Another Opportunity To See Legends Perform

As a former cricketer myself, will I see the All Stars games? Yes, of course, simply because it will be interesting to see them in action once again. Having seen Sachin At Close​ quarters and marvelled at his incredible ability, I would like to see him play the trademark straight drive down the ground just for the sheer pleasure of it, writes former India opener W. V. Raman.

There are many cricketers who at times have felt that there is more to life than cricket. But a very few firmly believed that everything is secondary to the game they are passionate about. Their dedication to the game bordered on obsession, which made them legends. The initiative of Sachin Tendulkar and Shane Warne to start an ‘All Stars’ league, comprising legends, shows that their passion for the game has still not evaporated. The legends turned out in the U. S. and the reception they got was remarkable. Now the question maybe, what is the point in them playing when they are way past their prime? The obvious answer is that they are looking to globalise the game and tap new markets.
