Answer 1

good  question

I  have heard, Gavaskar wore a bike helmet much before Packer cricket began.

Sunil Gavaskar never wore a helmet, but had a specially designed headgear for himself to protect his skull from any damage. The headgear, though considered safe at that point in time, now is believed was not safe to be worn.---wiki

Gavaskar played  with a self-designed skullcap that was at best a poor clone of the helmet.---rediff

Answer 2

Sunil Gavaskar

Answer 3

Mohinder Amarnath
