"If India win the World Cup, she and I, if she's okay with it, will sing a song together. She'll have her guitar, and I'll sing along," Gavaskar said on Sports Today. "We actually did that once at one of the BCCI awards a couple of years back. There was a band playing, and we just decided to join in. She was on the guitar, and I sang with my whatever voice I have. But if India win, I would love to do it again-if she is happy to do that, happy to do that with an old man. I am all for it."
