Yeah.

I think he said before this song, it's called Stand By Me and it goes to Ajinkya Rahana.

Right.

You know, is Ajinkya listening?

I think impugning the integrity of, like, particularly veteran players who are injured is not on in any way.

I do think there are broader themes around, you know, like...

I'd say like Indian local frustrations that players do not love the thing as much as they would like them to love the thing, you know, and the extent to which people are willing to, or players are willing to go above and beyond for their franchise is really what's, you know, at play here.

I mean, I think a lot of players will, will do what is required of them in their contract.

And yeah,

you know, why they feel that way, I think is a deeper, more, you know, existential question that brings in, um, history, culture, politics, social stuff.

Um, um, and I think it's a disgrace.

No, like, uh, yeah, I, I think that it's, um, I think that's really what's at play here.

I think there's a, there's a sense, and it's probably true, you know, that a lot of like players, um,

You know, use T20 competitions in particular, you know, the IPL as money spinners, no more, no less, you know.

And people at home, people in India want more than that.
