There is a story in the Mahabharata when Arjuna and Duryodhana call on Lord Krishna before the war. The Lord asks them to choose between His services and His army’s might. Arjuna chooses the Lord. Duryodhana feels that Arjuna was a fool not to use the army’s might. He goes for the Lord’s army. We know what happened in the war!
I was reminded of this twice during this week. From what I follow in a very limited manner, Viru’s Delhi Daredevils and Warne’s Rajasthan Royals are doing very well in the IPL and look to be the frontrunners for the title. Most teams packed themselves with batsmen, since the format suits batsmen. However, Viru and his management went for their Lord Krishna, Glenn McGrath. It’s been a treat to see the great man come and bowl, and take wickets. The Rajasthan Royals, again, had no star batsman, but found their Lord Krishna in Shane Warne. The master has been dishing out T20’s version of the Bhagavad Geeta! I saw some tactical gems during their match yesterday.
On 1st June, 2008, we will all know whether the Lord is winning or His army!
