If IPL wants quality cricket then teams need to have more international players... every team should have at least 10internationals in squad...increase the number of foreign players...IPL is not grooming platform for players it is about the best and the most lucrative cricket league in the world...so treat it like that... Players who deserve it plays it...IPL should be a dream not a platform for grooming players @BCCI@IPL
idk how to explain this but a small part of me is still looking for virat kohli on the field.
we won.
we actually did it again.
back to back world cups in a format where even staying consistent feels like a miracle.
and i’m genuinely happy.
happy for this team. happy for the way they handled the pressure. happy for sanju samson, a comeback story that took years of patience and doubt and silence.
but somewhere in the middle of all this celebration & noise… there’s a small void.
the kind you don’t realise exists until the game begins and you subconsciously wait for someone to walk in.
virat charging across the field.
rohit with that calm awkward expression before a big moment. that familiar feeling of our guys are still here.
and then you realise… time moved.
this team is new now.
and that’s when it hits you , this is probably how the previous generation felt too.
when people slowly stopped seeing saurav ganguly walking out to bat. when sachin tendulkar wasn’t there anymore to carry the hopes of millions of people. when gautam gambhir’s intensity disappeared from big games or even earlier when kapil dev’s era quietly ended.
every generation grows up obsessing over a specific set of players.
you defend them in arguments.
you memorise their innings.
you fight for them against the odds.
you measure every new player against them.
and then one day they’re gone… and the game keeps going.
new heroes arrive. new stories begin.
maybe a few years from now some kid will grow up watching this current team and believe this was the greatest indian side ever.
the same way we believed ours was.
that’s the strange beauty of sport.
players change. teams evolve. eras end.
but the feeling of belonging to your generation of cricket never really leaves.
These are the kind of matches where you miss Virat Kohli, the one who always found a way to rise during tough times. He has pulled India out of collapse so many times but some cricket pundits, experts criticised him for slow batting or anchoring.
I have perhaps the spiciest take on T20 cricket. It is not a serious form of the sport, it has its place as entertainment at a franchise level but it does not need to be played at the international level.
I think a sportsperson's wish to stop playing at a particular age should be respected.But if the athlete is Virat Kohli,he should be cooked for the rest of his life for retiring early!
24 year old harshit rana after playing 40 balls denies a double to 37 year old virat kohli who’s played over 95 balls. Virat kohli will never be born again.
A friend called me anti-Indian just because I said our AQI and Uber conditions are worse than Australia.
I believe pointing out problems isn’t anti-India. Ignoring them is.
The Asia Cup format is deliberately designed to make India and Pakistan play thrice in a span of 2 weeks.
It is essentially a bilateral series disguised as a multi team tournament.
Government of India and BCCI have disgraced themselves in not pulling out of this tournament.
If you want to watch India vs Pakistan in the Asia Cup, that’s your call.
But if you’ve decided not to, then stick to it. Don’t casually switch to the channel or app thinking, “What difference will my one view make? I’ll just check the score.” Even a single minute of viewing is recorded in the TRP system.
So if you can’t resist the urge, it’s more honest to watch the full match than to sneak in for the key moments while believing you’re still part of a boycott.
