While I'm cheering for India, I hope we can enjoy the sport for what it is. The religious imagery is a bit much for my taste. Let's keep the focus on cricket and sportsmanship. May the best team win on the day.

From Surat to Amritsar, the entire country is united in blue! Abhishek Sharma has been in great form, hope he smashes it today. Pakistan team is strong, but our boys have the talent and the prayers of 1.4 billion behind them. Chak De India!

The hype is real! Even my colleagues in Mumbai who don't usually watch cricket are planning to catch this one. Hope it's a close, fair contest. Pressure is on both teams, but India should edge it at home.
