🚨When R. Ashwin and Ajinkya Rahane had a beautiful conversation 🚨 R. Ashwin🗣️: "Jinx, you've been grinding it out in domestic cricket and captaining Mumbai. How do you maintain that hunger for red-ball cricket year after year?" Ajinkya Rahane🗣️: "For me, it’s purely about passion. When you step onto the field, whether for India or Mumbai in Ranji Trophy, the ball and bat don't know what stage you're on. You just have to love the process of grinding out sessions, keeping yourself fit, and contributing to the team." Vimal Kumar🗣️: "People always talk about the famous 'Mumbai School of Batsmanship'. What makes Mumbai's cricketing culture so unique and tough?" Ajinkya Rahane🗣️: "It starts early. Traveling two hours one way in local trains with a heavy kit bag teaches you resilience before you even reach the ground! If you get out early, that long journey back hurts. That hunger to value your wicket comes from those daily struggles." R. Ashwin🗣️: "That mental toughness is why Mumbai produces players who excel under extreme pressure. We’ve seen it firsthand in tough overseas Test series." R. Ashwin🗣️: "How do you view the balance between young players coming through the IPL and the traditional Ranji Trophy grind?" Ajinkya Rahane🗣️: "IPL gives exposure and confidence, no doubt. But red-ball domestic cricket builds your temperament. To play Test cricket, you need patience and session-by-session discipline. Both formats complement each other, but the foundation always comes from multi-day cricket."

In 1499, Michelangelo overheard people crediting his greatest work to someone else. He snuck into St. Peter's at night and carved his name on the sculpture. He regretted it immediately and never signed anything again for the rest of his life... He was 24 years old. The year before, a French cardinal had paid him 450 gold ducats to sculpt a statue for his own tomb. The contract had one strange clause: it had to be "the most beautiful work of marble in Rome, one that no living artist could better." Michelangelo had never completed a major public commission. He accepted anyway... He carved for two years from a single block of Carrara marble that he later called the most perfect stone he ever worked. What he produced was the Pietà: the body of Christ, lifeless, across the lap of his mother. When it was unveiled, visitors refused to believe a 24-year-old Florentine had made it. They credited the work to a more famous Lombard sculptor. So according to Vasari, Michelangelo slipped into the basilica with a chisel and carved his name in Latin across the sash running between Mary's breasts: MICHAELANGELUS BONAROTUS FLORENTINUS FACIEBAT. "Michelangelo Buonarroti, the Florentine, made this." Then he vowed never to sign another work. He kept that vow. Through the David. Through the Sistine Chapel. Through the dome of St. Peter's. Through 65 more years of work, until he died at 88. Not one of them bears his name. What I can never quite get over is that he was only 23 when he started. A young man who believed he could carve the most beautiful object on earth. And then he did...
