Dr. Srikanth Sundararajan (Doc)

@BabajiSutar3 @KrisSrikkanth His world cup debut was in the league stage not the finals!

@SundarSrik @KrisSrikkanth We are talking about World Cup debut not Test match debut here !

Did you know, legendary cricketer Krishnamachari Srikkanth @KrisSrikkanth debuted in the 1983 World Cup! He was the top scorer (38 runs) in the 1983 WC final against the mighty Windies attack! He is the one who won the ICC trophy in his debut ICC tournament! He was also the chief selector when India won the 2011 World Cup! He played 43 Tests and 146 ODIs, retiring after the 1992 World Cup with over 6,000 international runs. If any one knew more facts on Srikkanth sir , feel free to quote this post !

@cricdrugs Hmm - Dob ?

The Gaffer arrives not with hype, but with steel. Alec Stewart wasn’t a teenage prodigy or overnight sensation. He debuted late, just shy of 27, and still carved out a monumental Test career spanning 133 matches, a testament to durability, discipline, and sheer grit. What makes Stewart’s numbers even more compelling is the context behind them. When burdened with wicketkeeping duties, he still averaged a respectable 35. But when freed to focus solely on batting, he transformed, his average soaring to an elite 46, revealing the true extent of his class. Leadership came naturally, if not fashionably. As captain, he guided England to a landmark triumph, their first victory in a five-Test series in over a decade, against South Africa in 1998. Yet his no-nonsense, almost military style didn’t sit well in an era drifting toward modernity. By the time of the 1999 World Cup, criticism grew louder, and his methods were labelled outdated. Still, Stewart endured much like his batting. Through scrutiny and calls for change, he remained a pillar of the side, holding his place until bowing out in 2003 after the South Africa series. Not flashy. Not flamboyant. Just relentlessly effective, the kind of cricketer teams are built on. Happy Birthday, Alec Stewart. 🎂 Born 8-4-93, scored exactly 8493 test runs🫡 Pic Courtesy: MemoryLane

@SwarajyaMag Make sure they do not block others - its for the nation, not the family business!

🇮🇳 India moves to build rare earth magnet capacity under ₹7,280 crore scheme 🏭 25 companies participate in pre-bid meet in New Delhi 🔧 Target set at 6,000 MTPA domestic manufacturing capacity swarajyamag.com/business/india…

@amitabhk87 Yes - focus on our ecology first!

Sensible move. The developed world has not lived up to any of its commitments made at COP 21 in Paris. COPs have been taken over by Fossil fuel lobbyists. India withdraws bid to host COP33 climate talks climatechangenews.com/2026/04/08/ind…

@the_hindu Bingo Ashwin - keep the pressure on - we need out of the box thinking, not quota on startups, patents ...!

Speaking on the role of academia in innovation, Ashwin Mahalingam, professor, IIT Madras, stressed that science and technology are inseparable, with breakthroughs in areas like semiconductors rooted in material science and advances in artificial intelligence driven by probability and statistics. @SRM_Univ #DeepTechSummit2026

@narendramodi When Iwas a BTech student @iitm, I was asked to invite Dr. CV Seshadri for an extra mural lecture, he spoke about his alternate solar, wind and mini nuclear/bio gas vision for India, and urged me to study and come back to desh- we have consistently missed opps!

India’s efforts towards energy security gain new momentum with today's Cabinet decision. The HRRL project will encourage self-reliance, industrial progress and job creation. pib.gov.in/PressReleaseDe…

Reflective Politic++: For the last 50+ yrs or so the Opposition, Corrupt Politics has ensured that we stay eroded - relevant bills and acts are blocked - think nation, think progress! Work together for the citizens, country!

@SadhguruJV U2?!?

Congratulations to all scientists and engineers who have worked for over two decades to achieve this milestone. The fast breeder reactor is critical to securing long-term clean & affordable energy for a surging Bharat. Most important to prioritize safe disposal of waste. Best wishes & blessings. -Sg

@TheRocketMediaX Brilliant - keep going 👍

@narendramodi Mudras have many purposes, some good and some bad. Our Mudras are replete with paper work, bureaucratic inefficiency, laced with corruption! We are losing that battle daily - ineptitude, no decisiveness,lack of real impact of these 100 Yojnas and Mudras! It's tax payer money 😡.

PM Mudra Yojana has redefined access to credit by empowering millions with the confidence to dream and the means to fulfil it. By removing barriers and trusting the aspirations of our people, it has strengthened the spirit of enterprise across India. #11YearsOfMUDRA

@BJP4India Blooms do wither too, and quickly, the key is sustained results not graphics!

47 Years of Nation First! 🪷 From the heartland to the Northeast, the footprint of governance has expanded steadily. With BJP and its allies in power across a majority of states and Union Territories, this map reflects a decisive shift in India’s political landscape driven by development, stability, and a strong national vision. #47YearsOfNationFirst

@smritiirani Wow u 2?

A landmark moment indeed in India’s nuclear journey! The indigenously built Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam achieving criticality is not just a technological milestone but a strategic leap towards energy security and self-reliance. Deep respect and congratulations to our scientists and engineers for making this exceptional achievement possible. 🙏

@AmitShah Without understanding anything, why post stuff, it appears as if all the ministers are trained to sing in unison!

New epoch in our civil nuclear program. Congratulations to our scientists and engineers for your grand success in building the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam. A giant stride towards global domination in power production, this facility will play a critical role in unlocking the power hidden in our vast thorium reserves and realizing Modi Ji's vision of making India the world's powerhouse.

@IndianTechGuide Good!

🚨 Kalpit Veerwal, who made headlines in 2017 by securing AIR 1 in JEE Main with a perfect 360/360 score, ditched corporate life and is now pursuing singing career.

@PiyushGoyal Every mother is flapping their mouth, it was always part of our plans from aeons ago!

A major milestone in India's civil nuclear journey and a proud moment for all Indians! As the indigenously designed and built Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam attains criticality, we are witnessing a significant step towards tapping India's massive thorium reserves and advancing long-term energy security. This achievement reflects our engineering excellence and will further strengthen our scientific endeavours. Congratulations to all the scientists and engineers behind this outstanding accomplishment!

@ParveenKaswan Come on Praveen, it is a long term commitment, process, quality tests etc.

Thorium is our oil. Finally in sight.

@nsitharamanoffc Kindly focus on basics, per capita GDP, jobs, MSME support! Such a freakin waste of bandwidth!

A decade ago, our economy was one of the "Fragile Five." We began the second quarter of the 21st century as the fastest-growing major economy in the world. We began with a fiscal deficit on an unsustainable trajectory. We have brought it to 4.4% of GDP, en route towards 50% debt-to-GDP by 2030-31. We began with a tax system built on suspicion. We have created one premised on trust. We moved the budget date. We introduced quarterly limits. We built the TSA and the PFMS ecosystem. We decriminalized commerce. We made tax assessment faceless. We created an inflation targeting framework and the institutional independence that makes it credible. These are not small achievements. They are the cumulative result of thousands of decisions by the collective wisdom of people and leadership who chose the harder, more principled path when the easier one was always available. - Smt @nsitharaman in New Delhi (1/n)

@InvestRepeat @bhash Hmm! 🙄

Today I Learned: Till April 2025, Bhavish Aggarwal’s @bhash Ola Group had filed ~650 patents. To put that in context, all 117 Indian unicorns combinedly hold ~229 patents & out of that ~180 belong to Ola alone.
