A rare Indian double international
Partab Ramchand, in the Indian Express, profiles the late MJ Gopalan, one of India's few double internationals, on his hundredth birth anniversary. He represented India in cricket and hockey.
In 1936, he was on the horns of a dilemma having to choose between the cricket tour of England and a sure gold medal with the hockey team at the Berlin Olympics. Gopalan decided on the former and with the benefit of hindsight probably made the wrong decision for while India predictably won the gold medal at Berlin the cricket tour was an unhappy one marred by controversies.
