If he plays safe and makes it through to the end of the innings with a modest score to his name, nobody will really blame him; the match was won anyway.
But, with an opportunity like that and with very little to lose, a batsman or RBI governor with a sense of drama and history could be tempted to take his chances and book his place in the record books.
The fact is, there is very little for the governor to do at this time as far as monetary management is concerned.
There is a lot of liquidity in the system, which might cause worry under other circumstances, but not now, when inflation mimics the scoring rate between the 15th and 40th overs. Growth is on an upswing, not just because of one sector but because all three are performing.
Perhaps a little bit of nip-and-tuck at the short end of the yield curve to steepen what is an embarrassingly flat line and then RBI-watchers can all go home to do more interesting things. Dr. Jalan
