NEW DELHI: Yashpal Sharma’s teammates called him jovial, modest, helpful and humble, but he stood out for his guts and grit, on and off the pitch.
Along with Chetan Chauhan, the late cricketer, Sharma had come to the rescue of three Sikh players of the North Zone team during a nerve-racking train journey in the middle of the 1984 riots. After asking Navjot Sidhu, Yograj Singh and Rajinder Ghai to hide in the compartment, Yashpal and Chauhan confronted an agitated mob and made sure they couldn’t harm the three.
