HANGZHOU: A few days ago at the Pingfeng cricket field inside the Zhejiang University of Technology campus, Jun Yu, a student from Beijing, was in the stands holding a placard that read 'Mandhana the Goddess', as the Indian women's cricket team won the Asian Games gold medal.
A few days later, while the Indian men's cricket team trained in the nets, a volunteer from the Games' medical staff was over the moon for a chance to get close to some of India's biggest stars.
The Indian media was waiting for an interaction with coach VVS Laxman and captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, when Fu Qinghui showed an autograph on his shirt. It read 'Ruturaj'.
