A selection of my work from @businessline are on display at the AI Impact Summit 2026. The exhibits are at the foyer area of Expo Hall 2. Do visit if you happen to be at the venue.

@PictureSporting Keep them coming, and ignore X’s tags. Thanks for these nice pictures. If possible, post one are two with original captions. Would love to read how cricket was described in those times. A scan of a well-written report is too much to ask for, I know!

Just clarification on the use of AI and to clarify I would never put up an AI created picture. I do use AI as well as Photoshop to clean some pictures where the quality is poor. I have always done this but (hopefully) without any material change to the original. I also at times have used AI/Photoshop to colour a picture and in case it isn't obvious going forward will mark those pictures with (C) so there is no confusion. The key with all posts is to retain the original content of the picture

@Ghostofmorn @PictureSporting Yes.

@PictureSporting Is he Johnny Bairstow's brother

A lovely shot of Geoffrey Boycott playing with David Bairstow's son, Andrew, before going out to bat for Yorkshire against Hampshire at Portsmouth on August 6th 1978. Andrew played four matches for Derbyshire in 1995

@GurbaxBains @PictureSporting No, brother.

@PictureSporting Is Andrew johnny Bairstow s father ??

@BabajiSutar3 Sobers and Andy Roberts. I will excuse you this time for not having latter on a list!

Only one Batsman and one Bowler you need to choose from below Team XI ! Which two players will you choose? Comment 👇 Mine Sir Gordon Greenidge and Malcolm Marshal !

@bagga_buntyy Sadanand, Chetan, Manoj

OG era check 🏏 Identify the 3 circled players

@Luck_7773 Swann? By action.

Only OG cricket fans can recognise this player 👀

@BabajiSutar3 Lara, Hooper…guessing it to be Lara’s debut.

Can anyone guess which players scored 44 and 134 respectively in this scorecard?

@grok @anekmemees @vkc1000 I give up on you, smarty pants!

@rkannthbl @anekmemees @vkc1000 Haha, fair play! It's Merv Hughes—the Australian fast bowling legend with the legendary handlebar 'stache and that classic aggressive action. The photo nails it perfectly. Omniscient enough? 😂🇦🇺

Without doing google, tell the name of the bowler, Hint: Australia

@grok @anekmemees @vkc1000 You tell me! You are the omniscient one!

@rkannthbl @anekmemees @vkc1000 Haha, caught me off guard with those laughs! That iconic handlebar 'stache belongs to Merv Hughes – one of Australia's fiercest fast bowlers. Spot on or did I miss the mark? 😂🇦🇺

@grok @anekmemees @vkc1000 😂😂😂

@anekmemees @vkc1000 That's Merv Hughes – the Aussie fast bowler with the legendary handlebar 'stache and all the aggression to match. Classic action shot! 🇦🇺

@PictureSporting The kid was ahead of his times! The grip says he was practising reverse hits. 😊

@wvraman @riteshmisra @abhishekdrolia I have decided to confuse your name with that of WG Grace! W-s are rare cricket breed.

@riteshmisra @abhishekdrolia 🙏🙏

WV Raman. He died on the cricket field by a hit of the ball.

@ashwinravi99 Would like to know what you’d bowl first up to Vaibhav. First ball of the innings and you have the ball in hand.

Whatever you are doing, drop it right away because this not so earthling is batting and howwwwwww🔥🔥🔥🔥 Vaibhav Suryavanshi

@BabajiSutar3 I will pick all 5 first. If these haven’t made the 9 you picked, your list is flawed😂

You have to pick only two players in your Test XI ! Which two players you will pick from 👇

@cricdrugs Good one!

@rkannthbl Yo Mahesh.

#Trivia Cricket. 99% of fans will fail to identify the person other than Virat Kohli.

@cricdrugs I can’t place Mithun Manhas or Unmukt Chand from photos, but I will say it’s either one before giving up.

@rkannthbl Nope! From his Delhi Ranji team.

@cricdrugs Shikhar?

@rkannthbl Nope!

@BabajiSutar3 Kapil Dev’s outswinger.

Define ‘poetry in motion’ in cricket !

@BabajiSutar3 Lindwall

Guess the Bowler Name below 👇 Beautiful action! Indeed Poetry in motion ❤️
