So, Suryakumar Yadav leads India to a T20 World Cup win, and will never play another T20I for India. Is that the direction we're headed?

Wow! Good spot that @Sportskeeda! #INDvAFG

Yashasvi Jaiswal's streak of playing Test matches at new venues continues. Every Test venue in his career so far has been a new one. 🤯🔥

They say 'The most valuable compliment you can get is from your peers or your adversaries'. Here is Liam Livingstone, high praise on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi! #Cricket #TATAIPL #IPL

"I have never seen anything like it!" 😳

Liam Livingstone on what makes Vaibhav Sooryavanshi so special! 🤩

The first two balls @BhuviOfficial bowled in the #IPL2026Final were exactly this - one wobbled seam delivery that jagged back in first up, followed by one that landed on the seam, swung away and beat Shubman Gill's bat.

[Sachin Tendulkar @sachin_rt]

The details are where the difference is made. Well done! @BhuviOfficial 🙌🏻

Jumping the gun a little? Or become wiser after last year's indiscretion ?

There may be many factors for @gujarat_titans' poor showing with the ball against @RCBTweets last night. But I wonder if the 5 minutes wait before first ball, while the sightscreen was being fixed, upset Mohammed Siraj's rhythm & that first over set a poor tone for the innings

[Arun Gopalakrishnan @statanalyst]

The @gujarat_titans made 233-3 against @mipaltan on this very date two years ago - the highest total in an IPL Playoff match. They're at the receiving end today and will have a mountain to chase later tonight! #TATAIPL #IPL2026

I sincerely hope the @NTA_Exams is disbanded, or at least this version is dissolved and it is reconstituted again. @PMOIndia

[Arun Gopalakrishnan @statanalyst]

Imagine being a student who wrote the #NEET2026. You slog for whatever period, invest time & energy over a prolonged period of time, write the exam & then drop your guard. Now suddenly, because of some d******d's incompetence , you've got to write the examination again! #Cruel

I am absolutely fuming at the incompetence of the agency, its personnel and their ad-hoc decision-making. Dissolve the @NTA_Exams agency and leave it to the respective states.

[Arun Gopalakrishnan @statanalyst]

Has the Chairman of the NTA @NTA_Exams addressed the #NEET2026PaperLeak and the subsequent cancellation of the examination? Or is he still enjoying the cool comforts of his Air-conditioned office? Hold him accountable; he needs to be sacked. @PMOIndia @narendramodi

More runs in this one innings (203*) than he scored in the entire Ashes series Down Under (5 Tests, 10 innings. 202 Runs)!

Will the bowlers union propose this @SteelyDan66 @DaleSteyn62 @kartikmurali @irbishi @mmbangwa @alanwilkins22 @Swannyg66 ?

[Arun Gopalakrishnan @statanalyst]

Given that batters are bossing the game this IPL, is it time that the definition of a wicket be rewritten in the Playing conditions?

Has the time come for a "Beaten" or "2 Beatens" to be counted as a wicket, much like "3 strikes is Out" in Baseball?

In the context of the current-day IPL, how is a catch taken by a fielder - who is in the field at that moment as a substitute - treated, when the same player is named Impact Player later on in the same innings? @rgcricket @mohanstatsman

[Arun Gopalakrishnan @statanalyst]

Reading this makes me wonder if it is the people with the wrong attributes who force their way into politics, or if the system turns good people into the wrong kind of people? #Confusion
