Do not underestimate the power of Virat Kohli’s words today. He is India’s biggest cricketing icon. And has spoken like a public figure with a conscience and a true leader to all his teammates. Kudos to him. 👏🏻👏🏻

We are on the brink of a war that nobody in their right mind in either Pakistan or India want. Imran Khan's words should be welcomed. Encourage dialogue, commit to deescalation. Anyone who thinks otherwise should for a moment swap places with Abhinandan & his family

Sincere appreciation tweet for Umpire Nitin Menon. Stood in all four Tests & 6/8 LOIs. Excellent in his decision making, commanded the respect of players from both sides, not intimated by superstars & miles ahead of his Indian colleagues. And he's just 37! Best wishes to him!

Mohammed Shami wasn’t viciously abused because he had an ‘off-day’. 9 players had an off-day yesterday. While it’s nice to see support for him from current & former players, would be prudent for them to also acknowledge & condemn the reason for it.

Timely reminder that Ruturaj Gaikwad’s first three scores of IPL 2021 were 5, 5 & 10. Fleming was unequivocal that the franchise would support & back him.Since then 64, 33, 75, 4, 88*, 38, 40, 45 & 101* today. No team like CSK, no coach like Flem, no leader like Dhoni in the IPL!

I'm glad you guys got the World Cup headline right. 'England benefit from Boult boundary misjudgment, ricochet overthrows, umpiring miscalculation & absurd boundary-count rule to win Cricket World Cup' would've been so unnecessary & tasteless, right?

Hanuma Vihari is the kind of batsman who will almost always be under pressure for his place in the team. Plays one format, sixth in the pecking order, dispensable during home Tests & not in public eye during IPLs. That the team has backed him sets an excellent precedent.

Does not matter that he's ended up on the losing side. Had absolutely NO support. IF he continues to bat like this for India at the World Cup, there is no keeper-batsman his equal at the moment.

As things stand, the skillset Hardik Pandya possesses is of the highest value in white ball cricket. Ability to hit sixes off fast bowling from the get go, adaptability to rescue innings in ODIs & temperament to see games through under pressure. And he can bowl!

There is no greater takeaway from the last few months than an exceptionally special player finding his rightful place in every India side. Been saying it for ages, just back him, he's bound to come good, and he was so, so good. This has been the summer of Rishabh Pant. 👏👏👏

Nitin Menon has been India’s top domestic umpire for years. He was promoted to the ICC elite panel at 36. He made a mistake last night. One which the laws he doesn’t write cannot rectify. This kind of mockery is one reason why ex-internationals don’t take up umpiring in India.
I don’t agree with the man of the match choice . The umpire who gave this short run should have been man of the match.
Short Run nahin tha. And that was the difference.

Got to feel for Kuldeep Yadav. Played just 5 games last IPL, lost his place in the white-ball teams, didn't get a game in Australia and continues to warm the bench today. He's a much, much better bowler than that. Hope the team management handles him well.

Caught on the boundary but Boult’s foot went over, six overthrows off the bat, should’ve been lbw - review lost, should’ve been run out, Lyon drops the ball. Video footage, yet not guilty of affray. Ben Stokes is a once in a generation player, but who aligns his stars for him!

Shubman Gill for Boxing Day. And yes it’s harsh on Prithvi to get just one Test, but there was a clear lack of confidence in him even before this one, and he’s lucky to have still played. Plus Australia have clearly exposed a technical weakness as well.

Takeaways from Aus ODI series:
1. MSD’s runs a massive confidence boost to him & team, India must look to use him as a floater, with right men to follow.
2. Kedar Jadhav adds tremendous balance, must play over Rayudu for now.
3. Shami looking great
4. CHAHAL + KULDEEP, always

He has single-handedly won them 3 games this season alone. But for AB, RCB wouldn’t have made the playoffs. The team has its problems, but AB isn’t one of them!

Takeaways from this series:
1. Rahul the undisputed No. 1 T20I opener.
2. Shami, Saini excellent. Saini must play more.
3. Sympathies for Dube the bowler, but Dube the batsman has been disappointing.
4. Pandey, Jadeja quietly making themselves undroppable.
5. Poor Pant

While Rahane's innings is the biggest difference without a doubt, there is also an early vindication of his selection calls. To trust Pant & Jadeja's batting was in the eyes of many a gamble, but they've both played quietly significant cameos to give India the advantage
