History made. 🇮🇩
Sudhakar Jegannathan smashed an unbeaten 204 off 138 balls* against Uzbekistan in the ACC Men’s Challenger Cup 2026, becoming the first Indonesian player to score an international double century.
18 fours. 14 sixes.
Alag hi level ka banda 🔥
Indian football exclusive tk toh samajh aarha hai par ye bhaiji apne sports ministry, PMO ka bhi exclusive de rhe aab…
in the era of GOAT he the SHER 🦁
The FIFA World Cup is, no doubt, the biggest global single-sport tournament, with a quarter of all countries present. But if you go by population, the numbers are interesting.
The 20 countries that took part in the 2026 Cricket T20 World Cup have a population of 2.50 billion people.
The 48 countries that are taking part in the 2026 Football World Cup have a combined population of only 2.25 billion!
The gap would be more if Bangladesh hadn't dropped out this year - the combined population of countries playing in the 2024 T20 World Cup was a whopping 2.65 billion.
Obviously India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan contribute hugely to those numbers - but countries like Italy have also chipped in - present for the cricket T20 World Cup but not football!
It's also interesting that out of the top 10 countries by population in the world, only 2 are playing the FIFA World Cup - the US and Brazil! India, China, Indonesia, Pakistan, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Russia and Ethiopia are all missing.
Having said that, it's certainly true that football is still the biggest global sport because virtually all countries in the world will watch this World Cup! Cricket would not be watched by the vast majority of nations.
Cricket's Olympic status has become a game-changer for China, who is receiving govt funding after a period in the wilderness.
Their women's team is rising & qualified for the Asian Games.
But Chinese cricket remains shadowy and difficult to report on

🚨 EXCL: Sports Ministry has sent a Sports Passport proposal to the PMO that could allow eligible PIO/OCI athletes to represent India. https://t.co/Ba4DPSGcCt
The move could impact football, basketball & tennis as India eyes improved performances on the global stage and prepares its bid for the 2036 Olympics. 🇮🇳
A major development for #Indianfootball. Details via @KhelNow👇
So @FIFAWorldCup broadcaster @ZEE5India has pulled a financial bait-and-switch over Indian consumers
- Promised 3 devices will be allowed for the World Cup subscription
- After people signed up, they changed it to just 1 device
@jagograhakjago please take a look
Cricket will be part of the 2027 Southeast Asian Games in Malaysia.
It will be played at the flashy new 5000 capacity ground in Borneo complete with floodlights.
Another potential venue for T20 franchise leagues like the BBL to play some games
