@cricketaakash Bring in Karun Nair

To-do list for the Guwahati Test 1. Prepare a better pitch that is meant to have a 5-day Test. Not a 2.5 day lottery. 2. Play 6 proper batters. Four spinners + two pacers doesn’t work in Tests. 3. In case Gill isn’t available, play Jurel at four. You can add your wish-list in comments 😇

@cricbuzz Sky’s 18 to 98

If you had the power to alter just ONE number on this scorecard, what would you change?

@GabbbarSingh India Srilanka SF loss in 96 also is at par with 2003 loss. But 2023 hurts the most!

Which World Cup loss you are more pained by, depends at what age you had nothing to lose, when you had no assets, no life partner, no kids, you just had hope. At such an age, you make tremendous emotional investment into Cricket. With such a high risk exposure, a loss is bound to hurt. For me it was the 2003 final.

@ActusDei NPS

Out of the 80% in NPS, 60% is tax free. So you only have to pay tax of Rs 3.5 lakh which comes to about an 11% tax rate on the gain you have made. Finally, you can use the 25% tax-free partial withdrawal provision in NPS to take out 25% of your contribution, just before scheme matures. This further brings down the tax and annuity components. If all this sounds confusing we are here to help. Join @thefynprint community for NPS where we will answer all your NPS questions. Reply to this thread with 'NPS' and we will send you the link. @DedhiaDhairya

New NPS schemes were launched on 1st Oct. 15 yr tenure. Upto 100% equity. Can use them for goals like home buying too. With proposed reforms only 20% for annuity. Better than mutual funds? Ans: For some yes, since new regime deduction not available in mutual funds. (Read thread)

@TimsyJaipuria What about the cess applicability. Currently SUV attracts 45%

🚨ATTN TAXPAYERS FROM OUR TAX TABLE TODAY 👇 SOURCES say: Centre likely to have proposed lowering GST rate on two-wheeler less than 350CC & small cars. Key Proposals Under Consideration: 👉Two-Wheelers (engine capacity below 350cc): GST rate to be cut from 28% to 18% 👉Small Cars (below 1200cc engine capacity): GST + cess of about 29–31% to be reduced to 18% flat 👉Hybrid Passenger Vehicles (upto 4m length & 1200cc petrol / 1500cc diesel engines): GST to be reduced from 28% to 18% 👉Other Passenger Vehicles (big cars, luxury cars, SUVs): 40% GoM on rates to deliberate on the proposal. @CNBCTV18Live @CNBCTV18News @ShereenBhan @theicai @icsi_cs @siamindia

@joybhattacharj Sir, Why did u not mention Kohli at no. 4? Isn’t he one of the greats ?

Why do the best test batters usually bat at No 4? It's just the perfect place to make the most runs, like opening in T20s. On most days, the openers and No 3 have seen the shine off the ball giving No 4 the best chance to bat long Tendulkar, Kallis, Lara, Root...& now Shubman

@CricCrazyJohns Just one change. Instead of Jadeja, KD should play.

THE LIKELY INDIAN 11 FOR THE SECOND TEST. [Express Sports] Jaiswal, Rahul, Karun, Gill, Pant, Jadeja, Nitish, Sundar, Akash Deep, Siraj, Prasidh.

@LoyalSachinFan Karun Nair in 3 ; NKR for Sai Sudarshan ;

NKR in place of Shardul Thakur and Arshdeep Singh in place of Jasprit Bumrah if he's not playing. Any other changes you want in the 2nd test?

@tds122 Gibbs, symcox, McMillan, morne morkel. Hope they are on bench!

Move only one matchstick somewhere within to get the equation right. Let’s see if you are a mathematical genius!

@sardesairajdeep It’s fake! What is re thruths ?

A US president offering to ‘settle’ ‘1000 year’ Kashmir issue (needs a history lesson) ! And equating/hyphenating India and Pakistan once again. We sure have come a long way in just 24 hours from ‘mooh tod jawab’ ballistic rhetoric. Moral of the story: war is no solution in 21st century era as PM Modi himself rightly said a few months ago. Find more imaginative ways for conflict resolution . (And yes, we don’t need Uncle Donald to tell us what to do next time) .

🚨India used Russian S-400 Triumph system to thwart Pakistani attack. The S-400 is one of the world’s most advanced air defense systems, capable of tracking and destroying aircraft, drones, and ballistic missiles up to 400 km away. WATCH!

Indian Defence Sources: Inputs with respect to Suicide Attack by terrorists at Pathankot or Rajauri is completely false.

@ganeshsonawane Hi Ganesh, Really love the way you are trying to solve real life issues with innovation. Just wanted to understand are you thinking to design something which can help reduce the over pronation? Shoes for this use case are really expensive.

@Rahul_J_Mathur Which tool do you use to accurately convert the balance sheet pdf file to text

I’ve recently switched from using ChatGPT Pro & Grok to Gemini because of the Gemini 2.5 pro release. Sample workload: Analyze past 5 yrs financials of a sports subsidiary of an Indian listed company Gave the PDF files (txt converted) to Grok DeeperSearch, ChatGPT 4o DeepSearch and Gemini 2.5 with the same/similar sequence of prompts. (1) Time to analyze: Gemini = 5 mins, Grok = 6 mins, ChatGPT = 20 mins (2) Adherence to prompt ask: Gemini > ChatGPT > Grok (3) Quality of answer: Gemini > Grok > ChatGPT Gemini was extremely intelligent → explained the amortization logic, separated gross v/s net revenue calculations, estimated BU-level P&L. ➡️Anyone who wrote Google off in AI needs to seriously re-think their past statements — the performance & accuracy is off the charts.

@pointspro Kayano doesn’t get discount

👟 The shoe I ened up buying Asics Nimbus 26 I have gone to the store twice to check it out and I liked Nimbus better than Kayano. I under pronate slightly on my left leg so even they suggested Nimbus only. How did I buy? On Myntra. My size is 11, so not many would have discount on this but ... There was a 50% discount + Rs 300 coupon + 5.1% discount with Maximize + Amazon vouchers with Amex Reward Multiplier + Rs 230 cashback on affiliate shopping site So a pretty good deal. 😀
