Every other day a story surfaces that makes the Indian cricket fans relive the legendary actions of MS Dhoni. Now, Sunil Gavaskar comes forward with a revelation that shows the humble side of India’s former skipper.
The Indian cricket management system has a method of rewarding players with business class seats. Usually, the players who perform well in one match get to travel in the business class. This is when flying to the next destination during home season. However, the other members such as TV and cable operators always take the domestic seats.
“The flight also carries the technical TV crew who have to rig the cables for the next game. There are limited seats in business class and the captains, coaches and managers of the teams get these.It is here that those Indian players, who have done well in their previous game, get to sit there as a reward rather than the economy class behind.“
