My Take
Venkatesh Prasad, the medium-fast bowler from Bengaluru, is the kind of cricketer I admire even as a baseball fan. His partnership with Javagal Srinath was a thing of beauty, two seamers dismantling opposing lineups in tandem. Winning the Arjuna Award and then moving into coaching and Kannada commentary shows a man committed to the game beyond his own playing days. There is real character in someone who chooses to build up the next generation. Throwing heat in front of a cricket-mad nation of a billion people takes nerve, and I respect every bit of it.
