“It’s coming home” was the theme song for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, but by the time England started living up to the tag of ‘favourites’, it had been adopted as the unofficial theme song for the ICC World Cup earlier this year.
The fans in the Maximum City, while entering the Wankhede Stadium for the deciding rubber of the three-match T20I series between India and West Indies, could well be humming the same song. Not just in anticipation of India’s series triumph but even with multiple “home” connect the match offers, from both the teams.
Three Indian players — vice-captain Rohit Sharma, middle-order dasher Shreyas Iyer and the new kid on the block Shivam Dube — are Mumbaikars.
Quiet series
While Dube will be keen to continue in the same vein after making his promotion to No. 3 count in Thiruvananthapuram, Rohit and Shreyas will hope to turn things around on their home turf after a relatively quiet series so far.
