Ian Botham was famously asked "who writes your scripts" ... the same could be said of Ben Stokes ... the ball after news of his retirement was broken to the ground
So Stokes wraps up a test win inside 3 days, breaks team protocol, parties all night in the bar, gets into a fight, gets dropped for 1 test, comes back & breaks the opening partnership of 300, bowls 20+ overs, takes 4 wkts with best eco. Sums up his entire career in 5 lines.
Well done, Arjun. ❤️
Proud of the way you’ve carried yourself through this season, always believing in your ability, staying patient, working hard quietly, and remaining positive despite having to wait for your opportunity till the very last match.
Cricket tests patience as much as skill, and you handled both beautifully today.
Keep your feet on the ground, and continue being in love with the game like you always have.
Love you always.👏
Sunil, my friend… here’s to 15 seasons… over 200 wickets… 3 titles and many more with the @KKRiders franchise around the globe!!! You are a magician and we love you like our own family. Big hug for today and always… Be healthy and keep smiling!

First Lata Mangeshkar. Now Asha Bhosle. Different styles, both touched by greatness. So many great songs, for me Umrao Jaan was the cherry on the top. The last survivor of the great era of Rafi, Kishore, Mukesh, Manna Dey, Talat, Geeta Dutt, Lata and Asha is gone and while we use the expression loosely, it is really the end of an era.
When he retires, Bumrah’s name won’t feature on the highest wicket takers list but only those who watched him bowl will tell you how blessed they were to witness a flawless wizard wielding his magic.
So many crucial little performances for India. Tilak Varma at the end, Hardik Pandya everywhere, Axar sensational in the field.... But the diamond that is forever is Jasprit Bumrah.
Jasprit Bumrah... Words fall short to describe his greatness. For me Tendulkar is the Greatest and will remain that way ... but at this stage if someone even says he is even greater than Tendulkar I won't even bother arguing because he deserves that praise
Years of trolling, never got that long rope before Gautam Gambhir regime, shifting the batting position in 2025, lost the form, dropped from the 11 for the World Cup then came back into the mid way and rest is history.
This is the story of Sanju Samson, played one of the most iconic innings ever in Indian T20I history. 🥹♥️
