  • Cobbling Together the Dream Indian Eleven
    COBBLING TOGETHER THE DREAM INDIAN ELEVEN Whenever the five selectors, often dubbed as the five wise men with the onerous responsibility of cobbling together the best players comprising India’s test cricket team, sit together to pick the team they feel the heat of the country’s collective gaze resting on them. Choosing India’s cricket team is one of the most difficult tasks as the final squad is subjected to intense scrutiny by anybody and everybody. Generally the point veers round to questions such as why batsman A was not picked or bowler B was dropped from the team. That also makes it a very pleasurable hobby for followers of the game who have their own views as to who should make the final 15 or 16 when the team is preparing to leave our shores on an away visit or gearing up to face an opposition on a tour of our country. Arm chair critics apart, sports writers find it an enjoyable professional duty when they sit down to select their own team as newspapers speculate on the composition of the squad pointing out why somebody should be in the team at the expense of another. The reports generally appear on the sports pages on the morning of the team selection. This has been a hobby with this writer for over four decades now and once the team is announced, you are either vindicated or amused. And when the player, who was not in your frame goes on to play a stellar role for the country, you inwardly congratulate the selectors for their foresight and knowledge.

  • When Swami Blessed Sachin A.Prasanna Kumar “Life Is a Game
    When Swami blessed Sachin A.Prasanna Kumar “Life is a game, play it, a simple yet complicated game, a complicated yet simple game,” famously said Sri Sathya Sai Baba in a message. The message itself is simple yet profound. When Sunil Gavaskar and Alvin Kallicharan, two ardent devotees of Sri Sathya Sai Baba, requested him to host an international cricket match, Swami was pleased to consider it favourably and he graciously chose the game of cricket to spread the message of unity and oneness. Things began to happen with rapid speed. EAS Prasanna came up with plans to transform the Sathya Sai Hill View Stadium in Puttaparthi into a first class venue. On December 30, 1997 a One Day International Cricket match for Sri Sathya Sai Unity Cup was hosted between India XI led by Sachin Tendulkar and International XI led by 1996 World Cup Champion side’s Captain Arjuna Ranatunga. The Unity Cup match, the first of its kind to be held anywhere, became a mega sporting event with the presence and participation of top cricketers, past and present, from almost all leading cricket playing countries. Thanks to ACA Secretary N.Venkata Rao I was also privileged to go there to witness the unique event. The previous evening Venkata Rao and I went to the ground where former India fast bowler G.Kasturirangan, along with Kallicharan, was supervising the ground preparations as per the advice of EAS Prasanna. As the few of us were chatting away a limousine slid into the stadium. Lo behold! Bhgawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba came out of the car and behind him walked with folded hands Sunil Gavaskar, Arjuna Ranatunga and Sachin Tendulkar.
