Some snark, some self-deprecation, but never abuse. Be civil

Good

David Fincher’s English-language version of ‘SQUID GAME’ is reportedly no longer moving forward at Netflix.

MI's successfully scouted talents (Saika, Sajana) have unfortunately fizzled out

Other scouted talents barely got to bowl (Sanskriti, Jintimani, Parunika) or bat (Kamalini, Humaira) and didn't develop beyond India A level

[Bhelriti @simran132773]

WPL was supposed to groom domestic players but only DC and RCB have done a good job at scouting talents- Sree, Nandini,Shrey. Heck even UPW and GG have given us Kranti and kaashvi whereas you look at the 2 time champion team MI which only survives on Nat and the overseas core.

This is going to be a tougher project to execute than the engineering marvel that is Mumbai Metro Line 3.

Much of the Indian right-wing thinks that citizens exist to serve the government rather than the other way around.

Back in the early 2020s I thought R Sai Kishore and Shams Mulani were next in line for the SLA all rounder spot of Jadeja/Patel

Dubey and Suthar overtaken them both AND Axar Patel

⚡️EXCLUSIVE⚡️

Harsh Dubey and Tanush Kotian will travel with the Indian squad to Sri Lanka as net bowlers.

Bankipur loss reminds me of BJP losing Gorakhpur bypoll in 2017 necessitated by Yogi Adityanath becoming CM

They won in 2019 with 60% votes

[Himanshu (हिमांशु) @Muchonwalihansa]

Only Datia in MP is a worry IMO

-"Sharp drop in Gujarat" is 75% to 67% in a bypoll with 24% lower turnout. Case of lower BJP turnout as they have brute majority
-Bihar bypoll IMO is many NDA voters giving PK a chance, as the electoral majority is not in danger

[Amitabh Dubey @dubeyamitabh]

Sitting governments have won 75% of assembly bypolls since 2014. Voters tend to prefer a ruling party MLA who can get them easier access to schemes and projects.

BJP's defeats in Bihar and Madhya Pradesh, plus the sharp drop in Gujarat vote share, should therefore worry it.

When India hosts the Commonwealth Games in 2030, I hope global-standard media and broadcast operations personnel, work ethics and facilities are in place during Games time and in the lead-up.

The world is looking at India and #Amdavad2030. Would be good for us to get it right.🤞

This is a divorce tip for momma's boys. For men with a strained relationship with their mothers, "you reminded me of mother just now" does the same job

[Kiwi 🥝✨ @KiwiOnTheSticks]

This is a divorce tip

It is immaterial if she is 15 or 25. Shouting profanity is not a crime and the feral mobs doxing her are the real criminals.

Funniest statement I've read recently is प्रधानमंत्री पिता समान‌‌ होते हैं उनका सम्मान करना चाहिए. Pita samaan kaise hain woh? Tum har 5 saal apna baap badalte ho?

[Himanshu (हिमांशु) @Muchonwalihansa]

Gabba heroics of Washington Sundar ensured that Jalaj Saxena never got a Test call-up ahead of him

27yo Tanush Kotian will probably play for India someday, but for now Saaransh pips him on bowling form

[Harsha Bhogle @bhogleharsha]

The selection of Auqib Nabi Dar, and earlier of Saaransh Jain, is an encouraging sign for performers in domestic cricket. It doesn't matter how old you are, if you keep performing, there is a window of opportunity open for you

[Himanshu (हिमांशु) @Muchonwalihansa]

All we have for aura-maxing is the South Asian Games. And we will probably skip the next edition as it supposed to be hosted in Pakistan

IF the next edition happens. Because you know, Pakistan.

[ish @charassiaaa]

CWG is an Australia aura maxing event.
Asian Games is a China aura maxing event.
Olympics is a US aura maxing event.

[Himanshu (हिमांशु) @Muchonwalihansa]

Bumrah needs to put his foot down (gingerly) regarding playing the next few months. Maybe even skip the Asian Games if needed

Test tour of NZ in November is the nearest series where we really need him

[Shivani @meme_ki_diwani]

He should be properly rested for long and shouldn’t play 2027 IPL. We need our goat in best shape for 2027 ODI WC.

[Himanshu (हिमांशु) @Muchonwalihansa]

Once he adds Asian Games and Olympics medals (hopefully Gold), I hope he does

[Jack• @Jackistan45]

Don't know why Bumrah is dragging his T20i career unnecessarily. He already won two wc, pott, potm in final & completed this format with being greatest t20 player. Should retire from T20 for workload management & continue playing odi & test. Winning 2027 wc should be his ultimate priority & gracefully retired with Rohit and Kohli.

Hope this ends this the "FIR for abusing Modiji" crusade, for now

This is one scenario where I support the "Kadi Ninda" approach. It is condemnable, but should not be criminal

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Abuses never solve anything.

Let’s guide the misguided.

Let’s work together.

Let’s work for Bharat.
