KL Rahul slotted at number 3 on team sheet.

Journalists and Cricket Influencers on Twitter writes a thesis linking this decision to Virat Kohli.

Chad Gautam Gambhir sends Ishan Kishan on number 3.

Unreal cooking 😂

[Chayan Rastogi @tweetchayan]

Gujarat Titans is the most boring team to watch. And they just chased 214 with minimum fuss and are now in IPL Finals!

Who will win - RCB or GT? I don’t think it matters because history will remember IPL 2026 for only one man- Vaibhav Suryavanshi ❤️

[Abhilash Thapliyal @abhilashthapli]

Itna gyan pelne ke baad itni tatti acting karne ki himmat bhi kaise kar sakte ho bhai..! 🤢

Also, it’s not funny anymore as random influencers and arrogant clickbait journos land and waste meaty parts, while genuine talent is still queueing up to even get an audition.

FUCK YOU privilege. 🖕🏼

Shashank Singh aur Naman Dhir rozana 2-3 catch drop karte hain.

Commentators: Acche fielder hain vaise!

😂😂😂

[KBP Reviews @KshitizCritic]

I don’t do drugs, but I genuinely want to know the material that Manoj Muntashir was smoking while writing this scene 😭

[Kuldeep Mishra / sardar @kuldeepmishra]

Zero cricket knowledge 😁

Unpopular Opinion.

Hardik Pandya ne batting se aakhiri match kaunsa jitaya tha? IPL, ICC, Bilateral- any!

I am waiting.

Watching Vaibhav Suryavanshi smash Josh Hazlewood is why I pay subscription money to Jio Hotstar.

What a star!

People saying he is reading lines from teleprompter have never read anything from teleprompter in life 😂😂

[chhavi💫 @abeyarrrrrr]

Ranbir Kapoor reads lines from the teleprompter during scenes in TJMM, with his eyes focused there instead of looking at the faces 😿

To start as first choice in Playing 11, Ishan Kishan needs to improve his wicket keeping first. As a batsman, he will keep both openers- Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill on toes. A lot can change in next 12 months.

[Vikrant Gupta @vikrantgupta73]

Ishan Kishan will push for a batsman-wicket keeper slot in ODIs too. Sunil Gavaskar has picked him for the Orange Cap this IPL season

[Chayan Rastogi @tweetchayan]

Well done @TriColourBeard

[TriColorBeard @TriColourBeard]

I travelled the T20 World Cup with my TriColorBeard with Mahindra XUV.

A heartfelt thank you to Mahindra & Mahindra for being the backbone of this incredible ride.

Special thanks to Anand Mahindra Sir. #mahindra #anandmahindra #tricolorbeard #mahindraxuv

On a pitch where New Zealand won the toss, decided what they thought was best suited to their team- this assessment from @pradeepmagazine tells you what is wrong with likes of Sharda Ugra and Mr. Magazine today. Apni jalan me itne jal chuke hain ki apni izzat ko aag laga di hai.

[Pradeep Magazine @pradeepmagazine]

We will rejoice at Indian batters making a mockery of New Zealand bowling forgetting the fact that providing a wicket so perfect for hitting the ICC is making a mockery of the sport itself.

Wrote this last week.

Barring Axar Patel brilliance last match, India fielding has been shit.

[Chayan Rastogi @tweetchayan]

India has to be worst fielding side for more than a year now. Abhishek Sharma, Kuldeep Yadav, Shivam Dube- have been repeat offenders.

Bas medal waali bachkodi hoti rahegi. Kaptaan se press conference me pooch lo to 40 daant dikha dega bhai 😡

[Chayan Rastogi @tweetchayan]

@nibraz88cricket @Twiter17358221 He is here for humiliation 😂😂

Rage bait. Eats maa bahan ki gaaliya. Thinks he is popular. Repeat.

[Chayan Rastogi @tweetchayan]

In a world of planted soft questions in press conference, be a @AnkanKar 🙌

In last 10 years, Press conferences have become a joke with fan clubs glorifying MSD, Virat Kohli, SKY hitting back at journalists who asks straight questions.

Not any more.

[Ankan Kar @AnkanKar]

When I asked if they can bring Sanju Samson to play at Ahmedabad Press Conference. I was replied with"Kisko drop karu?" (Who should I drop?) Today, Sanju's bat did the talking. 97* & a ticket to the Semi-Finals later. Redemption isn't given; it’s earned. This is the power of backing elite talent. The "Sanju Era" is officially here 🇮🇳🔥#Sanju #SanjuSamson #semifinals

[Chayan Rastogi @tweetchayan]

@Tutulputull Worst fielding side hai India last 12 maheene me. Sabse jyada catch drop kiye hain. Naam Tej Pal but pal you are very slow to understand this.

@Nk14k Bhai poora tournament, bilaterals, Asia Cup- kehna nahi chaahiye par fielding standard hamara Pakistan se bhi bura raha hai!

[Chayan Rastogi @tweetchayan]

Kaash ChatGPT haraam hoti.
Kam se kam samajh to aata ki Maulana Yousaf kehna kya chaahte hain 😂

We were loud and clear in declaring we were headed for the finals. Turns out, they meant the final moments of a sinking ship. Do we even have enough life jackets, or is this just another Titanic? No worries! #PSL is around the corner, and this embarrassment will soon be forgotten as pride rises again. #SLvsPAK
