But Chinese Taipei are also travelling with their most labour-day of electronics- horn speakers used in factories or mines to signal shut ends. Except, this has a pre-recorded chant that keeps going between points, to keep the cheering levels high. Thomas Cup quarterfinals are not the best time for team members especially scheduled to play, to waste energy screaming. The arena has modest partisan support for either Taiwan or India and many empty chairs with sparse flag waving crowds.

You need to be in a good space with the cricket and work on things. But actually, one of the biggest challenges is dealing with the outside noise. And also your own expectation and your own comparisons against what you believe you’re capable of. That’s always the challenge, to not allow that to overshadow playing the game and being free and having the freedom to walk out there with your bat and look to score runs,” he said in an interview to PTI. “I’ve been playing for a long time now, there’s been different times in my career that you’re learning the same lesson, actually, over and …
