Bishan Singh Bedi: Audacious, Outspoken, Controversial But A Spinner With A Big Heart
After an embarrassing defeat to Australia in the Rothmans Cup in New Zealand in 1990, the manager of the Indian cricket team had famously declared to the media: “The entire team should be dumped into the Pacific.” That was Bishan Singh Bedi, never afraid to speak his mind, never one to mince words and always ready to call a spade a spade.
It was his aura as one of the greatest left-arm spinners the game had seen, which gave Bedi the audacity to be upfront and undiplomatic at times. His words never had the loop and spin that Bedi put in his bowling. At the core of his heart, Bishan Singh Bedi was always anti-establishment and fought with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) administrators for his teammates and fellow cricketers.
