'But Is He Your Captain?' A Question Navjot Singh Sidhu Did Not Answer ndtv.com

Amarinder Singh was emphatic today that newly-acquired Congressman Navjot Singh Sidhu is a prized member of his team. Though the party has not yet officially announced that Mr Singh, 74, is its Chief Ministerial candidate, he is the face of the campaign. When asked by NDTV where that leaves Mr Sidhu, a former cricketer, Captain quipped, "I am his wicket-keeper, I'll catch him in the slips" to suggest an elder-statesman like bond. Mr Sidhu, seated next to him in a red tie, turban and shirt, smiled and clasped him awkwardly around the shoulders, a pale version of the Punjabi jhappi.
