Sweet Redemption



Dada is Man of the Series against Sri Lanka. For at least an year before he was eventually dropped, it was clear he needed a break from the international scene - the loss of form, the captaincy burden, the media scrutiny, the politics, all combining to muddle his thinking and mangle his technique. We knew it all along, all he needed was a break. But then, cricket is not just about what happens on the ground. Akash Chopra, who writes really well, gives us a peek into what players have to contend with. For instance, just look at the kind of persistent provocation Dada has to face in this interview!

Update: Check out the first minute of this. Who knew the break would also give Dada wings?

The interview with Dada was the worse I have ever seen, where do they get such interviewers?

Should create a new post for Tapas's question. Too difficult for me to pick highest wicket taker and run maker, looks like an open field to me.
