A truncated tour becomes the most important one in the Kiwi opener’s life and how. One of the best cricketers the world has ever seen, Glenn Maitland Turner, while touring India for the first time as the member of New Zealand cricket team,  met his better-half to be in a social gathering in the city of Mumbai. The year was 1970 and lady Turner, then Sukhinder Kaur Gill was studying in the university. “It was pretty difficult for two young people to socialize during those days, especially for a boy and girl,” Glenn later quoted in an interview.

Though difficult at that time, they managed to hold onto their relationship and finally the both got married in the year 1973 and are happy parents of two children.
