In mid-'80s the murmurs were that the maidans were witnessing the arrival of the next big thing from Mumbai since Sunil Gavaskar.
Among the ardent fans were Sachin and Vinod Kambli, who would often spend hours watching Gurav bat in the nets or were asked to observe his stroke-play by their coach. "Sachin loved my cut and hook shot. He also took a few tips regarding how to go about playing with as much power as me," says Gurav.

"Sachin was always special. He had all the shots and a great temperament. He also was blessed in a way, everything happened at the right time for him. Most importantly, he had a great background," says Gurav."Background is everything," he adds, after a pause.

yeah...so tragic it is - this background that he mentions would have at least mitigated some of the torture, if not his ascendancy in cricket..

saying that after a pause is very gladwell-like, so succint, almost terse, but speaks volumes
