Excuse me while I kiss the dirt

by Gaurav Sethi


If Queen E was on standby while Younis Khan celebrated his tons, he’d be a much knighted man.

Younis, son of the soil that he is, kneels, kisses the earth after each ton.

Speaking to a childhood buddy, it was learnt that even as a kid, after reaching a milestone, Younis would kiss the ground.

On one such occasion, playing in a swampy park in Peshawar, Younis hit a big six, won the game, and knelt down to kiss the kechar – he rose, his face caked with sludge, and that manic smile.

Not to different from that kid in Slumdog Millionaire. Everybody was yucked out.

Rumour has it, he was much feared since then, and even known as Yuck-ounis Khan.
