Tamil bros have been catching strays all day 😭

What if India built GitHub?

@18coverdrive It's called watching cricket.

SKY is India' greatest T20I batsman.

@FarziCricketer Csk can't relate

Top tier banter 🤣🤣🤣🤣

𝗟𝗢𝗡𝗚 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚. 👑❤️‍🔥 9️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣* runs in the #TATAIPL and the first batter in the history of the league to reach this milestone. (Aaaaand, we're not surprised one bit.) 😮‍💨🔥

@Fursatbhai @WG_RumblePants What's the soul of the game? Do you think cricket will survive with test cricket only?

Actually it is a misnomer. The greatest success of cricket is Test cricket which has steadfastly refused to change. Even football for that matter. Market should not be the metric to decide how a sport should be played. IPL is forgetting that it is a sport franchise and not an entertainment franchise. The kind of audience it is attracting will kill the soul of the game. I am okay with it, because I have given up on IPL after being an ardent supporter.

I’m already seeing a few cynical comments along the lines of “it’s only T20 hit and giggle” or “the wickets are flat” or “it’s not proper cricket” — that’s before we even get into the nonsense of whether he’s actually 15 or not. But, regardless of whether or not you approve of the IPL or T20 in general, this exceptionally talented young man is taking on some of the best bowlers in the world and marmalising them. He’s outperforming top international batsmen who are twice his age. It’s very easy to be cynical. It’s not half as much fun as just revelling in the joy of his talent. Could he still do it on a grey day at Old Trafford against Sir James Anderson? I’m not sure, but I’d sure as hell pay to see it!

RCB ka tamboo abhi bhi Kohli k bamboo pe hi khada hai

Is there anything better than watching Virat Kohli in full flow 💥💥💥💥💥

Some moments are bigger than the game. Walking out to play, carrying a loss no words can hold, you show what heart truly means. Not just a cricketer today, but a son playing for his mother. Every step, every ball, we stand with you. The team, the fans, all of us, right beside you. Strength, prayers, and yellove always, Mukesh. 💛 #WhistlePodu #MIvCSK #Respect

If you’re looking for a polite take, this isn’t it. I’ve said it repeatedly on the Conflicted podcast: Pakistan was never a neutral mediator between Washington and Tehran. Not for a second. What we’re watching now is not diplomacy, it’s pure manipulation dressed up as statecraft. Let’s call things by their proper names. Under field marshal Asim Munir, Pakistan isn’t some balanced civilian democracy playing honest broker. It’s a military system with a democratic façade, pursuing its own interests with a level of cynicism that should surprise no one who has followed its behavior over the past two decades. What did they sell to Donald Trump? A fantasy. A pipe dream. That the Islamic Republic can be reasoned with. That it is pragmatic, not ideological. That it is capable of compromise if only you flatter it enough and give it incentives. In short: that you can extract “the deal of the century” from a regime whose entire strategic doctrine is built on resisting precisely that outcome. And Trump - obsessed with the optics of a deal - bought it. Meanwhile, senior voices inside Pakistan weren’t even pretending neutrality. A defence minister pushing conspiratorial narratives, blaming the “Zionists,” portraying Iran as a victim, while 6,000 missiles and drones were raining down on GCC states that host millions of Pakistani workers. That alone should have been disqualifying. If a country is willing to throw its own economic lifeline (the Gulf) under the bus for ideological or tactical alignment with Tehran, what exactly makes anyone think it would safeguard American interests? And here’s the uncomfortable part: this isn’t new. We’ve seen this movie before. The United States spent years, treasure, and blood in Afghanistan, only to discover that Osama bin Laden, and his network, were living comfortably in Pakistan all along - while Pakistan was simultaneously cashing in on US counterterrorism billions in funding. They didn’t fail to find the target. They bloody managed it. Why end the hunt when the hunt itself pays and pays pretty well? Fast forward to today, and the pattern repeats, only this time the battlefield is Iran. At the very moment the regime was under maximum pressure (militarily strained, economically cornered, strategically exposed) Pakistan steps in, not to mediate, but to buy Tehran time. Time to regroup, breathe, and ultimately survive. That’s not mediation. That’s intervention - on one side. From a cold, historical lens, this may well be remembered as the pivot point. The moment when pressure was lifted prematurely. When momentum was lost. When a winnable strategic position was traded for the illusion of a negotiated breakthrough that was never going to materialise, ever! Five years from now, looking back, this could read like a familiar chapter: First Afghanistan - undermined from within. Now Iran - diluted from without. In both cases, Pakistan didn’t just mislead Washington. It shaped the battlefield to its advantage, all while claiming partnership with a clueless US administration. And Washington, once again, chose to believe what it wanted to hear.

@ronaldobetter07 Deji did us dirty with that thumbnail 😭🤣

@krishfcb2 She was harassed in the gc for being a Hindu ans Indian. Tell me who made this about nationality or religions? It was no international gc. It was a gc muslim men from different countries. Stop being a hypocrite.

@Prithvi10_ Romario's economy this season is probably 15-20.

Bowling your 1st over directly in the last over of the game against a monster like Miller who has done this day in day out is never easy. You are bound to miss your lengths. I'll give Romario a pass.

@rootofall3vil Kind of pitch where one set batter has to bat long even if it's at a SR of 140

Kind of underlines the job Rajat has been doing after the initial burst. Failed today and RCB crumble.

Aaj Modi ji Feminist ka cosplay karenge.

@vineetrajouri @BabajiSutar3 Yeah on a flat pitch when the team scored 600 too

@BabajiSutar3 SRT played a different kind of innings in Sydney January 2004 didn't played a single shot through covers & scored an unbeaten 241 runs!!!! That's majestic

King Kohli is undoubtedly a great batsman, but I believe Sachin Tendulkar is the greatest. The cover drive was both players’ favourite shot, and bowlers targeted them with 4th and 5th stump deliveries to get them out. Kohli couldn’t fully overcome this issue, but Sachin stopped playing the cover drive and scored a massive 241. This adaptability and discipline make Sachin the greatest in my eyes.

@mxtaverse People like a team that seriously wants to win and plays a fiery brand of cricket. They may lose but people would still buy tickets to watch their game.

Punjab Kings used to be such an irrelevant team before Iyer took over. One man completely transformed the entire brand.
