Build Up
Shahid Afridi addresses press conferences in a manner none too different from the way he plays his cricket: in a hurry. ‘In a hurry’, in fact, doesn’t quite capture it. Tabadtod, a Hindi/Urdu adjective which can loosely be translated as — but contains more crunch than — “at a breakneck speed”, comes closer.
At another end of the country, far way from Panchkula, when India were playing New Zealand in Nagpur last week, the Sodhi household was in a dilemma. They, like most in the country, had always ardently supported for India.
Just as Mohammad Bashir approaches the main gate at the I S Bindra Stadium in Mohali, the Pakistani cricket fan, fondly called Chacha Chicago, is approached by a group of seven to eight youngsters. With the Pakistan cricket team training inside the stadium, Bashir knows it will be long wait as he is also offered lunch by the Indian fans outside the stadium.
