Like Yo Mahesh, Joginder Sharma too was a strapping lad of 24 when he bowled that life changing 20th over. As in Jogi’s case, Yo too was entrusted the ball by MSD. And even though the outcome was quite different from September 24, 2007, Yo knew at once – there was a karmic connection that he shared with Jogi.
What should he do? It was late at night, but he had to make that one phone call a prisoner is allowed – he decided to call Joginder Sharma (and not Misbah)
Phone rings on and on, nobody answers. Yo tries again, still no answer. Yo paces the tiny deluxe room (much smaller than the suites his seniors snore in) and decides to call once more.
This time the phone is answered
Joginder Sharma (tired): H-e-l-l-o?
Yo Mahesh: Hello, Hello, Jogi Paaji, hello?
Joginder Sharma: S-p-e-a-k-i-n-g
Yo Mahesh: Jogi Paaji, Yo here! Yo Mahesh…
Joginder Sharma: O-H!
Yo Mahesh: I tried and tried calling nobody was picking still I tried calling and calling were you sleeping?
Joginder Sharma (shyly) No no..I was in toilet…watching you bowl that last over gave me the shits…
Yo Mahesh: Brought back memories of 2007?
Joginder Sharma: The moment MS threw you the ball, my stomach went…not again…
Yo Mahesh (restless) so sorry, y’kno after today…after bowling that last over…I don’t know how to handle it…you won the match…I lost it…and you became an instant hero…
Joginder Sharma (matter of fact): You’re lucky you didn’t win the match. I won the match and did not play another T20 for India…
(long silence on either side)
