Mumbai, Jan 10 : Sunil Gavaskar proved once again that he never forgets his promises. The legendary former India captain recently met women’s cricket star Jemimah Rodrigues and turned a light-hearted assurance into a memorable moment.
Gavaskar gifted Jemimah a customised guitar shaped like a cricket bat, perfectly blending his love for the sport with music. In a video that has gone viral, Gavaskar greets Jemimah with a warm smile, hands over the unusual gift, and cracks a playful joke, saying he was not the “opening bat” that day.
The highlight came moments later when Gavaskar and Jemimah performed a duet of the iconic song Yeh Dosti from the film Sholay, originally sung by Kishore Kumar and Manna Dey. Fans immediately took to social media, sharing the heartwarming clip.
“Sunil sir kept his promise and we ended up jamming with the coolest Bat-ar ever. This was a special one,” Jemimah wrote on Instagram.
Earlier, Gavaskar had promised to jam with Jemimah if she went on to win the Women’s ODI World Cup, and the video showcases his unique way of keeping that word.
