Gavaskar is still scared of 'Bouncer and Beamer': Shastri
New Delhi, PTI:
Legendary Indian opener Sunil Gavaskar may have made 70's fiery West Indian bowling line up look ordinary, but his former teammate Ravi Shastri has disclosed the little master's fear for 'Bouncer and Beamer'.
"For someone who has never been bothered by bouncers and beamers hurled at him by rival fast bowlers, Gavaskar is very scared of dogs. Every time he come across my pets, 'Bouncer and Beamer', he breaks outs in sweat," Shastri wrote in a new book 'Sunil Gavaskar: Cricket's Little Master' as a tribute to mark the 60th birthday of the Mumbai batsman.
"They keep him on his toes all the time," he said.
Legendary England all rounder Ian Botham also confirmed Gavaskar's fear for dogs.
"One day he went to a phone booth outside Tauton. As he entered the booth, I kept a dog outside... Sunny was so scared of dogs that he stayed inside the booth for two hours," he said.
Gavaskar's another teammate, Arun Lal shared with readers that the highly successful cricketer took failures in his stride by singing songs.
"He handled failures brilliantly. He usually did so by singing songs and taking a long shower. That was his 'cooling down process'," he revealed.
I have to agree with Ravishankar. This is cheap publicity stunt by DH for misleading headlines just to get few clicks on their site.
DH, pls publish meaningful articles and very minimum ads. That way,maybe you can differentiate from the other junk sites out there.
Media makes so hot news that makes everyone to read this article. It is very stupid and there are many who are scared of many things.
Better donot get into these cheap marketing skills.. Today Deccan lost its market share in Bangalore becoz, it is not giving any value addition and knowledge to the public
