Sunil Gavaskar is widely regarded as one of the greatest opening batsmen in cricket history but very few knows about his weakness he had in his playing days. Its not the fast bowlers or green pitches but "Glucose Parle-G" biscuit that former opener loves to eat on tour. Also Check What Kumble Loves about Kohli.
This weakness for glucoes bicuits was revealed by his younger sister Nutan at a function organised to mark his birthday by the Legends Club at the Cricket Club of India. "He used to like those biscuits...Parle G gluco biscuits. West Indies was a long way off and (it was a) long tour, so he would like to have those biscuits for his tea or coffee, so whoever was travelling there, we would try and send those packets of biscuits for him," Nutan Gavaskar told reporters.
"He would pack (the biscuits before the tour), they often used to get over in three weeks or a month." "Wherever he travelled, and whoever travelled to that place...some journalist, or someone we knew, or relatives, some friends (we used to send biscuits with them)," she added. "Now he is a little worried about diabetes and those biscuits are little sweet, so he tries and avoids them, (but) he still likes them," she said.
