  • Dr. Gokaraju Gangaraju Book
    It gives me immense pleasure to inform that Dr. Gokaraju Gangaraju has done exemplary service to Andhra Cricket Association. I know Dr. Gangaraju and his father and both of them are people of noble heart. They are always keen to serve the society. Recently I inaugurated the picturesque twin grounds at Mulapadu in Krishna District. I also inaugurated the first- ever historical Test match at Visakhapatnam. After taking a look at the grounds and other infrastructure in different districts of A.P, I am thrilled by the dedicated efforts put in by Dr. Gangaraju and his team. I requested Dr. Gangaraju to give a proposal for developing adventure sports on the hillocks of Mulapadu and other sports infrastructure across the State. Top officials of BCCI, recognising his services made him the Vice President of BCCI. I would like to appreciate Dr. Gangaraju, his team of office bearers and members of ACA, who stood by him in all his endeavours in moulding ACA as a role model association in the country. 1 1 I take it as honour to inform that Andhra Cricket Association, under the dynamic leadership of Dr. Gokaraju Gangaraju, has made tremendous progress in terms of development of game and infrastructure across the state of AP. I have been watching Dr. Gangaraju in BCCI meetings. He comes to the meetings with one agenda - to seek facilities to ACA, demand postings for ACA members in sub committees of BCCI and more number of international matches for the association. He always sought the coveted Test status to Dr. Y.S.R.

  • 16, Feb 2017 Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium's Media Box - Where "Cricket Throbbed"
    16, Feb 2017 Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium's Media Box - Where "Cricket Throbbed" When Rajkot was allotted the Test Centre, local news papers, evening tabloids, Gujarati Channels etc. gave abundant coverage and pleased all the sports lovers. Till now Rajkot had witnessed ODIs, T-20s and even IPLmatches , but A Test Match is a different event, a new experience altogether . So, on the opening day atmosphere of first ever Test Match in Rajkot between India vs England from 9th to 13th November 2016 at the stadium was like a carnival !! Two local heroes Cheteshwar Pujara and Ravindra Jadeja's presence in the Indian Xl added flavour to this festive occasion. Ex-cricketers from this region were felicitated before the beginning of this Test match. It was indeed a historical event unfolding on this SCA Ground. However due to demonetisation(a day before the Test), stadium was not fully packed, people’s interest towards Test cricket is on decline but contrary to that the mood in the Media box was quite different! 15 to 20 journalists from England and 30 to 40 journalists who had came from different parts of India made the Media box at Rajkot so vibrant that it gave the message to the cricketing fraternity that ‘Test Cricket’ will throb till such ‘Test Cricket dedicated’ journalists exist ! It was my fourth test as a sports journalist. Earlier I had covered 1983 Ahmedabad’s Opening Test and the last one I covered in 2013 at Mumbai when Sachin Tendulkar played his farewell Test. When ODI reportings are becoming ‘routine’ now a days and T-20 reportings are just like fast food bites, Test Match reporting for me was a thrill.

  • 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.

  • Opening Batsman Sunil Gavaskar at Its Convocation
    This time the Aussies need no help to locate Visakhapatnam. Only in early 1996, on the eve of the World Cup, they were helped out by a Pakistani when the Australian cricketers tried to spot Visakhapatnam, the venue of their first World Cup match, on the map. They not only enjoyed their visit to the City of Destiny but also enthralled the crowd with their display as the Waugh brothers put on 207 runs for the third wicket against Kenya. Shane Warne and Vizag as a venue, made their debut in the World cup on February 23, 1996. Two years later the Aussies played here again against the Board President’s XI in March 1998 and in that match Slater and Ponting emulated the Waugh brothers by adding 206 runs for the second wicket. A double century by the former, 155 by the latter and a century by Kanitkar for the home team marked the three day batting feast. Incidentally Harbhajan Singh played here for the first time against the Australians, claiming the prize wicket of Slater. For the third time in five years the Aussies came to Visakhapatnam in 2001 to play against a resurgent India led by Sourav Ganguly, in the fifth ODI on April 3, 2001. Australia won by 93 runs. Man of the Match was M.Hayden with 111 while Ponting scored 101. Sachin Tendulkar topscored for India with 62. It all began with the great Viv Richards in 1987 when he led the West Indies team against the Board President’s XI. Since then what a galaxy of players have been seen in action here - Kapil Dev, Mohinder Amarnath, Gundappa Viswanath, Sunil Gavaskar, Srikkanth, Manjrekar, Ravi Shastri, Azharuddin, Mike Atherton, Courtney Walsh, Mark Taylor, Shane Warne, Wasim Akram, Aravinda de Silva and Arjuna Ranatunga and almost all the great teams of contemporary cricket.

Pouring his heart out during an interactive session "SAMVAAD" organized by the Students Welfare Society at Panjab University, Chandigarh, the Local Government, Tourism & Cultural Affairs Minister, Punjab, Mr. Navjot Singh Sidhu that the youth should shed the fear of failure as it is the biggest impediment to success and instead should focus on inculcating self belief which is a sure shot way to success. Urging the youth to admire but not imitate anybody, the minister said that every person carries a special talent/quality which needs to be harnessed appropriately to rise higher in life. Laying emphasis on the importance of education, the minister said that education is what makes a person self dependent and if the aspect of skill training is added to it then it can work wonders for the youth. Exhorting the students not to be cowed down by the adverse circumstances in life, Mr. Sidhu said that the real champion is the one who fights adversity and challenges head on and emerges a winner. He also said that the character is not made but exhibited in a crisis. Stressing the importance of hardwork, Mr.
