More of a comment than a review but I'm not sure if the current hook would appeal to a non-Indian audience. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 04:04, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Open to other suggestions. Though not a doorbuster, I think this would appeal to the cricket following populace, which is a reasonable bit of the english speaking populace. But, I am open. Cheers. Ktin (talk) 04:15, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Appeared at RD so remains eligible. New enough and long enough. QPQ present. But yeah, this hook does nothing for me. If you do not recognize any of these names, this is as boring as they come. Possible ALT1 to try and add some interest as to why it's noteworthy (the interaction of company-owned team and high-caliber cricketer) — please let me know if this is accurate, @Ktin:: Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 07:14, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ALT1: ... that cricketers Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh both played for the Chemplast cricket team under owner and industrialist N. Sankar?

Thanks Sammi Brie for your review and feedback. I like ALT1. Let's go for that. I was trying to get S. Venkataraghavan in as well, but, ALT1 looks good. Thanks. Ktin (talk) 04:05, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Made a slight tweak to the hook to further the connection I'm trying to make (added "and industrialist" to Sankar's description), but that shouldn't be an obstacle. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 04:28, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
