There is a reason Cricket as a sport can never grow to the global level.
It treats bowlers like slaves especially in T20 format whose only job is to get smashed by batters. They can't even give send-offs after taking an imp. wicket.
Himachal govt installs a charging point in Manali for tourists to charge phones and gadgets, and within hours people turn it into a dustbin. No Swachh Bharat or any scheme can fix this nation, only an iron fist policy can bring change.

How did Dominic Calvert-Lewin's 'hairpull' on Marc Cucurella differ from the incident that led to Lisandro Martinez being shown a red card?
Analysis from former Premier League referee Graham Scott (@Refsplaining):
The last thing that VAR Paul Howard would have wanted in the FA Cup semi-final between Chelsea and Leeds United was a hair-pulling incident.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s contact on Marc Cucurella was fleeting and surely fell short of the level of contact required for a red card.
But Manchester United, who saw their defender Lisandro Martinez sent off for briefly tugging Calvert-Lewin’s hair on 13 April, will undoubtedly see enough similarities to ask questions of PGMO, and they have my sympathy.
When Leeds and Chelsea met in the 1970 cup final, there were multiple brutal tackles, a punch-up and retaliatory stamp by one player on another. None was deemed worthy of a yellow card, let alone a red.
Now we find ourselves debating whether a player should be dismissed and banned for three matches for a fleeting tug on an opponent’s hair. Progress? I don’t think so.

24 questions. 3 hearings. Zero apologies.
They asked him - “Do you feel remorse?” No.
“Are you sorry?” No.
“Apologise and this disappears.” Still no.
Because Article 19(1)(a) wasn’t written so artists could fold it up and hand it back the moment a powerful politician gets uncomfortable with satire.
Kunal Kamra has challenged the government’s unconstitutional Fact-Check Unit in court, challenged the Sahyog portal, and now he’s standing in their own legislature, refusing to bend.
Youth of India, this is your role model. Not the ones on billboards.
What other artist in this country is holding the line right now?

2010-2016; Twitter was the best. Apart from the killer logos, reading unfiltered celebrity tweets, getting transfer updates, and just genuine users who didn't give two shits about engagement farming.
