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. But Indian cricket has never had a captain of truly world stature. People may say Tiger Pataudi was world class. A few might, albeit hesitantly, put forward the great Sunny Gavaskar.
