The first thought that springs to mind as one sits down to express oneself on the debate on the Indian cricket team’s Most Valuable Player is simple: Should there be a debate at all? Is it not a given that Indian cricket’s little big man Sachin Tendulkar wears that crown with comfort, style, modesty and deservingly?
In the first place, connoisseurs and coaches alike would frown at the concept of a most valuable player in cricket since it is a team game and all players (and reserves as well as support staff) must contribute if a side is to do well. In their books, all players are equally valuable, with no one player being rated higher than the others.
