All for money

It's raining cricketers at non-cricket events. Everyone’s got to keep endorsement commitments. Irfan and Dhoni walked the runway for the launch of Reebok's autumn-winter collection a few days back. Sehwag was teeing at the DLF golf course at the TaylorMade Invitational Skins challenge. Cricket? What’s that? Even cricketers need a break from losing one match game after the other.
Ask Sehwag. “Golf is a nice game and one needs a better level of concentration. I am planning to take up the sport as it is very relaxing. The
best part is that nobody disturbs you on the golf course. I will start playing it when I retire from cricket."
Sehwag took some tips from retired cricketer and now golfer Kapil Dev. "Paaji spoke about maintaining balance and gave some tips on putting. There is less pressure while playing golf. In cricket, pressure gets the better of us,” Sehwag told us. “Youngsters should take up golf and make India proud like Jeev did.” Ironically, the day Jeev Milkha Singh won the Volvo Masters in Spain, India was kicked out of the Champions Trophy.
As the Nawab of Najafgarh was going gaga over golf, but his teammates Dhoni and Pathan were talking cricket in Bengal. When in Kolkata, do as Kolkatans do: Chant Dada is Da Biggest Kriketaar India has Ebher sheen. "He is an excellent cricketer," both the boys squealed in delight, saying it’s for the selectors to decide on his comeback. That’s what we call two shweet boys in Salt Lake.
But Pathan was grilled by the unforgiving cricket fans. "I am running well and getting my rhythm back," is his solution for his own bowling problems. He is confident about his batting: "I am ready to bat any position." Including the ramp? "I am not very comfortable with it but when your sponsors ask you to do it, you have to." Why don’t sponsors ask him to perform on the pitch?
