JD(S) state president H D Kumaraswamy is an avid cricket lover. So much so that a cricket-related incident left his father, former prime minister H D Deve Gowda, embarrassed.

In college, Kumaraswamy was once caught listening to cricket commentary on a small transistor. Kumaraswamy got into an altercation with his lecturer who tried to snatch the transistor.

The issue escalated when the college principal met Gowda and complained about Kumaraswamy’s behaviour.
