It was great catching up with one of India’s greatest cricketer Mr. Dilip Vengsarkar who spoke his heart out on a one to one Zoom Chat.
Anis Sajan’s question to him was how he conquered Lord`s by being the only overseas batsman to score three triple hundred at the Home of Cricket. He started on by saying that his first innings at Lord`s was duck and when he went on to bat in the second innings he was very nervous as he did not want to get a pair. He scored a marvelous hundred in the second innings and helped India save that test match.
