Desk Correspondent , Delhi - Cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar has won hearts off the field by fulfilling a special promise made to Indian star Jemimah Rodrigues. The "Little Master" gifted Rodrigues a high-end, custom-made guitar as a reward for her match-winning performances during the 2026 ICC Women's T20 World Cup. Gavaskar had reportedly promised the young cricketer a special gift during a pre-tournament interaction, and true to his word, he presented her with the musical instrument shortly after India’s campaign.

Jemimah, who is as well-known for her musical talents as she is for her elegant batting, took to social media to share her excitement. In a heartwarming video, she was seen unboxing the guitar, which features personalized engravings commemorating her achievements. "To receive this from the legend himself is something I will cherish forever. Sunil sir is not just a great of the game but a wonderful human being who genuinely cares for the next generation," Rodrigues wrote in her post.

The gesture has been widely praised by the cricketing community, highlighting the bond between the legends of the 1983 era and the modern stars of the women's game. Gavaskar, an avid music lover himself, has often been seen cheering for the women's team from the commentary box. This personalized gift serves as a unique tribute to Jemimah’s dual identity as an elite athlete and a musician, further solidifying her status as one of the most relatable and beloved figures in Indian sports today.
