Light epithet
On the bench were two people who should have been wondering why they were not on the field - Cheteshwar Pujara and Ganapathi Vignesh.
Pujara has been scoring runs by the bucket-loads in all kinds of domestic competitions and has unquestionably better batting pedigree than either Laxmi Ratan Shukla or Rohan Gavaskar. He has been spoken of as the man to replace Rahul Dravid at the Number 3 spot in Test matches - which is not a light epithet.
I know "epithet" means "an adjective used to describe a person" but I wonder what it means here particularly "light epithet".
