This is some top class T20 bowling by Shikhar .. a chinaman bowling all variations with good accuracy and with good speed .. hope the right people see him and give the opportunity to..

we are living in a time where the intelligent person must remain silent in order not to offend the ignorant.

@OversLife The era where we had Dada, Sachin, Sehwag bowling added so much depth and variety in our bowling. We dont get that luxury anymore in modern day cricket where Top3 batters can give you 10-15 overs easily in a ODI match

When Ganguly outfoxed Michael Bevan… Wait for the replay 👀 No wonder Dravid once said… if Dada had been a yard quicker, he’d have been a genuine match-winner with the ball too.

@VishalBhargava5 @TVMohandasPai Cant walk 100 metres in any direction in Andhweri west without seeing either dug up road, uncleaned debris, unfinished abandoned roadworks, broken speedbreakers or potholes

If you want to show the worst of Mumbai, take them to Andheri. @TVMohandasPai is shocked. In Mumbai - Cost of Living vs Quality of Living is inversely correlated. In Andheri it is at it’s peak. A completely abandoned neighbourhood.

Japanese engineers developed a “Sword Tip Visualization System” for the Fencing World Championships, and it makes fencing look absolutely incredible to watch.

@JontyRhodes8 @ShreyasIyer15 Jonty, how about this playing XI 😁 1. Gibbs 2. Mccullum 3. Ponting 4. ABD 5. Symonds 6. Jonty 7. Pollard 8. Jadeja 9. Warne (slips) 10. Lee 11. Steyn 12. Collingwood

Watching @ShreyasIyer15 perform that acrobatic fielding to assist in taking the “team catch “ made me appreciate how fielding has evolved since my retirement. For a long time, I felt like the “father of fielding”, but watching these modern athletes with their timing and awareness on the boundary line, makes me feel like the “grandfather of fielding”! I spent 99% of my career fielding in the inner circle, and when I started working as a fielding coach, there was no focus on the modern day “hotspots” on the boundaries. It was only when I started working with @mipaltan and saw Kieron Pollard, and then Glenn Maxwell, performing these incredible “airborne saves” on the boundaries that we started focusing on not only taking catches off balls that were already beyond the rope, but even saving the ball from going for a sixer, and forcing the batters to run only 1 or 2. With impact players transforming the way that batters can continuously attack the bowling, even with the loss of 4-5 wickets, bowlers need to be backed up by their fielders, and Shreyas’ spectacular“catch and release” was a perfect example of that. But let’s face it; when your head coach is @RickyPonting, one of the greatest fielders in the game, it should not come as a great surprise to see such incredible feats in the field!

@64MohsinKamal Make wides like front foot no balls.

If #IPL really doesn’t want to lose viewership, this wide review rule has to be got rid of. It wastes a hell of a time multiple times in an innings, which becomes quite erratic for a viewer. It must be done away with alongside the impact player thing. #IPL2026

@joybhattacharj Mathematically, if you take out the skill of batter bowler, pitch, conditions, pressure, fielders, etc out of the equation completely, the probability numbers you get are of no relevance at all …

If you take a single, you eliminate the possibility of a regular time loss. So then it's a 50% chance to go to a super over, and a 50% chance that you win. And if it goes to a super over, then there is again a 50% chance you could win. So if you take a single there is 25% chance of losing after a super over and a 75% chance of winning either outright or after the super over. Now if you do not take the single, there is a 33.33% chance you win, 33.33% chance you go to a super over, and a 33% chance you lose. If you add the odds of the super over, it is a pure 50-50 chance. Granted, this does not bring the skill of the batter into the picture and that of the non-striker and their current form. But if you played the odds, the single was the most logical choice.

I’ve been trying to think of 80s and 90s cricketers who missed out on the franchise revolution, but who may have been big money players (if they’d had the chance). So far I’ve got: Sir Viv Richards Sir Curtly Ambrose Courtney Walsh Sir Ian Botham Darren Gough Graham Gooch Robin Smith Kapil Dev Anil Kumble Mohammad Azharuddin Allan Donald Lance Klusener Javed Miandad Saeed Anwar Imran Khan Wasim Akram Waqar Younis Who have I missed out?

A gigantic chunk of Indian problems are municipal and law and order related which happens to be a state subject. The main focus of most Indian mainstream media revolves around the central government. They matter, but our lives are disproportionately affected by municipal corporations and state governments. Imagine a media landscape that hammers the BMC etc across India. Imagine a media landscape that does a dedicated show on police to citizen ratio decade after decade cutting across Indian states. Just let people know the numbers and then see what happens.

All credit to Rohit to make it look so magical The more you think of it, you realise that this kind of batting is possible only at that level - the bowlers pace, the pitch, the willow, the ball(yes that also matters). Try doing this at club level to a bowler bowling a 120kmph with a semi new ball with your average cricket bat on an overused club pitch, it wont work ..

An in-form Rohit Sharma creates delusion. He would gently plant his foot and then lay the bat on ball in way that's bordering caress and invading into the territory of solid punch and the ball would fly away as if it's that easy to do this sort of thing at this level of cricket.

@KP24 Better pitches or bigger boundaries - atleast one of the two.

Question - do you guys like the size of the boundaries currently or would you prefer bigger boundaries?

We’ve normalized overconsumption. Podcast while walking/driving. Reels in the bathroom. Music while cooking. Netflix while eating. Silence doesn’t exist anymore. It’s like we’re scared to be alone with our own thoughts. No breathing space for the mind. Then we wonder why we feel mentally tired. Of course. Your brain never gets a break. Try doing nothing for 10 minutes. Most people can’t.

@ABsay_ek First name that i put in my IPL all-time XI is Shane Watson ! The bleeding knee image for CSK made a huge impact on me.. always loved him .. very definition of MVP.

When most of the cricket fans build an all time IPL XI, The names come fast. AB de Villiers, David Warner, Sunil Narine, Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell, Lasith Malinga, Chris Gayle. Then there’s Shane Watson. Left out, more often than not. Which is strange. Because for a long stretch, he was Rajasthan Royals. From 2008 to 2015, He covered almost everything for them. If you look at their record books during that period, it reads like a man trying to win a game of Bingo against himself. Highest run-getter? Watson. Most wickets? Watson. Best average? Him again. Best economy among their quicks with 25 plus wickets. He was one of only two players to strike at 140 while scoring more than 400 runs for RR. He even had the most maidens. He bowled new ball, faced new ball, bowled tough overs, took wickets, smashed in death overs, filled all gaps. If there was a column, his name sat near the top of it. His numbers look neat for them. 2474 runs, 36 Average. Strike rate 140, 67 wickets, Economy 7.5. He was literally a cheat code in a vest. But that’s only half the story. He achieved this while barely showing up. He missed 2009 completely. Across 2010, 2011, 2012, just 25 games. 4 years that should’ve been his peak, mostly spent injured or flying back home. In 2012, he was the best player in the ICC World Twenty20 2012. For Rajasthan that same year? 7 matches. That’s all. And still, when he actually stayed on the park, things shifted. 2008: Full season, Player of the Tournament, Title. 2013: Full season again, Same award, Rajasthan in the playoffs, which usually needs a bit of overachievement. Even now, he still leads Rajasthan’s wicket charts. Ahead of names like Shane Warne, Trent Boult, Jofra Archer, Yuzvendra Chahal. All of them are looking at the back of a blond Australian all-rounder who stopped bowling for them a decade ago. And just when it felt like his IPL story would fade into “what if”, he turned up again. Older now, Body not quite the same. Still did enough to decide a final for Chennai Super Kings in 2018. Nearly repeated it in 2019. He was the foundation of a title, the MVP of a decade & the man who outbowled the specialists while outbatting the legends. He did it all on hamstrings made of glass & a will made of iron.

The constant pumping of music into every public space, every idle second of sport, every supermarket and café, speaks to an underlying sickness, a kind of cultural mental illness. As a society we are allergic to silence, terrified of spending even one second with our own thoughts

In Mumbai there is a sthānadévatā temple in bhāykhaLā (Byculla/भायखळा) named ghoDapdev. The vigraha of this dèvatā is frozen volcanic lava. It is worshipped as a form of hanumāna. There were 7 islands in Mumbai. So there are 7 deities for them. Five goddesses (Mumbā-Devi, Prabhā-Devi, Kalbadevi, Gaavdevi, Shitalādevi) and two gods (Ghodapdeo and Tardeo). In addition to this there is Walkeshwar (vālukéshwara - Ishwara made from sand by Rāma) and few others too. And Mahalakshmi of course. Mumbā-Devi eventually became the presiding grāmadevatā) of this city. Mumbā comes either from Mahā-Ambā which became Mumbā. Alternatively, She killed a demon named Mumbārka and therefore got the name Mumbā. Aai in Marathi is mother. So Mumbai literally means Mother Mumbā or Mother Mahā-Ambā.

Dear Apple, Please make it easier to delete contacts. Having to go into each contact & select edit then scroll to the very bottom is actually very annoying & tedious. Sincerely, Every iPhone User.

You used to have your bet ideas in the shower, now you have a waterproof speaker. You used to get lost in thought waiting for the train, now you have a phone to fill the gap. You used to daydream on long flights, now there's a screen in your hand and on the seat in front of you. You used to think on your morning commute, now you have a podcast playing before you leave the house. We used to stare in to the sky or into a fire and let our minds drift, now we have TVs and phone to replace that. We filled every silence and lost all of our peace, creativity and ideas that lived within that silence.
