When I started out at @SuperpowerFb as a Social Media Executive, I had a surface level understanding of #IndianFootball. Just enough to justify my job profile at the time. One day, @OkayAnkush comes up to me and tells me "Bhai, Indian Football Team ka squad announcement hua hai. Live jayega mere saath?" Little did I know that that Facebook Live would lead me into a journey of being in front of the camera instead of being behind it, of MASSIVELY building on that surface level knowledge...and exploring the magic of a certain Sunil Chhetri.

5 years later, the man himself arrived at our office in Bengaluru for a small shoot. When the DOP mssgd me that the shoot had ended and SC11 was in the lifts heading towards the reception, I remember how I absolutely sprinted towards the lifts to catch a glimpse of him and then get myself clicked with him outside the office.

Cut to today, when the 90 mins ended and the man went through the guard of honor in tears, I couldn't stop crying. I tried, but the tears just kept rolling down. Rivers would shy away at the sight. Dad told me, "Kya hua Debu. He's only a player, itna kya ro raha hai."

Kya bolun unhe. Ki he's just not a player? Toh phir kya hai exactly? Bhagwan bhi subjective hai. And if he is God, then why didn't he save us today of that shambolic performance?

Nah, Sunil Chhetri isn't God. But in the wider scheme of things, he isn't short of being one. My heart knows it. That's why it feels it's gonna be tough watching a national team game now, devoid of the hope that a certain SC11 would change the game for us in even the toughest of situations.

But he wouldn't want it to be like that, would he? Isliye, as Rajkumar Rao once said, "Kuch rishton mein logic nahi hota, sirf magic hota hai"

19 years ke baad our magician departs the national stage. Time lagega to find a new one, but #SunilChhetri would want us to wait. So we wait...

The road was long, but the destiny was undeniable. 🏆

Dropped my POV of Lionel Messi: The Journey To Glory. We're talking positional brilliance, iconic moments, and the final piece of the puzzle.

Chelsea fan here, but gotta give the flowers to our rival fans for the patience these guys have had over the years.

My two cents on the journey:

@GiorgiaMeloni Best gift ever tbh. Massive craving for Melody now.

Xabi Alonso is Chelsea's new manager.

The unbeaten Bundesliga season. The pressing system. The identity. Me and @TheDrogBABA broke it all down.

@CFCVerse @JacobsBen Haan dekha bro.

[Adidev Guru @psychedguru]

Not believing any Xabi Alonso DONE rumors until @JacobsBen doesnt report it with finality.

@FabrizioRomano This. This fills me with SO MUCH hope on a dreadful day for the club.

You can legit form another team from these names and then beat Italy again.

Real Madrid is in a strange spot. That Valverde/Tchouaméni training ground scrap says a lot about the current pressure in the locker room. Thoughts? 👇

Away to West Ham, hosting Burnley, and then ending with going away to Crystal Palace. Arsenal, you just CANNOT bottle it from here. Will be criminal if you do.

@SPAINsider Can we go over 5.5?

[Adidev Guru @psychedguru]

@SPAINsider Going big on this. Taken an over 6 (refund if there's 6) as Strasbourg had a high intensity game while coming from behind to win it vs Lorient 4 days back and has conceded corners against weaker oppositions as well.

Really hoping the read is right on this🤞

You're looking at numbers, I’m looking at utility. Rutherford has a 194 SR but MI is batting him at 7 where he gets 8 balls max. That’s a waste of a specialist.
In the GT game, MI used 6 bowlers & Hardik only bowled ONE over. If you don't even need your 6th bowling option, why bury a form batter like Sherfane? The "math" doesn't work if the entry point is wrong. Move him to 4 to maximize the runs, or play Bosch if you actually want the bowling cushion. Right now, it’s just a tactical no-man’s land.

[Adidev Guru @psychedguru]

Why play Sherfane Rutherford as a specialist batter if you’re only giving him around 15-20 balls (at max) to face? Benches a decent all-rounder Bosch, bats below Hardik, and gets zero time to settle. The math isn’t mathing 🤷‍♂️💙 #TATAIPL #MIvGT
