Gavaskar's 35-Year-Old "Strangle Sachin" Video Goes Viral

• A 35-year-old video of Sunil Gavaskar jokingly threatening to "strangle" Sachin Tendulkar if he didn't score 15,000 runs and 40 centuries has gone viral.
• Gavaskar made the comment in 1990 during an interview when Sachin had just started his career and had only one century.
• Sachin Tendulkar far surpassed Gavaskar's challenge, retiring with 34,357 runs and 100 international centuries across all formats.
• He holds the record for most runs in Tests (15,921 runs, 51 centuries in 200 matches) and ODIs (18,426 runs, 49 centuries in 463 matches).
• Sachin's achievements are considered unparalleled, especially given the era of fewer facilities and dominant bowlers.

Why It Matters: Gavaskar's playful challenge to Sachin in 1990 foreshadowed Tendulkar's unparalleled cricketing legacy.
