Eyes on Shreyas' possible return to the T20I set up as the selection committee meets to name squad on Tuesday
AS the senior men's selection committee meets on Tuesday to name the squad for the upcoming T20 Asia Cup, one of the key talking points will be of the middle-order batting and wicketkeeper options. That apart, there might not be too many surprises as the Indian T20I team has been hitting the right notes since the World Cup triumph last year.
From the time Gautam Gambhir took charge as the head coach, the Men in Blue have been a dynamic side in the shortest format. It is a team management that likes depth, prefers all-round options and left-right combinations. Despite the criticisms from the outside they have stuck to it and the results have been in their favour.

THE MAN WHO RESHAPED ELECTIONS
THE Election Commission's 75 years can appropriately be classified as the commission before T N Seshan and after Seshan. It is rarely that one individual singlehandedly influences the stature and credibility of an institution of national importance the way Seshan was able to do in the Election Commission.

As someone privileged to have worked in the commission's secretariat during that period, my attempt is to briefly recollect the experience of those historic six years.
