Sunil Gavaskar’s autobiography, Sunny Days, is a story that sheds light on his mother’s love of cricket, her son, and her bravery.
At their home at the time in central Mumbai, little Gavaskar was playing with his mother, who frequently threw tennis balls his way. Young Gavaskar fired once, striking his mother in the nose. Gavaskar Jr. became frightened as soon as there was blood. As soon as the bleeding subsided, his mother cleaned her face and we continued the game, Gavaskar wrote.
Meenal Gavaskar, a batting icon who was in Bangladesh for a commentary assignment, passed suddenly on December 25 morning at the age of 90. She wasn’t just very interested in her son’s cricketing endeavors. She also adored Milind Rege, a buddy from Gavaskar’s youth.
Rege recently disclosed on the mid-day Mumbai Cricket Podcast with Clayton Murzello that Meenal Gavaskar turned them down for the 1967 India Schoolboys tour of England because it would interfere with their academic schedules.
When her kid was batting, Madhav Mantri’s sister stated she couldn’t eat. Madhav Mantri is a former Test wicketkeeper. That information was revealed in her Marathi book, Putra Whava Aisa.
Meenal Gavaskar spoke on the time her son was anxiously awaiting the news of the 1971 Indian squad to the West Indies, for which he was ultimately selected, in a translated chapter that appeared in Sportsweek’s World of Cricket.
