Mickey,
Gavaskar’s record surpassing Don’s record of centuries came in Chennia’s Chinaswami Staduim.

S.Gavaskar has a wonderful ending carrier as in 1985–86, India toured Australia for a three Test series. All three Tests were drawn. Gavaskar scored an unbeaten 166 in the first Test in Adelaide and 172 in the third Test in Sydney, ending the series with 352 runs at 117.33.

A three Test tour of England saw him score only 185 runs at 30.83, which India won 2-0 despite his unproductively. In 1986-87, Gavaskar’s final season in Test cricket, India faced a long season of eleven home Tests. Against a touring Australian side, Gavaskar made 90 in the second innings of the first Test in Madras, giving India a chance of reach the target of 348, which ended in a tie. He scored 103 in the third Test in Bombay to end the series with 205 runs at 51.66.

The first Test against Sri Lanka in Kanpur saw Gavaskar’s 34th and final Test century of 176. He scored 74 and 5 in the next two Tests as India won the three match series 2-0. The five Test series against arch enemies Pakistan was to be his last. Gavaskar scored 91 in the drawn first Test in Madras before withdrawing from the second Test in Calcutta as he had promised.

In the fourth Test in Ahmadabad, Gavaskar’s 63 made him the first batsman to pass 10,000 runs. Gavaskar was dismissed for 96 in the second innings of the third test as India were bowled out to give Pakistan a 1-0 series win.

Well Micky,
in 1983-84 Gavaskar scored Centuries against West Indies .At Delhi he seemed a transformed player attacking the bowling .
He scored his 29th century of 94 balls simply plundering the attack like an army launching a blistering attack on the enemy.He tortured Marshall as though he was a medium pacer.He hoked Marshal foe 6 and also hit aclassical straight drive of Michael Holding.

Gavaskar had now equaled Bradman’s record of 29 test centuries.
he break the records of sir bradman in madras(chenni) & became the highest centuries maker of that time ...........Gawasakar made 34 centuries that was a great record at that time ......but now sachin ricky ponting have more then 34 centuries.........

Have a nice day Mickey ..........

Sunil Gavaskar scored his 29th century of just 94 balls againest Westindies during 1983-84 to equal the maximum century record by Don Bradman. However he overtake Don bradman during the same year in the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai when he became the highest Century makers of all time.
However the record of 34 Test centuries stood for almost two decades, before it was broken by Sachin Tendulkar. Gavaskar was the first player to score 10,000 runs in Test cricket.
