After all, his strike rate was around 110 in the middle overs versus spin in last year’s IPL.

Shahid Hashmi “Yeah, I would love to (play a Test series against Pakistan at a neutral venue). It would be a great contest.” These are the most inspiring words that the affable India captain Rohit Sharma said in a podcast. The words made my day. Rohit’s desire infused a new life, a new vigour and a new determination in my ageing bones, fingers and mind.
