It cannot be a mere coincidence that Indian cricket’s two most successful captains are born just a day apart. It would have been the perfect fairy tale had Ganguly was born on July 7th and Dhoni a day later instead of it being the other way around.

It failed to foresee, and therefore mitigate, the adverse consequences of its sudden decision. While extensions of the lockdown were rightly preceded by consultations with the State governments, keeping the initiation of the lockdown a secret from all the stakeholders defied logic. In addition to the distress, the fact that this exodus of migrants to their homes would cause the infection to spread to the rural hinterland was not contemplated.
