Cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar has gone viral on social media after a heartwarming moment during a public event in Mumbai, where he briefly paused his speech to answer a phone call from his wife.
The incident took place at a Rotary Club programme, where Gavaskar was the chief guest for an event celebrating the “Gift of Life” initiative, which has helped provide life saving heart surgeries to underprivileged children.
While addressing the audience, his phone rang unexpectedly. On realising the call was from his wife, he politely stopped speaking and answered it on stage. The moment brought smiles and laughter from the audience, and the video quickly spread across social media platforms.
Fans and users online praised the former India captain for his gesture, calling it a simple yet touching reminder of the importance of family. Many appreciated how he balanced professionalism with personal life in a spontaneous moment.
The event itself honoured more than 850 children who received life saving cardiac surgeries through the charitable initiative. Gavaskar later reflected on the importance of maintaining balance between work and personal commitments, noting that discipline and planning help him manage both effectively.
The lighthearted interaction has since been widely shared, offering fans a warm glimpse of the cricketing icon’s personal side.
