Not surprising that Arjun Tendulkar handled the pressure of bowling the last over well. He must have been handling pressure since childhood. Pressure of being a Tendulkar. #MIvsSRH

Nice to see a bit of Test within a T20 contest. You don't get that very often. But then, not often do you get two teams screaming mediocrity in the same match. Who's the worst? #DCvKKR

Not the fours and sixes, what's best about the IPL is how the young players circle around a Dhoni or a Kohli to squeeze out some wisdom out of the masters. Imagine a rookie singer getting to speak to a Kishore Kumar or a Rafi after every stage performance. #CSKvSRH

Was watching highlights of #LSGvGT and still don't understand how a sane person could bat like that! What kind of match awareness was that from a player who was being paraded as a future India captain not too long back? And he still has the balls to talk! Oh, he had many balls!

Russell is overrated. He has the muscles, so he swings the bat. If it hits the sweet spot, good, if not, it looks as funny as Hulk playing cricket and failing miserably at it. KKR too can't think beyond Russell. There's no রস in Dre Russ. #CSKvsKKR

Didn't see Sarfaraz Khan bat in Ranji Trophy. But from what I've seen in the IPL, he certainly doesn't seem to be the guy with tons of fc runs in the last few seasons. A decent batter shouldn't be that clueless. He is sweeping a yorker! God save cricket. #DCvsSRH

This yorker is so overrated that when it goes wrong, the bowler looks like a kid throwing stones mindlessly into the pond because the water will not hit back. Is yorker the only option to contain runs, even when you can't bowl it? What Holder bowled were 'fool' tosses. #MIvRR

How would have Virat Kohli reacted if he was the Delhi Capitals captain today? He sure wouldn't have given 'Hardik' subhkamnaen to Titans for the rest of the season. #DCvsGT

Yashasvi Jaiswal batting like dream is alright, but will Team India be grown up enough to make space for him at the top in the coming months? Or will he carry drinks for months before his form goes dry? That's the big question. Sawal Jaiswal ka! #IPL2O23 #RRvsKKR #jaiswal

Everyone knew Shubman Gill was set for big things except KKR. Who is the big fish who wanted no Gill? Must be a Clownfish. #ShubmanGill #MIvGT #IPL2023

This has been an IPL of last overs. But for Dhoni, it might not be the last, neither is it over. He says so. #IPL2023Final #MSDhoni #cskfans #cskvsgt

Whatever is the logic of playing Jadeja ahead of Ashwin in overseas conditions, it's bullsh*t. If neither gets too much help from the wicket, Ashwin is a better bet for me. And with the bat too, Ashwin is not really tailender stuff. Aus pick Lyon first. Why? #INDvsAUS #WTCFinal

Alcaraz has the class, the shots, the temperament, but does he have the knees to stand up after making those insane chases? That's what makes a good tennis player a great. #Alcaraz #FrenchOpen2023

The rants on Twitter and elsewhere dissecting India's loss in #WTCFinal are just noises from a hollow tin. Face it, without Bumrah and Pant, India's record overseas is as good as Pujara's ramp shot. But wait, we have the IPL, we mint superstars every year. #WTC2023Final

This is exactly what is wrong with Indian cricket. When the idea is to be sensational, not sensible, yellove (whatever that means) is what you get. Yell as much as you want, our cricket runs in a loop, loopholes intact. Love. #WTCFinal #WTC2023Final #BCCI

This #Ashes2023 how a Test match/series should be, not three-day slapstick dramas on shambolic pitches. In the name of home advantage, we dish out substandard cricketing contests year after year and take pride in it. Turners are alright if they are not turn-offs.

Ready for party? The Proteas can play party-poopers, but who cares, the King is in the house. #INDvsSA #WorldCup2023 #BCCI #Virat telegraphindia.com/sports/cricket…

Was India over-cautious? It seemed so. Pant and Reddy's approach is perhaps a better template to score runs in Australia. The Pujara way is a great way, but for that you need a Pujara-like defence & patience. Too much of Pujara talk. This team should bat like they can. #INDvsAUS
