So much clarity and maturity at such a young age.
Dravid arguably the best representative the sport has ever seen

Krunal Pandya was never supposed to be the headline. For years he was just the other Pandya, elder one who carried the kit bag while Hardik got the slow motion entries. But cricket has a way of rewarding the hungry & Krunal’s hunger was never metaphorical.

At 16, he & Hardik ate Maggi once a day. Their father Himanshu had shut his car finance shop in Surat & moved to Vadodara so the boys could train at Kiran More Academy. Brothers shared everything. Once Hardik’s only bat broke during a Ranji match & Krunal had to borrow from a teammate.

Then came the speed post. A government job offer for Krunal. 15-20k Rupees, stable money. His father said take it as family was tired. Krunal was 22 & had just been dropped for a game from Baroda Under-23. He tore the letter. Chose Syed Mushtaq Ali trials instead. That was not a supporting character move. That was a man who thinks he is the lead.

People call him a defensive bowler, as if that is an insult. Since 2016, only 4 spinners in IPL history have a better economy than his 7.56 (Min 50 wickets). 2 are all time greats in Narine & Rashid Khan, third is Axar Patel; a regular in Indian T20 team.
But here is the thing: none of those 4 have scored more runs than Krunal since his debut. Not Narine who opens many times. Not Axar who bats at 5 these days. Krunal has 1897 runs at 22.85 while keeping the runs down better than almost everyone.

He left Mumbai Indians in 2022. Since that exit, his IPL economy is 7.81. Only Narine has taken more wickets with a better economy in this period. Meanwhile Mumbai’s best spinner in these 4 years has been Piyush Chawla at 8.4.
Look at what happened to Mumbai Indians after he left. Bottom of the table twice. Already eliminated this season. On the other side, Krunal’s teams have made the playoffs every single year since 2022. LSG first, then RCB. Trophy in 2025. Top of the table right now in 2026. This is not coincidence. This is what happens when you remove the glue & wonder why the furniture is shaking.

Hardik gets called clutch. Fair. But Krunal is the only player in IPL history with 2 Player of the Match awards in finals. 2017 with MI. 2025 with RCB. The elder brother, the one who supposedly just does the dirty work, has delivered on the biggest stage twice.
In 2025 final against Punjab, he took 2 for 17. Got Prabhsimran & Inglis. RCB fans who once abused him for taking AB de Villiers wicket were now calling him legend. That is the thing about sports. It does not care about your Instagram followers. It cares about who shows up.

11 seasons, 2 final POTMs, 1 trophy that RCB waited 17 years for. All from a boy who once ate Maggi for dinner & travelled 25 kilometers to prove he could be something. Bollywood got it wrong this time. Elder brother was the main character all along. He just needed a different city to prove it.

Women cannot be considered untouchable for three days in a month. - Supreme Court on Sabarimala.

Here, I explain why such slanderous misreadings are not only hurtful to the Hindus, they fit a pattern - of the court respecting all religions but having the guts to mock only one:

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

On the special occasion of his birth centenary, paying homage to Srimad Sudhindra Tirtha Swamiji of the Shri Kashi Math Samsthan, Varanasi. He devoted his life towards service and spirituality. He set up numerous institutions, research centres and was passionate about spreading the joys of education among people. His teachings emphasise simplicity, kindness and righteousness. Equally commendable are his efforts to preserve and popularise India’s culture and value systems that originated in our land.

[Virat Kohli @imVkohli]

Champions ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Phenomenal win for Team India in Ahmedabad. Absolutely no match for the explosive cricket played by us throughout the tournament. Brilliant character shown by the boys to keep fighting in tough situations and become world champions once again. Congratulations to all the players and all the members of the management for achieving this feat. Jai Hind 🇮🇳❤️

[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! 🇮🇳🏆

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

A Hindu boy in Mussoorie started singing the Hanuman Chalisa by the roadside - no stage, no big setup, just a mic and a guitar.

He sang so beautifully and melodiously that his voice made people stop and listen. Gradually, a crowd gathered, and many joined him in singing the Hanuman Chalisa together.

The entire atmosphere turned devotional and spiritually uplifting.

Our new generation is truly unapologetic and deeply rooted in their faith.

Hats off to the young man.

8 minutes that will truly touch your soul - watch it completely. ❤️🚩

#WATCH | Bengaluru | The Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) honoured former Indian captain Rahul Dravid by naming a stand at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium after him.

Former Indian captain Rahul Dravid says, "...It's been a second home to me, and it's been a place where, as Anil said, we probably spent more time here than we have spent in our houses. It's been a place of great happiness, sometimes great disappointments as well, but a place that has truly given me everything that I am today. I can never be more grateful for what the KSCA and this great ground and this iconic ground have given me in my life..." (13.02)

On Vaikunta Ekadasi, devotees at Tirumala get a rare darshan through the Vaikunta Dwaram — believed to be the gateway to moksha. One of the most auspicious days to seek the blessings of Lord Venkateswara.
