In my house, my husband watches sports, and I read your posts. And every now and then, I leave him gobsmacked with my insightful comments. Thanks Sarthak for helping me win in the marriage games 😁.

Beautiful article. Especially loved those three four paragraphs written about young, prodigious talent.

Great writing, Sarthak. So damn consistent, man. Too good.

Yamal is something else, no? I only hope he stays injury free.

Thank you, Rohan!

Lamine is just ridiculous. The stuff he pulled against Benfica and Atletico before the international break shouldn't be normal for a 17-year-old xD

Top tier stuff, Sarthak!

That bit about Manchester United felt personal :)

So many memorable bits in this piece.

This made me laugh 'primary qualification was emerging from the correct womb' I can't watch Indian movies these days those dopes masquerading as actors. And they (the dudes) all have that stupid lion's mane haircut that makes me want to take a weed whacker to it.

Rants aside, wonderful article on the IPL.

Thank you, Arvind.

You're spot on. That hairstyle, and their general presence, needs to hit the bottom of a dustbin pronto.
