Message:Dear Sunil Gavaskar, Wish you a very happy and prosperous birthday. I cannot forgot an unfortunate moment where I saw you coming in a building called "EVEREST BUILDING" in Mumbai in the year 2000. As I haven't seen you face to face before...it took me few minutes to recoznised you and by the time it was late. You gave a smile to me and I thought its a normal protocol. I remember, you were in yellow shirt and a black pant with couple of files in ur hand. Also there was no one that time in the corridore. I missed it...But what can I say.....May be I'll get one more chance. Anyway....may god fulfill all ur ambitions and goals....with a sound health. kind regards, Sunil Kumar Qld, Australia

Message:Dear Sunny Bhai, Wish You Many Many Happy Returns Of The Day. I have only one request, please come back and start opening for India - You will disember the current day bowlers even at 54. Or atleast allow yourselves to be cloned. Although I was very young (about 12 years) when you retired, I cannot forget some of your great innings which I have seen (live / highlights etc.) 1. 121 against west indies at kotla - 29th century 2. your 54 odd against england at edbagston in 1986 (third test) 3. your 96 against pakistan (i think its the greatest innings played on a square turning wicket. 4. ur assault on ewen chatfield in the benson and hedges traingular in 1986 and in reliance cup league match against the Kiwis.
