Is there a twist in the tale.

Sundar: "Hold on to your horses everyone. While this performance by Zim is creditable and I am loving it (and evidently many others are too), they still have a long way to go. They need to achieve consistency. So statements like resurrecting the ODI format or taking Zim back to Flower, Campbell, Streak era will have to wait. For now, let's just enjoy a wonderful (and indeed thoroughly enjoyable) performance by Zim."
