What does it say about your writing that it felt more intimate than watching the game itself?

Laxman’s coming of age was that test. I always thought he handled a cricket bat like a badminton racquet. Steering it at just the last moment.

Thank you, Arvind. :) Very kind.

Laxman and Harbhajan, both. Their careers truly took off from there. To an extent, even Dravid's.
