Continuing from my earlier blog about cricket now i want to tell you that one day one of our friend Kartik proposed that we should fix a match between father's and son's.All of us welcomed his idea but very few of us were optimistic that father's will agree for this sort of match.But he said that he will talk to his father who was ex-first class cricketer.His father not only agreed for the match but also pushed his friends who were good cricketers to play and slowly some of other friends father's agreed and formed their team.It was decided to play the match on sunday in all white uniform.Not only that father's made arrangements for snacks for all during innings break.Although son's team won the match but father's team gave us a tough fight.
Ashok Jagdale & Sanjay Jagdale who was BCCI secretary till recently were living in E-2 sector of bhopal which was in neighbourhood.They both used to play for state and my eldest brother got the chance to play with them in one of the club matches.
Another feature of bhopal was annual cricket tournament organised by Ex-Indian Captain Mansur Ali Khan Patuadi who has a Palace in bhopal.This tournament was organised at Tinshed Stadium and most of the Indian first class cricketer used to participate in it.We used to go to stadium to watch the tournament and we saw Sunil Gavasker,Gundappa Wishwanath,Karsan Ghavrey,Brajesh Patel,Pataudi himself,Bedi and so on.But most excitement used to happen when Sharmila Tagore ( Wife of Pataudi ) used to arrive at the stadium since she was one of the top heroine of hindi films of her time. Sunil Gavasker was the top opening batsmen of the world and he was the centre of attraction.We used to have lot of fun in the stadium.
