Superstition has proved a great equaliser. It is prevalent amongst everybody, from the local baniya , the famous film director, to the young fellow who delivers your newspaper. We all have something that we believe propels our team to victory. The fans are not the only ones who have a set of convictions.
Cricketers have some strong beliefs that they follow while playing.
Sachin Tendulkar wears his left pad first. Sourav Ganguly carries a photo of his Guru in his pocket when he is playing. Steve Waugh carries a red handkerchief in his left pocket, which was given to him by his late grandfather. Phil Simmons has a cross attached to his sweater. Mahela Jayawardhena keeps kissing his bat, while batting, when he is going fine.
