Through all my sporting successes I never forgot the humble
beginnings I came from. Growing up like that taught me that
the problems in this country can only be surmounted if all of us
work together, work tirelessly. The Foundation is one of the many
organizations trying to do just that. The bat I have donated maybe
precious to me, but the feeling I have done something to help create a
more just world is of greater worth.
What sports auction in this country could be complete without a piece from Kapil Dev Nikhanj? Each time
he picked up ball or bat every Indian knew anything was possible (the 175* v Zimbabwe in the 1983 World
Cup is just one of scores of instances). We must admit to some trepidation at approaching one of the game’s
legends, but Kapil was unbelievably spontaneous, incredibly largehearted. He has donated his last piece of
1983 World Cup memorabilia. It is a bat signed by the entire cricket team that made history 27 years ago.
Today, the grace and fluidity of one of the most awesomely talented sportspersons is matched only by his
warmth and passion for this country. Sir, you make us proud. |
