On the popular show 'Family Full House', Sharma opened up about the snack that kept him awake during Test nights.
He described how late‑night cravings turned into a ritual: a small packet of his mother’s banana wafers, baked to a crisp instead of fried, slipped into his pocket as he stared at the scoreboard.
The cricketer’s own words paint the picture – "I’d be nervous, sleep would elude me, so I’d reach for that bite of home," he said, recalling the weight of a 12‑century haul and a 40.57 average.
In 67 Tests, Rohit amassed 4,301 runs, 12 centuries and 18 fifties – a career that ended last year after a 212‑run high in an India‑England clash. His confession underscores the mental fatigue that can accompany the longest format.
Sharma’s revelations come just as India gears up for the next Test against England; his candidness may offer teammates a new way to cope with pressure off the field.
