Delhi: Test cricket was always a little different for Rohit Sharma, famous for his ferocious batting on the field. The former captain of India told that during the test matches, he used to be very nervous inside and sometimes due to this reason he could not even sleep at night. At such times, one thing gave him solace and that was his mother's handmade banana wafers.

Rohit shared an interesting anecdote to his night routine and food choices during test matches in his TV show 'Family Full House with Rohit Sharma'.

He told that Test cricket was his favorite format, but the pressure of this format often made him restless.

Couldn't sleep before test match

Rohit told that playing Test cricket has never been easy for him. According to him, every format has its own challenges, but in Test cricket there is a different level of pressure and mental preparation.

He said that he was always nervous during test matches. This was the reason why many times during match days he could not sleep the whole night and remained awake.

It is very important for a player to prepare for the next day during a Test match, but it was not easy for Rohit to calm his mind during those nights.

Whenever I felt hungry at night, I used to remember mother's wafers.

When Rohit could not sleep and remained awake till late night, he felt like eating something. At such times, his support was not the special food of the hotel, but the banana wafers made by his mother from home.

Rohit told that he used to keep this 'comfort food' with him during test matches.

His mother used to make banana wafers at home and this gave him a homely feeling during tough matches.

In the world of cricket, where players are very cautious about their diet, this story of Rohit shows a very personal and lovely aspect of his career.
