Allrounders hitting match-saving tons means wrist spinner Kuldeep can be called up for the final Test

- Sanjeev K Samyal

When a player averages 44.87 after 12 Tests even while batting lower down the order, his batting potential is unquestionable.

On Sunday, Washington Sundar underlined his quality with a maiden century, a superb effort under extreme pressure, to help India salvage a draw in the Old Trafford Test. In 20 of his 22 innings, he has batted at Nos.7, 8 and 9 and still has solid numbers.

Ravindra Jadeja has proven his quality with the bat time and again ~3,824 Test runs. In this series, he has taken his performances to a different level.

Having learnt his game from qualified coaches in Chennai, including his cricketer father, Sundar’s basics are sound. He has a copybook technique, convincing enough to be considered as a top-order batter.

Jadeja has not looked like getting out atall in this series against England, averaging 113.50 after hitting four half-centuries and a centuryin eight innings. The Saurashtra player's control with the top hand has been so impressive and his thundering punches down the ground has had a demoralising effect on bowlers.

MF Husain: Man and myth, art and artist

M F Husain is undoubtedly India's best known and perhaps most highly regarded modern artist. As an editorial in this newspaper put it last week, he is \"arguably the most inventive artist of Indian modernism\".

Where is everyone?

We've been searching for decades, but haven't found so much as a microbe in space yet. Could it be that we're early; that life simply has not evolved yet in the neighbourhood? Are we doing it all wrong? Is there a bustling universe of sentient beings out there, waiting for us to catch on? Humans are now beginning to build technology that could make the difference in our quest for alien life. We have a growing understanding of what to look for. We're getting better at sending probes to nearby planets, which could tell us more about where and how to search. What might we find? Why does it matter? Take a look
