- Siraj: Bowls a no-ball. Gavaskar: A professional cricketer cannot bowl a no-ball. Wide, I understand, but not a no-ball. Siraj: Bowls a wide.
- What I learnt today: Whatever you do, whatever, anything, any bloody thing, if you promise Mr Bean to Zimbabwe, send Rowan Atkinson, not a lookalike.
- Bumrah: Asks the crowd to go louder Siraj: Asked the crowd to go silent The crowd:
- Everyone is going mad, on the ground, in the dugout, in front of screens. Ashwin comes out, leaves nonchalantly. Field comes in. He lofts the next ball, runs. As if this is a club match, happens every day, no tension, get this done, go home, have tea, watch a web series.
- When nothing was happening, Eden Gardens generated more decibels in a neutral semi-final than this world record capacity.
- History will remember Dean Elgar as the first Test captain to beat a side with Shardul Thakur in it.
- Between 36 and 336, we all grew up.
- Kohli walks out to bat in his 100th Test match. The crowd might have cheered. Or might not. The Indian dressing room might have celebrated. The Sri Lankan fielders too. Or might not. I never knew. I was not supposed to know. Because I pay Hotstar for commercials, not cricket.

- WHERE IS RAVI SHASTRI WHEN YOU NEED HIS VOICE
