At the release of former Indian Cricketer Mohinder Amarnath’s memoir ‘Fearless’.

[@muthiahlakshmanan5104]

Jimmy, Kapil and others of 1983 were jubliant... Jimmy never showed sign of any fear till i remember him seeing the pitch.. very profes.,, i am glad for this momment and his book. I wish him the best and god bless him and his family. Having Jaishankar Ji to honor is just awesome

I was there in Chepauk, Madras to see Jimmy Mohinder Amarnath make his debut! This was the Christmas 1969 test in Madras. Long before the Boxing Day test began as an annual tradition at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. I was in my ninth standard. I was there for the whole test - D Stand. The stands were built with casuarina poles and wooden planks. It is Jimmy Mohinder Amarnath's debut test; wholly memorable for his two wickets that sent back Stackpole and Chappell.

Mohinder Amaranth is a great example for perseverance and determination. He neutralised challenges from fast bowlers at the time when many would prefer to be at the non strikers end. Dr. Jaishankar’s lessons from the game are commendable.

Jimmy Amarnath, the great cricketer India has ever produced.

[@seshancg]

Very nice speech . I remember hearing live radio commentary of Mohinder taking out Keith stockpile and Ian Chappell!! And then he disappeared for many years, only to make a comeback ! I wish the photographer had shared Mohinder’s & Kapil Dev’s facial reactions , instead of focussing only on Mr Jaishankar . Kudos to him for doing this to Mohinder & showing his different interest. !

[@muthuswamythirumurthy2340]

One point that needs to highlighted.Facing Holding n Thompson, our batsmen of that era includin Mohinder Amarnath did not have helmet,thigh pad n elbow gaurd for their protection.Yet they faced them n played well.Thank You Jimmy for the grit n determination you displayed.Our country won.

[@vasumurti]

Eloquent speech! 🙏🙏🙏

[@ncn141953]

What stands out most to me about Jimmy Amarnath is how he fearlessly faced the furious and fast West Indies bowlers like Michael Holding and Malcolm Marshal and consistently scored throughout the tour. He was the highest run scorer with 598 runs followed by Clive Loyd with 407 runs.

Pillars of motivation and legends, listening to commentry in winter nights, started following cricket with Hall, legendary ones.

[@kalyanp5504]

Jimmy, you were always understated hero of the Indian cricket. You gave much more than you got back. You were truly inspirational for any youngster wanting a role model. Thank you Jimmy. You made your father and India proud as an all rounder cricketer and always putting the team & game before self. You showed true grit and determination many top class cricketers could be proud of. Thank you Jimmy.

[@VrichikaA]

Wonderful and interesting speech ! Apt and catchy analogies ! Jimmy do deserve your presence at the launch as you both are made of same "steel". The board and selectors played havoc with his careers and he had to prove over and over again to get back in the team, "bunch of jokers" as Jimmy rightly called, but I honestly pray for you to play a long innings for the country.

[@sankartk300]

Jimmy is a very good dedicated team spirited player. All cricket livers never forgets his performance in 1983 final match

[@saisarathivasan2612]

Sir, brilliant one, which is a surprise from you about cricket & foreign policy. Mohinder one of the greatest cricketers, considering his position & status of cricket in that era. But, he didn't get what he deserved!

[@rameshvajge8076]

Role Model for Youngsters, how to play Fast bowler fearlessly. Jimmy Bhai aapki tandurust Rahane ki aadat sabko lag hate. Stay Healthy.👏👏🙏🙏

[@pmanoj4]

Very True, Winning World cup in 83 was like winning World football cup by our today's football team. We won many cups after 83 and may win many in future...but 83 will always remain best of them

[@sumitkaushik5229]

Dr Sahab.. we adore u❤

[@simplyns953]

Great speech 🎉

[@gopal_kolathu1960]

So many memories you’ve stirred, Anna… I was at Feroze Shah Kotla ground with my brother, your classmate in AFCS, for that 1969 test with Bill Lawry’s Australia and remember the utter disappointment of seeing GR Viswanath get out on duck. And I remember well that murderous 1976 series in the West Indies, and the Kingston Test where Mohinder Amarnath and the late Anshuman Gaekwad were the only two to stand tall amidst the wreckage of the Indian Batting lineup. That was the first series where there was live commentary over short wave from the Windies, if I recall. We were glued to the radio set in the wee hours… And who can forget 1983. Kudos to Mohinder Amarnath, the man overlooked repeatedly, yet invented, reinvented and brought himself back again and again, the rock around whom the Indian team built its maiden World Cup triumph 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️🇮🇳🇮🇳

Canot forget 1983wc विक्टरी and jimmy's Role,

[@kapilsharma-dw7ec]

Very good speech Sir.

[@rangaranganathan1066]

I recall his long and excellent batting in 40+ C in Delhi in Ranji Final against Karnataka, think he was on the field all 6 days...

[@kapilsharma-dw7ec]

Sir how you relate things such as in the speech cricket and foreign policy by quoting Pakistan very nicely. You draw learning from everything. Lot of things we can learn from you.

[@hariharansankaran9012]

Whay a speech!

[@nagarajugaddam4616]

True patriot like Doval ,Modi.

[@moko8870]

Jimmy is a gentleman

[@SyedAli-nk4ys]

Mohindra Amarnath has the guts to speak the truth which is why he called indian selectors as bunch of jokers for omitting him during selections. He was selected even after making that statement. That was his greatness He was a medium pacer who often was known for deceptive pace. He was known for breaking partnership. A new batsmen will take time to understand his pace. He has solid technique as a batsmen and a fine fielder. He is definately a jewel of indian cricket.

People who played for themselves ? Let’s start with biggest bluff and selfish guy - Sunil Manohar Gavaskar!

[@samuelsgeorge271]

Mohinder was surely a legend but Jai Shakar no - just an invite to the event to speak - Still don't know why...May be needed for some favours 😂

[@nes1950]

Mohinder was the most brainy and thinking cricketer and should have been made the chief coach of Indian team but BCCI and politics are inseparable

[@keithfernandes7350]

Being the sons of Lala Amarnath, both Mohinder and brother Surinder were below par cricketers but like India, politics chooses and disposes like the foreign policy

[@anantharao1188]

For you to make such a comment on Mohinder Amarnath, it will be useful if you could name a single achievement of yours that can be publicly verified... Let others judge where you stand...
