Riding a Billion Dreams, Indian Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni's Devils Lift the World Cup After 28 Long Years PUBLICATION OF THE CONSULATE GENERAL OF INDIA IN DUBAI VOL.3 ISSUE 4 | APRIL 2011 WORLD CHAMPS Riding a billion dreams, Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s Devils lift the World Cup after 28 long years C FROM THE CONSUL GENERAL’S DESK O Dear Reader, We wish very hearty congratulations to Team India and all its N fans! An unbending desire to win transformed a team that looked flawed to begin with, into worthy winners bringing home India’s second World Cup, 28 years after the glorious victory Kapil Dev’s team achieved. T For many in my generation, the World Cup victory this year will bury forever the last ball six in Sharjah in the summer of 1986. This victory will also erase the 1996 defeat in the Cricket World E Cup semifinals and for many more this victory will blank out the ignominious exit from the 2007 World Cup. Our cover story is dedicated to Dhoni and his boys. N The Indian economy continues its impressive growth. The trade figures for the Financial Year 2010-2011 are out and India’s merchandise exports approached $246 billion. UAE remains our largest trading partner, also accounting for 47 percent of exports T in the gems and jewellery sector. We have never been more engaged with the international economy. The growth is likely to continue in the coming years as well. S 4 World Champs Happy Reading!

  • 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.

  • Hero, Celebrity and Icon: Sachin Tendulkar and Indian Public Culture*
    13 PRASHANT KIDAMBI Hero, celebrity and icon: Sachin Tendulkar and Indian public culture* When he completed twenty years in international cricket in November 2009, Sachin Tendulkar reaffi rmed his status as one of the greatest public icons of post-independence India. Ever since his genius was fi rst glimpsed on the maidans of Bombay over two decades ago, Tendulkar has reigned supreme as a sporting idol, his popularity cutting across the boundaries of caste, class, gender, region and religion. Curiously, however, there has been relatively little scholarly scrutiny of the Tendulkar phenomenon and what it might tell us about the changing nature of Indian public culture. This chapter attempts to understand, and account for, Sachin Tendulkar’s enduring hold over the Indian public imagination by exploring three facets of his remarkable career. The fi rst section considers, in historical context, Tendulkar as ‘hero’: someone who displays superlative skills and performs spectacular feats. An analysis of popular sporting fi gures needs to reckon with the ways in which their attributes and accomplishments on the fi eld of play are crucial to their elevation as heroes. However, the analytical prism of the ‘hero’ is insuffi cient in itself in accounting for Tendulkar’s fame. The second section suggests that Tendulkar’s celebrity is an attendant effect of the intensifi ed relationship between cricket, television and money in con- temporary India. At the same time, the immense power and resonance of Tendulkar’s image within Indian society makes him more than a frothy con- fection of the sport–media nexus. The fi nal section argues that as a national icon Tendulkar embodies the aspirations of millions of Indians.

At 16, in 1989, he made his Test debut against Pakistan, the third- youngest player to play Test cricket. More than 20 years on the statistics abound. Tendulkar's 166 Test matches put him second on the all-time list, two behind Australia's Steve Waugh. Last month he became the first batsman to pass 13,000 Test runs. His 47 Test centuries are a record. (Australia's Ricky Ponting his next on the list with 39.) In one-day internationals he has scored more runs than anybody – 17,598. At 37, there is no talk of retirement and he plans to play in next year's World Cup. Sachin Tendulkar Records, Sachin Tendulkar World Records, Sachins ODI And Test Records.
