MY FIRST STEPS

MY FIRST STEPS Summary

"My first steps" is an autobiography of the
Great cricketer Sunil Gavaskar.
Gavaskar explains his early days in this autobiography. Gavaskar was born on 10 July 1949.


His uncle Mr.Narayan Masurekar had come to see Gavaskar in hospital. At that time he noticed a little hole in the top of baby Gavaskar's left ear lobe. On the next day, when he came to the hospital Nan - Kaka was shocked to see, the little hole was missing. Everyone was searching for the baby. The baby was sleeping peacefully near the Fisherwoman. If Nan-Kaka had not noticed the hole, the baby would have grown up to be a fisherman.


Sunil's cricket career
     Sunil's father was a good club cricketer.
Sunil's uncle Mr, Madhav Mantri, played for India in four official test matches. Gavaskar says cricket in my blood, means that he was inherited the interest in cricket through his parents.

Whenever he goes to his uncle's house, he was admired by the pullovers and asked him if he could take one.
Madhav said one has to work hard to reach the destination. There is no short cut to reach the destination.

Sunil wants to become a batsman. Whenever he got out, he used to fight with the boys. They used to curse his names. Gavaskar used to fight and takes his bat and ball to his home. The boys decided whenever Sunil bats, they would appeal at a particular ball for getting out. All boys had to do because during those days no one had a bat or ball.
