The columnist Ramachandra Guha writes about X's cricketing interests in the following paragraph.

The only evidence of X’s interest in cricket that I know of is contained in a newspaper essay of 1958 by the Gujarati journalist Harish Booch. Booch had just met one of the X’s classmates at Alfred High School, Rajkot. This man, Ratilal Ghelabhai Mehta, remembered X as “a dashing cricketer” who “evinced a keen interest in the game as a school student”. He was, it seems, “good both at batting and bowling”, and had an uncanny understanding of the game’s uncertainties as well. Mehta spoke of a match they had watched together as schoolboys, played between Rajkot city and Rajkot cantonment. Apparently, “at a crucial moment in the match, as if through intuition, X said a particular player would be out and hey presto, that batsman was really out!”
