Incredible piece ! Connecting purple rain with rishab brain .. how did you come up with this ? A shower thought ?

Thank you, Sandeep! Haha, wasn't a shower thought unfortunately. I reached there through a far more boring route 😂

To me, Pant is completely unique in how he approaches batting. You can't box him. Which reminds me of Prince. And every time I think of or listen to Prince now, I am reminded of *that* performance of Purple Rain. So..

I love your similes (that's what they're called right?). How do you "show not tell" so beautifully, each time every time? You're the Prince of Sports Writing boss. And I mean the artist. Keep on at it. Now I know that the word awe-some OGed here, after your writing.

I am not even too fond of cricket, but I read it just to enjoy your writing Sarthak.

You're too kind, Rakhi :)
