Out of Four Semi Finalists, Why only India's venue is fixed to Guyana? Even if India had finished second in Super 8, their venue would have been Guyana. Why?
Why India Played 3 matches in New York whereas most teams travelled one venue to another?
@mufaddal_vohra
I think taking break or making him dropped from t20I actually helped virat.
He can completely focus on his favourite format.ODI.
And in 2023, India need best version of kohli if they really want to do something special.
@bhogleharsha
This has been the story for him throughout his IPL Career Harsha. Never had an Incredible IPL season. Only one 500+ score in 16 years.
FLOP IPL player carried by a great team.
@joybhattacharj
India Playing in New York is advantage because Before that India Played an Warm Up match there as well.
Before Playing Pakistan in Newyork, India already played 2 match there while it was Pakistan's first match in NY.
Sometimes, People Don't try to understand intentionally.
Played another 30 odd innings in semi final vs Pakistan. Contributed brilliantly in the field.
Suresh Raina - The underrated hero of that 2011 campaign.
The man for big moments - Suresh Raina.
He didn't start the World Cup, before the knock-out, he played only 1 innings then in Quarter, 12 years ago, against Australia, chasing 261, India was in big trouble with 187/5 & then Raina scored 34*(28).
I know Shubman Gill is in prime form but that in ODI format. That format suits him.
But T20 is not his game. He needs time to settle in. He got chance against SL and failed.
This time Prithvi shaw should have had a go against NZ.
#INDVsNZT20
#shaw
#Gill
He told bowlers to Take responsibility and he took care of Batting unit single handedly.
Scored 33% of team runs that season. Highest in the history of IPL.
David Warner - Greatest ever IPL Batter.
Warner said "I enjoyed my time in SRH, in 2016, we needed 4 games to win the tournament, I give responsibility to the bowlers, I told them, when you are coming to bowl, go like end, that is how we are going to win, our bowling group was the biggest reason we won". (BWC)
@cricketwithraju
Lol.
Power hitters tend to give maiden over cause later they can catch up. So they can play out one or two. That's their trait.
But genuine batters or anchors tend to score in 1s,2s. So they Don't allow bowler to get maiden over.
Misleading stats.
@TomMoodyCricket
Pat Cummins missread the pitch again tom.
Look what happened in first Qualifier. He again won the toss and aksed the best chasing side to chase again.
Didn’t learn any lesson from the first Qualifier.
Ridiculous.
This is Aiden Markram Lead South Africa Side
He gave South Africa their only World Cup Title (U-19)
This Lad Lead
@SunrisersEC
back to back SA20 title with relatively weak side
Now it's first assignment as a captain&his team is unbeaten to make it to the semis
#T20WorldCup
@BigManBakar
This Casemiro red card effects my FPl team badly.
United could have had more goal, if he was there.
Rather now conceding the goal means
NO CS for Shaw.
1 point less for both rahford and Bruno.
As Rash on triple, It's 3 point
So, one red card cost me at least 10 point.
#fpl
So happy for Abhishek Sharma. I Just felt he lost his spot and that would have been shattering for him. Man just scored 400 + last season.
though, He opens everywhere, but Could be our middle over game changer this season.

The Best part of seeing England vs Australia is you get to see Quality Cricket with Quality Commentary.
Where Tomorrow in India vs Pakistan you will get complete opposite.
Already feeling sick that I have to endure Wasim,Waqar,Gavaskar for 40 long overs.
#T20WorldCup
I know Bumrah is Great. His Number is unreal. But to be in the League of Sachin and Kohli - He needs to perform for another 3-4 years
He hasn’t even played 50 test, 100 ODI.
Let Him play and See where he finish.
#T20WorldCup
Saying steyn best of this generation is understatement.
He is the Greatest ever test fast bowler.
Nobody,literally nodody matches his record in this format.
Oriel Romeu vs Sofyan Amrabat.
One played for Girona and another Fiorentina.
I know he is not popular face among the fans, not played for any big team.
But Do some research before giving any lecture.
#romeu
Just Before the match had a feeling that Ajinkya Rahane would find a way to score runs no matter what.
He has that knack of scoring difficult runs.
Got Lucky but sometimes you need luck in your favour to succeed.
#ICCWorldTestChampionship
#Rahane
Pat Cummins has taken 217 Test wickets at a bowling average of 21.51
All other pacers in the same matches have a bowling avg of 30.58
Adjusted for the match average of pacers, he ranks second among all pacers to take 100+ Test wickets since 2005 after Dale Steyn
Any Thoughts?
MY SRH XI for the IPL 2023
Abhi
Mayank

Markram
Brook

Don't think SRH ever had this kind of batting depth in their history of ipl.
If the bowling line up deliver, this is going to be a massive season.

@SunRisers
So Arsenal already signed Kai Havertz for 65M.
Now Signed Declan Rice for 105M.
Gonna spend around 45M on Timber.
That's 210-215M money on three players.
And if still they fail to win anything this season...oh my gosh!
Jasprit Bumrah rightfully won the Player of the Tournament.
What a Legacy he is leaving behind! India were in Icc Trophy drought for 11 years, without t20 world cup for 17.
& It had to be Bumrah Masterclass throughout the tournament to finish the drought
#T20WorldCup
#Bumrah
Rugby is the most Popular game in South Africa. Cricket Second.
In Rugby, SA are the most successful team with (4 World Cup titles)
But in Cricket, It's always been the story of heart-break.
In 2023 The Springbok won the RWC.
Can the Proteas win it in 2024?
#T20WorldCup
Daryl Mitchell
Test Average - 57

One of the best All format player going around and can change the gear of innings any time.
Blockbuster Knock.
Since 2012, The Match Batting Average in tests is 30.4
In matches with a Batting Avg below 30.4 since 2012, Batters to score, Most:

Tom latham missed Shubman Gill's catch and Stumping when he was at 45(49).
Gill went to score 208 ( 149).
Next 163 in 100 balls.
Last 100 in just 58 balls.
This is Highest level of football.
Look at those match up
Messi vs Ronaldo
Guardiola vs Mourinho
Barcelona vs Real Madrid
UCL Semi Final.
The level and Quality is simply unmatched.
Man City Already PL Champion.
Brighton already qualified for European Football next season.
Still this Brighton vs City match giving us Such a Joy.
Football, The Beautiful Game, PEP the Master of it,De Zerbi Apprentice.
Battle of Beautiful Football.
What a day to be a sports lover...
1. WWE Royal Rumble.
2.Two of the Finest test matches of all time.
3. Australian Open Final is producing a five setter match.
Blockbuster Sunday.
Rahul Tripathi what a player!!!
From 9(10) to 44 off 22.
35 scored in the last 11 before he got out.
Not thinking about himself but just want to score quickly.
India needs more Tripathi type of player.
#Tripathi
#India
Never thought I would able to see any team winning 3 back to back PL titles in this era of Premier League. Where almost 8 teams fight for top 4, 10 fot top 6.
But Man City and Pep Guardiola made it possible.
PEP, Thank you from your biggest fan in the world.
Abhishek Sharma has arrived... Although I missed of the innings but certainly not the last 6 6 6 to reach his first international hundred.
Love you champ. Six hitting machine.
#AbhishekSharma
@Vasheegaran
Here's your answer
because the previous ball afridi came down the track and went extra over.
The next ball or so MS did this.
Brilliant Work and thinking nonetheless.
Man City Must set 1 Billion Buy Out Clause for Julian Alvarez. Gotta hold him for ever, any how. This guy is beyond special.

What a buy!
Nobody gave SRH a chance including me,being a life-long SRH Fan.
From 10th to competing for the Title, Revolutionised the T20 Game, Breaking all the batting records-What a Journey!
Thank You
@patcummins30
. No matter the outcome of the final, Proud of this team.
Happiness on Kavya Maran's face when Pat Cummins joined Orange Army. A historic moment in SRH history!
- RCB also went till 20.25cr for Cummins when they only had 23.75cr left in their purse.
@SelecaoTalk
Vinicius Junior 5 goals in 33 appearance for Brazil at the age of 23.
Neymar scored 4 goals in 5 match in a World Cup at the age of 22.
I Wish Vinicius played 2 seasons outside Real Madrid.
🚨 Alexis Mac Allister to Liverpool, here we go! Full agreement completed on the contract — understand it will be valid until June 2028. Five year deal.
#LFC
Liverpool will pay the buy out clause in the next days, way less than reported £60m fee.
Medical tests in 24/48h. Done.
The way Kohli and RCB fans been attacking
@bhogleharsha
for last three days makes me sick.
Kohli on that day was 40 (22), ended up with 61(44). Scored only 21 from last 22.
It was maxi's brilliance took them to 212
And It's 2023,still fanboys blv 210 enough at chennaswami.
1. It's 2023 and Still many of us believe 29 means he is ageing. It's not.
2. You Don't make all trns for long term. Sometimes you do it for immediate impact.
And if kova Plays for 3-4 years with full potential,That would be massive
Kovacic is a smart deal
#Kovacic
#city
Because Wicket is a non regular and bigger event in a Cricket match. Normally you get 5-6 wickets in a T20 match. Whereas You get 15-20 Boundary ball.
So It's natural.
#T20WorldCup
Cricket may forever be a "batsman's game", but one thing this World Cup has cemented for me is that fans absolutely lose their shit 1000 times bigger, louder & way more intensely when their side takes a wicket in the field than they do for any 4s or 6s when their side is batting.
Statistical Analysis of 20th Century Players Part-2:
As we did last time for test batters for period of 1990-2000; this time we'll do it for test bowlers for same period.
I'd like to say that it takes lot of time to do it & your honest opinion about it'll be appreciated...
1/n
KKR could go for N Jagadessan for their captaincy option. WK batter, going to play almost all the matches, is in red hot form and Learned from MS dhoni in CSK. 😂
#ipl
#kkr
#ms
#csk
RCB fans should thank Virat Kohli for his 6(4) knock. Otherwise, would have scored 50(38). That's where CSK would have won the game.
Great Knock from VK.
Seeing so much praise for Ederson for one good save. ( yes,one. Other three were normal for any GK) that shows his level as a shot stopper.
Dare I say it, If City can win UCL with Ederson, I'll cut my dick.
Trent Boult is just Magic.
Living in the Era of Mitchell Starc and Trent Boult. Two best white ball fast bowler in the history of the game.
Shaheen Shah Afridi is also coming through the rank.
Wasim Akram can go in Mud.
@WelBeast
Ancelotti is Great in ucl. He won two ucl with Milan,lost istanbul. 3 UCL Final but guess what? won only on league title with that milan.
Certain managers have certain genre. He is great for Knockout football. Yes, he is one of the best but certainly not the greatest.
Arteta is the only coach who is playing these friendly match like a competitive one.
All the other managers making subs in at HT whether Arteta played Odegaard full 90 min agaisnt united, now 60+ Against barca.
Making other subs at 70 mins

In the era of Jake Fraser, Abhishek, Salt, Head etc etc where they are scoring fifties in some 15-17 balls, Babar Azam currently on 7(22)* that too against mighty USA.
The God’s gift Bobzy the King🥺😍
When a team get 99 after full 20 over, you expect a superb spell from one or two bowler from your side.
But in this case, India's Best bowler is Arshdeep 7/2.
Great all round bowling performance from India.

@fedballtennis
Federer in his 35-36 faced 30-31 year old Djokovic, Nadal.
Still almost in all the tournament he played Semi Final or Final or Won title.
I Don't know whom Djokovic facing currently at his 35-36.
In terms Of Longevity Federer is Absolutely unreal.
@SunRisers
If You have any issue with Glenn Philips, bring on Markram then.
But You just can't play Vyaskanth as a foreign player. As simple as that.
@patcummins
Not an opinion but a fact actually...
Sachin was not lone warrior for Indian Team in 90s(as narrative set for other Indian players were useless)
Atteched snap of Indian batters record in away ODI games from 1990-00 & in none of the country Sachin topped the Avg(not even at home)
Admit it or not Dhoni Made it wrong.
Didn’t have any option in the last 5 over.
I can still understand the logic behind pathirana 3 straight in the death.
But Tushar Deshpande in 17 and 19? He could've used at least one if had left with an option.
Just I was writing that It's a one Boundary over game for South Africa, De kock has made a mistake.
You got the boundary & play for a single just like you guys did in last 5-6 overs.
De Kock will be kicking himself.India one wicket away...
#T20WorldCup
Roger Federer at his 37-38 was going toe to toe against 31-32 years old Novak Djokovic.
And here,Djokovic, at the age of 36 losing to Jannik Sinner.

#DjokovicSinner
People are talking about Harry Brook and I get that. But In terms of Biggest Failure of this tournament has to be Sam Curran.
This is Brook's first season and can happen. Many Big Shot couldn’t justify their price tag or failed early in their career.
But Curran+
