Arguably one of the greatest ever Test Series wins by New Zealand!👏

India has been outclassed in all the three test matches in their own turf. A series whitewash in almost 100 years on Indian soil.

Playing spin is a lost art! And New Zealand have exposed them big time

Oh what a night!

Here’s how @imVkohli’s reign at the @MCG unfolded this evening in an amazing run chase!

It has been one of the great evenings in world sport.

India-Russia strategic ties are here to stay & grow irrespective of Russia's enmity towards & India's friendship with the West. The relationship is more equal today than ever, thanks to India's rise, Russia's relative decline and the churns in the global order.

This is the most beautiful thing I have seen for a long time. Absolute class from #RinkuSingh

In 2018 England beat India 4-1 at home.

In 2024 India lead the series 3-1 with one Test to go.

On both the occasions the score-line does not show how keenly contested the series had been, and the final score-line could have been totally different.

It's that important to win the crucial moments in the game, which England did in 2018 and India in 2024.

Honoured to have been asked to speak at the second death anniversary function of my old NDTV colleague and friend Kamal Khan. When the history of tv journalism in this country is written, Kamal will stand out as someone who gave Hindi news TV reporting a unique identity. Very few, if any, have surpassed Kamal in the use of language with a sharp knowledge of UP’s society and politics. If only there was a Time Machine, we could be transported to an era when news was not noise and Kamal Khan reporting from Lucknow was a symbol of a journalism of sense not sensation. We miss him🙏

दोस्तों

12th Fail फ़िल्म हम सबको ज़रूर देखनी चाहिए

सिर्फ़ इसलिए नहीं कि यह एक प्रेरणादायक या Motivate करने वाली फ़िल्म है

सिर्फ इसलिए नहीं कि ये एक कामयाब IPS अफ़सर की कहानी है

सिर्फ़ इसलिए नहीं कि ये विधु विनोद चोपड़ा जैसे महान फिल्मकार की फिल्म है

सिर्फ इसलिए नहीं कि इसमें डॉ विकास दिव्यकीर्ति जैसे बेहद मशहूर शिक्षाविद ने इसमें पहली बार अभिनय किया है

बल्कि इसलिए कि ये फ़िल्म बताती है कि हमारा सिनेमा असल में ऐसी ही फिल्मों के लिए होना चाहिए

ताकि समाज को कुछ सकारात्मक तो मिले

ताकि फ़िल्म से कुछ सीखकर जीवन मे अपना लक्ष्य तो हासिल करें

ताकि मेहनत, हिम्मत, दोस्ती, संघर्ष और ईमानदारी किताबी बातें बनकर ना रह जाएं

Can you guys please let me in on the venue? Will book the adjacent table! @ashwinravi99 @NathLyon421? Won't speak a word (yes, that is possible 😄.....will just listen in....)

[Sachin Tendulkar @sachin_rt]

The first time I met you in the Indian dressing room, you were pranked by other teammates into touching my feet. I couldn’t stop laughing that day. But soon, you touched my heart with your passion and skill. I am so happy that that young boy has grown into a ‘Virat’ player.

I couldn’t be happier that an Indian broke my record. And to do it on the biggest stage - in the World Cup Semi-final - and at my home ground is the icing on the cake.

My 9 yo asking me who is this commentator ‘Viv Richards’?

Trying to explain to her that when I was her age, Viv was the ‘KING’.

And scrambling to find youtube videos of him striding into bat with that famous swagger, chewing gum furiously 😅

Now that is a shot of an emperor from Virat Kohli, to generate that amount of power with his wrists off an off-cutter from Tim Southee #CWC23 #IndvNZ

[Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor]

I never thought that, in my lifetime, I would see an innings to rival @therealkapildev’ s immortal 175* against Zimbabwe in 1983. @Gmaxi_32 has just shown us all that miracles do repeat themselves. Just amazing. #WorldCup2023 #AUSvsAFG

What’s the length of the rope Shreyas Iyer has been given? Technical issues apart, is he even temperamentally ready for the big stage?

[Ben Gardner @Ben_Wisden]

This World Cup needed a proper thriller and a semi-final race with some tension. It’s got the former but at expense of the latter

[Harsha Bhogle @bhogleharsha]

I suspect it is time to explain "Umpire's Call" again. After the ball strikes the pad, what you see is a projection of where the ball might have been, it isn't the actual ball because that has met an obstruction. If more than 50% of the ball is projected to hit the stumps, you can be 100% sure it will. But if less than 50% of the ball is projected to hit the stumps, the current accuracy levels cannot state with 100% certainty that the ball would have hit the stumps. Hence, you go back to the Umpire's original decision because you cannot be certain enough to overturn his call. It is a very good and fair method. As cameras get better and the projected path more certain, we could reach a day when you can be certain that even if the projected path shows a ball merely clipping the stumps, it would in reality have hit them.

And 24 years later, it’s the Afghanistan team who’ll receive a standing ovation from the Chepauk crowd. What a moment for them in Chennai #CWC23 #PakvAfg

[Harsha Bhogle @bhogleharsha]

Wow, Afghanistan. I thought the win over England was their biggest day on a cricket ground. But this run-chase might even top that. Take them seriously because the maturity they showed today was so admirable. I am voting for this over the England game.
