Dark glasses, flowery bag in hand, Indian cricket's chief selector Sandeep Patil is a familiar sight in Dadar, shopping for vegetables and meat, poultry and seafood. This writer spotted him when he was on one of his rounds in the market. So what's the former India batsman like while shopping?
Selection call: Chief of the Indian Cricket team selection committee, Sandeep Patil, loves to shop for his veggies, fish and meats. He is a familiar sight at Citylight market where he shops everyday. "I am a non-vegetarian for 365 days of the year," he told a colleague during his visit yesterday. "The fisherwomen here like me because I don't argue. I give them the money; for instance R300, and tell them to give me as much as that amount will fetch," he said, before he proceeded to buy four slices of surmai. Pics/Suresh KK
Turns out, the man is as selective about what items to purchase for his home as he is about picking cricketers to represent the country. "I am very particular about my food. I know exactly what I want and go for it," he says.
