While today’s India v Pakistan blockbuster at the Narendra Modi Stadium here is a high-pressure game for each and every player involved, spare a thought for one man who has been in the hot seat for the last few months, throughout the build-up of this massive fixture. Gujarat Cricket Association Secretary Anil Patel has a plush air-conditioned office in the stadium complex here, but he has hardly set foot in it for some time now as he has been extremely busy putting together the last few pieces of the massive Indo-Pak puzzle at hand.
Busy schedule
“There has been so much to do, right from catering to ticketing, security arrangements to other infrastructure-related work. Even 24 hours are not enough in a day. It’s not only for the India and Pakistan players, this is the biggest match of my life too,” Patel told mid-day during a brief interaction on match-eve while he was on the move and on the phone, speaking to vendors and stadium officials.
