Sunil Gavaskar's customised shirt
SUNIL Gavaskar's presence can make heads turn, but yesterday even his shirt made the media fraternity here sit up and take notice. The cuffs of his crisp shirt had SMG (Sunil Manohar Gavaskar) inscribed on them. "Yes, it is a customised shirt. I got it from a shop called Masculine in Juhu. I've been wearing them for quite some time now," Gavaskar told mid-day. Gavaskar was also pleased with the jackets he gets from a shop called Avanti at Shivaji Park. "I just love them and wear them when I am doing other [media] work because when it is BCCI commentary, I have to wear their jacket," he said.
