Zubin Mehta: I watch cricket all the time

Zubin Mehta: I watch cricket all the time

The conductor, 88, on a visit to India, has been talking about the things he misses about the country.

‘I watch cricket all the time. Although I don’t have a favourite, I have of course backed India whenever possible,” he said. Thanks to the 24-hour cricket channel Willow in Los Angeles, Zubin manages to catch up on live and past matches.

‘They broadcast live and past matches. And I watch whenever I can. You know I am very busy also, so I can’t just sit and watch. But sometimes I watch in the middle of the night because of the time difference, I upset my wife a lot.

‘I miss mangoes. Hapus, alphonso. They are not allowed to be sent so easily. Sometimes my friends try. But the customs keep them until they are overripe. That I miss, cricket I watch. Friends I am in touch with…

‘I can’t do without chillies. I grew up with it, that’s my food. There is no such thing as getting along. I have spicy food wherever I want. I grow my own chillies at home. ‘
