Statues all around: Why does no one stand with Bishan Singh Bedi?
Why did no Indian cricketer stand with Bedi against DDCA? The answer, perhaps, lies in how the BCCI deals with people who ask uncomfortable questions.

Bishan Singh Bedi stands alone, just like the newly-installed statue of Arun Jaitley at the Feroze Shah Kotla ground. The difference, though, is in the people who stand around them.
When the statue was unveiled at the Kotla, Union Home Minister Amit Shah was present along with members of Arun Jaitley’s family, Union Ministers Hardeep Singh Puri and Anurag Thakur, BCCI president Sourav Ganguly and secretary Jay Shah, and former India and Delhi captains Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir. And that is just to name a few. There were plenty of hanger-ons too.
