Talks about how the Indian cricketers are under constant pressure from the media and the fans. Tendulkar, during his courtship days, apparently had to disguise himself to get away with his then-fiancee.
Ganguly adds that the challenge for the young 'uns like Irfan Pathan and Parthiv Patel is not the game itself but all the attention that comes with it.
