Indian cricket's number one thing going forward will be managing all the remaining 5-6 batsmen in their playing XI.
To get them to play without comparing themselves with that other batsman who is a total phenomenon.

[Anand Kumar Singh @OutOnAWeekend]

and the par score is not 200, you will need a batsman like him at one end. So the openers in next WC might well be - Vaibhav and Gill. FWIW though, if Gill is in team Iyer will feel pressure on his captaincy.

[Anand Kumar Singh @OutOnAWeekend]

The next T20 WC is actually where Gill could be handy. Pivoting to him in Asia Cup last year wasn't just unfair to Sanju Samson but also plain unwise.
On subcontinental pitches he is not your T20 opener. But in conditions where the new ball is doing things

> I played for 18 years consecutive I never was injured, I never pulled a muscle, never went off the field. I think that is good a record as making runs and getting wickets and performing.

When it comes from Mr. Gary Sobers himself, that means something

GG has basically turned out to be India's version of McCullum. Stubborn persistence with radical ideas that have led to sustained losses frequently interrupted by some famous wins.

No matter how complex a subject, your deck has to be 10 slides long at max.

Anything more implies you either don’t understand the subject well enough or that you have engaged in fluff. The same holds for docs too.

The last time anyone had generated such excitement even before their international debut was Joffra Archer in ~2019.

🗣️"He is the best T20 player in the world!"

Michael Vaughan is in awe of 15 year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi who has taken the cricket world by storm 😱

[Anand Kumar Singh @OutOnAWeekend]

@mukulkesavan Just finished 'Homeless on Google Earth' and thoroughly enjoyed it. Why though, have you not bothered mentioning the publication date with any article there. The context matters.

[Anand Kumar Singh @OutOnAWeekend]

@prempanicker 💯 There is no replicating the 'first times' ever, in anything.

I developed an iOS app last month, very happy with how it turned out.

[Anand Kumar Singh @OutOnAWeekend]

@mukulkesavan The thing that elevates him above the lopsidedness in IPL is how much better he is at it that than others. Tom Moody articulates it beautifully on why it's worth unqualified appreciation.

Bradman and Sooryavanshi mentioned in the same sentence 😵

[Anand Kumar Singh @OutOnAWeekend]

@mukulkesavan Awaiting a piece from you on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. No way he hasn't captured your imagination.

[Anand Kumar Singh @OutOnAWeekend]

@joybhattacharj When has he ever not scored truckloads. This argument is pointless unless accompanied by his strike rate.

FWIW, this season -
Abhishek: 563@204
Kishan: 602@182
Sanju: 477@165
Gill: 722@163

Is there a compelling case still?

[Anand Kumar Singh @OutOnAWeekend]

Tom Moody is the Ajay Shah of cricket punditry. Brilliantly articulate and measured

[Anand Kumar Singh @OutOnAWeekend]

@TimesNow @madhavgk @QuadriSamar Mr. Vedam J is confusing Jurel w Jitesh Sharma. And that Emerging Players tournament was in Doha, not England

[Anand Kumar Singh @OutOnAWeekend]

@Kilaruness @ashwinravi99 It was a constant oscillation between an offended native and a realist cricket spectator

Happiness is a Mukul Kesavan prose.

[Anand Kumar Singh @OutOnAWeekend]

@Dimillian When a programming language has developed 225+ keywords, don’t bother.
Its not practically digestible by a human being, and LLMs too should be aggressive in discarding what is achievable through existing means.

[Anand Kumar Singh @OutOnAWeekend]

@ddflj3310 Modern day (Flipboard’s) Flex then?

[Anand Kumar Singh @OutOnAWeekend]

Get Jaiswal early, before his partner has taken off. That is the only way to have a grip on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Every single time he has gone berserk in IPL, his ballistics have started before Jaiswal got out.
Jaiswal's dismissal is what makes him conscious.
