Farokh Engineer performed a different role at the Cricket Club of India last evening. Departing from the regular lecture concept of the annual function held in memory of the deceased India batsman Dilip Sardesai, the erstwhile wicketkeeper-batsman virtually wore the robe of an after-dinner speaker, who regaled his audience.
Engineer stood up and spoke for a bit before sitting down for a Q and A session with ex-Mumbai captain Shishir Hattangadi. Both Podarites albeit of a different era, their conversations revolved a bit on the Matunga East college where Engineer admitted he received various concessions.
