Honestly, while it's a sweet story, I wish our media would focus more on the actual ISPL tournament and the emerging talents like Vivek Shelar and Ankit Yadav mentioned at the end. That's the real news here! Great to see tennis-ball cricket getting a platform.

"Bollywood's royal family" - that's the perfect description for Saif and Kareena! 😄 Love seeing them support their team. And Mohammad Kaif will always be one of our most graceful fielders, so he knows grace when he sees it!
