    1) The passage describes an incident from the childhood of famous Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar where he was accidentally switched at birth with another baby. 2) His uncle noticed that Gavaskar had a hole in his left earlobe and the next day discovered that the baby in the crib next to his mother did not have the same hole. 3) A frantic search ensued and baby Gavaskar was eventually found sleeping peacefully beside a fisherwoman, unaware of the commotion. Gavaskar is grateful to his uncle for noticing the distinguishing feature that prevented a more serious mix-up.

    Read the lesson (Pg-12)


    of my left ear-lobe. The next
    day, he came again and
    picked up the baby lying in
    the crib next to my mother.
    To his utter horror, he
    discovered that the baby did
    not have the hole on his left
    e ar - l o be . A f r a n t i c s e ar c h
    was made and I was located
    sleep ing p ea cefully bes ide
    a fisher-woman, totally
    ignorant of the commotion
    I had caused. The mix-up,
    it appears, followed after
    the babies had been given

    their bath. I am grateful


    to my uncle for noticing
    the hole, for I have often
    wondered what would
    have happened if nature
    had not ‘marked’ me
    out. Perhaps, I would
    have grown up to be
    a fisherman working
    somewhere along the
    West Coast. And, what
    about the baby, who, for
    a spell, took my place?
    I do not know if he is
    interested in cricket
    or whether he will ever
    read this book. I can
    only hope that if he
    does, he will start taking
    a little more interest in
    Sunil Gavaskar.
    Extract from Sunny Days—by Sunil Gavaskar
