In the 2013 Champions Trophy warm-up vs Australia, India were 55/5—Rohit, Dhawan, Kohli, Raina, and Vijay all failed. Then came Dinesh Karthik, smashing 146 off 140 balls and lifting India to 308. He has 0 ODI tons, but in that series, he was scoring them for fun! @DineshKarthik

Respect for Messi is falling faster than ever after what we witnessed today. Meanwhile, Ronaldo’s legacy & respect keep growing massively.

At this point, why not just hand Argentina the WC trophy & save everyone the time?

This tournament has raised serious questions. 🌍⚽

[Guinness World Records @GWR]

If that was the last time we see Cristiano Ronaldo at the World Cup, then thanks for the memories 🫡

[Mufaddal Vohra @mufaddal_vohra]

- Played 3 crucial knocks in the T20 WC Knockouts.
- Won the T20 World Cup.
- Won POTT award.
- Got 3 matches after that.
- Dropped from the squad.

SANJU SAMSON - THE HERO OF INDIA IN THE T20 WORLD CUP HAS BEEN DROPPED AGAINST ZIMBABWE. 💔

Unpopular opinion: There should only be ONE "World Cup" in cricket & that’s the 50-over ODI World Cup.
​T20 World Cup needs a rebrand to the "T20 World Championship"-just like the World Test Championship (WTC). Let’s keep the prestige of the actual Cup exclusive. Thoughts?

Dhoni gave Kohli last over to defend 8 runs in SF 2016T20 WC against West Indies instead of main bowler.

Describe this moment in cricketing terms.

[Soldiers Village Cricket @ChessMaster1902]

As per some indian logic she shouldn't touch the trophy as she won nothing as a captain 😂

Well Played Ellyse Perry 👍

[Mufaddal Vohra @mufaddal_vohra]

Most ICC trophies won:

Ellyse Perry - 9.
Alyssa Healy - 8.
Meg Lanning - 8.

What started as just some on-air banter when I was asked to review Virat Kohli's One8 shoes. I said I can only give my opinion if I see and wear them. And soon the shoes landed at home. My son Kabir is most excited. Big shoes to fill, I will say. Thanks for this @imVkohli

Kapil Dev said, “Vaibhav Sooryavanshi talent is up there with Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli. But don’t overload him with the hype and pressure too soon. If he’s ready, play him. Let him breathe”. (Vikrant Gupta).

𝗕𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗸𝗲𝘀, who retired from intl cricket a few days ago, leaves behind one of the most unique records in Test history.

He remains the only player in Test cricket history to achieve all three of these

- Bat in all 11 batting positions
- Dismiss batters from all 11 batting positions
- Take catches of batters from all 11 batting positions

[Mufaddal Vohra @mufaddal_vohra]

Rajasthan born Jai Moondra who still holds the Indian passport, won the POTS award after defeating India in the T20i series.

[Soldiers Village Cricket @ChessMaster1902]

Still can't digest losing to Ireland yesterday. It’s a wake-up call. Honestly, Axar Patel hasn't played a standout knock since that final. He needed Virat Kohli at the other end to shepherd him through the pressure. Missing that Kohli masterclass big time! 👑 #INDvsIRE

KUMAR SANGAKKARA ON THE CONFIDENCE OF VAIBHAV SOORYAVANSHI. 🗣️

"When we were chasing 220 Vs LSG this year, Vaibhav walked out and winked at me and says, 'Coach, don't worry. It's done'. He tells Donovan Ferreira and Lhuan-dre Pretorius, 'Listen, I'm going to hit 13 sixes, once I do it, you just do the rest'. He hit 10 sixes and when he was on 5 sixes, Donovan and Pretorius thought, 'What is he talking about? We better start counting this down because this kid is actually going to do it'. That is the level of confidence a 15 year old has". (Sky Cricket).

[Soldiers Village Cricket @ChessMaster1902]

Sometimes it takes recent struggles to realize just how blessed we were to have Virat Kohli anchoring our pressure games. Rebuilding with Axar, keeping the scoreboard ticking & shifting gears right on time-his T20WC final knock was a priceless masterpiece. 🐐 #ViratKohli

[Tanuj @ImTanujSingh]

🚨 THE CRAZE OF KING KOHLI 🚨

- As soon as Virat Kohli's One8 shoes were globally launched, 1.5 Lakhs pairs sold out within 24 hours. (News24).

INDIA WON THE ICC WORLD CUP ON THIS DAY IN 1983. 🇮🇳
