“Dear Pat, today I thought it might be fun to drop you a little note. First off, let me just say you’ve done an amazing job leading the Orange Army this season. Mercurial is the way you describe SRH.

But today You will be against colors that will be familiar to you. Purple and gold. It’s time for the Tata IPL Grand Finale. Here’s to a thrilling final. May the best team win. And by best, I mean ours. Army KKR. Your opponent, Shreyas Iyer,” Shreyas Iyer says in the video.
