@GabbbarSingh 15 years ago, teenage me, 'mai bhi anna' skull cap on my head, Ramlila Maidan and similar disillusions. I was saved as social media wasn't so vile back then.
These kids are in for some harsh lessons.
May God help her and I hope her parents are well equipped to deal with this.

@GabbbarSingh Bhai badhiya paisa lagwa diye ho kya kisi client ka is series pe?
Ye saare ad agency aur media waale hi r-rona machaye hue hai Sooryavanshi ka. Zara sabr kar lo, itne buland sitare hai uske to jo raha hai acha hi ho raha hoga uske saath.

@vikramchandra Mediocre. That's your understanding of cricket and team sports.

[Shubh Agarwal @shubh_chintak]

One of the biggest ironies: in a cricket-crazy country like India, opportunities in cricket coverage are surprisingly limited.

That said, I’m now exploring new opportunities after my stint at Cricinfo.

Been covering cricket for a living since 2017, with a strong focus on match analysis, storytelling and editorial work. If you are looking for someone to add value to your cricket coverage in the coming days (or long term), lets get in touch.

RT for better reach 🙏

Finally, something nice on the internet.

That Haydos interview with Kohli was one for generations. Especially the last question, beautifully put and the way Kohli paused for a second and then let his emotions become words. Wow! Even Haydos was in tears. #RCB

@IPL @RailMinIndia @AshwiniVaishnaw @JayShah Ye Naya Bharat hai. Proud 💪

Been watching Cricket for 25+ years, don’t remember a day when India was this dominant in a Day’s play against Australia.

[Siddhartha Ranjan @sidrtweets]

Fuck Kohli's form. Fuck Rohit's captaincy. Fuck Yashavi's Australia debut.

White noise.

I can't wait to watch Jasprit Bumrah at the top of his runup.

JB wins the toss, looks at Cummins, pauses for a few beats, and then says, "we'll bowl first," with an evil smile. Cinema.

Observe the delay at 19.4, which was due to the fielder being moved to his right, which happened because Pant put the last ball there and got a boundary. Pant observed, delayed his shot, and put it exactly where the gap was.

Perfect example of someone who's on top of his game.

Basit Ali "Rishabh Pant scored 60 in the 1st inning and 64 in the 2nd.What can I say about this kid? People might say he’s worth 25 crore,but in my opinion,he should go for 50 crore in the IPL.When he was batting, it looked as if it was a flat pitch."

@erbmjha @ArvindKejriwal 🤣

[Siddhartha Ranjan @sidrtweets]

Neeraj Chopra is back at practice, Manika Batra is back at practice, PV Sindhu is back at practice, and so are most other athletes barring one who is doing road shows with politicians.

[Siddhartha Ranjan @sidrtweets]

Bachpan mein jis dard ke saath cricket dekhte the ab wo olympics mein wapas aa gaya.

Thanks to IPL, nobody in the world can boss us around in cricket.

@TheBarmyArmy The England tours are never going to be the same again. The final frontier for any Indian batting legend in the last 2 decades used to be the test by Jimmy Anderson during the England tour.

Test cricket loses one of its best advertisements.

Farewell, and thank you!

@ShashiTharoor @BCCI Ify bhai-wasay bhai India version. English edition.

@GabbbarSingh Chapri Pro max, ab naye laal color mein.

[Siddhartha Ranjan @sidrtweets]

I'm glad nobody carried Virat/Rohit on their shoulders yesterday. Not now. The job isn't done yet. Carry on. Accolades, jubilation, and legacy await. Now is the time to rule.
...and yes, someday, some other young prodigy will recognize and respect your contributions.

[Gabbar @GabbbarSingh]

This will bring tears to your eyes. Watch

[Siddhartha Ranjan @sidrtweets]

Sorry, Bhogle sahab, we are mere mortals, our worship is our support, and any call to rally behind the King is nothing but an insult. He is way beyond any criticism. Let the man enjoy.

To be honest, I love the intent that Virat is playing with in this WC.

[Harsha Bhogle @bhogleharsha]

Sometimes there is very angry and vicious banter from fan clubs on social media. When a player is down is the time to show your class. And this is the time to get behind Virat Kohli who could well produce a match winning performance in the final. But irrespective, this is the time to rally around

[Siddhartha Ranjan @sidrtweets]

@MichaelVaughan Pathetic red ball team, shittier white ball cricketers.
