Jammu and Kashmir head coach Ajay Sharma knows that his side’s entry into its maiden Ranji Trophy final is bigger than his cricketing “rebirth”, and to describe that momentous occasion the former India all-rounder used an imagery from Bollywood classic Sholay.
“In Sholay, everybody had a role — Thakur, Jai, Veeru, the Jailor, even Hariram Naai (barber). Nobody knew the film would become such a big hit, but every character played his part perfectly,” Sharma told after J&K defeated Bengal by six wickets to enter the title round here on Wednesday.
“Our team is like Sholay. There is no superstar. Everybody knows his role and plays it to perfection. That’s why we are here,” added Sharma, who joined J&K in September 2022.
