@cricinfo I assume you are not counting Vijay Merchant as an opener, though i guess he was for most of his career..

[Amit Gokhale @amitg13]

If so, I do hope there is an announcement today or tomorrow.. he deserves a fitting farewell.. #RohitSharma #EngvsInd fareeerllhttps://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/rohit-sharma-retirement-last-india-england-third-odi-lords-bcci-2027-world-cup-10789964/

@Indianinfoguide Curious to know how it would be enforced though ? Will there be random checks by designated persons inside the coaches ?

13 July and Lords:

2002: Won the Natwest Trophy final chasing 325 thanks to the Yuvi-Kaif show
2026: comprehensively win the first-ever women's test match there.. !!

[Cricinfo @cricinfo]

A famous win for India, with the fourth-biggest winning margin in women's Test history 🙌

[Amit Gokhale @amitg13]

@smitadeshmukh It will make a difference only when the entire connection right from the Inorbit Mall in West to Film City in the east followed by the tunnels to Mulund.. as a single flyover, it will not be used much as it leads to nowhere currently on the Film City side.

@aparanjape And talking of TV and Vijaya Mehta... I read today that she directed 'Lifeline/Jeevanrekha'.. one of my favourite TV series in the early 90s... !!! I cannot find a single episode online now... !

@cricinfo Those 2 sixes in the last over reminded me so much of the 4 sixes hit by Kapil Dev on the very same ground in 1990.. !! #T20WorldCup

[Amit Gokhale @amitg13]

#RILAGM happening... hopefully some big announcements... including who is the @mipaltan captain for #IPL2027 ! 😃

[Amit Gokhale @amitg13]

@spendwiselyx Will the bonus points also be given if the redemption is via the Gold Collection catalogue? There 18k points give a Flipkart/Amazon GV of 6000 or Myntra GV of 7000..

[Amit Gokhale @amitg13]

Looks like bulldozers are working overtime in Mumbai (and in West Bengal too)... which company makes and supplies these ? if listed, may be a good idea to invest... 😀 looks like they will have continued business..

Apart from massive beer and liquor bottles thrown everywhere, hope the effects of having too much alcohol at 3500m have been taken into consideration.. !

@ANI It's the same story every summer in any Himalayan hill station.. !

Here is what @sachin_rt said.. !!!

[Star Sports @StarSportsIndia]

Cricket continues to evolve, and few understand the game better than #SachinTendulkar

In this fascinating conversation, Sachin shares his personal suggestions for T20 cricket and the rule changes he'd love to see in the format.

Do you agree with the Master?

Watch #CricinfoHonours 👉 Star Sports, JioHotstar & Cricinfo!

[Amit Gokhale @amitg13]

What Sachin said yesterday was what I have been saying all along.... !!! Hopefully @BCCI takes note and makes the @IPL a more viewable contest in 2027... !!

[Amit Gokhale @amitg13]

@sunandanlele IPL has long stopped being a contest between bat and ball... One immediate move towards levelling the playing field would be to drop the impact player rule and allow 2 bowlers to bowl 5 overs.. #IPL2026

[Amit Gokhale @amitg13]

In a SWOT analysis of India's tourism sector, ironically, the O and T would be the same... i.e. huge Indian middle class with increasing disposable income... why T ? because the same ppl will litter and destroy whichever places they go to.. civic sense is needed first.. !

[Vijay Kedia @VijayKedia1]

India’s tourism potential is far bigger than most of us realise.

Yes , infrastructure gaps, cleanliness, driving discipline, tourist convenience, ease of payment and general civic discipline remain real and visible challenges. But these are precisely the areas which, if improved meaningfully, can transform tourism into one of India’s largest economic opportunities.

My optimism comes from India’s unmatched diversity and scale. Very few countries offer spirituality, heritage, wellness, mountains, beaches, deserts, wildlife, cuisine and culture all together at this magnitude.

India’s tourism potential goes far beyond just Taj Mahal or Rajasthan palace hotels. Experiences like the Himalayas and Ladakh, Kerala backwaters, Varanasi ghats, Rann of Kutch, Coorg, Andaman Islands, Ranthambore, Jim Corbett, Kaziranga and Gir forests offer something truly unique at a global scale.

Architectural marvels like the Meenakshi Temple, Golden Temple, Kailasa Temple at Ellora and Khajuraho reflect a civilisational depth and artistic heritage that very few countries can replicate.

Places like Bali, Phuket and Vietnam prove what focused execution can achieve.

The raw material is extraordinary. Execution will determine the outcome.

India’s opportunity is even larger -but execution, governance, urban discipline and hospitality standards will ultimately decide how much of this potential we unlock. 🇮🇳

Hardik and Rahane are obvious... a Hardik-Cam Green trade between MI and KKR would be interesting... !! as Akash Ambani made his liking for Green known during the auction #IPL2026

[Harsh Goenka @hvgoenka]

I can safely predict that at least four IPL captains may not be leading their teams next season… and a couple could even step aside before this season ends. Which four you can guess - but it’s fairly obvious!

[Amit Gokhale @amitg13]

Proud to have contributed to this drop... !! #IPL2026

[Indian Tech & Infra @IndianTechGuide]

🚨 The Indian Premier League (IPL) TV ratings have dropped by 18.8% in 2026.

@ccg33k Hi.. I have an Infinia add-on with same 16 digits but linked to a different phone no. and hence having seperate accounts and limits on SmartBuy.. so is it still better to get different numbered
addon ?

@CardMavenIn Yes, atleast till last week (11th), wallet load counted for 5% CB.. i loaded Amazon Pay wallet yesterday so will know by tomorrow if that is being counted.. even with the 2.5-3% extra loading fees and the Rs 299 fee, it gives a neat 1.5-2% return on all UPI spends via wallet..
