@Gauravmehra230 @yousaf1788 @SAfridiOfficial Poor shot selections over a 21 year career yes because he had zero brains.

@arup_ghose @yousaf1788 @SAfridiOfficial Poor shot selection for 21 years of cricket carrer🤣..I think u need to work on yr word selection..I'll repeat again..Afridi was technically a very weak batsman..his basics were always wrong n he was a much better bowler than a batsman

15-year-old cricket sensation #Vaibhav Sooryavanshi reminds me of @SAfridiofficial young, fearless, explosive, full of energy. The future is here! 🔥🏏 #Cricket #IPL2026

@Gauravmehra230 @yousaf1788 @SAfridiOfficial Afridi was a fantastic batter but the reason he never excelled as a batter was poor shot selection.

@yousaf1788 @SAfridiOfficial Shahid Afridi never hd any technique..his basics were very weak..this kid suryavanshi is very strong technically..so u cannot compare him with Afridi..Afridi was a much much better bowler than a batsman

@iamrohitian45 Don’t solely blame the batters. Why did the bowlers let Australia score 328?

Who is responsible for this loss against Australia in 2015 WC semifinal ?

@anand_czar @GabbbarSingh He's been messed about by BCCI too - dropped from the T20I side for Gill even though he was the no1 T20I batter in the world and in ODIs, he can't break the door down due to Rohit and Gill's partnership.

@GabbbarSingh Given Jaiswal's status as an all-format international cricketer, he must have naturally aspired to lead RR much like his peers are doing for their teams. The disappointment of missing out on the leadership role may have mentally affected his focus leading to a dip in his form.

The silent storm that’s brewing in Jaiswal’s head. A young, super talented guy, achieved the pinnacle of Test batsmanship by opening the innings in Australia, is being outclassed here by an even younger guy. Like a star close to the sun. Like a 4 year old, sad about all the love the 2nd new born is getting. Tough!

@ThePitchTalks "won't survive five minutes outside Asian conditions" - jeez, the kid is 15! What were you doing at aged 15? Yes he has technical flaws, but what 15 year old is the finished product??

My stance remains the same on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi who looks like an absolute god until the ball moves half an inch or the pitch isn't a concrete highway. Bro is a certified home-track bully who won't survive five minutes outside Asian conditions. Put him on a green top in Perth or a swinging track at Lord's and he’s walking back to the pavilion before the powerplay ends. And please stop comparing this kid to legends like Tendulkar or Gayle. That is a total shame and a disgrace to cricket history. He needs to learn how to play a basic outswinger before anyone mentions him in the same breath as the greats.

@WaqarEY @CricketopiaCom Warne and McGrath both ended their careers in 2007 so i doubt they will be in contention. Lara ended his career in 2006

@CricketopiaCom Lara Tendulkar Ponting Kallis Warne Muralitharan Kohli McGrath All in line for remaining five spots

Who will be your Top 5? Greatest Cricketer of Last 25 Years by Cricinfo 25 Ashwin 24 Broad 23 Pietersen 22 Sehwag 21 Mahela 20 Cummins 19 Stokes 18 Gayle 17 Starc 16 Williamson 15 Bumrah 14 Dhoni 13 Anderson 12 Dravid 11 Gilchrist 10 Smith 9 Root 8 Steyn 7 Sangakkara 6 de Villiers

@GSV1980 Jaiswal started well, and will no doubt come back Kuldeep’s stock will always be high he’s a match winner.

Let's talk about players who stocks have fallen big time this IPL and may lose their stakes to be in contention: Rishabh Pant, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Kuldeep Yadav, Jitesh Sharma, Varun Chakravarthy, Riyan Parag, Ayush Badoni, Avesh Khan, Mayank Yadav, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar. Did I miss anyone or wrongly included anyone? Lemme know.

@CookeeCharlie I’m pretty sure the entire British Indian / Indians on visas would be watching the IPL. Then add Australians, South Africans, West Indians etc. oh then let’s add the small amount of England fans who like T20 and IPL cricket, who want to watch their hero’s like Buttler. Hmmm

When the IPL started today, Sky moved the Surrey Essex game to plus and put the IPL game on sky cricket, would love to know the viewing numbers because I am convinced no one in the UK cares about the IPL

@IMManu_18 Source - absolutely nothing

🚨NO KL RAHUL, PANT & JADEJA IN ODI🚨 - No Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma & Rinku Singh in T20I. - "Reports suggest kl Rahul, Rishabh pant & Ravindra Jadeja may not longer be part of Team India's long term ODIs plans. - Shreyas Iyer is the next T20i Captain of India & Rajat Patidar in back in T20i squad. - After IPL 2026 the Coach & Chief Selector could take big calls. Sources even claim Jadeja might have already played his last ODI. - Sanju Samson & Ishan kishan replace of Kl Rahul Rishabh pant. - with the 2027 world cup in South where swing & bounce dominate & Sanju & Ishan best options".

@kjohno10 @Cricket_TS @Harmy611 Horrible tour yes but what do selectors ask people to do when they've had a bad tour/series? Go play county and score loads of runs - he's done that so i don't really see any grounds to drop him now. Yes he isn't keeping but hard to displace Foakes right now.

@arup_ghose @Cricket_TS @Harmy611 He’s not keeping and he’s off the back of a horrible tour. Granted he’s played well at county level, but I don’t think some time out of the team will hurt him long term.

🔥 "He's hasn't just kicked the door down, he's blown it off it's hinges. You have to find a place for him." ✔️ "There are players that start out of position, but you need to fit them in." @Harmy611 believes James Rew is ready to play Test Cricket for England 🤝

@kjohno10 @Cricket_TS @Harmy611 Don't think Jamie Smith has done much wrong in the county games for him to be dropped?

@Cricket_TS @Harmy611 He doesn’t even need to be out of position. Bat him at 6 (above Stokes) and give him the gloves. The only position in the batting line-up to worry about is who should open with Duckett. Bethell should remain at 3.

@GauravB0603 @CricketopiaCom You don’t need to have played the game to know or to be able to speak about the game. One of the greatest commentators Tony Crozier hardly played. Journalists know the game just as much as players

@CricketopiaCom Glad Solanki did that to him. Such a hyped bugger. Thinks he has played like Gavaskar , Wadekar or Vengsarkar and comments or picks on crickets. He gives Gyan on cricket, he gives Gyan on business management he gives Gyan on literally everything.

Solanki's Blunt Reply To Harsha Whose side are you on? Harsha Bhogle: “Someone just told me you celebrated 50th birthday the other day, That's not true, is it. You're looking trim & young” Vikram Solanki: “I tell you what, Harsha, you're having a couple of opportunities to make sure you're raising a couple of points on my behalf, how about we stick to the cricket, & talk about the guys”

@BCBtigers There’s a reason why no one in world cricket like the Bangladesh cricket team

Crucial moment! Mehidy Hasan Miraz removes Salman Agha with a brilliant run-out. ⚡🏏 #BCB #Cricket #Bangladesh #Pakistan #ODI

@CricCrazyJohns Is he the best T20 bowler ever? Yes Is he the best white ball bowler ever? Debatable v Wasim but maybe across formats yes Is he the best red ball bowler ever? Hard to argue that right now v Wasim, McGrath, Steyn and Ambrose

Stuart Broad said "Jasprit Bumrah is the fast bowler I have ever seen". [The Love of Cricket]

@oyefaisy @Cricketracker If it makes you happy, then sure let’s go with that

@arup_ghose @Cricketracker Even if he played against minnows, his SR and gap between 383 and 319 adjusted that.

A historic season for Pakistan opener Sahibzada Fahran (383 runs) as he breaks Virat Kohli’s record for most runs in a season (319). #T20WorldCup2026

@cricket_badger Thoughts on where Jacks should be batting? He has excelled at 7 but has the game to be batting higher, perhaps not opening but at least 3-5.

I’m hugely impressed with Will Jacks in the #T20WorldCup. He’s always been talented but he’s proving international temperament now. As for Jos Buttler. The shot he got out to yesterday was timid, uncertain and he’s got zero confidence. His body language screams lost.

@Nikhil_Rams @BoriaMajumdar @RevSportzGlobal India just have to win. There is no contention of NRR to get to the semi final. It won’t rain in Kolkata

@BoriaMajumdar @RevSportzGlobal I beg to disagree - SKY should have finished off Bumrah and HP’s quota of 4 overs than bowl Dube today - it would have made the margin of win even more wider and improved our NRR. In the unlikely event that it rains in Kolkata we would be knocked out becos of low NRR.

Surya did the correct thing by trying Dube. It is about chess. You don’t play move by move. He has to try Dube to see if he can give 1-2 overs against the West Indies. Bumrah will always bowl 4. Game was won. Surya had to try Dube. Did so. No issues. @RevSportzGlobal #IndvZim

@ovshake42 Tilak played the Rinku role probably even better than Rinku would have

Slightly surprised by Rinku sitting out and not Tilak: let us see how this decision pans out.

@bhavesh1406 @bhogleharsha He hasn’t been ruled out, so a replacement can’t be brought in until he has

@bhogleharsha Better to recall Yashasvi or Shubhman. What is your opinion?

Feel for Rinku Singh but if he can't play, I like the idea of Samson joining Abhishek at the top with Ishan at 3. Hard on Tilak but you can play him according to the situation in a middle with Hardik, Dube and Axar.
