Every year we get to witness these spectacles, last year it was Sri Lankan airlines..

[Sharown Sundararajah @SSCricket93]

@lew1ya Slightly pricier during the general time but always available so the price is justified. Uber also has its downsides in post ride services, it's very easier to write words on water than resolve a complaint with Uber. So we need to pick and choose which downside we do not prefer!!

How did this become such a special "mission" in SL?

SSC Test could have been a Day Night Test.

@DArmChairCritic The man is an actual genius. The only beef I have with him is not considering Chandimal for the 2011 World Cup after his 100 in Zimbabwe.

[Sharown Sundararajah @SSCricket93]

@Uppercut07 Not just that, man made a show by being the first to jump out from the Rajapaksa government just before Yahapalanaya. NGL even I fell for it.

This isn't a good move. The ink is part of our display of participatory civic duty and responsibility. It's a statement saying "I voted, you should too".

[Harsha de Silva @HarshadeSilvaMP]

This Govt was about to fine your local shop Rs. 1 million for not registering for VAT.

The same Govt that let online casinos pay nothing.

The same Govt where the National Film Corporation collected VAT and didn't remit it.

The same Govt applying a tax that's actually 22%, not the 18% they advertise.

Expanding the tax base is right. But it must be equitable, not a system that squeezes the small trader while the powerful walk free.

We raised it at COPF. We raised it in @ParliamentLK. 95% of public responses said this was wrong.

Today they backed down. The threshold stays at Rs. 60 million. That's not their win. That's yours. 🇱🇰

I am really hoping someone is around her to remind her that she beat India to win an Asia Cup and beat England in England with this very LIMITED pool of talent.

Captaincy has very little to do with doing well in WCs. A lot of things need to go right at the right time in WCs.

Rumesh Tharanga Pathirage continues his remarkable form 🇱🇰🥇

Sri Lanka’s javelin star claimed gold at the Ostrava Golden Spike Athletics Championships in the Czech Republic with a superb throw of 86.57m, finishing first in the men’s event.

Just weeks after rewriting history with a 92.62m Sri Lankan record and Diamond League-winning throw, Rumesh proves he is among the world’s very best

[The Armchair Critic @DArmChairCritic]

I am more scared now. His intent with the bat and this attitude usually don't go well with the Sri Lankan fans.

[Amila Kalugalage @akalugalage]

Matheesha Pathirana has successfully undergone a left biceps femoris open surgical hamstring repair and has now begun the road to recovery in France 🇫🇷.

This journey was made possible with the outstanding support of Sri Lanka Cricket and Kolkata Knight Riders and we are truly grateful for their commitment to his wellbeing.

He will work hard, stay focused and be back doing what he loves soon.

See you back on the field stronger than ever. 💪🦁

CID officials accused of luxury spending in London to investigate RW luxury spending in London!

That’s funny! 😂

[Cham J @Uppercut07]

The headlines should be about #KugathasMathulan from Jaffna, holding his own against more experienced, better trained opponents.

But the #lka idiot fans and journalists as usual running with the tabloid garbage Indian media are peddling.

And those idiot fans in RR jerseys 😅

[Derek Hunter @derekahunter]

Fun fact: Exactly zero of these people were in office in 2018, when FIFA announced the World Cup was coming to the US, literally NONE of it occurs in New York City or New York State, and the Governor of New Jersey just got into office. These people did nothing.

[Sharown Sundararajah @SSCricket93]

For the good of the guy, people shouldn't be condoning him getting physical.

He has every right to give it back. Proper way to give it back is give it verbally if not the ideal way is to give it back with your performance next time.

[Abhishek Kumar @Abhishek060722]

Big statement by Tilak Varma in the post-match press conference.💥

"Look, I am not here to lecture someone, but the way Sri Lanka players behaved with a 15-year-old kid, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, I didn't like it.

I don't know what happened, but one thing is sure, Vaibhav was going peacefully after the match, but the Sri Lankan players tried to fight with him. This is not good for cricket, nor for India-Sri Lanka relations.👏

[Sharown Sundararajah @SSCricket93]

Not too sure what's the corelation between IPL and dropping catches is.

[Ude @udendra]

Both "IPL boys" dropping sitters of Rutherford. How can you win matches like this? 🤦‍♂️

[Malay Krishna @Malay4Product]

Vaibhav Suryavanshi is 15 years old, and I fear the people around him are setting him up to fail.

That is what bothered me most about today.

Let me walk you through what happened in Dambulla.

India A batted first. Vaibhav came out and did what he does, 21 off 14 balls, hitting like the game owed him money. And then he was gone. Both openers back in the hut for 39. The middle order folded after that. It looked like India A would not even reach 150.

Then two lower order boys, Suryansh Shedge with 72 and Vipraj Nigam with 51, fought back and dragged the team to 265. Decent score.

But somewhere in the middle of that fightback, Vipraj Nigam ran straight down the protected middle of the pitch. The umpires warned the team. Then he did it again.

The rule gives 5 runs to the other side each time. So Sri Lanka A started their innings with 10 runs already gifted to them.

The match ended up tied. It went to a super over. Sri Lanka won it.

The behaviour around all of this is the real worry.

Tilak Verma stood there arguing with the umpires, going on and on about the fading light. Vaibhav got pulled into an ugly face off with the Sri Lankan players, then lost his temper completely after the game.

And in the super over, chasing 17, the team somehow did not send Vaibhav, their most explosive hitter, to face the first ball.

Now let's pause for a moment and take a look at the kid in the middle of all this.

Vaibhav is 15. He won the Orange Cap in the IPL. He can hit any bowler in the world over any boundary. The talent is not in question and never has been.

The environment around him off late has been questionable.

A 15 year old does not know how to handle this much pressure and this much attention on his own. That is not his job. That is the job of the coaches, the seniors, the management.

They are supposed to be the calm adults in the room. They are supposed to cool him down when he is boiling, set the batting order properly and stop him before he ends up in pushing and shoving on the field.

Today they did the opposite. They let the tempers run. They let a teenager get dragged into a fight. They left him out of the most important six balls of the game.

Instead of shielding him, they let him soak up all the chaos around him.

This is how you ruin a special talent. You surround a young kid with people who lose their heads, who argue, who chase drama, and one day the kid starts copying all of it.

He stops being the boy who smiles and clears the ropes and becomes just another hot headed player who melts when the game gets tight.

We have seen this movie before in Indian cricket. Huge teenage talent, wrong people around him, and five years later everyone is asking what went wrong. Yes, I am looking at your Prithvi.

Vaibhav is too good to let that happen to him.

Please, please, put steady heads around this boy. Senior players who calm him down, coaches who teach him to walk away, a setup that protects him from his own age.

Give him the right people, and he becomes a generational batter. Give him this, and we will waste him.

[Sharown Sundararajah @SSCricket93]

Next year, VS and Vishen might be hugging each other playing for RR while all the fan boys will be going after either of them till then! 😂

[Gangadhar @gangadhar_11]

The player who started abusing Vaibhav plays for Rajasthan Royals team in SA20 Paarl royals. 😭

Given how much Laxmi mittal values Vaibhav, one call by Vaibhav to Romi sir and he will be kicked out of Paarl without second thought.
