Sunil Gavaskar
Birthday: Born in 1949-07-10 in Bombay, India
Deathday: Alive
Sunil Gavaskar was the first to get 10,000 Test runs and 30 centuries. India's lynchpin of the 70s and 80s, and arguably their first great batsman, he was known for his immaculate defence but was equally at ease hooking and pulling the most fearsome bowlers of all time.
