@cricbuzz After today’s World Cup results, should Group 1 be called “Unbeaten group” & Group 2 be renamed “Beaten group” 😁

#HeyCB Hello DK, having excellent wicketkeeping options, like Pant, Kishan, Samson, etc waiting in the wings, what are your thoughts on having a non-regular WK for team India?

[Sunil Thummala MD @TX_neurologist]

Example of an article filled with lies & fabrications by a pseudo-intellectual pretending as a journalist. @CNN should be ashamed for giving a platform to such liars who sneakily insert false information into articles to spread their propaganda.

We’re in the middle of a pandemic and there is a shortage of healthcare workers. I spoke with @Fox59 about my bill to give visas to qualified doctors and nurses like Dr. Singh to help fight the #coronavirus without displacing American workers.

New: @SenToddYoung updates us on the Healthcare Workforce Resilience Act. @neothakur is one of thousands of U.S. trained physicians calling on lawmakers for help. He has been trying to get permanent residency for 18 years. Will change come soon? @FOX59 https://t.co/ZvFBAITYmZ
