Lesson from 'Narendra Modi stadium' -- Sport in 'increasingly managed' world of elite competitions, still has the final word : 'The Guardian'
"There is a scientific paper to be written on the optics and the team energy of the batsman’s walk-off. Act out a tragedy and it must be a bit more likely you’re ushering one in. Two hours later Kohli was there again as the loudest noise of the day erupted, taking the catch at second slip as David Warner prodded vaguely at Mohammed Shami, and just for a moment it looked as though Australia’s chase of 241 might be consumed in the ambient energy.
The start was all noise, from the thrillingly sui generis energy of a 92,453 cricket crowd, to the jets pirouetting in the Ahmedabad sky, to Ravi Shastri’s hype-man shtick at the toss, a feverish, panama-hatted figure, arms revolving like an amphetamine-crazed general in the wreckage of Stalingrad.
