This is an appreciation post for @Saurabh_Unmute & shahi saab . Despite being a sailor Iran skipped my world view suffering sanctions since my birth.Never had a clue what Iran is all about. Go watch @TheRedMike reports on Iran & celebrate the rare earth standard of journalism.

@shantanug_ @JohnBrittas @yadavakhilesh @narendramodi @myogiadityanath UP Police keeps crime in check by avoiding FIRs & settling things outside with facilitation payment. The model is fine but a bit costly for the poor. Govt can subsidize it.

.@JohnBrittas Ji ! IMR in Uttar Pradesh has declined significantly since around 2016–17 (in the times of your friend @yadavakhilesh) — from about 50 to ~38 per 1,000 live births (In the times of @narendramodi & @myogiadityanath) JES deaths in eastern UP which were thousands in @yadavakhilesh’s ear are now ZERO. Btw as per NCRB Crime rate in India 2023, Crimes per lakh population of Uttar Pradesh is 335 and Kerala is 1,631. Kerala’s per-capita crime rate is nearly 5× higher. @smitaprakash

@kartik_kannan Two wrongs don't make right. Every 2nd post of yours is reacting to any critique of this regime. Where is the Test cricket fund which jay shah announced on day 1 of his swearing. What is the fan experience of watching a game in India? Quality of cricket now?

Is India 'bullying' or simply bearing the weight of global cricket's future? Mukul Kesavan’s 'King Kong' view misses the forest for the trees. Without the 'Indian Engine,' the 2026 T20WC wouldn't be a 20-team celebration—it would be a dying product. Let’s look at the resource math, not just the rhetoric. I happen to read this piece. You can criticise the BCCI, but you must be mindful of applying the same yardstick to other countries as well. The article suggests the BCCI’s power is a "nakedly coercive juggernaut. India isn't just a consumer of power but the primary provider of the game's "Oxygen" India generates over 70% of ICC revenues. In any other global industry, the primary stakeholder naturally takes a leadership role in governance This capital doesn't just stay in Mumbai; it funds the development of Associate nations and women's cricket globally. Without the "Indian Engine," the financial ecosystem for teams like Zimbabwe or Nepal—who have provided the 2026 World Cup's best stories—would likely collapse. The piece also critiques the "toxins" of franchise cricket. From the way, I see it, the IPL and the proliferation of Indian-owned leagues have actually democratized the sport for players, making it a worthwhile career option. Before the "Indian influence," a cricketer's livelihood was at the mercy of their national board. Today, a player from the West Indies or Namibia can achieve financial security through global leagues. I met Carlos Brathwaite recently in Goa, and this is the exact point we spoke on, how he is able to look at leagues for his income, instead of being on a 80K USD contract for the West Indies. The author highlights historic instances of bullying but ignores the "Weighting" of India’s contributions to struggling boards. The article mentions the 1996 joint tour to Sri Lanka during the civil war. That wasn't an isolated event; India has consistently been the first to tour nations like Zimbabwe or South Africa (post-apartheid) to help rebuild their commercial viability. The 2026 Super 8 qualification of Zimbabwe proves that "Indian influence" hasn't stifled others; it has provided a more lucrative stage for the world to perform on. Politics and sport are entwined globally (from the Ashes to the Olympics). Singling out India ignores the historical hegemony of the "Old Guard" and the current reality of who is actually growing the game.

@NalinisKitchen The sooner people like you get shot in the head the quicker the nation will start healing. When you don't know shit just stick to cooking or whatever the f you know. I am being harsh but your profile keeps coming on my timeline for a long time now. You are a psycho.

- They can pay ₹10,000 for a flight ticket. - They can pay ₹3,000 for a branded t shirt. - They can pay ₹500 for Starbucks coffee. - They can pay ₹1,000 for a taxi to reach the airport. - They can pay ₹5,000 for liquor at a party. - They can pay ₹2,000 for a dinner. - They can pay ₹300 for popcorn in a cinema hall. But they don't have ₹100 to buy a samosa at the airport.

@kartik_kannan He also said with Power comes responsibility. Two wrongs don't make a right. In your world BCCI should demolish ICC & we should watch 8 months of IPL. You are also milking engagement in his name & tomorrow while your commute you will also flip to another fable.

@rameshsrivats Such posts were classics in the initial days of social media. Gen z would need AI to know what SAARC is. You need to dumb down to gain engagement again.

The USD to INR exchange rate has moved from India (+91) to Pakistan (+92). Next stops: Afghanistan (+93) and Sri Lanka (+94). In case you didn't get it, this is a SAARCastic post.

@hemantbuch This is an easy one for someone like you who has been around forever. If he adds more weapons in his off break he will probably be around for a long time.

Almost exactly 3 years back, I predicted this would happen..🙂

@Vimalwa You are also helping make it relevant by doing the opposite on digital.

Print media will never go out of fashion as long as you have writers like him.

@RohitKoul_23 @Vimalwa The word is hyphenation. If you can spend 5 min on it then you can understand difficult topics like this. Unfortunately I feel looking at your bio your dictionary ends at Proud. Why did you join this platform if you can't write?

@Vimalwa From the headline it seems he is keeping India and Pakistan at the same pedestal. Equating India with an Islamic terror state isn't doing service to "journalism".

@kamleshksingh Posts like this have kept you in the news business for decades. Your newsrooms have had Pak chalisa making easy money for decades. You clearly don't have any passion for any sport. When are you going to be run over by a Thar should be the question you should ask yourself.

The strongest 3 arguments for India playing Pakistan in Asia Cup 1. Did we not participate in the SCO in spite of Pakistan's presence? 2. Did Neeraj Chopra not compete against Arshad Nadeem in Tokyo? 3. Have we not already avenged Pahalgam with Op Sindoor? Well, 1. We did not have a bilateral in Tianjin. Pakistan's presence didn't matter. Pakistan exists so it will be present in places where we too are. Like your neighbour goes to the same grocery store but you don't say hi to him because he is an asshole. 2. Neeraj did not play against Nadeem. That sport doesn't pit one against the other like cricket or hockey does. No interaction needed. It's like you and that rubbish fella standing in the same queue at the airport, doesn't mean you help with his luggage. He is a rubbish fella. Let the bugger stumble and fall for all you care. 3. The boycott isn't meant to avenge Pahalgam. The defence forces did that by bombing the terror camps and later pummelled enough airbases to keep their men at work for months. The no cricket policy, if ever, will be a signal that we are serious about keeping no relations with a state that sides with terrorists. No relations means no cultural or sports exchanges. Zero. That we will give them a walkover is the weakest argument. They can walk away with a cup for all we care. No means no touch points. We can't choose our neighbours but we can choose to have absolutely no business with the neighbour who keeps throwing firebombs into our compound. The only business acceptable is a firebomb from this side. Letting the kids play gully cricket while the neighbour sharpens his sword is called not learning a lesson ever. Screw sporting etiquettes. Screw ICC. Screw BCCI. Screw the sports ministry's myriad majbooriyan. And curse the Asia Cup.

@tushmath @janniksin Why are you guys hell bent on using Novak DP & ruining his name writing all this shit. I know you guys don't watch sports & are only here for engagement.

These were the doper @janniksin losses in the year before we first know that he tested positive for banned substances - he was losing to Korda, Altamier, Russuvori, Lajovic, Cerundulo etc And now he is literally untouchable on any surface.. HOW can you ignore the fact that his rise to the top coincided with him testing positive for banned substances It’s an absolute disgrace that he continues to be shamelessly promoted and celebrated when clearly his meteoric rise to the top is clouded by double standards and a preferential treatment and ignoring the obvious facts @atptour @itia_tennis #Tennis

@VibhuBhola Chalo aaj ki roti @RishabhPant17 ke naam. Injury mai bhi kisi ke ghar chalane ka theka lena ye achi baat to nahi hai. Ye stray journos pe bhi order aana jaruri hai. balle ka handle jaayega tab sudhar aayega.

@kamleshksingh Tau apki फौरन policy ki samjh next level hai. ek baar aap character mai jaate hai to toba tek singh se pehle wapas nahi aate.

Not a member but still drops Donald's bete noire BRICS at the end of the tweet. Then Raksha Mantri reveals it. Samjhe? Khidki khuli hai phir Janaab -e-Macron ki, Khushboo sii aa rahi hai idhar #Safran ki

@chand2579 Sad you are the forefront of opinion makers. Which top team uses 7 bowling options how many times in a big tournament. 2-3 proper all rounders is more than enough even in T20 cricket. even now one of kuldeep/varun will sit out to protect batting.

In a T20I squad you can have at the most two batters who don’t provide a second skill. Jaiswal and SKY are that. iyer and Gill don’t offer anything with the ball, it is a waste of resources. In a T20I squad you need to have as many multi skilled lads as possible

@SurajSSubraman1 GOAT is social media stupidity for engagement. Sport outlives everyone. There have been so many GOATs who have come & gone whom you have not seen. Those who love the sport cherish everyone & have their favourites but it cant be only one person for each sport.

@talk2avi19 First, tell this to all those fools who try to keep the GOAT debate going. It's not even close. Djokovic is way ahead of Federer and Nadal. I am speaking facts, you argue with me 🤦‍♂️. You will remain 🤫 when people spread fake narratives/agenda/propaganda 🤦.

Hi 👋 Fedal widows (Sincaraz fans) who are mocking Djokovic. Sinner needs another 63 big titles to equal Djokovic. Alcaraz needs another 60 big titles to equal Djokovic. If you want to know how far that is, Federer won 54 big titles and Nadal won 59 big titles in their careers.

@SurajSSubraman1 @TennisPuneet So is the earth flat or round ? You seem like a very knowledgeable conspiracy theory expert. How did you become like this? Do we have classes for this ?

@talk2avi19 @TennisPuneet Djokovic himself said he didn't watch the Roland Garros final. Sinner failing multiple drug tests. Alcaraz with all those abnormal Varicose Veins popping out like Nadal.

Why did the ITIA not request a hair sample from Jannik Sinner?

@SurajSSubraman1 You don't understand the basic meaning of sport. In everything you write you will have to mention the opponent as they are integral to the story. That is why they show respect to each other & don't behave like you psychos. You still won't get it.

@talk2avi19 Most frequent opponent on tour : For Federer - Djokovic (50 matches) For Nadal - Djokovic (60 matches) For Murray - Djokovic (36 matches) For Wawrinka - Djokovic (27 matches) Inspite of the toughest path, the guy has every possible record and has won everything multiple times.

@SurajSSubraman1 @TennisPuneet Novak enjoys watching him more than anyone. Maybe Suraj & Novak are different people that way.

@talk2avi19 @TennisPuneet Only fools can enjoy watching a guy winning after failing multiple drug tests.
