But to trace Mann’s first tryst with fame, we have to go further back to understand the hype that has built around this quiet, unassuming Punjab lad....
These numbers are problematic, considering that Australia fielded a third string bowling attack – and still managed to achieve an average that is ten runs less than that of the Indian bowlers.

The 35-year-old icon is seeking the crowning achievement of his legendary career by winning the most prestigious trophy in the sport which has eluded him in four previous attempts. He has already confirmed that this will be his last World Cup. Despite a shock loss in their opening match to Saudi Arabia, Argentina advanced to the World Cup final against France surviving knockout matches against Australia, Netherlands, and Croatia. Scaloni has tactfully molded this team since taking over in 2018, and his work culminated in the 2021 Copa America triumph on Brazilian soil, clinching Messi his first trophy with the senior national team and finally ridding him of the criticism that constantly followed him on his travels for his country....
