Sunil Gavaskar, Team India Legend:
“For a long time in cricketing history, England v India, was a bigger rivalry than any other. We all wanted to beat England in England – that was the main thing.”
David Gower, Former England skipper:
“In my playing days India had some great players – Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar and a whole host of names that add to the magic of these contests. The game is not just in white, it is in all sorts of colours. It is around the world, it is fascinating, it is glamourous. For people like me, it is the men in white, the Architects in White who are the absolute heroes.”
Nick Knight, Former England Opener:
“Playing against India, you felt you were not just playing against eleven players, you were playing against a nation. The support put a little bit of pressure on you as a player and you realize how iconic these games and these series were.”
Chetan Sharma, Former India bowler:
“Architects in White revisits the Test series against in England. Lord’s is where I took a 5-wicket haul which played a big role in India registering their first-ever Test win at the venue. This was the revival of Chetan Sharma as this had come on the back of the Javed Miandad episode in Sharjah where I was hit for a six leading to India’s loss.”
Lawrence Booth, Editor, Wisden:
“India have not won many times in England – only 9 wins over the 90 years. But each of them has been special and each of them has put a brick in the story of coming to terms with overseas conditions, shaken off the tag of a team who cannot play anywhere other than dusty, spinner pitches of India.”
Watch Architects in White at 7:00 PM (IST) daily, from June 16 to June 19, 2022, on SONY TEN 1 (English), SONY TEN 3 (Hindi) & SONY TEN 4 (Tamil & Telugu) channels.
