Congratulations on a remarkable career, @ajinkyarahane88.

The first time we batted together for Mumbai, I saw someone who never chased moments. They came to you because you were willing to do the hard yards for the team. That same quality defined your finest hour in Australia. You showed that composure isn't the opposite of aggression. It is often what gives a team the confidence to be fearless.

Congratulations on a wonderful career! Wishing you and your family all the very best.

Sometimes tennis can take a long time to give back what players keep putting in. Good to see Alexander Zverev win his first Grand Slam at Roland-Garros today. Always felt he was a special player!

Credit to Flavio Cobolli for the way he competed today as well. Both players gave everything to the game. 👏

There’s a unique helplessness in sport when the mind wants to push forward, but the body has other plans. Felt for Jannik Sinner today because these moments can be deeply painful. Remember, the true measure of a champion is always in the comeback.

But this is also why sport remains so unpredictable and special. Full credit to Juan Manuel Cerundolo for staying composed, believing till the very end, and making the most of his opportunity.

CSK are the Targaryens of the IPL. A dynasty with dragons breathing fire, feared by every opponent who stepped onto the field against us. Back then, everyone knew what was coming: intensity, dominance, teamwork, spin chokeholds, big hitting, fiery finishes, intelligent death bowling & the power to burn through any challenge.

Now, it feels like the dragons don’t exist & the fire has dimmed. Its extremely disheartening to see our lovable franchise like this. Maybe this is the 'Mad King' era - a phase of struggle, uncertainty & transition.

Still, as OG fans, we should know this isn’t the end. Dynasties don’t disappear, they rebuild. The dragons will rise again, the fire will return & CSK will reclaim its roar. Might not happen this season. Might be a long, tough road ahead in 2026, but the tide will turn around! 🐉🔥💛

Since today marks 15 years since that April night in Mumbai, here is something Yuvraj Singh once told Hemant Brar. The kind of story that slips out years later, when the noise has died down.

Yuvraj numbers were ordinary before that World Cup: 24 ODIs, 490 runs, 24 Average, strike rate scraping 68. His body was not cooperating. The mind was worse. He was trying his best but Nothing clicked.

Then Tendulkar found him.

Not to talk cover drives or weight transfer. To talk about why he should won the World Cup. Play for someone who is special for you. Pick someone you owe, he said. Someone you watched as a boy. Play the whole thing for them.

Yuvraj went to his room. Dug out a photograph from Nairobi, October 2000. His first game. Tendulkar, playing the on-drive. He took another phoro of himself, playing the same shot. He taped them to his kit bag. In cricket, bags travel. They carry your living. Players call them coffins.

Every time he unzipped his kit bag, he saw his childhood staring back. The man he watched through a window. The debt.

You know what followed. That roar in Motera, 362 runs, 15 wickets in the middle overs. The man of the tournament. The final, won at last after 28 years. But that is the scorecard. This is the story.

Tendulkar had played in five World Cups. He had seen two semifinals & one final that ended in tears. He was 37 at that time. This was his last ride. Everyone in the dressing room understood what hung in the air.

Yuvraj played for the man who had given him the game.

When Yuvraj hugged Tendulkar after the victory. Both of them wept. The coffin had done its job & debt was settled. The boy had finally carried his hero home.

5 years ago, a dream turned into reality. Wearing the India jersey is a feeling I can still never fully put into words 🇮🇳

Here’s to many more memories that we’re going to create, for team 🇮🇳

[Sachin Tendulkar @sachin_rt]

Winning the World Cup twice in a row, the first time any team has done so in the T20 format. Totally deserving and rightful winners of the trophy.

What a fantastic performance by our team and a special brand of cricket on display.

Well done, Team India. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳🏆

[cricketingview @cricketingview]

The most complete team in the tournament has won it. Doesn't always happen, especially in T20.

[Vikram Sathaye @vikramsathaye]

For the last 4-5 years the most exciting thing for me in an India game is Bumrah bowling his overs . I get more excited watching it than the sixers by the batters ? Anyone shares this emotion ? :)

[Sachin Tendulkar @sachin_rt]

The Kashmir willows have been a part of many champions’ kits. To see Jammu & Kashmir’s journey from being an enabler of champions, to becoming champions themselves, is beautiful.

The season was built on consistency, resilience, and season-long excellence. Auqib Nabi’s impact with the ball stood out in a demanding campaign.

A historic moment for the team, coaches, and support staff. Journeys like these define the beauty of domestic cricket.

[Sachin Tendulkar @sachin_rt]

Champions!

So proud of this young group and the fearless cricket they played. Well done to the entire team, including coaches and support staff. Enjoy the moment!

When you have a Sooryavanshi, a timeless blockbuster is expected! Well done, Vaibhav!

How Sachin got Laxman treated in typical Indian middle class style

Sachin was even ready to give his appointment to Laxman even though the 2011 World Cup was just a few months away.

This team was like family away from home

Today's Kohli innings was reminiscent of a few SRT innings. The other end didn't produce. Chase didn't work. In Kohli's era, such events have been rare compared to SRT's era.

He nearly did a madness...
