Collecting Stumps After Victory
Before the LED Stumps and Zing Bails Era, it was a common sight for the fans to see MS walk out of the ground with stumps in his hand after a victory. In an interview given to BCCI.tv, he joked that it was a part of his post retirement plan.
He said, “That’s my retirement plan. The good thing is that I do collect a lot of stumps, but the bad one is I don’t put a mark as to which match they were from. So, after I retire I’ll watch the videos of all my matches, look closely at the sponsors’ logos on the stumps, and figure out which match a stump belongs to. It will be my post-cricket pass time!”.
