Tarlochan Bawa's proudest moment came when he stood on the podium at the 1948 London Olympics after his goal played a crucial part in India's gold-winning game against Great Britain. 74 years later, his grandson Raj Angad Bawa tormented England with a five-wicket haul in a U-19 World Cup final in Antigua on Saturday. He claimed 5/31 in nine overs to break the spine of the English team and set up the game for India U-19s.
Tarlochan passed away when Raj Angad was too young to retain the memories of the time spent with his grandfather. His parents ensured that the legacy of Tarlochan was etched in Raj's mind.
