Modi ji is eating Jhalmudi & Mamata didi is doing traditional dance on stage. These are highly succesful , egoistic but self motivated individuals who really put in all possible efforts to win. If you're in a competitive field, look at them and learn from them. Don't stop the efforts.

@The_Iron_grey @psychidiaries It is more about doing things you may not do otherwise and keeping comfort and ego aside to get things done. Fundamentals of Management + Leadership.

It’s lonely at the top…

@Mxmushi97 Do you have to use a glove or is that you just can’t catch barehanded?

Unbelievable

Throwback to 15 years ago with the World Cup victory Capturing Dhoni's iconic six on camera and landing just a few seats away from us . The omnipresent @ShuklaRajiv in action @NorthStandGang @kartik_kannan @LongRopeArmy @cricxpert45

@kartik_kannan Saeed Anwar was in imperious form. If he stayed for 10 more overs, it was game over . Aamir Sohail, one always knew wud throw it away after a quickfire 50. What a game !

I remember watching this on TV, and felt Rashid Latif could take the game away from us. Those 2 sixes that he hit was a stark reminder that, this guy could be the new Javed Miandad (with the original one for company at the non striker end). Thankfully none of that happened At 231/5 in 42.3, Pakistan required 47 off 33 balls with 5 wickets in hand, when Rashid got stumped and Javed got run out soon. The game just meandered its way to a finish. What are your memories of this game?

So happy for this guy today 💙🇮🇳

Wankhede does not need a DJ. It functions a lot better without one. x.com/i/status/20295…

If I was in any position of real influence in life, I’d get the @NorthStandGang to travel to every India game at a World Cup! I’m very confident that the crowd in Ahmedabad (which will obviously be a mix of fans from across India) will raise its game on Sunday! I’ll be there too! We are the “12th man”! #T20WC2026Final #INDvNZ

30k wankhede crowd can eat 1.25 lakhs ahmedabad crowd in lunch breakfast and dinner

Player of the match for me is the Wankhede crowd. There wasn’t even one second in the match when they didn’t get behind the Indian team to cheer them up. One of the best, if not the best, stadiums in India for numerous reasons. #T20WorldCup #INDvsENG

@mufaddal_vohra Already got mine, and some extra. Anybody need? Just follow and repost this.

Hardik is probably living life the way he wants to do. He is in his bubble and comes out and plays on a ground. As fans, we need to allow exceptions to what is expected of public personas. We need to focus on their game, and let him be who he wants to be. The easiest thing to do is to draw a correlation between PDA and his cricket preparation, when we hardly know anything of his mental or physical preparation routines While I ask myself, why this probably happens, I can maybe think on the following lines. Public displays of affection (PDA) from a high-profile figure like Hardik Pandya often spark discussion because they represent a deliberate choice to merge a private life with a very public persona. After a period of significant personal transition and public scrutiny following his divorce, Hardik is probably using social media and public appearances to signal a mental reset, with a view to take ownership of his story before different tabloids/social media users frame it differently. Openly embracing a new relationship can be a psychological way of signaling to himself—and the world—that he has moved forward and found a "safe harbor" or "peace amid the storm”, which I think is us fans seeing him in a good mental space. The last World Cup he was coming after a divorce and a media campaign against him during his MI leadership. We saw his reactions in Barbados and Wankhede. As an India Cricketer, that is significant mental agony to go through and still be in the state to perform. Also, Hardik has often described himself as a "very honest and very real person." For someone with that self-image, hiding a relationship might feel like "living a lie," which causes internal stress to a person with his mind space Cricketers probably need their partner as an anchor. We have seen that with Kohli around Anushka, and this is a different version of the same with PDA added in. It’s best we maintain our boundaries as fans and look at the athlete and his mind space, rather than finding random narratives to fit our version of what we see in him through his imagery. We need to respect Hardik, the outlier, who is choosing to express himself and stay authentic to his self

This morning there was an article, quite naturally, in the media that the Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Mohsin Naqvi was unhappy with the team's performance and conveyed his displeasure to the team manager. And that one item explains the single largest reason, beyond the talent, beyond the money and the economics why Indian cricket today is far ahead of Pakistan cricket, and all other Indian sport. For the truth is that in the 21st century at least, whatever happened in the BCCI board rooms did not impact how cricket was run on the ground. I was in ESPN Star Sports when the BCCI was fighting a huge internal battle about broadcast rights, saw Sharad Pawar overthrow Dalmiya and his team, saw Lalit Modi and his vision for cricket. Through that period, the age groups game went on, the Ranji trophy was played regularly. If anything, some of the Challenger and other formats were tweaked for better results. And the IPL was born While at KKR, saw the IPL move to South Africa in a titanic battle between the BCCI and the home ministry. The change of IPL Commissioner, the fixing scam of 2013, the Mudgal committeee, the BCCI being run by an interim President from 2017, the return of the elected body. Through all that India kept playing top level cricket, won two World Cups, dominated the Champions trophy, the test team won in Australia and the IPL just went from strength to strength. There have been seismic changes in the BCCI, but the game on the ground remained unchanged, the show went on, and not one of the administrators allowed that to slip. Or allowed a President, be it Dalmiya or Pawar to dictate player selection for a tour, or saw a board member ordering the coach or captain to change a player. The BCCI endured finally because of its fundamentally strong structure which allowed the game to be insulated from the politics of running a game. And so while stars might come and stars might go, and administrators might come and go, Indian cricket goes on growing. Other Indian sports have done well when driven by either a star perfomer or two or a charismatic administrator, but always stumbled when they left or retired No other Indian sport has this powerful separation between the actual game and its administrators, and nor certainly does Pakistan cricket. And that perhaps is the real story.

Curran gives that “accidentally became important at work and it’s ruining my life” vibes

@BoothCricket he’s thrown the Kishan sink at it

Spot on

There is nothing else I want in the next 24 hours than this match to be rained out. Nothing else.
