“During my early cricket days, we were touring England with Sachin as my room partner and I spotted him walking across the room one night, I thought he must have got up to use the washroom, so I turned around and slept and didn’t ask him anything the following day. But the same happened for a couple of days, so I asked him to stop doing that as he was scaring me. And in reply, Sachin said that he has this habit of sleepwalking at night,” revealed Sourav Ganguly.   

The president of Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) also revealed that the 'Master Blaster' used to play with his bat whenever he was going through a bad patch of form.
