CLOSE-IN: Duleep And Irani Trophy Have Very Little Value To Talk About In Indian Cricket (IANS Column)
The two most prestigious tournaments of the year for an Indian cricketer were the Duleep Trophy and the Irani Trophy. The latter was even more significant, as consistent and valuable performances in it are what got one into the Rest of India side to play the Ranji Trophy champions. One was then, just a step away from attaining the dream of playing for the country.
The lines of the song by Whitney Houston, "Give me just one moment in time" one could say were so relevant for each player playing in it. Just one eye catching performance in the game was all that it took to leave a telling mark in the minds of the national selectors. One was, thereafter, very much in the reckoning for an Indian cap. For the established players, it gave them an opportunity to establish their credentials and view the next in line.
