Here is the video of me asking Virat Kohli the first question in his post match press conference yesterday! #ENGvsIND #ViratKohli

[Arjun Bhardwaj @ArjunB_74]

The problem India has is that too many debutants have excelled recently... Kishan, Suryakumar and Krunal have all been phenomenal. How are they going to pick their established top order? #ENGvsIND

[Arjun Bhardwaj @ArjunB_74]

Hussain: “if you loose three wickets in the powerplay you have an 80% chance of losing”. Certainly a useful statistic but not particularly surprising? Losing your three best batsmen in the first five overs surely puts you heavily on the back foot... #INDvENG

[Arjun Bhardwaj @ArjunB_74]

Outrageous shot from Rishabh Pant - simply fearless to reverse ramp a 90 mph delivery. He is in some truly remarkable form, the same can’t be said about Kohli though... #INDvENG

[Arjun Bhardwaj @ArjunB_74]

Pant lives by the sword and dies by the right-arm part-time spin of Joe Root... #INDvsENG

[Arjun Bhardwaj @ArjunB_74]

*Pant walks out to bat*

Sunil Gavaskar: 'I wonder how Pant will play today, will he go after Jack Leach?'

I think Pant only knows how to play in one fashion... #INDvsENG

From 74-2 to 98-8, what a a spectacular collapse from England! After all the talk of the importance of seam, it has been the spinners who have surprisingly done the damage. Looking forward to seeing how Anderson and Archer respond this evening... #INDvsENG

[Arjun Bhardwaj @ArjunB_74]

It is absurd that the Mumbai Indians bought Arjun Tendulkar. Not only is it blatant nepotism, but it is disrespectful to so many other hardworking players who have been overlooked. For context, Arjun Tendulkar is a bowler with a T20 economy of over 9.5. #IPLAuction #IPL2021

[Arjun Bhardwaj @ArjunB_74]

Maxwell is surely massively overpriced at 14.25 crore, amazing how he has attracted such a large price tag after a dreadful season last time out. Feels bizarre that Hales is unsold for 1.5 crore, but Maxwell gets bought at nearly ten times the cost... #IPLAuction2021 #RCB

[Arjun Bhardwaj @ArjunB_74]

Smith to Delhi... surely has to be the Ponting connection. Would have been interesting if RCB had won him, watching him bat with Kohli would have been surreal! #IPL2021Auction

[Arjun Bhardwaj @ArjunB_74]

Now that the Kings XI Punjab have rebranded as Punjab Kings, I can only hope that their auction strategy has been revamped too. They are always the most underwhelming side in the auction. #IPLAuction2021 #PunjabKings

[Arjun Bhardwaj @ArjunB_74]

Completely agree with this - I still remember turning up to Lords on Day 1 in 2014 and not being able to see the wicket it was that green. India won the Test (but lost the series) - of course playing in overseas conditions is hard, but all teams have to adjust. #INDvsENG

[Graeme Swann @Swannyg66]

I have no problem at all with a pitch offering this much spin (hardly a surprise naturally). We prepare green pitches to suit our bowlers at home when deemed necessary so it’s fair game. We should be taking notes on how to excel from @ImRo45 @RishabhPant17 and @ashwinravi99

[Arjun Bhardwaj @ArjunB_74]

Huge turn from Axar already... I think this Test is over by tea tomorrow. Hats off to Ashwin for an incredible century, he’s somehow made batting look easy on this pitch. #INDvENG

[Arjun Bhardwaj @ArjunB_74]

@jamespriceglos @Gilesyb @izzywestbury Best tweet I’ve seen for a while!

[Arjun Bhardwaj @ArjunB_74]

That’s tough to see...

[Cricbuzz @cricbuzz]

💔 for James Vince but Sydney Sixers thrash Perth Scorchers by 9 wickets to reach #BBL10 finals ✈️

[Arjun Bhardwaj @ArjunB_74]

It’s great to see Pujara finally get the recognition and praise he deserves. He’s been a rock for and a consistent run scorer for years. Although he may not be the most glamorous, his sheer mental strength and grit is truly admirable #AUSvsIND

[Arjun Bhardwaj @ArjunB_74]

@jamespriceglos @izzywestbury Hahaha I’m tempted...

[Arjun Bhardwaj @ArjunB_74]

What a win! The best Indian test victory in recent years, if not all time! #AUSvIND

[Arjun Bhardwaj @ArjunB_74]

Which way is this one going? #AUSvsIND

[Arjun Bhardwaj @ArjunB_74]

When do India start to think properly about the win? #AUSvsIND

[Arjun Bhardwaj @ArjunB_74]

This is the very embodiment of the phrase “one brings two”. Top work from Sundar and Shardul. If Australia lose another wicket here it could get exciting #brisbanetest #AUSvsIND
