I am on the lookout for cricket media job openings/opportunities in the UK, aiming to start after the completion of my MA in Digital Media in the fall.

RCB! Where do I start? I was 8, and now I'm 24, I celebrated this first cup with the joy of a child and the tears of a fan who has seen every kind of disappointment in the last 16 years. This is more than a sporting triumph; it's a celebration of our sporting fandom. Savour it!

There isn’t a more worthless, hypocritical fanbase than CSK in cricket. So spoiled by success that they lack grace and the ability to be anything but sore losers.
Policing celebrations and morality when they’ll have done the exact same.
CSK fans are top-tiers. If they had defeated RCB, they would have trolled RCB.
Now, they are just hiding behind Kohli's celebrations as an excuse. They would have been mad regardless. You've been watching Kohli for 15 years, his celebrations and aggression aren't new.

The Dhoni incident was one of those moments that showed the IPL was a farce, with the superstars allowed to do whatever they please. He should have been banned for five games in a fair world.
MS legit entered the field in an ongoing game, held up the game, had an altercation with umpires, thats being celebrated as an Alpha Male event!!
Young guy celebrating after taking a wicket is an issue here!

Hasaranga over Chahal was the correct choice regardless. Who knew the unserious IPL would introduce a new rule next year changing dynamics completely?
People analyse decisions for a 11-man tournament with Impact Player context now.
Shane Watson on Jio Cinema:
"There’s definitely someone at RCB who doesn't know much about cricket. That's why he let Yuzi Chahal go."
Watson realizes Mike Hesson is standing with him in the panel and goes,"I am not talking about this great man here." 😂😂

This is ridiculous, they've completely ignored the culture of the country. Typical to portray India as about rice, spicy food, poverty, poor English and cringy music. India don't need a White saviour. We're good without them.

NRR is the simplest application of the math we studied in school. If people get confused, then maths should be abolished as a standard subject.
Having five games at the same time will never happen. Besides, why aren’t people complaining about the unequal groups instead?
There are two changes that I’d propose for next season’s IPL
1. Introduction of the Bonus Points for winning a game with a huge margin. NRR is absolute but over 14 games is a tough math to understand. Bonus point is a tangible reward for playing significantly better. And also,

A big thank you to Mike Hesson. If there was any three year period I would have wanted us to be competent, it was 2020-2022. RCB provided a lot of joy in the pandemic years and Hesson did a great job at bringing us back from the dumpster szn of 2019.
