Remembering our own champions in Australia

The Hindu  

A famous son of Chennai recently bid adieu to international cricket under Australian skies. It left the cricketing fraternity stunned and as the legend flew back home, it is time to recall a stage when another famous son of Chennai had his share of the sun in Australia. Blend of fire and ice Having made his national debut in 1981 and then being the top scorer in the 1983 World Cup final at Lord’s, the Chennai marauder was firming up his position in the Indian ranks. This was limited overs batting exhibited in cricket’s longest format, but Srikkanth was like that, a precursor to the Virender Sehwags and Rohit Sharmas of the modern era. For a player who hated the ‘lottu’ and preferred the ‘thooki adi’ method, Srikkanth’s effort strengthened his position in Tests and he stretched his career till the 1991-92 tour of Australia.
