First my best wishes for fastest completion of 10K runs in 9+ years. The other 2 have taken much more calendar years. This shows your fitness & consistency in form in all these 9 + years. Grat feat !!!
Since I am working in China so couldn't see your innings but had 3 of the sites opened to check your score every 15 sec. Please don't get upset over Asian XI selected by the likes of Shastri & Co. Just ignore them. U have got 31 MOM awards only next to Sachin. There r ex-cricketers who wud naturally be jealous. If u don't answer back they wud be silent. For these bunch of Ex. the onlyway to come to limelite is criticise u. Just take inspiration from Rantunga's remark that he wud have made u the captain till 2007 WC
In the next 2 matches try to play till the end of the innings & forget about the strike rate, the whole world knows that u can make good the early dot balls if u play a long innings
I wud love to be known to the world as the greatest fan of Sourav & I can assure you there r countless like me. Just enjoy your batting & leading India to spectacular wins !!!
