When Punit Bisht entered the dressing room on the third day of Delhi's Ranji Trophy match against Karnataka back in 2006, there was deafening silence all round and sitting in a corner was a 17-year-old Virat Kohli, eyes all welled up. Bisht, then all of 19, was taken aback by the sight. The look on Kohli's face was enough to tell him that India's future captain, who was still a boy at that time, was trying to battle a storm inside.

India finished as the bronze medallists in Dhaka. The team won three of its four matches in South Africa, beating the hosts and France comprehensively, but the 2-5 defeat in the second match against France fueled these words: "I will not accept Team India to be mishandled and mismanaged, such incompetence will have to make way," Batra wrote in the letter.
