Navjot Singh Sidhu story is as fascinating as a bollywood flick with different colour shades. He made a poor start to the international career with just 19 runs on debut against the West Indies at Ahmedabad in 1983. Above all, he was heavily criticized for his batting style and was dubbed as a "Strokeless Wonder" by a noted Indian Cricket Columnist.
Sidhu took this criticism personally as this article made his father cry. He worked hard on his game and returned with a vengeancee in 1987 World Cup held in India. Sidhu scored four fifties in a row in the most popular cricket tournament.
