As chairman of the national selection committee, Sandeep Patil has a lot on his plate. A day ahead of Indian team selection for the upcoming Asia Cup T20 tournament and the subsequent ICC World Twenty20 championship, mid-day photographer Atul Kamble caught chief selector Sandeep Patil deep in thought at Mumbai's Brabourne Stadium.

The Indian team's performance in the just concluded T20 series in Australia where they swept the three-match series 3-0 may have given him some relief. But that's the past and the future is unknown. After all, the team he and his co-selectors pick will carry with them the hopes and aspirations of an entire nation and that's no small responsibility.
