Sunil Gavaskar's 6,000 Test Runs — The 1981 Milestone on the Road to 10,000
India
1 March 1981
Sunil Manohar Gavaskar reached 6,000 Test runs in 1981, during India's home season — a milestone that placed him among the very small group of batters who had ever reached the figure to that point and that confirmed his trajectory toward the 10,000 mark he would eventually become the first batter in Test history to cross. The 6,000-run milestone is a less-celebrated cricket landmark than the 10,000 he reached in 1987, but it was the moment Gavaskar's career arc became unambiguously historic.
