The only other time Team India won by over 50 balls to spare while chasing a target of 296+ was at Hobart on 28 Feb 2012, when they successfully chased Sri Lanka's 321 and won by 80 balls to spare. Virat Kohli in that game unbeaten 133 in 86 balls!

@odenhead 'The White Lotus' was good, but 'Better Call Saul' was a notch better.

@vkc1000 Iqbal Qasim belonged to a Gujarati speaking Memon business family from Karachi.
He has a master's degree in economics.
In a career spanning nearly 20 years he finished one short of 1000 FC wickets!

[Mohandas Menon @mohanstatsman]

@ATRightMovies Without a shred of doubt!

@justsanjay I did not say #1 'ranked' team.

[Mohandas Menon @mohanstatsman]

Team India, the #1 T20 team, was almost #RAMENED by the Japanese.
Well done, Japan!

@vidhubalak68786 I thought it was August 1945.

An historic day for Japan tomorrow at Sano, when they take on Team India in their 63rd T20I match. India will be their 24th cricketing opponent, but the first from a full-member nation!
Among the top Associate teams, Japan has played Hong Kong (5), PNG (3), & Oman/Nepal/UAE (1).

@ACScricket DYK?
R Ashwin was just five days old when the Test match in Chennai, in the very city he was born, against Australia ended in a tie in 1986!

[Mohandas Menon @mohanstatsman]

DYK?
At least 12000 athletes will participate in the ongoing #AsianGames in Nagoya, Japan.

The 2024 Paris Summer #Olympics featured only about 10,700 athletes because the IOC enforces much stricter entry standards to manage hosting costs, venues, and village capacity!

@ACScricket His only stint as an actor, albeit as an extra, came in an Academy Award-winning Best Picture movie of 1981.

@GAURAVKAUTISH21 @ATRightMovies Old enough to watch a A certified movie.

@RicFinlay Watched him bowl at the nets at the Wankhede Stadium in 1977.
Had a strange bowling action.
Missed a hat-trick on Test debut thanks to captain Mike Brearley's magnanimity.

@scorpionyasir1 UPDATE!
Salman Aga yesterday became the 21st Pakistani to register the 23rd triple century in FC cricket, with Hanif Mohd and Imran Farhat doing it twice!
Hanif (in Bridgetown) and Azhar Ali (in Dubai) are the only batters to do it outside Pakistan!

[Mohandas Menon @mohanstatsman]

@scorpionyasir1 20 triple-tons have been registered by Pakistani batters in Fc cricket!

[Mohandas Menon @mohanstatsman]

@unknown_indian Yes, indeed!
