Indian fans love cricketers like Kane, AB, Baz, Faf & many other Kiwis & Safricans because to us they are 'genuine nice and humble guys'.
Historically we've disliked Australian cricketers cos of their supposed cockiness & them being arrogant and ungracious in victory. Because they've always played with the attitude of 'I mean business, my job is to win. I'm not here to please anyone.'
Allan Border. Steve Waugh. Ricky Ponting. Shane Warne. Glenn Mcgrath. Michael Clarke. That Aussie culture has given them so much success over the years as we all know.
Cummins is a rare exception & a whiff of fresh air. He's a genuine nice guy, who smiles a lot & revels in the success of his mates. He also fights for climate change. Ever since he took over as captain, he posts Instagram posts for his fellow Aussies whenever they do well. Story kooda illa, post. Vera evan pannuvaan ipdi?
By being all the above, he proved he's still an Aussie thoroughbred when he said 'In sport, there's nothing more satisfying than making a big crowd go silent & that's the aim for tomorrow'. Pure villainy, but delivered with a smile.
But here's thing. Even though I wanted him to eat his words, I laughed it off because it was genuinely funny coming from Cummins. Imagine, idhuvey oru Ponting oh Mcgrath oh sollirndha, we'd have gone rogue.
Pat Cummins is different. Don't get me wrong, he still kills you like Ponting... but he kills you with his success & buries you with his smile.
Mbappe and Haaland have scored a combined 97 goals in 2022.
Two incredible players that are breaking records and terrifying defences across Europe.
Just a reminder that Messi scored 91 goals in 2012 on his own 😳🐐
One of the greatest games ever. Well played Argentina and France. Jogo Bonito. Nobody deserves it more than #messi, imho the greatest ever to play the game. What a swansong. #FIFAWorldCup
When players like Messi and Neymar who are actually good at football talk to media, they talk more about team or talk about friends and family. When Ronaldo talks, either he is slandering someone or is busy explaining why he is goat😂😂
Lionel Messi leaving Barcelona: "I behaved with humility and respect and I hope that's the memory that will be left of me."
Cristiano Ronaldo 'leaving' #MUFC: "If you don’t have respect for me, I’m never gonna have respect for you.”
That's the difference.
One of the great stories of the brand that is Indian Premier League. Thala Dhoni and Chennai will remain a connection like very few. Chennai was fortunate to have a leader like him and the support and love he has got from owners and the city has been unbelievable.
This is PURE GOLD❤️❤️
नोएडा की सड़क पर कल रात 12 बजे मुझे ये लड़का कंधे पर बैग टांगें बहुत तेज़ दौड़ता नज़र आया
मैंने सोचा
किसी परेशानी में होगा , लिफ़्ट देनी चाहिए
बार बार लिफ़्ट का ऑफ़र किया पर इसने मना कर दिया
वजह सुनेंगे तो आपको इस बच्चे से प्यार हो जाएगा ❤️😊
