00:00Sunil Gavaskar has a close relationship with Kanpur.
00:05Gavaskar is a witness of Marshall's war in Kanpur.
00:10Gavaskar was scared for the first time in Green Park.
00:14The second test between India and Bangladesh will be played in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh from 27th September.
00:21The Indian team has not lost any test since 1983 in the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur.
00:27The Indian team has played 23 matches between 1952 and 2021 in the Green Park.
00:337 matches were played in India, while India had to face defeat in 3 matches.
00:38Apart from this, 13 matches were a draw.
00:41People are very excited about this test match in Kanpur.
00:45Many memories of the players are attached to the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur.
00:49Kanpur has given Team India the first Chinaman Spinner Kuldeep Yadav.
00:54Former coach of Pakistan, Divangat Bob Woolmer was born in Kanpur.
00:59And there was an incident in this ground, which no player can believe.
01:05On this ground, West Indies player McCallum Marshall gave such a fast ball to little master Sunil Gavaskar that the ball was released from his hand.
01:17This is the story of October 1983, when the West Indies team came on a tour of India.
01:25In the opposing team, Clive Lloyd used to be the captain of the West Indies team.
01:29And Kapil Dev was handling the captaincy from India.
01:33The first match of this series of 6 test matches was played in the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur.
01:38But in this test, there was an incident that shook the cricket world from within.
01:43In that test match, Gavaskar's ball was released from McCallum Marshall's short ball.
01:49I don't know how big this is in today's era.
01:53But in that era, this was a very big incident considering Gavaskar's strength.
01:57Sunil Gavaskar's ball was released from his hand.
02:00Its discussion was not only among the whole country, but also among the world's players.
02:04Some people even wrote that Gavaskar's time is over now.
02:09Gavaskar was very upset after this incident.
02:11Because Gavaskar's name was at the top of the world of cricket at that time.
02:17The West Indies' Gendwaz was also a fan of his style of playing.
02:21And it was a big incident that the ball was released from Gavaskar's hand.
02:25Anyway, after this incident, Gavaskar decided that now he will definitely strike against the West Indies.
02:36Gavaskar spent about 12 years playing international cricket at that time.
02:41Gavaskar flopped badly in both the rounds of the Kanpur Test match.
02:46In the first round, Gavaskar got out without opening the account.
02:49And in the second round, he got stuck on just 7 runs.
02:52In both the rounds, McCallum Marshall outed him.
02:55And at that time, Sunil Gavaskar in Kanpur had to face criticism due to flopping in his in-laws' house.
03:03In Delhi, Gavaskar played the first round in a lot of anger.
03:06There was a criticism in the Kanpur Test.
03:08And after the ball was released from his hand, Gavaskar decided that now he will definitely strike against the West Indies.
03:14After this, in the next test, Gavaskar played a four-tongue ball.
03:18In Delhi, in the next test, he hooked and pulled Marshall and Michael Holden.
03:23His half-circle came in 37 balls.
03:25And the third-circle equaling Bradman came in 94 balls.
03:30This was Gavaskar's reply to Kanpur.
03:32Gavaskar was humiliated in his in-laws' house.
03:35And after the ball was released from his hand, Gavaskar completed what he decided in the test in Delhi.
03:41Revenge as well as lost respect.
03:44It is said that there was a crowd in the Kotla Test to watch the clash between Gavaskar and Marshall.
03:50Many people reached the stadium only to see the match between McCallum Marshall and Sunil Gavaskar.
03:54Sunil Gavaskar and McCallum Marshall also had a good idea that the entire stadium is watching only them.
04:01Gavaskar hit fours and sixes on Marshall's short pitch.
04:06Khel Patrukar Pradeep magazine says that Gavaskar's pass was such that no one must have ever seen.
04:13Gavaskar completed a hundred in that test.
04:16This was the 95th hundred of his career.
04:19In which he hit a hundred on 94 balls.
04:22This was the fastest hundred of Gavaskar's career.
04:26Sunil Gavaskar had answered all the critics with this ball.
04:35In fact, the truth is that this fight between Sunil Gavaskar and McCallum Marshall was already going on.
04:41In 1983, when the Indian team went on a tour of West Indies, a story of that time is told by Ravi Shastri.
04:47In the first two matches of that series, Gavaskar's ball did not run.
04:51Until then, the batsmen were terrified of Marshall's name.
04:56During the match, McCallum Marshall had a ball in his hand.
04:59And Gavaskar was in front of him without a helmet.
05:02Marshall deliberately threw a short ball with full speed.
05:06Gavaskar did not get a chance to handle it.
05:09The ball went straight and hit Gavaskar's forehead.
05:12Marshall again reached his bowling mark with his speed.
05:15No player of West Indies came to the court and did not ask Gavaskar how he was.
05:22The West Indies team also tried not to give Gavaskar a chance to handle the ball.
05:27McCallum Marshall came back with a run-up with the same speed.
05:31Gavaskar was standing on the crease in his own way.
05:35After that, the whole world saw what happened.
05:38The speed at which McCallum Marshall's ball came to Gavaskar,
05:41it went beyond the boundary with double the speed.
05:45After a long time, Sunil Gavaskar's statement came in the Kanpur Test of 1983.
05:51His ball did not escape because of McCallum Marshall's speed or any fear.
05:55In fact, he deliberately held the ball with his light hand.
05:59That ball was in the upper part of Gavaskar's ball and the catch was high.
06:04After that, the ball escaped from his hand.
