Tributes flew thick and fast for Dara Pochkhanawalla during a condolence meeting in honour of the former journalist, umpire and cricket administrator organised by the Sports Journalists’ Association of Mumbai (SJAM) on Friday.

Pochkhanawalla, who passed away through health related complications at 73, on August 18, was remembered at the Wankhede Stadium’s PD Hall as a conscientious journalist, efficient administrator and a stern but fair gold medal-winning umpire, who also coached a bit.
