Dhoni, Kohli and Rohit's strike rates across IPL seasons. The 3 lines tell 3 different stories, but also interesting to note the post-2023 bull runs for all 3, coinciding with the Impact Player rule.

All the #INDvsPAK theatre aside, why isn't it ever on a pace-friendly pitch? Most contrived matches I remember in recent years have had 10 spinners. Would have loved to see Bumrah on a spicy pitch dishing back the Shoaib Akhtar rib cage attack.

Neeraj Chopra calling over bronze medallist Japan's Genki Dean for a group photo after the Asian Games final last year. Neither Genki nor silver medalist Kishore Jena have made it through to the #Olympics final, but hope Neeraj re-enacts this later tonight. #Paris2024

@stfukarran Higuchi is gold medal favourite. Has 15-1 win loss record over last two years. Aman will have to give the fight of his life, but his form gives hope.

Guys as i don’t follow wrestling much, Aman defeated Abakarov, so what are our chances against Japanese ? Abakarov was so hyped by my fellow sports enthusiasts but Aman won one sided

I think this #Olympics has fried India's brains. #NeerajChopraWinsGold ??

Have this old BTS video of Mirabai Chanu getting her family to pose for a photo. That cupboard in the background will have just the one #Olympics medal. #Paris2024

Wrestler Pappu Yadav on his failed weigh-in at the 1996 #Olympics : "The weigh in was 70 km from the Games village and all Indian officials were at the opening ceremony." The only positive I take from the Vinesh Phogat tragedy is the level of outrage it has caused. #Paris2024

Vinesh Phogat the greatest ever story in Indian sports? Any other contenders? #Paris2024 #wrestling

#Wrestling #Paris2024 VINESH PHOGAT, FIRST INDIAN WOMAN IN AN OLYMPIC FINAL❤️ She blanks Cuba 5-0 in the semi-finals to assure India a medal. Vinesh in tears, coach Woller Akos in tears, India in tears😭 scroll.in/field/1071688/…

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE VINESH!!! Vinesh Phogat has defeated the Tokyo Olympics GOLD medalist jiocinema.com/sports/multisp… #OlympicsonJioCinema #OlympicsonSports18 #JioCinemaSports #Wrestling #Olympics

Tough to be an Indian Sports Fan.

@VAAChandran Hahaha. Incidentally, our judo campaign this time lasted around 10 seconds.

@soiledshoes In Barcelona 1992, India had a judokas, Cawas Billimoria, competing in the 90+ kg category. Even before the journalists in the press-box got his pronunciation from the Indian journalists, he lost the bout.

With the Nishant Dev outrage & the outrage on the red card for Amit Rohidas in Hockey, imagine if India had a strong Rugby Union team & played regular Tests against New Zealand, South Africa, England & Aus? Elon Musk would need more servers, for every decision. #Olympics #Rugby

@VAAChandran Thankfully our only loss in fencing at the Olympics was a pretty convincing one.

@soiledshoes Indeed. Fencing as well.

Top 8 finishes by Indians in #Athletics at the #Olympics in last 40 years: 2004: Anju Bobby George (5th), Women's 4x400 relay team (7th) 2012: Krishna Poonia (6th), Vikas Gowda (8th) 2020: Neeraj Chopra (1st), Kamalpreet Kaur (6th)

@sidin As did Belize.

Nauru has had the shortest Olympics 2024 of any country in the world. It sent one athlete. Who ran the 100m heat in 11 seconds. And did not qualify. That is it. Nauru had an 11-second Olympics.

Taiwan win #Badminton men's doubles gold against China, their 1st gold of #Paris2024. -There are rising concerns in Taiwan of an imminent military blockade by China. -Taiwan's new President is said to be separatist. - Lee and Wang are proudly Taiwanese, thus disliked in China.

A snake shot from Moregard 1 point away from facing gold medal point. #Paris2024

Bengal trying to claim Lakshya Sen after #Olympics heroics. Lakshya earlier on his Bengali-sounding surname: 'Lot of people ask me about it, but my family is from Uttarakhand's Kumaon. Have never heard of a Bengali connection'.

Sift Kaur Samra's scores in qualification over the last year: 2023 World Championships - 589 Asian Games - 594 Munich World Cup 2024 - 593 Trial 1 - 583 Trial 2 - 587 Trial 3 - 589 Trial 4 - 593 Sift's score today at #Paris2024 - 575 (31st of 32)
