There`s a story in Sunil Gavaskar’s autobiography, Sunny Days that provides an insight into his mother’s love for cricket, her son, her courage.
Kid Gavaskar was playing with his mother, who regularly lobbed tennis balls to him at their then residence in central Mumbai. One shot from young Gavaskar hit his mother’s nose. There was blood and soon Gavaskar Jr was scared. Gavaskar wrote that his mother just “shrugged it off, washed her face and as the bleeding stopped, we continued the game.”
