31 July 2008, Galle. India tour of Sri Lanka. India had just been hammered by an innings in the first Test.
Gambhir made 56. Dravid gone for 2. Tendulkar for 5. Ganguly for a duck. The rest of the batting folded around him.
But one player simply refused to stop.
201 not out off 231 balls, twenty-two fours and four sixes.
India scraped to 329 all out,more than 60% of the total from one bat. Carried his bat through the entire innings, batting with all ten partners.
India went on to win by 170 runs and level the series.
But he stood alone against Mendis and Murali and simply would not fall.
Guess who 🤔?

🚨 Mikel Arteta on the strange things he does to Arsenal players during training:
🗣️ Mikel Arteta:
“Sometimes the players arrive at training and immediately know something is wrong. [laughs]
The food is late. The dressing room is too hot. The schedule changes.
Nobody tells them why.
They used to complain. Now they just look at me.
I want them to understand that football will not always give you perfect conditions.
Your flight can be delayed. The pitch can be different. The atmosphere can be hostile. Something can happen that you didn’t prepare for.
So I prefer to make those situations happen here first.
If they can stay calm when I make their morning uncomfortable, they can stay calm when 60,000 people are screaming at them.
I don’t want Arsenal to be comfortable. I want Arsenal to be ready.”
Karan Johar: Does size matter?
Imran Khan: Please, on behalf of all men, answer this question for us.
Kareena Kapoor: I think to me it does.
Karan Johar: One thing you'd like not changed about Kareena?
Imran Khan: Her bum. It is actually a 10 on 10. Despite what Rahul feels in the film.
Karan Johar: Oh, it's a 10 on 10, bum?
Imran Khan: It's a 10 on 10.
Don’t be a clown they completely rebuilt a team.Arteta moved heaven and earth and made them one of the top 2 teams on the planet second only to psg who is state owned and has deep pockets and 115 city in the league rather than mocking them learn from them.
Show some respect 🙏
The Empire State Building shines red and white tonight in celebration of @Arsenal’s Premier League Title and trophy celebration.

I know they'll say it's not that deep, but notice how the people who never said congratulations when Arsenal won PL were the first to post when the club lost UCL.
It's exactly how people move in life. Quiet during your wins but very loud at your perceived setbacks because they've been waiting for the slips. So, never internalize either....the praise or the abuse.
Focus on the goal. Future e lose pataki!
