In his introduction to Test Cricket A History, author Tim Wigmore says the book is “meant to be read sequentially, as narrative history.” It is helpful advice for taking on 539-pages of a timeline which covers almost 150 years. Test cricket nuts could read it in any manner they like. Back to front, sideways or a languorous cherry-pick of themes, events, personalities through 35 chapters and once again fall head over heels with this capricious, alluring sporting form.

Of the many moving words in Virat Kohli’s Instagram retirement announcement, this somehow resonated deepest: “#269signing off”. It is his Test cap number, sandwiched between Jaydev Unadkat and Praveen Kumar; Kohli is part of an unbroken Indian lineage which began from Ladhabhai Nakum Amar Singh at No.1 and has now reached No. 316 Kaki Nitish Kumar Reddy. In that long list, amidst some of our game’s greatest names, Kohli today leaves his own and that too in neon lights.

Probably the best thing to happen to Vaibhav Suryavanshi after his headbanging 35 ball century is that duck on Thursday night. Other than dishing out the starter lesson from Cricket 101 – that the lessons ain’t stopping, boyo – everyone can breathe normally again. Social media can resume hyperventilating about MI Rising (Again) and Rajasthan Royals get the space to look over what has been a messy season.

Don’t you just want the IPL to be in the play-offs already? But there’s still a month-ish to go and because everything there is high-value, high-stakes, high-volume, each day is totally vital. Given what Indians now understand of sporting leagues – franchises, auctions, teams, valuations – that’s the logical course. Leagues are about money, profitability, business, media rights. Well, there’s really leagues and leagues.

Relief would have swept through the CSK camp on Monday night after MS Dhoni marshalled his team to only their second win of the season. Yet they remain at the bottom of the table, have hit the fewest sixes in the competition[1] and are the only team scoring at eight an over. (KKR are second lowest at 9.05). After the win in Lucknow, their management’s tiptoeing around Dhoni will be ignored for a bit with Dhoni’s own brand getting fresh tanks of oxygen.
