Former India cricket captain Sunil Gavaskar's moustache became quite a style statement during the inaugural edition of the Asia Cup played at Sharjah, UAE in 1984. It was also the first time that India won a tournament under Gavaskar's captaincy. India won both their matches in the tournament.

Speaking at India Today's Salaam Cricket 2018, he disclosed that he decided to sport a moustache in order to get some more sleep. Gavaskar explained: "Matches used to start very early and I liked my sleep. Like most of us, I wanted to sleep five extra minutes. I didn't have to shave my moustache so I could sleep those extra five minutes."
