  • 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.
