This is a lovely initiative by Sportstar, our fav sports magazine, where they tour around the country holding conclaves and inviting sports personalities and administrators to speak about the state of sport. I was invited to speak on why cricket in Hyderabad was at crossroads and my co-panelists were Arshad Ayub and Vijay Mohan Raj, former teammates of mine from the winning Ranji Trophy team. The program had several sporting icons - Gagan Narang, Mithali Raj, Sindhu, Prannoy, Gopichand to name a few.

But apart from that, there was a galaxy of sporting talent on the stage. It was good meeting my friend Vijay Lokapalli who moderated our session, Das, VVS (who invited me), Vijay Kumar, Mr Durga Prasad and others.
Thanks Sportstar for all the good times and good memories. And for this opportunity to be on your panel. Enjoyed it.
