Yes, gentle reader, that nice, polite, exceedingly well-mannered Keshav Maharaj you see and hear being interviewed on a screen near you is almost obsessively ambitious and competitive.
He is not what he seems.
Get close to a South Africa training session and you will see and hear someone else — a Maharaj who, in the best way, takes charge and barks instructions, cautionary advice and insightful knowledge at his teammates.
If you didn’t know better you would think he was the captain as well as the coach.
He is the epitome of the senior player and respected as such.
