Cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar, who was known to take on the pace-battery of West Indies bowlers during his playing days with aplomb, also showed "courage" to save a family during the Mumbai riots in 1993. This was recalled by his son Rohan at the event here last night where Gavaskar senior was presented with the Golden Jubilee Life Time Achievement Award by the Sports Journalists' Association of Mumbai.
