Just watched the Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals match on telly. A few things prior to the match came to my attention.

Ganguly is played on by Akhtar over the next ball, which is by no means short.
Context #2 Sachin and Gambhir […]
Sachin Tendulkar has refused to captain India’s Test side for reasons that are unknown to mortals as of yet.
