I am genuinely happy for Bhuvneshwar Kumar. The man deserves another look in India colours. Pure class never fades. After Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami, if there is one Indian pacer who can still make a serious impact at the highest level, it is Bhuvi. #IPL #RCBvsMI

We should not play one off test with anyone! If any country doesn’t want to play more than one so be it! There’s nothing called bigger nations and test status is equal to all test playing nations .You can’t have 1 team playing 20 games and another playing 10 games in the same championship cycle! Generating revenue and keeping test cricket alive is two different things and you should not mix up the two !

+1. I have mostly watched the highlights as I don't have to write match reports this time. The Impact Player rule is definitely not working.
Harsh Goenka@hvgoenka

IPL TV viewership reportedly down 26%. @BCCI should take it seriously as IPL has become a batting exhibition instead of a cricket contest. A few fixes: - Balanced pitches where bowlers matter - Rethink the Impact Player rule - Stronger fan engagement by franchises - Better stadium experience: toilets, seating, food, access Cricket is most exciting when there is uncertainty and balance… not just 225 vs 225 every night.

It is a sign of the times that a team makes 243 and there is a discussion on whether it is enough

All that glitters is not gold. Travelling in 20871 Vande Bharat to Rourkela this morning, and quite amused to find mosquitoes in the coach of this so-called lavish train. Attendants are spraying HIT and making it worse. @IRCTCofficial @AshwiniVaishnaw @RailwaySeva

Dear friend from 1984, Santosh Suri, passed away this morning in Lucknow. He was an authority on cricket and my go-to-man. Spent good time with him in the Kotla Press Box last month at the T20 World Cup. Cricket fraternity will miss him 🥲

My story today on @Sportsboomcom reflects the changing dynamics between the English counties and men's team head coach Brendon McCullum. Spoke to Giles White, Director of Cricket, Hampshire, to understand what the counties are expecting from the dialogue. sportsboom.co.uk/cricket/exclus…

He could speak 8 languages and they said he could recite all 37 of Shakespeare's plays from memory. An award winning playwright & stage artist and one of Satyajit Ray's favourite actors. Also one of India's finest comic actors in films like Golmaal, and Hirak Rajar Deshe. The irony is that the marvellous comic roles in Golmaal and other films, what most people outside remember him for, is what he regarded as the least important "I have developed a technique of shutting my mind off, switching it off, rather. I will not be able to tell you even the names of the films I have acted in or even the name of the character I have just finished shooting.” He was also a brilliant writer & regular theatre reviewer. “Mr.Dutt as Othello was rather a pitiable sight, with his voice gone, his breathing laboured and his bulk enormous.” This was Utpal Dutt reviewing his own stage performance using the pseudonym Iago. He also loved classical art and there is this wonderful story told by his daughter. "When we went to Italy, it meant we would have to spend at least one day on viewing each sculpture. We had hired the services of a guide. But, we found that Baba knew more about the place than the guide. The next day, the guide asked us if we would be ready to go on our own." A true renaissance man and a principled one, not scared to go to prison for his views. Utpal Dutt was truly one of our greats. 97th birth anniversary today.
