Sakshi won the gold medal fair and square but it was really lovely to see her embrace Ruby White and have a few words with her at the end. Ruby, who has been introduced at the arena as 'Pocket Rocket' right through these Games, is only 19.
And she came into the Games with a reputation of being a phenom. Had apparently not lost an amateur bout since she was 11, a win streak that had gone past 70. But ended today.
That's why evidently she was sobbing that much at the end. A first defeat of this nature in goodness how long. Tough for the youngster, but good on Sakshi to have a moment with her vanquished opponent.
@crickashish217 In 70 matches Kohli, Rahane& pujara played together, Kohli avg. 50.8, pujara 43.4, rahane just 38 and, rahane was the one batting at 5, Pujara was facing new ball at 3. unless pitches magically got tougher for him only in these matches, his numbers say everything i need to learn.
2 serious terrr0rist attacks have happened in the last 15 days and Modi said any terrorist attack will be an Act of War, where is he now?
ACT OF WAR ??????
A car was vandalised by Kanwariyas over allegations of desecration in Haridwar, Uttarakhand. Police at the spot could be seen standing as mute spectator.
@crickashish217 u were 10 times more critical of Kohli whose poor run started 3 years after Rahane. i wish people like Vijay, who has a tougher role to play as opener, were offered same long rope AR got
@crickashish217 1- Jadeja was batting 6-7 but, before Pant's promotion, no. 5 wasn't really scoring runs to delay his entry point. faced 2nd new ball OS

apathy and ignorance? ha ha ha.
@BoriaMajumdar In his last 53 Tests, Rahane avged 32. to put this in context, murali vijay, centurion of Brisbane nd trentbridge, top scorer of Eng,2nd best in Aus, 95 at lords, 97 in SA and all this as opener was dropped unceremoniously after averaging 35.12 in 19 Tests in the same time period
@crickashish217 Same avg. overall but jadeja has been better batter and more reliable when bowling and conditions actually got tougher. avg. 33 Rahane vs 44 jadeja since 2018
