I stopped watching cricket eons ego, don't know about half the references you mention here, and yet you had me hooked throughout and I could feel the words. Kudos for that. Great piece!

I kept thinking about the way he was dismissed in the last two innings. I would also ascribe some blame to something that is going between his ears. Call me a conspiracy theorist but ever since the man stood-up for Shami, things haven’t been the same. I agree that he needs a break and will not get it off the public eye, but there is something that the board is doing too.

Of course I would love to be proven wrong when he comes back all guns blazing and leaves a word or two for those who want to see his back for good. Till then tough, the wait and remaking will be painful, even for someone like me who didn’t really enjoy Kohli’s work till he said those words about Sachin. After winning the world cup.

I have started following sport more only because I read you and Prem to make sense of my feelings. Never stop writing Sarthak. Thank you for this.
