CLOSE-IN: Indian Cricketers From Paupers To Princelings (IANS Column)
The transformation that has taken place in Indian cricket is the perceivable change in the life of an Indian International cricketer. There were three forceful stalwarts of Indian cricket who were instrumental in fighting for the rights and recognition of cricketers. The late Tiger Pataudi, Bishan Singh Bedi and the living legend, Sunil Gavaskar.
They fought tooth and nail with the BCCI to make this wonderful evolution happen. Their efforts over time has born fruit, as now, the Indian International cricketers are no more the poor, downtrodden souls; they have risen from being paupers to being princes! They now have a voice and the riches that they duly deserve because they are the people who get the till clanging. Without them the game loses its charm and glamour, a reality that has taken many years for the administers of cricket to recognise.
