While the chatter has mostly been on Rohit and Virat’s fitness vis-a-vis 2027 World Cup, Indian management is as worried about Hardik Pandya in ODIs. They want him to be able to bowl 10 overs but they have also decided to realistically prepare for the worst: Nitish Reddy isn’t just a back up. He will get his chances in the XI more games than you think right now
A rapprochement between Turkey and India?
Turkey’s Fidan is proposing to India that both nations can compartmentalise bilateral issues from the disputes regarding third parties such as Pakistan.
“We really would like to have excellent relations with India, because we don't have any border with India, we don't have any outstanding bilateral issue with India, we don't have a bad history with India,” he saye.
“On the contrary, we have every good reason to have to have good relationship.
I think Turkey, I mean, we can [manage], for instance, our differences with Russia on certain issues, with United States on certain issues, with some European countries on certain issues, but we need, we are able to divorce one negative issue from the other, so we can put some problems in parentheses in brackets, and we can go on the positive agenda.
I think this is what needs to be done between Turkey and India, because we have a lot to cooperate to benefit, and we can, we are mature enough to go in this direction.”
Russia’s violation of NATO airspace, hitting a residential building in Romania is extremely dangerous and reckless.
The UK strongly condemns this grave escalation that puts lives at risk. I am in contact with the Romanian Foreign Minister. The UK stands united with Romania and all Allies to defend every inch of NATO territory.
@Rajiv1841 There was no t20 in his day, so only a few batsmen came out guns blazing in odi & test in his day. Stupid comparison really. Let’s see what this kid does if he gets an opening spot in odi & tests then judge him at the end of his career. 🤣
I want honest answer from those who watched Sachin Tendulkar playing live.
Was Sachin as good & as dominating as Vaibhav Suryavanshi when he was playing against international bowlers at his age? Be honest without being nostalgic.
I don't trust the BCCI, I don't trust the ICC and I don't trust WADA. Yes I do believe the Indian cricket team was on steroids for certain matches. That explains anomalies. For example. The first match of the ICC Champions trophy in 2017, India annihilates Pakistan. Then during the last match Pakistan annihilates India. Did the steroids ware off? Did India only bring steroids for the first match believing Pakistan would be eliminated before the final? How is it possible for such a different outcome in the same tournament?
@IS_Netwrk29 Hopefully he will be the baton that’s been passed from Sachin/Sehwag to Kohli/Rohit & will be that player to guide India forward in years to come.
🚨 MASSIVE STATEMENT BY CHRIS GAYLE ON VAIBHAV SURYAVANSHI 🚨
Chris Gayle Said 🗣️,
“I had already said that if anyone could break my record, it would only be Vaibhav Suryavanshi. I’m truly very happy today that Vaibhav Suryavanshi has broken my record for most sixes in a single season. Breaking this record at just 15 years of age is not an easy thing, and no one in the world has managed to do it at such an age. Vaibhav Suryavanshi is a special talent. A talent like him not just me, but many players like me have never seen in their lives. Truly, Vaibhav Suryavanshi is an extraordinary player. The BCCI should take proper care of him because he is going to become a huge asset for India. What a fearless player”
