For the majority of his life Davindar Uppal has cheered for the Men in Blue. However, come Saturday, the man raised in Punjab will be donning the yellow jersey. He has a good reason too, as his son Param Uppal will be playing for Australia against the country of his birth. "Yes, I will be supporting Australia," Uppal Sr said with a smile and a sense of pride. Davindar, a high court lawyer in Chandigarh, migrated to Sydney nearly 15 years ago with his wife Jaspreet and Param, who was only four then. Right from a young age Param would accompany Davindar on the couch and both would watch cricket for hours.
