Name: Venkataraman Krishnan
Message: Paaji: As I read this article, I had tears in my eyes (Just like I had tears reading about your 4 sixes at the Lords of Mr. Hemmings - which we followed on the radio)... Wow!! What an appropriate (and in my mind, the only) choice for this award. Our generation had the privilege of seeing you emerge, establish, lead and prosper during the course of which you provided us with the best of entertainment. Be it that magnificent century you hit in the Tied Test OR the great catch you took to dismiss Sir Viv in the 1983 final OR even that unbelievable spell you bowled in a one-dayer against NZ at Perth, you gave it your best and made the hair rise on our skins. Thanks, Paaji for everything that you've done for us. Looking back, in my mind, there is no one who comes even a close 2nd in terms of achievement in Indian Cricket. You were the best!!!!! Regards, Venkat (Obviously, an ardent admirer)

Name: P.Unnikrishnan
Message: Kapil Dev is the deserving winner of this award for what he has given to Indian cricket - the World Cup. No prize is bigger than world cup and it is under him that India had won it. He was always the match winner for India and used to perform when the chips were down, the most important aspect of cricket. Tendulkar and Gavaskar are also great players but Kapil will always be step above them.

I personally feel that this award will go a long way in giving him personal peace and strength after the so called match fixing, and i hope kapil dev will once again associate his name with the world of cricket since his experience and talent will be boon to the aspiring cricketers and that will do the country proud nothing else!!!!
