England have had a lot trouble dismissing India’s No 4 this series. #INDvsENG

[Sambit Bal @sambitbal]

Of course, Aakash Deep and Siraj have made it seem as if the match is being played on two different surfaces

[Sambit Bal @sambitbal]

Irrespective of the result, I would like see the rating of this bowlers’ graveyard #INDvsENGTest

Here is is farewell column on our site: https://t.co/vot0pKW64X

They don’t make them like Ian Chappell anymore. To have him writing for ⁦@ESPNcricinfo⁩ for two decades was a privilege. To have known him for even longer was an absolute blessing. https://t.co/FwJSbVGHma

[Sambit Bal @sambitbal]

There is line between brave and reckless, and Rohit Sharma’s batting in this home season had veered increasingly towards the latter. It’s almost like he doesn’t trust himself to bat long anymore.

The most heart-warming piece of content on the internet today. The Neeraj-Arshad story is an exemplar for sporting rivalries: fiercely competitive on the field, full of warmth and respect off it

[Roshan Rai @RoshanKrRaii]

Neeraj Chopra's mother says “ I am happy with the silver, the guy who got gold ( Arshad Nadeem) is also my child, everyone goes there after doing a lot of hard work”

what grace from Neeraj Chopra's mother, something that people can learn a lot from ♥️

Most beautiful video on the internet today.

Not a word needs to be changed from this piece by Sharda Ugra. Particularly these— “Today, Vinesh Phogat is India's biggest, bravest, boldest Olympian. We are lucky to have her” https://t.co/BrXwXOMWcY

[Sambit Bal @sambitbal]

Sport scan be cruel, but this cruel? But in the eyes of millions of her compatriots, Vinesh Phogat is as big a champion as any medal winner. And she can soar even higher. Read this from ⁦@AnirudhMenon89⁩ https://t.co/9In2icZnwd

मेरे लिए बहुत भावुक क्षण..
विनेश फाइनल में कल गोल्ड मेडल मैच।
आज कई वर्षों की तपस्या के बाद विनेश फोगाट का सपना साकार हुआ है और अपने सपने के साथ-साथ विनेश ने मेरा और करोड़ों देशवासियों का अधूरा सपना भी पूरा किया है।
पदक पक्का हो गया है।
यह जीत और बधाई उन लोगों के लिए है जो हमारे संघर्ष में हमारे साथ डट कर खड़े रहे.. सभी को बहुत बहुत बधाई विनेश को बहुत बहुत बधाई..👏👏🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳

Landing in Paris was already a triumph for Vinesh Phogat, and now, through her tears and smiles, we are living one of the goldenest moments of India's sporting history. #IndiaAtOlympics

[Sambit Bal @sambitbal]

@Isam84 Congratulations Isam. @ESPNcricinfo is a special because of its people. Well played.

If you wanted to make sense of what happened last night #INDvSL

One more Cricinfo original is gone, too soon. The word is used too loosely, but Robin Abrahams will remain a legend for anyone who knew him. @ESPNcricinfo will remain forever in gratitude https://t.co/p1J6VmgiB9

[Sambit Bal @sambitbal]

The great thing about Alcaraz is that he has bits of Federer, Djokovic and Nadal. And he is going get better #Alcaraz

[Sambit Bal @sambitbal]

Rarely have we seen Djokovic reduced to this kind of helplessness. And hopelessness #wimbledon

[Sambit Bal @sambitbal]

Jimmy Anderson’s career was a miracle. There will be never another like it. #JimmyAnderson

[Sambit Bal @sambitbal]

It's hard to remember if I fell in love with cricket because of Sunil Gavaskar or it was the other way. Here's my little tribute to him on his 75th

[ESPNcricinfo @ESPNcricinfo]

"A defence so immaculate that it was a thing of beauty, a cover drive of geometric precision that left no half-volley unpunished, and a minimalistic, no-fuss straight drive that told the bowler he had been had"

On Sunil Gavaskar's 75th birthday, a tribute from @sambitbal to a childhood hero https://t.co/3VmPtg47kn

When good things happens to good people, the joy is compounded.

[Sambit Bal @sambitbal]

The denial of runs for overturned lbw decisions ought to reconsidered, because it’s blatantly unfair. A simple tweak will do: umpires can just delay their decisions till the runs are completed
