What can I say about this piece and about the 1983 World Cup
squad that has not already been said, except that I am extremely
happy it happened in my lifetime, and I hope 2011 sees a repeat!
The irony of life is most of my memorabila was damaged during a
particular heavy monsoon season in Mumbai leaving me with next to
nothing to donate to a cause. Which is why I’m so happy I found this
bat to donate to Equation. What a concept and how marvelous of The
Foundation to honour Indian sport! My best wishes.
India will forever idolise Sunil Gavaskar simply because he was the first sportsperson who showed us
what could be achieved with a combination of belief, fearlessness, steel and genius. His was the cricket
bat that absorbed our feverish hopes of success and, helmetless, he never backed down from the best
bowling attacks in history. Gavaskar made us proud, he energized us, he pushed us to be our best.
Today, this world champion honours us with a memento he talks about in his own words. But before
we do, a few from us - Sir, you’ve made our day. |
