The U-19 world cup is just round the corner. India will need a fully focussed Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Teams will now know that they can get under his skin and try and sledge him as well. That’s where he needs to keep calm. Let me give you a Sachin example. In 1992 Sachin was 19 when he went to Australia. In one of the games, a young Australian cricketer was continuously sledging him. At one point a very calm Sachin called him and said that while a young Tendulkar was already playing for India, the player in question had not yet gone past New South Wales. He should sledge only when he made the Test team. Sachin wasn’t angry and yet the job was done. Vaibhav, much younger than Sachin, needs to take a leaf out of Sachin’s book. He can’t get angry on the sports field. For that’s when he will lose perspective. He is key to India’s success in the world cup and for him to stay calm and be in control is essential. I am sure he will have learnt from the U-19 Asia Cup. Each one of us make mistakes. And he isn’t any different. To learn and get better is the way ahead. And not let the “Oh you are great brigade get to your head.” What Vaibhav Suryavanshi can learn from a 19-year-old Sachin Tendulkar moneycontrol.com/sports/cricket…

He’s not finished. Test cricket still needs Virat Kohli….

It’s hard to imagine that only a few years ago, we didn’t know if the band would continue. We’re so grateful for the warm welcome back Thank you for @linkinpark’s #Grammy nominations today: Best Rock Album (From Zero) & Best Rock Performance (The Emptiness Machine)

Today I again realized that nothing unites our country divided by language, religion, and ideology, often exploited by political parties for votes and other for various purposes, more than our cricket team’s victory.

@EmilSutovsky This really feels like it crosses a line. There’s a difference between making a point and making light of something that clearly affects people deeply. Honestly, instead of deflecting blame, a bit more empathy would’ve gone a long way here.

Amount of love given to Danya post-mortem is unprecedented. I can't recall anything of the kind. But here is the problem - where all of you were when Danya was alive and unwell? I am not talking now about stepping in when he was accused. Although it is a separate important matter. I know many people find it hard to express their opinion, as the problem is indeed huge, and striking a balance is nearly impossible. One thing is clear : the way Kramnik approaches it, simply can't be accepted. And his reaction on Danya's passing is appalling and outright shameful. FIDE is not a court of justice, but we will act within our jurisdiction. However, let's not oversimplify it. It is too simple to focus on Kramnik and forget everything else. Danya was clearly not at his best in recent months. He stopped appearing as a commentator for one reason or another, he was not his usual self. Now, all those who claim how dear Danya was to their heart, how good a friend they were, where have you been? What did you do? All these Kramnik attacks on Danya happened not this week or month. It was not like a shocking accusation, that killed Danya overnight. It kept haunting him for more than a year, even if there was not much of polemics of recent. So, I ask you, alleged Danya's friends, what did you do to help him for half a year or so? Did many of you write him to ask, whether he is OK? Why he, arguably the best online commentator disappeared from the screens? Did you text him to ask why did he stop streaming? Throughout 15 years I spoke to Danya many times, though we never were friends. He fascinated me long before he became a famous streamer. I met him when he just started being coached by my former trainer, Lev Psakhis. And we spoke rarely but in length many times since. I look at our correspondence from 2014, when he was thinking of a life path. And then later in 2017, and in 2019, and in 2021. Most recent online conversation was in 2024 when I invited him to comment on the Match in Singapore. And the last time I spoke to him in person was during the Grand Swiss in Samarkand, where he seconded a top player, hiding this fact for one reason or another. All the recent years I had a feeling Danya was not a happy person, although he made many people happy. Our last lengthy conversation took place in 2021, when he was already a famous online player and streamer, but still was considering a career of a real professional player. He was very much in doubt whether he is doing the right thing with all the blitz and streaming - he even considered moving to Europe to have more opportunities as a player, "but it is very difficult with all the online success I have". It came at a price. The boy with shining eyes had less and less shining left. And now, he is gone. Way too early. If he looks from above, he might be surprised to read about this or that person allegedly being his friend. Danya was kind to many, but it feels like most of the time he was lonely. Virtue signalling and like-grabbing is the worst way to pay respect to Danya. He was special on so many levels. He will be missed - or rather he is very much missed already. The Danya.

Lost my best friend last night. Thank you all for the love you’ve shown him over the years. Roscoe forever.

@SleeperFooty RIP 🙏

Former Arsenal academy striker Billy Vigar has tragically passed away at the age of 21. Vigar sustained a "significant brain injury" during a game last Saturday, but sadly passed away this morning. Rest in peace, Billy. ❤️
