We are here to talk about the handshake or the lack of handshake. Also, have we said goodbye to Dhoni, to Rishabh, and to Hardik as IPL captains? You're watching the Asian Century. You're watching The Great Cricketer. Come and see the naughty, naughty boys. Big cricket competition in India. We're allowed to say that? Come on, Wrighty. You heard it from the horse's mouth.

Uh, [laughs] just getting started. Um, I thought Murfadal Vora summed it up best. TB- Always does.
Ian Higgins· Host1:22
Always does ...
Sam Perry· Host1:22
throw to Murfadal, please. Now, look, this is from a week ago. Now, it's a weekly show, so- Well, what- ... I don't resi- I don't resign from the fact that- What, what, what, what, what says that? Uh, this i- this is
