Ashish Nehra's Extreme Measures:
 |
"hehe...you got the wrong guy... I'm not this Nehra guy you keep calling me" |
The 20th Over (starring Yo Mahesh & Joginder Sharma)
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)
Dravid & Dada
It’s late, PWI have beaten an already defeated KXIP. The players return to the hotel, Dada pacing up and down in his hotel room, and before he knows what he’s done, he’s already dialed D for Dravid.
Dravid (sleepily): Helloh…
Sourav: Rahul…are you awake…I just had to call..you’re awake right? We beat Punjab tonight and you guys beat…
Dravid (rubbing his eyes) KKR
Sourav: Yeah, it’s just like you said in the Bradman oration…what was that…Like a few creaking…
Dravid: ..terminators…we’re back…
Sourav: Gotta say, this ain’t easy but the key is to open the innings…
Dravid: Totally..
Sourav: bat 20 balls…
Dravid: at run a ball…
Sourav: In the powerplays
Dravid: couple of boundaries…
Sourav: don’t bother about the singles
Dravid: Only get run-out…
Sourav: Y’kno Rahul it’s cool to be captain again…
Dravid: yeah..and for a change I’m not your deputy
Sourav: Wadaya think of Viru and Gauti?
(In chorus): They-can’t-think!
Sourav: Gauti bowled Abdulla for only 2 overs today…
Dravid: Yeah, I was there…
Sourav: why would he do that?
Dravid: Think he could finish the match a lot earlier….
Sourav: ha…anything on Sachin’s finger…
