🚨🗣️ Thierry Henry on France vs Senegal at the World Cup:
“Every World Cup, people look at the names on the shirt before they look at the players on the pitch. That's the first mistake.
I keep hearing people say, 'It's France, they should win comfortably.' Really? Based on what? Reputation? History? Badges don't score goals. Players do.
Senegal are not a team you can disrespect. They are athletic, organized, aggressive and full of belief. They have players competing at the highest level in Europe and they understand exactly who they are as a team. That's dangerous.
What makes Senegal difficult is that they don't care about your history. They don't care how many World Cups you've won. They don't care how many Ballon d'Or winners you've produced. Once the whistle blows, all of that disappears.
But then you look at France.
And that's where the problem begins for everyone else.
France don't just have quality. They have quality everywhere.
You look at the attack, there's danger. You look at the midfield, there's control. You look at the defense, there's experience. Then you look at the bench and you realize they can replace top players with other top players.
That's not normal.
Every tournament, people talk about one or two favorites. France are always there because they have built something most countries dream about — a production line of elite talent.
The scary thing isn't their starting eleven.
The scary thing is that a young player can appear out of nowhere and suddenly look ready for the World Cup stage.
That's why they've been so successful for so long.
Now, can Senegal win? Of course they can.
This is football. That's why we love it.
One mistake, one counterattack, one special moment can change everything.
But if you're asking me for a prediction, I have to be honest.
I think France will win.
Not because Senegal aren't good enough.
Not because France will dominate from the first minute.
But because over ninety minutes, I trust France's depth, experience and individual quality slightly more.
I think Senegal will make them suffer.
I think Senegal will make them work.
But eventually, talent usually finds a way.
My prediction?
France 2-1 Senegal.
And if France do go through, don't be surprised if people once again start talking about them as the team to beat at this World Cup.
Because every generation changes.
Every World Cup creates new stories.
But France somehow always remain part of the conversation.”

Football is genuinely the closest thing we have to a universal language. Expanding the World Cup to 48 teams was a top tier decision man. More countries, more cultures, more stories.
At the Morjim beach in Goa, was walking in the morning and found several pieces of broken glass bottles on the beach, we picked up 8-9 pieces I don’t know what’s wrong with people.
Many of them just under water and it can cut the feet easily, where is civic sense!
With all the E20 Petrol now across India, noticing some issues in not so older cars, yes cars sold in the last 2-3 years are E20 compliant, but what about older cars @volklub
Is the Govt indirectly telling users not to buy Petrol cars as of now?
I have moved to EVs but reality is not everyone can do that and when ppl buy cars and keep them for 10-12 years so why force E20 Petrol on cars that are not designed for that engine, won’t it degrade those vehicles.
There is a fake dubbed clip of me and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi doing the rounds on social media. It depicts Vaibhav as being rude and cocky. Neither was that question asked nor was there an answer like that. It is cruel and mischievous especially towards a young kid who has been very respectful in his few interactions. @rajasthanroyals@bcci
Massive statement by Sunil Gavaskar on Virat Kohli and Travis Head handshake controversy
“I just watched the clip and we all know cricket is a gentleman’s game, so I feel very sorry for Head because he gave his hand for a handshake and Kohli ignored him. You can’t do that in a gentleman’s game, you are not a child anymore.”
So I would request BCCI to take strict action against Virat and ask why he didn’t shake hands with Head. If he doesn’t give a proper explanation, ban him for 3 IPL matches.
If you don’t do this now, many players will also start doing the same thing.”👏
🚨EMOTIONAL STATEMENT BY SUNIL NARINE ON HIS 200TH MATCH FOR KKR🚨
Sunil Narine said 🗣️:
🔸"I mean, yeah, being a senior guy and God giving me the talent and the health and strength to play 200 (about his 200th IPL match).
🔸Hopefully I play many more. I think it's a blessing. It's something that has gone a long way and it's a long journey and the journey continues.
🔸So hopefully I can continue bringing these sort of performances and playing as long as possible.

Manoj Madhusudhanan took a ₹1.86 crore home loan from ICICI Bank.
As collateral, he handed over his original property documents. Every homebuyer does this. You have no choice.
ICICI Bank sent those documents to their storage facility in Hyderabad via courier. Somewhere on that journey — Bangalore to Hyderabad — the documents vanished.
Gone. Originals. Irreplaceable.
When Manoj found out, ICICI Bank had one answer: it was the courier company's fault. Not ours.
He went to the Banking Ombudsman. They told ICICI to publish a public notice about the loss and pay him ₹25,000 for the trouble.
Twenty-five thousand rupees. For losing the original documents to a ₹1.86 crore property.
Manoj sent a legal notice. ICICI denied any mistake.
He went to the NCDRC.
The apex consumer court looked at the facts. The bank had taken custody of the documents. The bank had chosen the courier. The bank could not hand that liability to a third party and walk away.
ICICI Bank — India's second-largest private bank, ₹9 lakh crore in assets — was held liable. Ordered to obtain reconstructed certified copies, issue an indemnity bond, and pay ₹25 lakh in compensation.
One loan. One lost file. One bank that blamed the courier.
Save this — if your bank loses your original property documents, they cannot blame their courier agent. The documents were in their custody. The liability is theirs. File at your district consumer forum. The law is on your side.
