Like I said earlier - don’t watch the sport, but you bring it to life for me. Will go and watch the highlights of Razaullah’s game tonight.

Thank you, Binu :) Always too kind

I'm intrigued that 85% of the piece is about Razaullah's bowling and only 15% about his batting, which was the actual cinematic part of the whole thing

Thank you for reading, Hasan. I structured it that way because, to me, the more thrilling bit is watching a fast bowler from Pakistan breathe life into a lost cause. Fast bowling is the spine of my story, and hence, the emphasis. :)

Sarthak, Thank you.

Nice essay. The history of the SUBCONTINENT is littered with the corpses of fast bowling prodigies.
