Shiv Sunder Das, whose sterling performance helped India break the 15- year-old jinx of not being able to win a Test match outside the sub continent, has been offered an executive post in the Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) by the Indian Steel Minister Braja Kishore Tripathy.

Praising Das for his determination to rise as a great player, the Minister said in a press statement, "Das has brought laurels to the entire nation and established himself as an eminent player."

The stocky opener from Orissa had hit an unbeaten 82 in the second innings besides contributing a cameo knock of 30 in the first and taking three catches in the match to help India register a comprehensive eight-wicket win over Zimbabwe in the first of the two Tests against hosts Zimbabwe
