10 cricketers who married other cricketers' sisters

1. Sunil Gavaskar and Gundappa Viswanath:

Legendary Indian cricketers, Sunil Gavaskar and Gundappa Viswanath, are considered two of the greatest batters of the game also share a personal-family relationship off the field. Gavaskar is the brother-in-law of Viswanath, as the latter married Gavaskar’s sister, Kavita, in 1978. Notably, the couple also has a son, Daivik Viswanath. Gavaskar himself, during a BCCI disciplinary hearing, revealed an unheard story of when Viswanath’s brother informed Gavaskar about Kavita and Vishy’s relationship.

"He had been dropping a hint, but maybe I wasn’t able to take it. On one of the tours, he was singing a (Bollywood) song: ‘Main kahi kavi na ban jaoon tere pyar me ae Kavita!. I was hauled up by the BCCI for writing an article where I called the selectors ‘court jesters.’ So, they called me for a disciplinary hearing at a hotel in Bangalore. And then we took a break for lunch, and till then no progress was made."

At lunch, when I came back to my room, I found (B) Raghunath (Viswanath’s brother), who asked me if I had spoken to my father (Manohar). Taken aback, I asked him: ‘Why should I speak to my father?’ ‘You need to speak to your father about Kavita and Vishy,’ he replied. So, it came bang in the middle of a disciplinary hearing, where my mind was completely elsewhere! That’s when I came to know. All of us in the family are delighted that everything went on smoothly," the former Indian opener said as quoted by TOI.
