battle of beasts... No one is ready to lose... That intensity playing up against each other..

What a match bro

I reckon this great clip is from the famous match?

Wrong wording... Imran Khan was not raw pace, he had immaculate pace.

This game is beyond my understanding

Mohinder and Gavaskar are the best batsmen against pace bowling

Was it in 1987 or before?

SMG was great but as @KP24 says you can't let bowlers bowl to you. Here's how another Mumbai Maestro handled bottle top IK.

Nothing raw about that pace. Max 135 kmph.

Brilliant stance.. and foot movement as the ball arrives.. I have not seen a better stance than this ..

I think it’s an ODI. Sharjah by the looks of it. Intense battle between the bat and the ball. But what about the run rate? Gavaskar started to care about his run rate in odis only at the fag end of his career imho

Both greats had respectful attitude and friendky to one another

Imran was more than raw pace. Those banana inswingers were lethal and none could beat sunny when it came to handling pace bowlers

This rivalry is always gonna be unforgettable

the advertisment board are also classic, maltova bush tv yashica 🥹

Don’t think Imran had raw pace in the 80s
