Singh’s Legacy
India’s modern economic and political trajectory owes much to the quiet brilliance and unwavering integrity of Manmohan Singh, who has passed away at the age of 92.
The World number one, India overwhelmed Afghanistan in the inaugural Test match on Friday as they thrashed the visitors by an innings and 262 runs at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, Karnataka.
However, more than the match, host India’s sporting gesture towards Afghanistan’s team became the talk of the town. On Friday, Indian skipper Ajinkya Rahane in an amazing show of sportsmanship invited the visitors to pose with them with the trophy at the end of the match.
