It has been an incredible journey, but I have decided to retire from all cricket. Ever since the back yard matches with my older brothers, I have played the game with pure enjoyment and unbridled enthusiasm. Now, at the age of 37, that flame no longer burns so brightly.

Kohli’s leadership this test match allowed young guns like Axar, Rishabh and Washie to play with freedom and dominate the game. It takes a special leader to elevate other players around them through body language and passion when their personal performance has been down.

We were talking about Shaheen Afridi’s lack of rhythm in that last game. I guess there’s absolutely nothing wrong with him😄as I mentioned, he was probably saving his best for the big moment. Big task ahead for India. Not impossible to defend though.

England most definitely have the batting line up to chase this down, they’ve proven that on a number of occasions, but I feel India’s got this one. Just the thought of an India/Pakistan final makes my heart beat faster. Hardik & Ashwin to take the match winning poles imo.

Controversy! Little grey area once again. Did Pant get bat on that or not? Problem is when the ball passes the bat at exactly the same time a batter hits his pad snicko will pick up the noise. But how sure are we he hit it? I’ve always worried about this and here it happens at a.
