GAUTAM GAMBHIR Published 28.5.19 a Friend Was Determined To
GAUTAM GAMBHIR Published 28.5.19 A friend was determined to watch the London Olympics. He saved for a year to be there and savour the mother of all spor�ng ac�ons, the Olympics. We all know the ac�on and the layered drama that sports produce but he speaks about a completely different aspect about those Olympics. A�er having spent more than 20 years of his life watching cricket in India, he swears by the organisa�onal ability of England to host an event of that magnitude. He claims that even in these �mes of terror a�acks and hyper-security measures, London never seemed ruffled. It was always polite and seemingly laidback. My buddy is now off to the UK again to watch the Cricket World Cup. Since the Summer Olympics of 2012, a school in Peshawar has been a�acked, so has the Manchester Arena and lately even a mosque in New Zealand. It is clear. The perpetrators want to widen their strike zones to increase the fear. Hence as I write this preview to this mega cricke�ng event, I want to share that safety of all concerned is paramount for me. Afghanistan, the babies of the cricke�ng world, would know what I mean. For them, cricket provides iden�ty, it gives them a purpose and above all it gives them pride. They will certainly not win this one but their mere presence gives hope to our region. I will be checking their progress very closely. I am not sure if Madame Tussauds, London has a statue of ViratKohli.

Virender Sehwag and Cricket's Existential Anxiety
Fair Play REVISTA DE FILOSOFÍA, ÉTICA Y DERECHO DEL DEPORTE www.upf.edu/revistafairplay Virender Sehwag and Cricket’s Existential Anxiety Ratul Das Heritage Law College (India) Citar este artículo como:Ratul Das (2018): Virender Sehwag and Cricket’s Existential Anxiety, Fair Play. Revista de Filosofía, Ética y Derecho del Deporte, vol. 12, p.54-67 FECHA DE RECEPCIÓN: 7 Junio de 2018 FECHA DE ACEPTAPCIÓN: 29 de Agosto 2018 Virender Sehwag and Cricket’s Existential Anxiety Ratul Das Heritage Law College (India) Abstract The article is in the nature of a personal interpretation of the illustrious career of former Indian batsman Virender Sehwag. Known for his swashbuckling stroke play, he found his niche at the top of the famed Test batting line up that once boasted of the likes of Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, V.V.S. Laxman and Saurav Ganguly, despite unanimous opinion of critics about the glaring deficiencies in his batting technique. His rather inconsistent returns in limited overs cricket run counter to the conventional wisdom that associates the ‘copybook style’ of batting with greater successes in the longest format of the sport. The article is less of an attempt to a statistical analysis of the batsman for reaching a quantitative explanation for the said ‘anomaly’ in his performances, and more of an enquiry into his ‘inner world’ as a batsman, offering a metaphorical insight into the existential dichotomy of the longer and shorter formats of cricket. The author draws from the perspective of Danish theologian Soren Kierkegaard on anxiety and that of American anthropologist Ernest Becker on neurosis, reflecting on the various manifestations of despair that haunt batsmen across formats, as a window to Sehwag’s unique defences in dealing with the anxieties at the batting crease.
