Geet Sethi. The name spells magic and the man is the magician who wields the wad like a genius. More than his conquests and the billiards world titles, he stands apart when it comes to sporting icons. He is the perfect role-model for generations to come. A meeting with him will be enlightening, to say the least.
However, the greatness of Geet Sethi is that unlike cricketers, he carries no aura of super stardom. He does not have the arrogance that one finds even in a less-than-mediocre Ranji trophy player.
He is a man for all seasons. Unfortunately, it's time he gradually bows out with his head held high. He has achieved everything that is there in cue sport. It's time he comes out his snooker obsession. A Test player need not necessarily be a good ODI player.
Geet Sethi is like Sunil Gavaskar, elegant in the more time consuming version. That is class in everywhere which way one looks at his magnificent career.
