RD composes a melody in Mumbai

By John Cheeran
Fifty thousand passionate Indians rallied around Team India at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai as RD composed a melody; slow, steady and soulful, to put those carping critics to sleep with their fantasies.
This indeed is a victory to savour for India, Rahul Dravid and Greg Chappell; carved out against South Africa, really a worthy and nasty rivals in the backdrop of Calcutta defeat.
The enduring image from this absorbing battle came after Mohammad Kaif hit the winning runs to complete India’s five-wicket win. Skipper Rahul Dravid, unbeaten on 78, raising his willow to pay Team India’s respects to the galleries, to those Indians who offered them unstinting support. That image will stay with Indian fans for a lifetime.
May be there is a lesson there for those who heckle through the best part of their lives.
