Q Moment of IPL Match #22

I'd speak of Suresh Raina but NC already has.

I'd speak of Kamran Khan but Homer already has.

So I'll speak of MS Dhoni's underwear.

You heard that right. His underwear.

Didn't you see it?

I'm sure the world did.

He pulled down his yellow pajamas and there it was! Thank God for that.

Skins.

That was the color.

Briefs.

Homer's moment of the Day Game 22

Two moments actually.

The first was right after this incident

Kamran Khan to Raina, (no ball) 1 run, that's an overstep! Raina taps it wide of the bowler for a single and Kamran dives and hurts his ankle

Once the physio had done his bit, Kamran Khan was on his feet - and did what every galli cricketer worth his two paisa would do - shadow bowl off a shortened run, knee pain be damned.

The second was when the game ended - MS Dhoni was in animated conversation with Kamran Khan as the two teams shook hands..

Was nice to see.

If that were the question posed to me, then this is what I would have replied (the most heroic thing I have ever done in my life as an 18 year old college kid).

I would never have imagined earning a couple of lakhs as my first pay cheque or playing along with a legend called Shane Keith Warne, leave alone me winning his confidence so much that I bowl the Super Over.

Let's allow this young man, Kamran Khan's all around the ground* feat B the moment of the match.

* For the overs he bowled, the wickets and the catch he took
