Unconventional
genius
Wisden, which selected
Virender Sehwag as Leading Player of 2008, has described him as a genius
who has confounded conventional wisdom and whose daring makes him one of
the most exciting openers in the world.
M. S.
Unnikrishnan takes a look at the highs and lows of his
cricketing career
THOUGH
his style makes the purists frown, Virender Sehwag has redefined the
dynamics of batting with his unorthodox stroke play. The "Nawab of
Najafgarh", as Sehwag is popularly known, remains unfazed by all
the criticism; as he believes that so long as his batting serves the
cause of the team, the end justifies the means. Sehwag’s
unconventional
batting may appear dangerous in the opener’s slot as his early exit
can cause a virtual catastrophe for the batting lineup. |

‘Fashion weeks must have their own speciality’
Sreya
Basu chats up Wendell Rodricks, who showcased his latest collection Mondrian Minimalist at the
recent Kolkata Fashion Week
What is Mondrian Minimalism
This collection is my
tribute to Dutch painter Pieter Cornelis Mondrian and legendary designer
Yves Saint Laurent. Mondrian’s works were based on his theosophy
studies and his unique geometric abstractions wherein all curved lines
were eliminated. As a part of the Cubist movement in Paris, he dominated
his canvas with squares, lines, blocks of primary colours and black
grids. He created oppositions of vertical and horizontal and oppositions
of dimensions.
