Today, the Indian cricket team will, in all probability, break their 22-year jinx of not winning a Test series in Sri Lanka. Their last Test series win there was in 1993 when a certain Vinod Kambli starred for India with two centuries in the series.

Kambli qualifies to be a well sought-after expert for the various television channels to talk about that 1993 conquest and how that team, which he was a key member of, compares with the current side led by Virat Kohli. Instead, Kambli is in the news for allegedly, along with his wife Andrea, torturing and locking up their domestic help. Yesterday, this newspaper quoted the domestic help as saying that Kambli threatened to beat her up in public when she refused to fetch alcohol for him.
