Sadagoppan made his entry into the test arena in the famed Indo-Pak test at Chennai.He played the great Wasim and Waqar with great poise and elegance and seemed to have satisfied India’s quest for an opener pre-Sehwag.He went on to make better strides.He as a human too is a genuine soft and calm guy.I had the opportunity of meeting him in a cricket academy run by his brother.This guy was blamed for his stiff foot.Footwork was zero with ramesh nut even Sehwag doesnt move his foot does he.He has served the Tamilnadu team well and got out of the Indian side courtesy a back injury and suddenly the selectors seemed to have dev eloped a selective amnesia.They foprgot that this was a guy who had lended stability all along and was dumped.He was at a peak when the injury occured.He also played the 1999 Worldcup as a stopgap for Tendulkar but was included in the side evenb after Sachin’s return.His cover drives are the best and he would have been a perfect foil for Viru.It is irony that one of India’s greatest openers Srikkanth had also hailed from the same city as Ramesh and this untapped genius has been left in the dark.We just hope that he is back in the side surely he would be better than a Suresh Raina or a JP Yadav as he hasthe experience and good fielding to back him up.
