One of the greatest leaders of English cricket, Mike Brearley led England to a historic Ashes win in 1981. Mike met Mana Sarabhai during England’s tour to India in 1976-77. Mana is the daughter of Gujarati Businessman Gautam Sarabhai and niece of Vikram Sarabhai, father of India’s space programme. Brearley hired a Gujarati tutor and took Gujarati lessons for almost 4 years after his marriage to Mana Sarabhai. The couple happily settled in England and have two children.
