In the Hindu, Vijay Lokapally profiles local club cricket in Delhi and follows several top cricketers who turn out in the heat of the summer, be it to maintain ties with their origins, or to regain lost form.
“I love playing local cricket because it brings back memories of the days when we would dream of playing big cricket. It provides us with a chance to keep in touch with the basics of the game. Remembering the basics and your humble beginnings help you keep your feet on the ground,” says Sehwag, who would happily travel a good 35km (from his Najafgarh home) just to play a local cricket match. And this a few weeks after he had made a Test triple century!
