    Instant fame, money spoiling Indian cricketers: Pataudi
    View quote in context »
    Pataudi was, however, quick to add that it depends on the individual cricketer how he adjusts to the fame and fortune earned from the game. "I think all this depends on the individuals. Some are carried away by the fame and fortune and some are not. Take the example of Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid. They remain as committed as when they started. There are one or two players whom I don't wish to name who have been affected and lost out. They have failed to adjust this new fame and fortune" Pataudi told Karan Thapar in the 'Devil's Advocate' programme on CNN-IBN channel. Full Article at CricBuzz.com

Instant fame, money spoiling Indian cricketers: Pataudi
  1. They don't know what to do with the kind of attention, kind of fame and fortune they have suddenly gathered in a very short span of time especially when they are not use to it. It (the attention) is bound to effect their concentration as they become a little flustered by all this

  2. It (money and fame) has certainly distracted them, and therefore they are not committed to the extent they should be. The name and fame they are getting has spoilt them and temptation is much more now than it was in my time

  3. I suspect yes. Don't be so adoring and that too so quickly.

  4. It has a lot to do with outside pressure, especially media visibility or the other kind of temptations. Some of them are not that bad but then the players are not used to that, especially instant money and fame

  5. When we talk about earning money and fame so early, BCCI should look into this angle and have the kind of symposium to teach people how to deal with this early fame and fortune and visibility. That's the role of BCCI. If parents can't do it, schools can't do it, BCCI should do it

  6. When you are young and from a humble background and you suddenly ends up making a lot of money, how do you deal with such kind of a situation? It's not easy for a young Indian cricketer
