How sweet Sachin Tendulkar stood next to his daughter in law to make sure she doesn't feel left out as Arjun was not there.

He is really the sweetest gem person on planet !

BJP was in opposition for decades.

But BJP supporters never cheered for foreign countries against India.

Ben Stokes is every batter who’s tapped out to Jasprit Bumrah & wondered what the point of holding a bat was in the first place. A perfect ode to his 150th Test wicket #IndvEng

[Sunil Shukla @realsunilshukla]

कुछ ब्रिटिश क्रिकेट प्रशंसक यह जानकर निराश हो गए हैं कि देशों के लिए अलग-अलग वीज़ा आवश्यकताएं हो सकती हैं, और केवल ब्रिटिश पासपोर्ट रखने से कहीं भी अप्रतिबंधित प्रवेश की गारंटी नहीं मिलती है।

शोएब बशीर पाकिस्तानी मूल के ब्रिटिश क्रिकेटर हैं और उन्हें भारतीय वीज़ा की प्रक्रिया के लिए अतिरिक्त दस्तावेजों की आवश्यकता है, जो उन्होंने उपलब्ध नहीं कराए। इसलिए उनका भारत में प्रवेश वर्जित है.

भारत में पाकिस्तानी मूल के किसी भी व्यक्ति के लिए वीज़ा की सख्त आवश्यकताएं हैं क्योंकि पाकिस्तानी मूल के अमेरिकी डेविड हेडली ने यहां 26/11 की साजिश रची थी।

ब्रितानी लोग आश्चर्यचकित होने का अभिनय कर रहे हैं और चिल्ला रहे हैं, जैसे कि उन्हें इस प्रक्रिया के बारे में पता ही नहीं था। पाकिस्तानी विरासत वाले अंग्रेजी टेस्ट टीम के दूसरे खिलाड़ी रेहान अहमद को पहले ही वीजा दिया जा चुका है क्योंकि उन्होंने आवश्यक कागजी कार्रवाई पूरी कर ली थी। 2019 में, साकिब महमूद को इंग्लैंड लायंस के भारत दौरे से बाहर कर दिया गया था, जबकि मोइन अली 2022 आईपीएल सीज़न में देर से पहुंचे क्योंकि दोनों ने अपनी कागजी कार्रवाई में देरी की।

वे जानते हैं कि पाकिस्तानी मूल के लोगों को भारत में प्रवेश करने के लिए अतिरिक्त कागजी कार्रवाई की आवश्यकता होती है, लेकिन वे हर बार चूक कर देते हैं और फिर पीड़ित होने का रोना रोते हैं या नस्लवादी व्यवहार करते हैं।

So this is an issue only when it could potentially happen with English cricketers because of IPL in future but when it happens to Dutch and Scottish cricketers because of English counties everyone looks the other way ? @MichaelVaughan @Athersmike @mipaltan

Neerja Bhanot: The Indian Air Hostess Who Sacrificed Her Life to Protect Three Children from Gunfire

Neerja Bhanot, a courageous 22-year-old Indian flight attendant, found herself at the center of a harrowing incident when Pan Am Flight 73 was hijacked by terrorists during a layover in 1986.

The terrorists wasted no time in demonstrating their brutality by executing an Indian-American passenger and discarding his body from the plane. They then demanded Bhanot to collect all the passports of the passengers to identify Americans among them. Instead, Bhanot made a bold decision. She covertly hid the passports of the 43 American passengers, concealing some under seats and disposing of others in the trash.

After 17 agonizing hours of being held hostage, the terrorists began detonating explosives and opening fire. In an act of extraordinary bravery, Bhanot took action. She managed to open the airplane doors and, rather than fleeing to save herself, she selflessly guided other passengers towards safety. Tragically, she was struck by a bullet in the head while shielding three young American children from the hail of gunfire. Despite her sacrifice, Bhanot's heroic actions led to the rescue of 42 out of the 44 American passengers onboard.

One of the children whom Bhanot protected, then a 7-year-old, went on to become a captain of a major airline. He credits Bhanot as his eternal inspiration, acknowledging that he owes every single day of his life to her selfless act of bravery.

@historyinmemes For those interested in knowing more there was a recent (2017) Bollywood (Indian Film Industry) movie on this incident dedicated to Neerja https://t.co/xzwmLMf2bw

Won many Indian critics awards and is a good watch

@beastieboy07 @Gampa_cricket Looking forward to getting my hands on this. Not yet available for pre-order in UK. Releasing it here as well?

@bhogleharsha A home ground is also where he has played all his cricket growing up and hence knows the conditions; unfair to count matches since he became a full time Indian team player. They hardly get a free slot to play domestic matches.

[Radhika Gupta @iRadhikaGupta]

Tweets about “instead of buying a house / car, I could have bought the stock and made 10x more” are dangerous.

Money exists to fulfil goals, not win a race of returns. Life is a balance of saving and spending. Stock returns don’t match the smiles from owning your own home!

@melindafarrell @NatalieGermanos The Viacom Youtube channel is covering it. Live stream works in the UK not sure about SA.

That's the best game of T20 I can remember. Brilliant bowling, brilliant batting. Every bit of possible drama. 90k crowd. Ebb, flow, lurches back and forth. And at the heart of it, a hall of fame piece of magic from Virat Kohli. Remarkable knock, remarkable match. #T20WorldCup
