BENGALURU: Bishan Singh Bedi, cricketer par excellence, a fearless leader on and off the field. He was a man who brought the team together, in victory and defeat.
In an interview with TOI a few years ago, batting stalwart GR Viswanath had said on team bonding, "In Test cricket, we used to meet in the bar (after the day's play). Bishan (Singh Bedi) was the person who brought us together. We would meet at 7pm and discuss what happened that day, we wouldn't go deep into what might happen the next day. Tomorrow happens, but you don't sit on it. Everyone, irrespective of whether they drank or not, came. Nobody questioned."
