The Story in Brief
On his birth anniversary, the Mumbai Cricket Association installed a commemorative board for the Dilip Sardesai Gate at Wankhede Stadium. MCA Apex Council members and Sardesai's family attended. Sardesai was a key batter in India's historic 1971 Test series win in West Indies.
Separately, the Esports Federation of India announced the contingents for the BRICS Esports Championship in Moscow (September 9-15) and the Global Esports Games in Los Angeles. Teams were chosen via the National Esports Championships, covering titles like TEKKEN 8, Counter-Strike 2 and Clash Royale. ESFI said the events will help prepare for the Asian Games.
The Indian Opinion
Cricket legends deserve tributes, but the coverage gap with esports remains large. ESFI's push to ready athletes for the Asian Games warrants equal attention. A concrete yardstick: compare the media airtime given to Sardesai's ceremony with the esports team announcement. Does India's sporting establishment still favour cricket disproportionately?
