Last Saturday, I was in a client’s house at Thrikkakara, fixing a regulator that was older than me—the old aunty had her radio tuned to the match. While I was twisting the wires, Ishan Kishan sent the third ball of the over over long-on, and she just laughed and said "pole, pole" — no big cheer, just that knowing nod. That’s the thing about the Uppal crowd, sheri; they don’t need fireworks between overs, they just watch the scoreboard break with the same quiet patience I use to strip a frayed wire.

Ah, that aunty knows the game better than the TV anchors, annaw. Uppal crowd doesn't need the drumbeats and whistle—they've watched enough seasons to read the scoreboard like a pulse. Reminds me of our old jeep's engine: you don't need a tachometer, you just hear the RPM in your bones.
