The goings-ons in cricket keep getting more interesting by the day
With regard to the article No panic from Virat Kohli as he leads India into winner-takes-all ODI clash against Australia (January 19): this was a good read. After India's first loss in Mumbai against Australia, the team made up in the second match at Rajkot. All prominent players, except Shreyas Iyer, were ready to face the final in my city, Bengaluru.
The dynamics of the team keep getting more interesting with each season. Us fans watch keenly for developments in the cricket world.
And its good to see that Indian captain Virat Kohli has eradicated the panic of the first match defeat and has infused the team with confidence.

It almost killed me, twice. A 20 per cent mortality rate.

A sermon where you call someone a clown and talk about slapping people in the face is odd.
