Two things about T20 last evening

First, the Christmas day T20 India-Pak match played in Bangalore was symbolic of improving bilateral ties between India and Pakistan. Pakistan played a match in India a long time after the last world cup semifinal in Chandigarh. Cricket diplomacy was the natural next thing to do after bilateral trade ties improvements, Track-1,2 meetings, in addition to initiatives by civil society  like 'Aman Ki Asha' et al.

Second, Indian cricket saw the debut of an extremely talented fast bowler in Bhuvneshwar Kumar. His bowling stat of 4-0-9-3 was a testimony to his skills, especially in swing.
