The application process to appoint new coach - 2017

From Prof Ratnakar Shetty’s book - On Board.
“Anil was stunned, so was I”

A necessary distraction before an ICC tournament. Deja vu 😇

(this is fantastic book to read on Indian cricket administration)

A year in review, he has been good to a large extent in team selection. But this T20 WC team selection will be a test. No baggage please.

I remember buying this either on his birthday or a day before in 1992. And Sportstar did true justice in providing the best coverage of the upcoming sensation.

Sunil Gavaskar hustling in with short pitched deliveries at Allan Border !! What a character. Truly a Border-Gavaskar moment. (1980-81 WSC) (Greg Chappell chuckle 😊)

Salim Malik here casually standing at 7th or 8th stump !!

Gave a damn to any spinner. This is SL 1994 (from Zohaib's YT)

Cummins rotation of bowlers is generally spot on and it rarely gets the accolades. Inspite of huge asking rate, HE was smart enough to close the game early enough by bowling Bhuvi and himself in 17th and 18th resp. That gave a huge cushion for final two overs.

Ashwin and Virat are two players in current set up who seem to consistently improve in this T20 format with desire to adapt to the needs. Its amazing. Only time will tell if they get remembered for all the efforts.

Hence its so important that Indian team selectors and talent scouts all over should partner with experienced renowned sports journalists.

To re-watch ball by ball of the final moments from a game 25 years ago and still feel the tension is the magic of this game. Thanks Mainak Sinha🏏📽️ for the post.
