Dear Cricket Gods,

Please be kind.

I am embarking on a journey to hopefully witness the Indian team make history in London by ending the 9-year trophy drought by claiming the most pivotal prize in test cricket, the World Test Championship.

We missed out last time.

but this time please bring it home.

Over the recent years, whenever I've taken a leap of faith to go watch my team live, you've given me more pain than joy.

2021 Dubai (India vs New Zealand - Group Stages)

2019 Manchester (India vs New Zealand - Semi Final 2019 World Cup

2018 Lords (India's first innings defeat under Kohli's captaincy)

2016 Wankhede (India vs West Indies Semi-Final)

This time around, please be kind.

Love,

Every Indian

PS London, see you in a bit. Please don't rain.
