West Indies’ fast bowling great Michael Holding’s presence at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday came as a surprise to many. After all, he is not part of the Pepsi Indian Premier League commentary roster. Secondly, he has been too sharp a critic of Twenty20 cricket to be seen on the eve of a match (Mumbai Indians vs Chennai).
