The night Vikram Sethi refused to lose

Chennai, February 1994. The follow-on had been enforced and the crowd had begun to leave.\n\nSethi came in at 38 for 3 and was still there when the umpires pulled stumps on the fifth evening. He hit four boundaries in eleven hours. Teammates remember him refusing water twice because he did not want to break rhythm.\n\nThe match was drawn. The innings is still shown to Under-19 batting groups as an argument for patience.
