Shawshank redemption

The Shawshank Redemption: In Hollywood movie The Shawshank Redemption, Morgan Freeman playing Red says, “Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.” In reply, Andy Dufresne, played by Tim Robbins, said, “Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.”

It was this theme that brought scores of fans to day two of play in the Ranji Trophy match between Delhi and Railways at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. They took their seats early in anticipation of a big knock from their hometown lad Virat Kohli.

But that promising hope didn’t translate into desired reality as Kohli’s off-stump was sent for a ride by Railways pacer Himanshu Sangwan, who till last domestic season was in Delhi’s set-up, ending his stay of 23 minutes at the crease.
