MUMBAI: “It’s the last dance, we’ve come to the last dance; they’re dimming the lights down, they’re hoping we’ll go.” No, we are not eulogising Frank Sinatra here. We are dimming the lights, closing our eyes, and wondering whether it is indeed “the last dance” for four Indian stalwarts, at least on home soil, in the whites.
Virat Kohli, R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Rohit Sharma have all played their part in making India almost unbeatable at home, till the humble and hard-working Kiwis punctured that aura on Saturday in Pune. Come November 1, as fans walk through Churchgate’s D Road and queue up through the turnstiles at the Wankhede, they would do well to turn up in numbers to acknowledge the contributions of this quartet.
