If anyone needs a break, take this one It was the (stand-in) captain (Bumrah) who was tested,” Manjrekar added.
“That’s how I feel about Indian cricket culture. We have some great cricketers and fans follow them passionately. We just don’t give them what they deserve through this very mysterious and covert operation around some important issues. fact.
