A cricket pod as much for the Noel David fan as it is for a Sachin fan. Rant and rave about everything to do with World Cricket since the 90s. Read the header.
🏆WC Dashboard🏆 I was getting too lost with the ongoing Women's WC. Too many teams, too many new players, no context of what I should be expecting. There had to be a more fun way to learn about everyone. So, I built one. Check it out at womenst20wc.vercel.app

So here’s something that just hit me hard, and that too very pleasantly. In Norway, getting groceries means driving to the “buttik” - sometimes in -10°C weather - just to grab 1 litre of milk. That’s normal life in one of the most “advanced” countries in the world. Last night I landed back in India. Today I opened Zepto and Blinkit, linked my Amazon Pay, and ordered mangoes, shower gel, sanitiser, toothpaste, vegetables, fruits, milk, and a bunch of other essentials - 12 items in total. I tried this on both apps delivered everything to my apartment in less than 9 minutes. 😊 12 items. Under 9 minutes. To my door. I sat there and just laughed, honestly. Because we Indians complain about India all the time - the traffic, the chaos, the noise. But we don’t realize what we already have until we leave and come back. No one in the “developed” world has this. Not Norway, not anywhere I’ve been. This kind of convenience, this kind of hustle, this kind of “I want it now and I’ll have it now" - that’s India. 🙌 So to every Indian who keeps comparing us down - go drive in the snow for milk first. Then tell me we don’t have it good. 🇮🇳🧡

#WATCH | Paris: Addressing the Indian community, PM Modi says, "There is another thing that connects India and France: football. Football fever is at its peak right now. Its passion is visible everywhere in France. But the craze for football is at its peak in India too. The French team, in particular, has a huge fan following in India. France has started this World Cup with a resounding victory. I wish the French team all the best." (Source: ANI/DD)
A fake Gavaskar account responding to a fake Sooryavanshi handle. Why Indian fans create fake quotes in the name of cricketers, or worse fake accounts will remain one of the unsolved mysteries of the universe.
