I think when we take a step back and stop being a little too smarky for our own good?
We may learn to appreciate this ending in time. John Cena. The definition of “Never Give Up”. Realizing he couldn’t fight more. That he had no more to give. That he had to give up…his time was up.
It’s poetic in hindsight.
The appreciation for KL Rahul and Gill is already understated, but what Washington Sundar and Jadeja did deserves even more credit. They literally pulled India out of a crisis when the match was slipping away. Under immense pressure, they stood tall and ensured the team didn’t lose its grip. Just an outstanding, clutch display of batting when it mattered most. 👏
So you’re telling me that MS won the IPL in 2010, went to SA and won the CLT20 in the same year, then went to the world cup to win it for the nation after 28 years and came back to the IPL to defend the title in 2011.
The greatest peak for a cricketer & captain ever?
Can't believe the guy's retiring from his favourite format without reaching any of those dream numbers everyone thought he'll end up with. No 10k runs, no 50+ average. Still an amazing test career to say the least. Congratulations Kohli Saab ❤️
