What an incredible performance for Arsenal’s 12th man today 👏🏻

[Buvey @lawrence_bury]

South Africa with 9 men and being absolutely shocking still had more possession against Mexico than Arsenal did against PSG 😂 Embarrassing.

Jaspreet Bumrah was born/stays in ahmedabad, speaks fluent Gujarati and plays for Gujarat. Experts consider him a talent like Donald Bradman, once in a century talent.

Hardik Pandya stays in Baroda ( a twin city of Ahmedbad about 110 KM away / ~ one and half hour drive )

Akshar Patel stays in Nadiad ( ~ 57 KM away / under an hours drive )

Three player ~ 27 % of team playing in this final are from Ahmedabad or surround area which represents under 1 % of India’s population.

Can this happen without a sporting culture ?

Infact not many people would know but the first time cricket in the subcontinent was played in Khambhat ( Englishman’s pronounced it as Cambay ) few centuries ago, when the English crew of a waiting ship played the game.

India, unlike, many western paradigms cannot be analysed in black and white, in linear equations or algorithms. It has to be felt, embraced and understood.

Read this absolute horror story:

In June 2017, a minor girl accused Unnao BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar of rape, but the police refused to register an FIR. After months of inaction, in April 2018, the girl attempted suicide by self-immolation outside the CM’s residence, which finally forced the authorities to file the FIR.

Meanwhile, her father was arrested on false charges and reportedly assaulted in police custody; he later died in hospital due to his injuries. Public outrage followed. Even before any proper investigation had begun, a key witness in this mysterious custodial death was also found dead.

The case was eventually transferred to the CBI. The CBI concluded that the girl’s father died due to injuries inflicted in custody and that the assault was connected to an attempt to pressure and intimidate the victim’s family.

In July 2019, while the victim was travelling to court with her two aunts and lawyer, their car was hit by a truck, killing both her aunts and leaving the victim and the lawyer critically injured, an incident later treated as a deliberate attempt to silence witnesses.

In December 2019, Sengar was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment, but by then the victim’s family had already paid an irreparable price. The Unnao rape case had all the elements of an 80s–90s Bollywood villain plot: systemic intimidation, blatant abuse of power, and a trail of destruction that went far beyond the crime itself. But worse was still to come.

Yesterday, the Delhi High Court suspended the jail term and granted bail to Sengar. This is nothing but salt rubbed into the wounds of whatever little the victim’s family has left. An absolute disgrace. After everything they endured, this feels like the system mocking them. Shameful beyond words, and everyone should raise their voice against this.

Washington Sundar has bowled just one over in two innings this Test match but batted at number three.

Greg Chappell used to do the same thing with Irfan Pathan once upon a time.

[Wasim Jaffer @WasimJaffer14]

Not out. Not done. #AUSvIND

[DD @devdutt_chauhan]

@poserarcher What a huge difference a good #4 batsman makes to the entire team!

[Mufaddal Vohra @mufaddal_vohra]

Washington Sundar alone scored 39 in the 10th wicket partnership which helped India set 374 target.

- One of the most underrated contributions from Washi. 🙇‍♂️

Gotta say, I’ve lost a lot of respect for @Harry_Brook_88 & @benstokes38 for the way they’ve carried on, begrudging tons for 2 blokes who batted their hearts out. Absolute pork chops. The spirit of cricket & sportsmanship is only relevant when it suits them, apparently. #ENGvIND

[Slog Sweep-189 @SloggSweep]

Jadeja knew he isn't Pant or Stokes who can attack when all fielders are on boundary but he knew his strength is defence & he played according to merits but to do that for 180 balls, not getting frustrated, just fully determined is just commendable . One of his best knocks .

🚨BREAKING: Resident doctors of Goa have given a 48 hour ultimatum to the Health Minister, otherwise GARD will go on indefinite strike!

Goa Health Minister Vishwajit Rane tried to give a political masterclass at Goa Medical College (GMC) yesterday following the 2 Rs toolkit for cheap political publicity:

1. March into a casualty ward with your camera crew.
2. Bark orders at the doctor on call.
3. Declare yourself the people’s messiah.

But he forgot that doctors have had enough of this political hooliganism!

Resident doctors of Goa have now given a 48 hour ultimatum to the Health Minister, otherwise the poor people of his state will have to suffer if GARD goes on strike!

🚨 For those unaware, here’s what has happened in the last 24 hours:

A doctor at Goa Medical College Casualty has become a scapegoat, all thanks to Goa Health Minister Vishwajit Rane. In a shocking viral video likely spearheaded by his PR Team, Rane stormed into the hospital camera crew in tow and publicly humiliated and suspended the doctor, simply for following established medical protocol by refusing a routine Vitamin B12 injection in casualty.

To gain cheap publicity, the minister arrogantly shouted at the doctor:
✅“Put your hands down!”
✅“Lower your mask!” (despite ongoing COVID threats)
✅“I’ll suspend you for two years!”

Here’s the reality: Vitamin B12 injections aren’t emergencies. Casualties are meant for urgent, life-threatening cases, not political video-ops.

The moment that video hit social media and gained public criticism instead of applause, Rane’s PR team aka “political chappris started damage control.

A carefully vetted, hypocritical apology followed, pretending concern and empathy. This isn’t compassion. It’s political hooliganism. Such stunts steadily erode public trust in doctors. It’s not just wrong, it’s dangerous and we cannot take this lightly.

The Goa Association of Resident Doctors (GARD) has issued a powerful 48-hour ultimatum demanding:

✅ Immediate revocation of the suspension with fair inquiry.
✅ Public apology by Minister Rane.
✅ Ban on filming inside emergency patient-care areas.
✅ End of VIP culture & political bullying in hospitals.

If demands aren’t met: GARD goes on indefinite strike.

Rane’s actions are calculated abuses of power. Ministers must remember they’re elected to serve, not intimidate.

Hooliganism belongs on the streets, not in hospitals. If Rane has any decency left, he must immediately resign or issue an unconditional apology.

We must stand together as doctors, patients and citizens against this dangerous political circus destroying country’s healthcare system and show these miscreants the place where they actually belong!

Thanks Hardik, hopefully this was the last time we saw you leading MI or any Cricket team for that matter.
You are a top player, but a horrendous captain.

Obama: When I was president, I had been talking to scientists for a while so during my last year in office, we put together a pandemic playbook for how to deal with the eventuality of a pandemic.. When Trump came in, we gave over this playbook and he threw it out. I want to be fair on this, no matter who was going to president, this was going to be a problem… But if you look at a country like Canada, their per capita death rate was 40% lower than here. So just do the math. That’s more than 400k people. People’s grandparents, people’s fathers, people’s moms who would’ve been alive if Trump had just paid attention and tried to follow the plan that we gave him. It might have been somebody in your family that could’ve been impacted. So, if somebody tells you that this doesn’t make a difference, having somebody competent who cares about you.. it does matter and at some point, it will make a difference to them

And why did @realDonaldTrump stop the bipartisan immigration bill just to try to make this an election issue instead of caring for the small towns you (and I) seem to care about? Why not call him on that? We both agree uncontrolled illegal immigration needs to be stopped.

Since @elonmusk took over @X, Elon’s tweets repeatedly appear at the top of my X feed. No matter what time of the day I log in, the first few tweets always feature a tweet from Musk. Are others too facing the same issue. How can it be okay to bump up one’s own tweets to the top of the algo in this brazen fashion. I interact most with the @IndiaToday and @aajtak handles. Logically speaking those tweets should feature first on the basis of engagement. No logical reason for Musk to dominate my timeline, except that he owns the platform.
