He took to Twitter and wrote, тАЬToday, #SunnySideUp ,for a man who taught a- not very high on confidence generation , 'Fusfusana Band-India bano Dabanng'. He was┬а truly a Dabanng for his courage to face bowlers who looked like killing you,without any fear and protective gear. Happy Birthday Sunil Gavaskar.тАЭ

Sachin Tendulkar posted a tweet in Marathi which read, тАЬрдЖрдкрд▓реНрдпрд╛ рдХреМрд╢рд▓реНрдпрдкреВрд░реНрдг рдЦреЗрд│реАрдиреЗ рдХреНрд░рд┐рдХреЗрдЯрдЪреНрдпрд╛ рдореИрджрд╛рдирд╛рд╡рд░ рдЕрд╕рдВрдЦреНрдп рд╕рд╛рдордиреЗ рдЬрд┐рдВрдХреВрди, рдЪрд╛рд╣рддреНрдпрд╛рдВрдЪреА рдордиреЗ рдЬрд┐рдВрдХрдгрд╛рд░реНрдпрд╛, рдорд╣рд╛рди рдХреНрд░рд┐рдХреЗрдЯрдкрдЯреВ, Sunil Gavaskar, рдпрд╛рдВрдирд╛ рд╡рд╛рдврджрд┐рд╡рд╕рд╛рдЪреНрдпрд╛ рд╣рд╛рд░реНрджрд┐рдХ рд╢реБрднреЗрдЪреНрдЫрд╛. рддреБрдореНрд╣рд╛рд▓рд╛ рдкреБрдвреАрд▓ рд╡рд░реНрд╖ рд╕реБрдЦрд╛рдЪреЗ рдЬрд╛рд╡реЛ.тАЭ

VVS Laxman too wished his childhood hero and tweeted, тАЬBirthday Greetings to my childhood hero and inspiration, Sunil Gavaskar. Playing fearlessly against the most fearsome bowlers in their own conditions, he instilled courage and belief in many young Indian batsmen. Have a great day and year ahead, Sunny Bhai.тАЭ

Apart from being an amazing batsman, Gavaskar was also a fine slip fielder and his safe catching in the slips helped him become the first Indian (excluding wicket-keepers) to take over a hundred catches in Test matches.
