Logical Reasoning concepts

1. Credibility - Source and content of article (The Times of India)

2. Lexical Definition - Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award, India's highest sporting honor.
3. Duty Theory - That time our school was new and I used to search for kids.
4. Consequentialism(Utilitarianism) - My expectation is that the forthcoming 50-over World Cup, Rohit should win it for India on his own
ability.
5. Aesthetic Reasoning - The way Rohit bowled, I was impressed and thought that we should take this kid to our school.
6. Fallacy of Division - There was one camp organized in Borivali, and there were some matches organized. I had put my school's team
and Rohit's team came into the final and it was a 10 over game on a cement wicket, we won that game. (Many matches to final match)
7. Syntactic Ambiguity - There was one camp organized in Borivali, and there were some matches organized.
8. Deductive Argument - Rohit Sharma's childhood coach Dinesh Lad expects nothing less than a World Cup-winning performance from
his protégé in the 2023 edition at home following his stellar show in the 50-over showpiece event last year. (Expecting good
performance in the 2023 edition because of his good performances in past- general to specific)
9. Sound and Valid Argument -
P1: I asked the (school) director to waive off his fees and Rohit was the first kid for whom I did that.
P2: They admitted him.
Conclusion: If at that time, this granted free ship wouldn't have happened, you couldn't have seen Rohit Sharma," Lad recalled.
10. Moral Relativism - According to Lad, Rohit's uncle was unable to afford the school's fees and it was on his insistence that the now
India's limited overs vice-captain was given free admission into the school. (Free Admission - is fair to him but not to many other
underprivileged talented children just because they didn't get a chance to showcase their talent)
Rhetorical concepts and Fallacies
1. Hyperbole - Stellar show, World-cup winning performance, boy can reach the sky
2. Euphemism - protégé, free ship
3. Innuendo - I should not say this but if a poor boy has talent and he justifies it and has luck, then that boy can reach the
sky and a living example of it is Rohit Sharma. (Last sentence gives us a hint that Rohit Sharma is a poor but talented boy.)
4. Argument from pity - According to Lad, Rohit's uncle was unable to afford the school's fees and it was on his insistence
that the now India's limited overs vice-captain was given free admission into the school.
5. Down player - If at that time, this granted free ship wouldn't have happened, you couldn't have seen Rohit Sharma," Lad
recalled.
6. Wishful thinking - I asked the (school) director to waive off his fees and Rohit was the first kid for whom I did that, at that
time I didn't think that he would play for India. (As he was pleased to imagine that a good player like Rohit Sharma will be
playing for his school team.)
7. Dysphemism - Poor Boy (Can be changed with underprivileged)
8. Rationalization - Rohit Sharma's childhood coach Dinesh Lad expects nothing less than a World Cup-winning
performance from his protégé in the 2023 edition at home following his stellar show in the 50-over showpiece event last
year, when he smashed five hundreds but India lost in the semifinals. (Maybe the real reason behind his expectation is
because he was his childhood coach and not because of his good performance.)
9. Apple Polishing - There was one camp organized in Borivali, and there were some matches organized. I had put my
school's team and Rohit's team came into the final and it was a 10 over game on a cement wicket, we won that game.
