Watched more cricket last night than I have in years haha. Generational stuff.

Thanks Sarthak. I don't follow cricket at all: your writing has become my window into the sport. The way you capture rhythm, the human emotions, and what drives these athletes – it makes me feel connected to something I'd otherwise never understand. Really grateful for that

Thank you so much, Aditi :) So glad these essays connect! Means a lot.

Another piece which simply highlights the brilliance of your cricket writing, Sarthak. Flawless and magnificent, similar to Jemi and Harman yesterday. I would also use this as an opportunity to pen a heartfelt apology towards the team for some of my harsh criticism over the past month, and hope they go all the way on Sunday🤞
