Shiv Sunder Das offered executive post in SAIL
13 June 2001
Shiv Sunder Das, whose sterling performance helped India break the 15-
year-old jinx of not being able to win a Test match outside the sub
continent, has been offered an executive post in the Steel Authority
of India Limited (SAIL) by the Indian Steel Minister Braja Kishore
Tripathy.
Praising Das for his determination to rise as a great player, the
Minister said in a press statement, "Das has brought laurels to the
entire nation and established himself as an eminent player."
The stocky opener from Orissa had hit an unbeaten 82 in the second
innings besides contributing a cameo knock of 30 in the first and
taking three catches in the match to help India register a
comprehensive eight-wicket win over Zimbabwe in the first of the two
Tests against hosts Zimbabwe
