Men with incredible strength of character. Men with an innate and burning passion for the game. And men who have, despite their remarkably endowed selves, have fallen prey in one painful way or the other to captain's curse. They say Indian cricket is starved of heroes. I say, we say, Indian cricket is starved of a truly outstanding captain.
Indian cricket has superstars aplenty.
Men whose deeds I daren't go into. Indian cricket has talent. Indian cricket has passion. Indian cricket has a future. Indian cricket has always, more or less, had all that.
