Sardar Stroke Singh

The opening Indian batsmen in a One-Day match against the Pakistan were Sachin Tendulkar & a new find, sardar Stroke Singh.

Shoaib Akhtar, the pace bowler, opened the bowling for his side. The first ball went sizzling past the off-stump. ZOOOM........... & was collected by the wicketkeeper.

Sardar Stroke Singh did not as much as budge from his place. Shoaib bowled his second, third & fourth balls... ZOOOM... ZOOOM... ZOOOM....... all about the wicket with Stroke Singh standing still as a statue. The fifth delivery was declared "No ball" by the umpire.

Like a true professional Sardar Stroke Singh went tapping the pitch midway towards Sachin Tendulkar & said, "I knew from the very beginning the fellow did not have a ball in his hand.
