@talksports45 I remember that series for heroics of Ashraful and Pietersen.

And that catch by Collingwood of Hayden at point!!

Bharat getting bashed for what he did during BGT is well deserved. Took advantage of someone vulnerable & at his lowest, for the sake of his article.

But the player not getting picked thereafter is not on him. Instead of improving dressing room env, he was made scapegoat by TM.

@baldwhiner For a moment, I thought this is Ian Bishop!

[Krupal Singh @krupal_singh]

@shivvamm8 Harsh is on par with him, if not better. It is a pity that only one of them is able to make it to the XI.

Karthik on air: The great Vijay Hazare was the first Indian to score a 1000 runs.
Me: No wonder that he did. It is in his name! 😜

[Krupal Singh @krupal_singh]

@SriniR_2025 I agree.
Especially against the balls above his right shoulder

@Devnity10 @squabbbleup We preferred ODI cricket in the 90s and are preferring T20I cricket now.

Due to better broadcasting rights now, the number of Tests we play has increased but it is still not as many as ENG get to play.

[Krupal Singh @krupal_singh]

@Devnity10 @squabbbleup Correct, i.e. less than 7 Tests per year for Sachin.

If we exclude the Boxing day debut of Shubman, he played 38 Tests in 5 years (7.6 per year)

I just hope Shubman gets to play a lot more Test Cricket in the years to come, amidst all the needless T20I cricket.

[Krupal Singh @krupal_singh]

@SiniiMayo I prefer these, to be honest.
Paradise and Bawarchi are dated.

[Krupal Singh @krupal_singh]

@Devnity10 @squabbbleup at a time when IND preferred ODIs to Test Cricket. We played a lot less Test Cricket back then.
Only one tour of AUS (1992), WI (1997) and PAK (1989) in 10 years!

[Krupal Singh @krupal_singh]

@tullaallen Would've liked to see Vijay instead of Viru in this list.

If we're going for the win, I'd prefer the likes of Viru and Pant.

[Krupal Singh @krupal_singh]

@voldemortscore We may have to wait until he insists on taking his partner with him in the future 😜

[Krupal Singh @krupal_singh]

I still remember his hook shot for 6 off the first ball he faced from Shoaib Akhtar in an ODI at Sharjah!!
Tony Grieg's commentary describing it, was just the icing on the cake 😊

[Naveen Peiris @_Naviya_]

On this day in 1998, Mahela Jayawardene brought up his maiden Test century against New Zealand at Galle.

🏏 167 runs
⏱️ 406 balls
🤝 281-run partnership with Aravinda de Silva

The 1st of 34 Test hundreds in a career that would make him one of Sri Lanka’s greatest-ever batters.

@ThePadrepr Name: Ms. Marvel.
Iman Vellani's debut :)
I like her interviews with Erik Voss more, though!

[Krupal Singh @krupal_singh]

@Shebas_10dulkar PAK didn't tour IND until 1999.
IND didn't tour PAK until 2003 after his debut in 1989.
BGT didn't start until 1996.
IND didn't tour AUS until 1999-00 after the tour of 1992.

Sachin started having injuries by the time IND started playing Test Cricket regularly.

[Krupal Singh @krupal_singh]

@Madbruiser And that was the time when India didn't get to play as many Tests.
PAK didn't tour IND until 1999.
IND didn't tour PAK until the turn of the century after his debut in 1989.
BGT didn't start until 1996.
IND didn't tour AUS until 1999-00 after the tour of 1992.

@Rockx6_ @gangadhar_11 @Pant4life_ There is a reason teams appoint the senior most bowler to pick which ball to bowl with from a box of balls before an innings starts.

If each and every ball swung the same way, Test Cricket would have been way more predictable!!
