i thought that bedi and sunny never got along very well because when
gavaskar was captain the team was full of bombay players and when bedi
was captain the team was full of delhi players.

That may have been true (Bedi's letter to the press signed as "Manager,
Indian Cricket Team" railing at SMG for not accepting the MCC membership
is well known). However, Bedi did name his son Gavasinder singh - the
son was born during one of the test matches in the Windies where SMG
made a century.

Bad form I know, to clarify my own post and deny others the pleasure of
corrections etc. Still, just wanted to clarify that this was in SMG's
debut series. Perhaps even his debut ton. I remember reading that he
felt extremely honoured by Bedi's gesture to such a junior up-and-coming
player like himself. In any case, SMG did have Bedi in "Idols".

and Gavaskar began on the tour to England in 1974. Bedi had a few
(at least one in public) fights with captain Wadekar on that tour,
and Gavaskar, in his subsequent writing, seems to have felt that
Bedi was not supporting the captain (and by inference, the team).
Since Wadekar was from Bombay, that perhaps lent a "Delhi vs
Bombay" flavour to it.
Bedi's son, as Sailesh points out, was born well before
that tour, and was named after Gavaskar in recognition of
Gavaskar's performances in the WI in 1971. Incidentally,
Gavaskar named his own son after three of his own idols:
Rohan (Kanhai) Jai(simha)vishwa(nath) Gavaskar. I see that
both CI and Khel.com list Rohan Gavaskar as "RS Gavaskar",
which CI expands to "Rohan Sunil Gavaskar". Perhaps I've
dreamt up the Jaivishwa part. I must be getting senile
in my old age. Of course, if it is "RJS Gavaskar"..."RJS"
are famous initials in Bombay :-).

No, not yet :) Gavaskar did indeed name his son 'Rohan Jaivishwa',
but it is unusual among Marathi people to use two names. The
tradition is to use your father's first name as your middle name;
thus Rohan is listed as RS Gavaskar, but he has this "second name"
Jaivishwa. Personally I think it's a crazy idea to name your son
after someone prominent :) Bedi must nowadays be rather reticent to
introduce his son to people :)
>Of course, if it is "RJS Gavaskar"..."RJS" are famous initials in Bombay :-).
Really? I can't think of anyone else with those initials... who are
you referring to? :)

Yes actually, Bishan and his first (Australian) wife had two children - Gavasinder & Gillinder. Their mother, Glenith, left him to return to Australia with the children after Bishan had begun a relationship with his current wife.
