Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, while referring to a lesson of the Prime Minister, said that every two-three weeks, one should sit with his team and ask what went well and what did not go well. He said that taking honest feedback on our shortcomings and improving them is the way forward. The Prime Minister had asked all the ministers in a cabinet meeting to sit with their team regularly and ask them what went right in the last few weeks and what should be improved. He said, “Brother, just tell me, what went right in the last two-three weeks?” Team members may say that everything is going well. But along with this, it is also important to ask, “What did not go right? What changes should I make? Where did I fall short? ‘Cricket is not a sprint, it is a marathon’. Cricket is not a sprint, but a marathon. Like life, there are ups and downs, difficulties and challenges in cricket too. But if passion and faith in the goal remains, the path to success opens. He said that if there is a flame of passion in the heart and faith in the goal, then players have played their fair share in the history of cricket. Remembering Srinath’s fast and aggressive bowling, he also praised Srinath’s temperament and commitment as an ICC match referee. During the conversation, MPCA President Jyotiraditya Scindia said that when his achievements are discussed at home, he says, ‘Son, you have achieved a lot in a year, but I do not give credit for this to myself alone.’
