With South Africa co-hosting the 2027 ODI World Cup, Cricket SA has quietly begun replacing the natural turf at iconic grounds like the Wanderers and Newlands with artificial drop-in pitches. 🤯
Preparing for the upcoming World Cup by ripping out the historic, lethal, and natural turf of venues like the Wanderers and Newlands for drop-in pitches feels like a massive corporate sellout. We are willingly sacrificing iconic home-ground identity for standardized, flat, batter-friendly highway tracks just to please international broadcasters who want cheap entertainment.😭
Drop-in pitches are essentially an industrialized shortcut that covers up underfunded local ground management. If South Africa cannot prepare authentic, natural decks that reflect our unique regional soils, they shouldn't be hosting. Standardised pitches kill the beautiful, hostile unpredictability of true Proteas conditions. We’re trading legendary cricket culture for cookie-cutter road tracks.
Bhai Chandra sahab ke ₹22,000 crores maaf nahi karte to India mein UPI agle 20 saal tak free chal jaata by government’s number of ₹8,000 crores subsidy.
Also NPCI - which runs UPI has ₹6,119 hard cash on its balance sheet and pre tax operating profit of ₹1,900 crores. NPCI apne cash pe and profits par zindagi bhar UPI free chala sakti hai. Government ka kuchh lena dena hi nahi hai. Government earned ₹1,000 crores tax from NPCI last year.
India mein koi 5 minutes number Google kar le to doodh ka doodh paani ka paani ho jaye.
RBI surplus to Govt : ₹2.87 Lakh Crores (US$30 Bn)
Total listed bank profits : ₹4.11 Lakh Crores (US$42 Bn)
NPCI - which runs UPI pre tax ‘surplus’ : ₹ 1,888 crores (US$200 Mn)
To nuksaan kis ka ho raha hai UPI se aur kaunsi subsidy de rahi hai Govt UPI pe jo chubh rahi hai?
Cost of running ATMs and cash logistics in India is ₹30,500 crores (US$ 3.0 Bn). If you want to optimise shut ATMs and promote UPI instead.
Any levy on UPI is just tax collection. UPI is the one scientific achievement of India everyone acknowledges par ab tax ki bali chadhegi.
Last year, I paid around 2000 rs for a 750ml bottle of ballantine’s using Rupay UPI Credit card mode.
Just as I was about to leave, the shopkeeper stopped me and made me pay another 40, saying I had to bear the credit card charges.
Turns out, I was the merchant all along.

🔴I think Indian selectors are selecting the team while drunk these days.
How the f..cck Ashok sharma is playing for India, he done nothing at any domestic stages in india , he played some ipl matches and got hammered in every match.
At the same time deserving Bolwers like Rashikh darr salam are not in the Indian team, Rashikh bowled exceptionally in IPL despite flat pitch.
Hey, nobody checked this by the way.
It was waived like nothing happened…but guess what, nobody is making a meal out of it because it’s not Argentina, https://t.co/HRonnowZr6
