In conversation - More than just cricket!!
When I think of Raghu , the word that comes to mind is understated . For good reason. He’s not one to charge in or confront you—he prefers to let his cricket do the talking, which, conveniently, it does most of the time. That efficiency is kind of his thing. From the days we used to chide him for morning walks and treks, Raghu has consistently done what works for him, ignoring all other expert opinions. He remains our best off-side cricketer by some distance, and a few of his aerial shots deserve a pause button. Add his deceptively cerebral seam-up bowling, and what he brings to the team quietly becomes a very large bonus. What stood out in my chat with him was his honesty and the quality of his suggestions. The reassuring part is that we’re already implementing most of them—clearly, he’s been right for a while. Enjoy the conversation with the ever-insightful Raghu. 1.
