"The poorest man is he whose only wealth is money". - yours truly #thoughtoftheday #ThoughtForTheDay

@DeafMango About time. This needs to be discussed and guilty players ought to be punished for this

Monga has smashed this one out of the park. In this day and age colourism can't simply be casually dismissed under the garb of banter. Good to see Cricinfo address this very unfortunate ill in desi society, which could very easily have been ignored. espncricinfo.com/story/ipl-2026…

@prasannalara He played multiple maiden overs in 2022 T20 WC. On every big day when the pressure mounts, he is usually the first one to bail out. His issue is not technical, but that of mental toughness.

Top 10 run getters in IPL 2026. Only Abhishek Sharma and Sooryavanshi are ahead of KL Rahul in terms of Strike Rate. Stats don’t lie. Why so much of unnecessary hate on KLR ?

@carlwheless The latter beats the living hell out of the former any given day. There is no competition. You have to eat it to know the difference, @carlwheless

Let me start a good-natured fight! Which is better? Mangos from Mexico or Mangos from India? 😁

@wmakarand @RishabhPant17 : you should read this^

Very good analysis by Zubin Bharucha oo Rishab Pant's grip.

@its_The_Dr Bird was a legend for a reason. Definitely in my top 5 basketball players of all time. MJ is the undisputed king amongst kings

Wow, Michael Jordan in his Rookie Prime got Humbled by Larry Bird. They became close friends. But Bird Humbled him.

@CricketopiaCom He struggled overseas because he had zero footwork to counter the moving ball. Did not get exposed at home where the ball hardly moves.

Remember Sadagoppan Ramesh? When Sadagoppan Ramesh debuted against Pakistan in Chennai (1999), he batted like he owned the backyard, handling Wasim & Waqar with ease. Consistent runs, a few tons, and India found a classy opener. But after struggles abroad & despite doing well in SL 2001, he was dropped mysteriously.

It’s ironic that Dravid told him to read the fingers of the spinners yet under him the players continued to read the spinning deliveries off the wicket. It’s a problem that has plagued the current set of subcontinent players since the last ten years which is why they have become average players of spin

2010 @KP24 reached out to Dravid to help him play spin better, Dravid landed up replying to him in what KP till date says is the most important read for any modern day batter on how to play on turning tracks. He also played one of the best knocks by an overseas batter vs India at mumbai, that 186 was so special. Our Indian batters should also take notes from this and their game in home conditions should improve.

@himganj153 Looks as good as Sachin’s straight drive 😋, @himganj153

@batman_shots Thanks a lot for sharing this.

DC just released a 14-minute recap of The Batman and The Penguin on YouTube— I love this so much 🧷youtu.be/22oNGu_p8Fs?si…

The only true king of spin. Hollywood for a reason. The only guy I know who could make the most boring, one sided games into thrillers.

@nibraz88cricket The greatest cricketer Pakistan ever produced. They are yet to produce a captain who had nearly 1% of Imran's cricketing acumen.

Legendary Imran Handled the heated moment by hitting two sixes 🔥 #Cricket

@Loyalsachfan10 Shahid Nazir who 😂? Seems like Wasim and Waqar didn't teach him properly how to work on the seam to reverse the ball. Those days the cameras used to be far less also, @LoyalSachinFan

@Yasir_HameedQ Saeed Anwar and Mark Waugh were two players from the 90s era who never did justice to the batting talent they had. Both should have finished with over 10,000 test runs. Mark was a great fielder too. Anwar's fielding was totally the opposite of his batting though.

Real star opener of our childhood and youth

@Fancricket12 Don't forget Cook's contributions with the bat. He made more than 500 runs in that series iirc

@mwaugh7 Tremlett and Anderson combined very well.

Read this carefully. Ricky Ponting is also a part of the set-up that picked up bowlers like Bartlett and Dwarshuis at the Auction table. And Ricky Ponting was also the same captain who looked a distant second to Andrew Strauss over two Ashes rubbers without McGrath and Warne. And without McGrath and Warne, looked quite average over two tours to India. So he isn't some God.

@Fancricket12 that's what i had in my mind earlier but i thought that Clarke was the captain by then. Thanks for reminding me. It was a series to remember for Chris Tremlett. Gave the Aussies plenty of trouble with his short stuff.

@mwaugh7 He did lose an Ashes at home: the 2010-11 series. And I have talked about it in the second post of this short thread.

If you want to consider all sports, then you might wanna look up to names like Don Bradman, Ali, Pele, Maradona etc. I think some of them might be ahead of MJ. He might be the greatest basketball player of all time, but he has some tough competition in front of him when all sports are taken into account.

I believe that Michael Jordan is the undisputed GOAT of, not just the NBA, but all of professional sports history. Did I get it right, or is it someone else?? 🤔🤔

@Fancricket12 Correction: he didn't lose an Ashes at home, but it was an away Ashes loss in 2009

Ponting's success rate as a captain was pretty much due to Warne & McGrath. After their retirement, Ponting lost an Ashes at home as well. The 2 WC wins would have been achieved under any other captain as well since those 2 Aussies sides were full of legends. Ponting tends to pick Aussie players in IPL for some strange reason, @Fancricket12

@Urrmi_ @__beinghooman__ hear this guy out

90s kids assemble!!! ❤️🤌🏼 Can't thank @/abhi_makesmusic on insta enough for this therapy! 😁

@__beinghooman__ In terms of performance, Rehman Dakait's canvas was much bigger than Dharamveer's.
