Former India captain Rohit Sharma has revealed that his mother's homemade baked banana wafers were his comfort food during sleepless nights in Test matches. Speaking on his new television show 'Family Full House with Rohit Sharma', Sharma said the format's pressure would make him nervous and keep him awake, and he would crave a late-night snack.
Sharma said the banana wafers were baked, not fried, and he always carried them on tours. He scored 4,301 runs in 67 Tests with 12 centuries before retiring in May 2026. The show airs on Sony Entertainment Television from Saturday.
