For heaven's sake

Dear Mahi,

A few years back when you set your foot on a cricket pitch against the Pakis in India and scored that incredible century and later went on to become the world's number one batsman, you were not just the best player but an answer to a billion people's prayer.You continued to enthral audiences with your Federer style stroke play on a cricket pitch and you had avergaes that could have been viewed as ordinary by Mike Hussey.With TVS Victor and Shampoos taking care of your financial needs and a Hummer to carry you around the town, Aapka Life tho ban hi gaya...But suddenly the harsh reality that international cricketers need to play both home and away matches caught up with you.
I thought only shcool kids get home sick, but I must say every inning you played in foreign soil felt like a message that you were sending across to the selectors that you wanted to get back home and drink two litres of milk every day.
And were you working in some corporate before you stormed into the international cricket scene. When a match can be won with a simple run a ball chase, you prefer to cork the pressure and show your heroics in a do or die situation (this scenario operates on home soil only). You would make any manager proud. What I really appreciate about you is the fact that you seem to be turning a blind eye to the danger engufling you. You have another wicket keeper batsman who is playing purely as a batsman in the same side, and all set to displace you from the Test squad.
Arise awake but score not unless you play in India is a philosphy that is worth a rethink.... Think about it.. if you can....
Regards,
A cricket fan whose time has frozen since the 1983 WC!
