Great artists leave behind a work of art that transcends time and shapes their legacy. For Da Vinci, it’s the Mona Lisa. For Beethoven, it’s his Fifth Symphony. For Aaron Sorkin, The Social Network (2010) remains the pièce de résistance in his delectable oeuvre.

Talent is hard to define and even harder to measure; indeed, there is no objective way to do so. Is Kane Williamson’s poetic artistry, his ability to make a dab down to third man seem like it’s the greatest shot in the sport, talent? Are Steven Smith’s superhuman hand-eye coordination and his single-handed assault on Test Cricket’s batting records an outcome of his talent? What of Cheteshwar Pujara’s herculean resolve? Is his ability to plant himself firmly at the crease and seemingly say to the bowler “No, you move,” talent?
