He was very, very upset about it. It was dear to him and he was extremely proud to wear it. People always ask me the reason for Rahul being a "normal" person, despite the fame and the celebrity circus. I think it all began with his middle-class upbringing, of being taught to believe in fundamental values like humility and perspective.
He has also had some very old, solid friendships that have kept him rooted. He is fond of reading, as many know, and has a great sense of and interest in history of all kinds - of the game he plays and also of the lives of some of the world's greatest men.
When he started his cricket career, he had a coach, Keki Tarapore, who probably taught him to be a good human being along with being a good cricketer. All of this has given Rahul a deep understanding of what exactly was important about his being in cricket and what was not.
It can only come from a real love for the game. When I began to understand the kind of politics there are in the game, he only said one thing: that this game has given me so much in life that I will never be bitter.
There is so much to be thankful for, no matter what else happens, that never goes away. Cricket has made Rahul who he is, and I can say that he was able to get the absolute maximum out of his abilities as an international cricketer. What next for him? I know he likes his routine and he's in a good zone when he is in his routine, so we will have to create one at home for him.
Getting the groceries could be part of that. A cup of tea in the morning for his wife would be a lovely bonus, I would think, particularly now that he doesn't have to take off for the gym or for training at the KSCA at the crack of dawn. More seriously, though, I think he will spend time relaxing and reading to let it all sink in a bit.
He has loved music and wants to learn how to play the guitar. Then perhaps he would like to find something that fills in at least some of the place that cricket occupied in his life, something challenging and cerebral. Rahul has lived his dream and he thinks it's time to move on. Retirement will mean a big shift in his life, of not have training or team-mates around him, or the chance to compete against the best.
The family, though, is delighted to have him back. Matches Schedule Points Table Report. Western Australia. Schedule Points Table. Schedule Report. Schedule Points Table Videos. Sri Lanka A.
