Gavaskar’s NFT collection featured the landmark moments of his career as a cricket player, including the time when he scored 774 runs in single test series. Besides this, there were NFTs based on his record number of Test centuries (34) and Gavaskar being the first cricketer to score 10,000 runs. Sunil Gavaskar’s NFT collection was curated and designed by nftie, which is an NFT specialist based in London.
