When i think of leg spin i used to think that Shane Warne would emerge to be the all time best. But in the recent past i started to dwell more in the lives of leggies from the past. This led to one name to look in more details which was S. P. Gupte. I started reading articles about this great man and now it really make me convinced that Shane Warne is not the best of all times.
I just marvelled at the descriptions being made about Gupte. His loop, the whisk of the spin in the air and to top all of that , the incredible googly. His googly must have been tremendous to say the least, as many greats have marvelled at it. No better certification there can be , when Sir Sobers say him to be the best.
It's a real pitty that the BCCI as usual treated this great so badly , that being disappointed he left the country. But that would hardly matter as his character was clean as was evident when many other players stood in his support.
I wish i could have seen him bowl and would have felt really satisfied at my hunger for LEG SPIN.
