-
Sachin Tendulkar: He has not said anything about retiring but any such possible talks from him can send shock-waves the size of Japanese tsunami in India. The Little Master's resolution must be to keep batting, bowling and entertaining a billion throughout 2012 although his dream of a World Cup may have come true a year earlier. And while at it, can just resolve to get the Bharat Ratna.
-
Harbhajan and Yuvraj Singh: They have flashy cars, Bollywood starlets and aging bodies. Injuries have replaced lost form and it would perhaps be best to resolve to get married. Their names may have been put together here but there are no implications. Only for convenience's sake.
-
Simon Katich: Moving on should be high on this Australian cricketer's mind. There can be life beyond cricket but life in cricket after launching a verbal volley against the national captain cannot be hunky dory. Even if he returns and even if he delivers, the locker-room environment will not be a pleasant enough.
-
Novak Djokovic: It was an amazing 2011. The resolution at the top can only be to stay at the top. The Serb will do well to resolve to, however, keep his antics slightly in check. Which means no wearing wigs, no dancing on the court, no karaoke videos and no flirting. Oh, well, maybe that would just be Nadal's resolution on Djoko's behalf.
-
Mahesh Bhupathi: Will do well to resolve to not dab into Bollywood ever again. He may have an actress for a wife but just as Lara Dutta is not expected to defeat Wozniacki on the tennis court, Bhupathi (in reserved estimation, based on his debut production) will not win the national awards in cinema.
-
Jose Mourinho: "Barca cannot play! Barca cannot play! Barca cannot play!" The Real Madrid coach, in all probabilities, will look to strengthen his attack on Pep Guardiola's side despite possibly being defeated in every encounter in 2012 as well. Luck, we tell you..baah!
-
Ryan Giggs: Being faithful is not that big a sin. The United star would be better of not apeing Heath Ledger from Casanova, not when he isn't and especially not with his brother's wife. Then again, we are not passing moral judgements. It is just an estimation.
