Robin Uthappa bhai ne bola, bhai log, Sanju Samson ko No. 3 pe bhej do, aur Shubman Gill aur Abhishek Sharma ko opener bana do. Samjho, batting mein aisi depth milegi jaise paani mein doobte hue log! Aur Suryakumar ko fixed seat do, warna woh hilte rahenge, samjhe? Bhai, cricket toh puzzle hai, aur Uthappa ka plan hai zabardast!
