@ndtv @ShashiTharoor @radhika1705 @ShashiTharoor, Belgium, Guam, Vietnam, Suriname and cities Jerusalem, DaarEsSalaam are the only foreign names ending in a syllable with "m" in it, for precedent. None fits great, but go with the Beligian excuse, and pick "Keralian". Fits with the Malayalam word Keraleeyan too.

@InterestingSci1 I will just walk around that gate. No need to lift it.

[R. Jayakrishnan @jayakris]

@IndTennisDaily Maaya fully deserved it! But a shout out is in order to our other M&M kid, Manas, who won 9 matches in a row and his first pro title abroad in Monastir, Tunisia. Maybe the youngest Indian to win a pro title abroad?

[R. Jayakrishnan @jayakris]

@amanthejourno If so, quit, Mr. Captain Sideburns. You know that your players do not think you should be their captain, nor that you ever deserved the job with your tennis record of ONE reverse singles straight sets loss at Davis Cup. You have known it all along. Follow your word. QUIT.

[R. Jayakrishnan @jayakris]

@eustace_on7 Barring injuries, he will be there next year. Mark it down!

[R. Jayakrishnan @jayakris]

@IndTennisDaily Mr. Captain Sideburns Andy-Kaufman-Lookalike joker, with ONE 16 26 loss to a Korean in his Davis Cup career and a 1-6 ATP challenger match record (never even in ATP top-500) has the gall to ask Indian tennis fans to shut up? Have you no shame? YOU shut up, apologize and RESIGN!

[R. Jayakrishnan @jayakris]

@PrasenjitKBasu It tells you all you need to know about that worthless family organization called the AITA. Players and matches are not why they go to Davis Cup. They are there for "single malt", to quote Mukund, the India #2 who was not invited to play, as he ruffled some AITA ego.

[R. Jayakrishnan @jayakris]

@sumants People need to have a sense of shame. Pitiful. What else do you expect from AITA?

[R. Jayakrishnan @jayakris]

@Dakshsr06039842 @IndTennisDaily @nagalsumit Yes, you made the allegation that he covered it up. If he had said his back was hurting, you would've said it was an excuse for losing. If he withdrew, you would've said he didn't care. That's why they don't say it. That is no cover up. Stop kicking a player when he is down.

[R. Jayakrishnan @jayakris]

@IndTennisDaily @nagalsumit It has to be Dhakshineswar Suresh for singles. Too early for Manas and even Aryan.

[R. Jayakrishnan @jayakris]

@sardesairajdeep Have you no shame, sir? We can all read English. There is no distancing there. PT Usha stated a fact about the medical teams involved. You know that, but you chose to spin it for politics. But at least you didn't say she "threw Vinesh under the bus" like others did. Thank you.

[R. Jayakrishnan @jayakris]

@VRNaiduN @Sankalp1703 @mr_mayank Stop creating stories, sir. A lot of people have followed this quite well.

[R. Jayakrishnan @jayakris]

@SarcasticQuark Appel was approved (meaning, accepted for consideration). Then there were hearings. Now we await the verdict on whether she will get a medal.

[R. Jayakrishnan @jayakris]

@rohan_rohit @vijaythottathil @hoorsheikh_fiza @07Eldho @GauravPandhi @SaurabhRaii_ @KulrajanWadhwa @RavinderKapur2 @SHIVESH46815647 @ShahnawazAslamm Yes, but this was unfair and had selection bias in the dots. There are more dots to connect.

[R. Jayakrishnan @jayakris]

@LaxmanManjunath @BoriaMajumdar @Phogat_Vinesh @RevSportzGlobal Correct. That is the problem. That part is what is untenable but has not been tested before. Nobody's assured medal has been taken away before, so this injustice in the rules was not noticed and fixed. I am sure that is an argument given by the lawyers on Vinesh's behalf.

[R. Jayakrishnan @jayakris]

@tnrags Wrong conclusions. The Albanian issue is very common in wrestling. If Vinesh lost strength, she would've lost and got a silver. If overweight on the finals day, she shouldn't be allowed to fight. All Ok. But why can't she forfeit the final and take a silver? Wasn't allowed to!

[R. Jayakrishnan @jayakris]

@LaxmanManjunath @BoriaMajumdar @Phogat_Vinesh @RevSportzGlobal I don't think this rule has been tested in the case of a finalist with assured medals, though. Plain weigh-in rule has been tested. That is, a medal that would be there on forfeit (due to medical reason for instance), was never taken away by disallowing a forfeit after weigh-in

[R. Jayakrishnan @jayakris]

@IndiaBottomline @ShivAroor No, she came down to this category because Antim (who did very poorly) had been given her normal weight category of 53kg. She did not destroy any career.

[R. Jayakrishnan @jayakris]

@ChekrishnaCk @mikejava85 @BefittingFacts @satishacharya @MANJULtoons No they didn't suppress anything. Stop creating stories!
