Rediff does have some fine reporters who can capture the spirit of the moment and relay it to its ever increasing audience. "Paes served out the final set 6-1 and settled into the arms of an ecstatic team huddle. He later wrapped the Indian flag around him and took a victory lap that sent the audience in frenzy." Guys like Leander, Saurav and Baichung keep on taking sports to the next and higher stage in thought, word and deeds.
Any game played with the right spirit is enjoyable to the players, spectators, national associations and the countries involved. The rivalry ends the moment the game is through. That is what Leander Paes and his counterpart from Pakistan displayed. I wish our sportsmen had emulated their example. Of course, an overwhelming majority of them do.
