Justin Langer's Dharavi experience: When luxury met with penury in Mumbai
Lucknow Super Giants head coach Justin Langer has revealed that he was left humbled during this year's IPL after visiting his team's physiotherapist Rajesh Chandrashekhar's one-room dwelling in Mumbai's Dharavi slums where he witnessed the complete antithesis of the "extreme luxury" he has experienced in life.
LSG failed to make the playoffs after a mixed run in the league stage of the IPL.
"After a life of living what I would now define as extreme luxury, I was humbled like never before seeing how other human beings live their day-to-day lives," Langer said of his experience in a post for 'The Nightly'.
It all started with Chandrashekhar's insistence on giving Langer a haircut.
"At first, I thought nothing of the invitation, but as the days moved into weeks, RC kept asking me if I needed a haircut.
"Eventually, I relented to his offer and within minutes he was knocking on my door, manned with clippers, scissors, and a spray bottle full of water," he recalled.
