Unheralded and relatively obscure Goa cricketer who is in the autumn of his cricketing career is all set to begin his second innings as a politician to reckon with........
This 35 year old left arm orthodox spinner and more than handy lower order left handed batsman who has been plying his trade for the none too fancied Goa Ranji Trophy team for well over a decade now has publicly announced his intention of beginning a new chapter in his life as a politician par excellence........
Jakati who also turned out in the currently suspended Chennai Super Kings colours between 2008-13; Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2014-15 and last but not the least newly launched Gujarat Lions franchise in the 2016 edition of the IPL formally joined the newbie Goa Forward party on July 24; 2016........
"Cricket is my entire life and I have wholeheartedly given 15 odd years of my life to the glorious game that has given me my identity; however the time is now ripe for me to contribute my mite towards taking my beloved Goa forward and making politics a gentleman's first choice rather than a scoundrel's first or then chosen refuge" Jakati quipped........
Welcoming Jakati into the party fold; party bigwig cum spokesperson Durgadas Kamath candidly admitted that Jakati's entry into the party would enable it to bowl a googly or two and thereby annex or capture the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party's wicket in the forthcoming 2017 assembly elections.........
Jakati's entry into the party will also force and coerce all like minded people who want to see their dearer than life Goa occupy it's due place under the sun and make a beeline towards this reinvented and revamped version of Arvind Kejtiwal's Aam Aadmi Party that was launched or then formed in January 2016 and ever since has been making all the right noises that resonate in the hearts and souls of the average and disenchanted middle class Goan.........
Here's wishing Shadab Jakati a long; successful; defining and satisfying political career and hoping and praying that he more than achieves the goals that he has set for himself........
