Gavaskar revealed how few senior board members and a few cricketers tried to cause problems between the two.
The Indian cricket fraternity paid tribute to Kapil Dev and co. as June 25 marked the 37th anniversary of India's 1983 World Cup triumph.

Fans on social media were impressed with Kapil's new look and started comparing him to James Bond villain and Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh.
Take for example Krish Srikkanth. Could he have hooked a Pat Cummins bouncer without helmet? What about Ben Stokes? How would he have managed a slower delivery from Manoj Prabhakar?
Shoaib's suggestion had earlier been put down by former Indian captain Kapil Dev, who said that India didn't need the money and the focus now should be on staying healthy.
Srikkanth was part of the squad that Kapil led to victory in the 1983 World Cup and feels that Kohli's self-believe is reminiscent of the former all-rounder.
Kapil Dev has said that organising cricket matches in such a situation would put players under big risk.
