India’s literally near overwhelming iceberg driven by chief selector Ajith Agarkar and Head Coach Gautam Gambir that threatened to tear up its very iconic greats Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, the fabric to taking Indian cricket to the next level, meeting their waterloo by the very stroke of cricket’s providence hit out of the window by one single shot at the enemy by that great marvelling coming together in match winning heroics of a Sharma near run a ball murderous unfinished 121 and Kohli riding a bugging calamity as the gallery screamed for his blood, the record 50 century superstar smashed to smithereens by a 74 run magnificence in a slap in the face unfinished 168 third wicket hurrah in the third ODI versus Australia, was justice repaid against cruelty.
Indeed, works of the bat rightfully responded to shredding what was the unkindest cut all out to simply bury all those mighty conquests by two servants to the game which even shook the very length and breadth of cricket with greats from elsewhere condemning the beastly treatment of attempts to simply bundle out a twosome into the cricket grave in the Indian think tanks nakedly apparent shocking hasty blind eyed forced unceremonious last rites act to silencing India’a greatest modern magicians with the bat. That a large section of former Indian scribes too joined the anti Kohli-Sharma bandwagon was appalling to say the least.
That cricket found true relevance of fair play with the very man scourged rose from that gloom of thrown out of the captaincy with his bat walking the walk joined in a bonding jewel in that Sharma-Kohli silencing of the detractors was after all apt sweet savage justice.
