Twenty-Twenty cricket has taken the cricketing fraternity by storm. The short form is not my favorite, but my special cricketing moment is from a twenty-twenty match. It was way back in 1989 and the little master announced his entry to international cricket in a memorable fashion. Though India lost that match it gave hope to so many cricket fanatics like me. During those days, one of the thoughts that came into my mind was that who will carry Indian cricket forward once Kapil and Srikanth retired. Kapil was my hero because of 83 and Srikanth because of the way he opens the innings. But that evening I had new hope and the master has lived upto my expectation and is still going strong.
Suresh Menon has written a nice article on this innings in cricinfo. Please catch that in http://content.cricinfo.com/magazine/content/current/story/399162.html
