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

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🤞
