In India he has a lot of critics. People who call him selfish and a slow batsman.

People call him selfish, yet all other selfless Indian players became burden for the team in their final years. While Gavaskar retired after winning man of the matches in last Test, 2nd last ODI and scoring 188 against Marshall and Hadlee in last FC.

People not liking Gavaskar isn't a bad thing, he's a racist loudmouthed insensitive piece of trash, never thought his batting was selfish though.

Had issues for Dev (benched him once!) and Vengsarkar for egoistic reasons and never rated Doshi (might had been the best 80s spinner with the slightest of backings. Arguably was still) instead backing Shastri as a spinner (lol).

Yeah personality and very much batting wise he's the Indian Boyc

He makes a terrible impression to many Indian fans because in the greatest triumph of 83 World Cup, he failed and mostly was a passenger.

However, people don't separate that aspect of Limited Overa limitedness with his real value as a Test world beater. Because that format requires more than just instant gratification of a single tournament result, and to look at nuance of performance over time and against quality opposition to really understand matchwinning value.
