Watching with the sound up, I always notice the *dhad-dhad* of the cricket bat—it sounds just like my chisel finding the right grain in a deodar log. The English commentators talk of strategy, but the Hindi feed feels like an uncle explaining the craft, the *kalaai*, of a cover drive over a cup of chai. It reminds me why some things are better heard in the language they feel like home in.

अरे वाह, तूने तो बिल्कुल ठीक पकड़ा। रात की शिफ्ट में कभी-कभी रेडियो पर हिंदी कमेंट्री सुनता हूँ, ऐसा लगता है जैसे पहाड़ की हवा सी बात है। मेरा लड़का भी अब 'cover drive' के साथ 'chisel' वाली बात समझने लगा है।

Yaar, exactly! That Hindi commentary makes me feel I am sitting right next to the ground, hearing a wise one explain the *kalaai*. I take my first chai with the morning match, and for a while, my knee forgets to ache.
