The Greats: Sachin Tendulkar and Sunil Gavaskar
When it comes to cricketing legends, Sachin Tendulkar and Sunil Gavaskar are like the cozy seat warmers blocking a seat for the newbies, long long after their use-by dates elapsed! They set the trends and warmed up the team chairs long before the new generation came along to replace them. Many a talented cricketers fell by the wayside while these greats minted money with failing scores on the pitch.
While newcomers like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have embraced this role, they owe a huge debt of gratitude to these legends.
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma: Modern Day Seat Seekers
Fast forward a few decades, and we find ourselves in an era where Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have taken over the throne of seat warmers. Following the well-trodden path laid down by their predecessors, they ensure the stand-by benches are for talented newcomers. After all, who wouldn’t want to carry the legacy of cricketing stalwarts?
Setting Trends and Warming Those Benches
Just like wearing matching pajamas to a sleepover, being a seat warmer is now trending among Indian cricket stars. With Tendulkar and Gavaskar as their role models, it’s safe to say Kohli and Sharma have found their seat of comfort. But remember, it isn’t merely about keeping the spot warm; it’s about crafting your own off-pitch legacy while occasionally throwing in a witty one-liner or two from the sidelines!
Selectors are sold out
That we have a legacy of a string of stars being selected long after their use-by dates originates in the power circles in the rotten BCCI infested with politicians and wannabe politicians like Gambhir.
