Siraj: By evening, India is all out. Siraj returns and takes 4 wickets. A very productive day.
Hyderabad: By evening, we realize it’s logout time, so we pretend to work for four hours. Just another day.
Siraj: Day 3, India bats again. Jaiswal strikes like thunder and scores 118. What a clutch performance.
Hyderabad: Thunder strikes Hyderabad just as everyone steps out. Clutch stops performing due to water inside.
Siraj: Sees Akash Deep score his first 50. Nightwatchman or a full-time batsman?
Hyderabad: Flyovers look like the Arabian Sea for the first time. Is that my watchman or a full-time fisherman?
Siraj: Probably happy with Jadeja and Washington’s fifties helping India reach 374.
Hyderabad: We’re happy the rain stopped, so we rushed to finish all the pending chores.
Siraj: Zack Crawley messes with him, angers Siraj, who then takes his wicket the next ball.
Hyderabad: The rain messes with us, makes us angry, and drenches us the next moment.
Siraj: Root and Brook add 195 for the 4th wicket. Siraj misses the GOAT Bumrah.
Hyderabad: It rained 151.5 mm and we’re missing a BOAT.
Siraj: Drops the catch of Brook — what a blunder!
Hyderabad: People still ride bikes without raincoats — what a blunder!
Siraj: Rain stops play at the end of Day 4.
Hyderabad: Rain doesn’t stop. It stops everything else.
Siraj: Siraj strikes again — England lose their captain Pope.
Hyderabad: Thunder strikes again — infrastructure in Hyderabad loses hope.
Siraj: Now Prasidh Krishna also joins the party by taking wickets.
Hyderabad: Now along
with rain, traffic also joins the party — commuters feel like hit wicket.
Siraj: Takes the final wicket with a perfect ball in the blockhole.
Hyderabad: A truck falls into a black hole.
Siraj: Wins Man of the Match and returns home safe.
Hyderabad: Everyone stuck under the metro pillar man up to match the surge uber price and reach home safe.
Siraj: India wins.
Hyderabad: Hyderabad survives.
