@CricketopiaCom Stay with England why did you give your name for auction??

“Growing up, I only dreamed of playing for England.” ~ Ben Duckett. Duckett has withdrawn from the IPL with Delhi Capitals, accepting a three-year ban and financial loss, to prioritise his England career. He also apologised for the Noosa drinking incident, admitting the Ashes couldn’t have gone worse.

• If Pakistan Super League gets cancelled, don’t be surprised if it creates a ripple effect on Indian Premier League as well. • Different leagues, same ecosystem and when one major tournament faces disruption, the impact can go beyond borders. • High chances the IPL could also face uncertainty if the situation escalates. - Bookmark this

@ABsay_ek Does he look like Kumar Dharmasena?

Some stories in cricket don't need a hundred Tests to matter. Swapnil Asnodkar played nine IPL games in 2008 and became a name nobody forgot. Picture this. A boy from Porvorim, barely 5 & a half feet, walks into a Rajasthan Royals camp with cost of less than a Mumbai apartment. Shane Warne looks at him. Sees something & calls him the Goan Cannon... The name stuck because it made no sense & perfect sense together. Goa has those old Portuguese cannons rusting near beaches. Small, Heavy, They still work. Asnodkar opened with Graeme Smith that year. Big man, little man. Smith would block & watch. Asnodkar would slash over point, whip through midwicket, make 60 off 34 balls in his first game like he had been doing this forever... He hadn't. He was a Ranji grafter until Warne & Smith told him to stop worrying about his wicket. Imagine spending 6 years learning to stay in, then someone says forget all that, hit everything. He did. Average of 34.5, Strike rate of 133.5. Average partnership of nearly 60 with Smith, highest among all teams. In the semifinal against attack of McGrath & Mohammad Asif, Asnodkar smashed 39 in just 21 balls & Royals scored 58 runs in powerplay itself. Royals went on to won the whole thing... Warne visited his house during a break. Ate prawns with the family. Brought Smith, Watson, even young Jadeja.. The greatest showman of this game sitting in a small Goan home, talking to a player's mother. Asnodkar still remembers that meal. Then 2009 happened. South Africa. Bouncy pitches. Fast bowlers who had watched his tapes. Short balls at his ribs. He averaged 12 that season. Injuries came & Form went. By 2011 he was sitting out. By 2018, Goa dropped him from the state side to give youngsters a chance... There's a photo somewhere of him & Dhoni talking. Shadab Jakati made the introduction. Dhoni wanted to know about Warne's methods. How did he make domestic players feel like equals? Asnodkar told him. That conversation probably helped Chennai Super Kings more than it helped Asnodkar... He is into coaching now, worked with Nagaland & Goa Under-23 sides. Holds a Level 2 certificate. Tried getting back into the IPL as a coach, but that hasn’t happened yet. But here's what counts. Every time a small town Indian player gets picked in the IPL, some of that started with Asnodkar. The template. The proof that you don't need to be from Mumbai or Delhi. You can be from anywhere. The cannon fired for one season. The echo never really stopped.

@mufaddal_vohra But why are they in RCB jersey ???

The swag of Ravindra Jadeja, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Riyan Parag. 😎

@TsMeSalman Oye Kitne fake stories plant karega...

Michael Atherton on IPL signing players already committed elsewhere. 🤯 “This is a worrying trend for the game. When players are already signed with PSL and, just days before the tournament, IPL franchises start targeting them as replacements instead of looking at available free agents, it raises serious questions. Injuries are part of sport, but going after players already under contract, especially when both leagues are about to begin, is not the right way to handle it. Just because there is more financial power does not mean you can disrupt other leagues or tempt players away from existing commitments. This is not just about money, it's about respect for agreements and the integrity of cricket. Actions like this undermine professionalism and set a poor example. It's disappointing, and it's not something cricket should be proud of. There has to be accountability from franchises and boards, you cannot disrupt another league simply because you have the financial muscle. This shouldn't be happening at this level, and if it continues, it risks damaging the credibility of the entire sport." [BBC World Service]

@navneet_mundhra what a nice movie theatre, where is this?

So... Just finished watching #DhurandharTheRevenge. Still gasping for air.... #Dhurandhar2 is more Nationalistic, Explosive & Gripping than the 1st part. Even the performances are more stellar. Yes, the narrative is convenient & some instances look far-fetched.. but they're easily overlooked as the movie takes you on a NEVER-WITNESSED-BEFORE roller-coaster ride. It's sure to cross Rs 1000 crore net in India. At this point, anything between Rs 1000-1300 crore net (ONLY in INDIA) is possible. It might go even higher. Sure-Shot ALL TIME BLOCKBUSTER 💥📽️ Will write a LONG review tomorrow. #DhurandharTheRevengeReview #Dhurandhar2Review #Dhurandhar #RajMandir

@Kannada_BO at 4:30 Prem says Kannada dalli tumba chanagi ide sahiyta 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣,,, still defending. what a joker

@navneet_mundhra Stop giving out spoilers plz

Hats off #AdityaDhar. The character based on #NawazSharif looks so, so, so real 😲👏 IMO, #Dhurandhar & #DhurandharTheRevenge have the best casting among Indian movies in the 21st century 📽️ Even small characters are so well cast 🍿 #DhurandharTheRevengeReview #Dhurandhar2

Looks like it'll rain in Bangalore today !!! Relief

@RayhamUnplugged Who is Hammad Azam ? Overseas??

🚨 HBL PSL 2026 TEAM CAPTAINS 🚨 Peshawar Zalmi - Babar Azam Lahore Qalandars - Shaheen Shah Afridi Islamabad United - Shadab Khan Quetta Gladiators - Saud Shakeel Karachi Kings - David Warner Multan Sultans - Ashton Turner Pindiz - Muhammad Rizwan Hyderabad Kingsmen - Hammad Azam

@BasitSubhani Basit what happened to Saud Shakeel, last i saw him play in CT looked compact and assured middle order player. Not to be seen. Also where is Kamran Ghulam and one more guy I'm not able to recall...

Faheem Ashraf has disappointed. This was his golden opportunity to show us, he can bat like Abdul Razzaq!

@APTalksCricket Sir let's move on from that plz 🙏🙏

10 run aagaye the....😢

@dhaikilokatweet Ek aur documantary??? Sachhi

@KirtiAzaad How does this one match or knock make you look right for what you barked after our WC win last week Mr Azaad?

For all the #AndhaBhakts. I’m certain it will give them a burning sensation. I recommend #Burnol ointment

@stfujaadu @RetardedHurt If Yami Gautam and Aditya Dhar name their kid Dhuran, he would be Dhuran Dhar

if sai pallavi gets married to sai sudharsan, she’d be sai sudharsan

@Madan_Chikna Stuart Binny has better 6 wicket haul than Bumrah

Hit me with the craziest cricketing records

@HandyGingerGal Oh wow i thought I was the only one who didn't like this overrated piece of cinema

This movie was trash, and I'm tired of people pretending it wasn't.

@Iam_Rohit_G What nonsense Ramiz !!! You guys ditched them in WC

Ramiz Raja on Salman Ali Agha run-out. "One side is looking at the rules and the other at sportsmanship. We stood with Bangladesh when All Boards were against them before the World Cup, We are touring Bangladesh so that BCB makes some money after the World Cup loss, We send our players to play their League. I am sorry to say but the attitude and on field behaviour of Bangladesh Player makes me feel we stood for the wrong people"

@cricbuzz Aren't you pcb yourself mr Aqib Javed ?

Pakistan selector urges the PCB to conduct an inquiry 😲
