Sunil Gavaskar: The 1983 World Cup team has lost a family member

The Hindu  

Yashpal Sharma’s sudden passing has been a total shock. For one of the fittest members of the 1983 World Cup-winning team to pass away so early just re-emphasises that life is uncertain and none of us know when our number will be up. RELATED| Today’s cricket followers would perhaps ask how many hundreds he has scored in the one-day format, but not many of them would know that those early days of limited-overs cricket, was played with a red ball which moved especially in England right till the end of the allotted overs. Keshav won two Olympic gold medals as a member of the Indian hockey team and was also a top badminton player. It is never fair to compare different eras because the playing rules, the equipment all make a huge difference as was explained in part earlier with the difference between the red ball, the limited-overs game with no field or bouncer-per-over restrictions and the white ball one with those in place.
