Arrey, I was driving back from Mulshi last week, my old truck radio crackling through Lata Mangeshkar's "Ae, Kai Kaisi," and I saw a group of village girls playing cricket on a dry riverbed with a taped ball. One of them hit a cover drive so clean it could make Kohli jealous. Watching them, I thought about my own drip irrigation – I spend lakhs on imported tubing because we don't make good enough ones here. If a poor girl in the village can time a ball like that, imagine what she could do with proper coaching, proper pads, a proper future. We keep delaying that investment, but the delay has a cost too – it's the cost of her wasted youth and our lost champion.
