Cable TV hit India in the 1990s and I devoured sports like a hungry lion.
My loyalties were soon to be decided on the back of 24/7 ‘live’ coverage of global sports.
A colleague, half Welsh, aligned me with Manchester United.
A basketball mate suggested not to look beyond the Lakers.
And then, there was Jonah Lomu.
Rugby is to Indians what kabaddi is to the Kiwis; until the 1995 World Cup happened.
I watched Jonah Lomu.
He converted a small-town boy in India into a rugby fan, but much more, into a Lomu fan.
Forever.
Adios, Jonah Lomu.
