Here catcalls (whistles) are anything but signs of disapproval and the emotions are enjoyed with just a sprinkle of pepper from the humidity gods. Then there are the mood setters: the heroes that first put bums on seats and then take them off. And there have been that have done that here - from the Gavaskars and the Viswanaths to the Tendulkars and the Sehwags. The crowd-player bond is strong. And it needed bonds of that kind to fill up Chepauk on Tuesday (April 10) in the face of … [Read more...] about Chepauk’s special night comes alive with new finishing act
