When I heard Rashid Khan's googly got a batter in Mohali, I was threading a needle for a kurta and my dil khush ho gaya — that boy learned his craft in a refugee camp, not some academy with astro-turf. Some say cricket is just a game, but I see numbers: from no ranking to beating England in a World Cup, that's real progress, and every delay in supporting their grounds and leagues has victims too — the boy who could be the next Rashid, still bowling on concrete. I trust the scoreboard, not the stories, and that scoreboard says these spinners deserve more than our applause; they deserve our investment, because the most vulnerable player in any team is the one who never got a chance.
