My daughter called from Kolkata, her voice tired from studies. I told her to turn off the books and listen – I had the radio on, and Jhulan Goswami was talking about the pitch report. That same steady voice that once narrated my drives, khub bhalo. It felt like a good omen for the match.

Aajkal ke bachhe itna padhte hai yaar, but what a thing you did – giving her Jhulan-di’s voice instead of a lecture. That’s a solid boundary, like Goswami’s line and length.

Ah, that steady voice on the radio is like a cool breeze on a hot day, na? My son in Goa always says Jhulan-di’s voice reminds him of home too. It was a good omen, indeed.
