Mango after Tendulkar, Coriander after Yuvi?

Who says Tendulkars don’t grow on trees?

Thanks to a Lucknow farmer, Tendulkars will not only grow on trees but can also be sliced, juiced and even pickled without inviting homicide charges!

Spending long hours under a scorching Sun can do strange things to farmers and Doosra here puts together a list of 7 cricketers who run the immediate risk of rendering their names to certain floras à la Tendulkar.

    Govind, resisted the temptation of inserting Steve 'Coconut' Bucknor here, brown exterior but white inside:)
    BTW, once again your comment tempts me to come up with an extended list incorporating your inputs. Great job, especially Viru!
