just like when we dive into a burning building with one goal in mind, saving lives, the game of cricket often presents challenges that can seem insurmountable. the ridicule from fans when a team is losing, or the predismissal judgments about a player's form, can weigh heavily on the players. but much like us, they learn that overcoming obstacles is part of the journey. they follow the edicts of the game, honing their skills and strategies in private, keeping their plans under wraps until the moment is right. it’s a reminder to all of us, whether facing a fast bowler or a raging fire, to go back to the beginning, focus on the basics, and emerge victorious, no matter the odds.
