CLOSE-IN: The Pride Of Playing For The Nation Seems To Have Diminishing Returns (IANS Column)
When one is young and watching sports personalities bring laurels to one’s country, the pride of emulating them is the dream one aspires to when one grows up.
I can still remember the exhilarating moment when, Bishan Bedi, our Indian cricket captain handed me on my debut, the prestigious Indian cap in 1977 at Bangalore. The match being the 4th Test match against England. The idea of representing my country, made me tingle with excitement with a feeling of joy and satisfaction. The one thing that finally dawns on one, is the responsibility that comes with it. This is where pressure plays its part, some thrive in the situation and many succumb to it.
