Dilip Vengsarkar had a big role in two of Indian cricket’s history-altering decisions. It was his input, along with a host of others’, that led to Sachin Tendulkar’s selection into the Mumbai Ranji Trophy team back in 1988.
Vengsarkar also chaired the selection committee when M.S. Dhoni was chosen as India’s skipper for the inaugural World T20 in 2007. On Tuesday at the launch of the book ‘The Lords of Wankhede‘ here, the India great recalled both incidents.
