While the just concluded two-test series between India and the West Indies will be remembered more for the legendary Sachin Tendulkar making his last appearances, some positive aspects still emerged for Indian cricket during this period. In an earlier article, which this author posted on these pages, mention was made on the heroics of Rohit Sharma and Mohammed Shami in their debut first test at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata. People, who had gathered at Mumbai’s Wankhede stadium to bid adieu to Sachin Tendulkar, saw some vintage batting by the maestro on his way to scoring 74, his last half century score in test matches. But completely drowned in the chants and adulation for the great Tendulakar, was the under-reported involvement of Shami and Sharma in the afternoon of the second day of the Mumbai test.
