Vishal Patel, an MBA graduate from Baroda, has emerged Super Selector of the February contest with an astounding SuperScore of 4097.

However, he will enjoy his dream-come-true prize – an exclusive trip to the West Indies to witness the first test match to be played between Indian and the West Indies at Guyana from April 11 to 15 with mixed feelings. "Frankly speaking, the winning of the contest has been overshadowed by the violence in Gujarat. The locality, where I stay, had never experienced communal tension as is prevailing right now. The overall confidence of the people here has been shattered and you find people not sleeping at night. We too have opened our business after six days but the presence around it is only 40 per cent,” Vishal Patel says with a lump in his throat.

Vishal had put in three teams for the Super Selector’s February contest. Vishal Patel’s Dream Team which won him the Grand Prize and a place among the cricket experts included : Younis Khan, Yousuf Youhana Chris Cairns, Ridley Jacobs, Shoaib Akhtar, Shane Bond (who was substituted by Darren Gough), Mervyn Dillon ( who was substituted by Anil Kumble) Carl Hooper (who was replaced by Sachin Tendulkar), Andre Adams, Makhaya Ntini and Wavell Hinds.
