Bangladesh has also impressed Arvind Mediratta in the World Cup this time.
Arvind Mediratta, CEO of Metro Cash & Carry, won't be heading to London for the World Cup final, but think India and Australia will lock horns.
Favourite World Cup memory “In the 1983 World Cup, India was struggling against Zimbabwe, having lost five wickets for just 17 runs. Kapil Dev then played a spectacular knock of 175. As captain, he played a responsible and calculated innings, to provide the team with much-needed stability. What looked like a lost cause soon turned out to be a great win.”
Headed to London “Unfortunately, I won’t be able to make it this year. I recently returned from a vacation in the US, and I need to travel to Europe again for work.”
Predictions for World Cup 2019 “I think it will be India vs Australia in the final. Bangladesh has also impressed me in the World Cup this time.” Arvind Mediratta thinks Jasprit Bumrah (in pic) is calm even under pressure. Favourite cricket possession “An autographed cricket bat from the West Indies cricket team. In 2006, Chris Gayle, Brian Lara, Dwayne Bravo and the entire 14-member squad who had come to India to play the ICC Champions Trophy, autographed it for me. I also have a KFC bucket specially autographed by Brian Lara.”
Favourite cricketer “Jasprit Bumrah. We generally praise the batsmen, but Bumrah is a fine bowler, probably one of the best in the world currently. His in-swinging yorkers are a treat to watch. The best thing about him is that he is always calm even under pressure, and does not throw any temper tantrums. He always delivers when required.”
