There was never a moment where Perry's shoulders dropped. I noticed this one moment when Harman hit a 4 off the last ball of 17th over. Perry was not able to stop that and she didn't lie down and think about it. Immediately sprang up and ran with the ball motivating others.

ODI cricket is real cricket. That's why it brings people back in form. It allows you to improve on your game as you play it while also wanting you to play attacking cricket. Pinnacle of the sport.

Having a Raina in CSK was as important as having a Dhoni in CSK. He was the perfect foil to Dhoni. A trusted lieutenant who never did anything other than play for the team. And he transferred the same characteristics to when he played for the national team.
Kohli himself reveals and thanks Suresh Raina for giving him chances in the emerging trophy tournament. Raina joined this tournament in mid-race. Raina asked Kohli to open & Kohli scored 120 then later Dilip saw him and gave him chances! Underrated bond ❤️

Thing is, I'd have taken years to recover from this. But that is why Kohli is who he is - barely 50 days from this game, he plays 2 high quality knocks - one in which it needs a peach to get him and the other in which he runs out of partners and has to randomly swing. Legend.

This is a top point. This "no trophy" argument that has come up since IPL began and India started losing in knockouts is a bane for the cricket discourse. A test series away from home (or at home itself) is difficult to win. To pick 20 wickets in 5 days is a task.

In all honesty, Rohit deserves respect. Being a captain this late in his career, he has sacrificed his position (without the sort of pressure I'd expect it to happen). He is putting the team ahead of self. I don't agree with it but the TM does and that is ultimately important.

India's best test period came with a Delhi player captaining the side, being the best batsman, a Chennai player being the best spinner in the world, pacers from UP, Gujarat and a few other states being the best in the country, batters from Saurashtra, TN, etc.,.
Breaking: and Mumbai have won the Ranji Trophy for a remarkable 42nd time without Rohit, Sarfaraz or Jaiswal. Well done to @ajinkyarahane88 and the team. Remember when Mumbai cricket is strong, Indian cricket is in good hands. Just as an aside: my late father played 13 seasons.
