Who would have been your pick as Hardik Pandya's replacement? Why? My pick: Axar Patel Although he's a spin all-rounder, he'd have been an option as a specialist batter who could give a few overs. #CWC23 #CWC2023

Shreyas Iyer, Shubman Gill, KL Rahul and now Rohit Sharma. How are these players' places in ODI team being doubted? Cannot judge his recent ODI form but if Rohit scores 90 runs in his next ODI innings, he would achieve his peak ODI average, that too in his 266th match.

Congratulations India!! This group deserved to win an ODI title together completely. Rohit Sharma has been excellent as the captain winning 15 out of 16 ODIs in ICC events. #INDvNZ #ChampionsTrophy

ODI World Cup: 1983 as a player U19 World Cup: 2000 as a coach Champions Trophy: 2013 as a selector T20 World Cup: 2024 as BCCI President Champions Trophy: 2025 as BCCI President Fifth ICC title for Roger Binny!! #INDvNZ #ChampionsTrophy2025

KL Rahul, Axar Patel and Hardik Pandya played big impact innings throughout the tournament. Virat Kohli's innings in Final or Suresh Raina's contributions in QF and SF of 2011 World Cup were similar. In ODI format impact cannot be seen by only looking at the scorecard.

India Top 6 of CWC 2023 played all the matches but India also used a left-handed batter with them very well. Didn't expect both KL and Shreyas to play ahead of Pant but Rohit and management backed them. #INDvNZ #ChampionsTrophy2025

This Indian team is truly an all time great & the numbers back it up... In this decade (since 2020), only five batters have managed to score 2000+ runs while maintaining a 45+ average & a 90+ strike rate; and incredibly, all five are Indians! Total supremacy👏

Probable first XI for India had Bumrah been available Rohit (ODI debut 2007) Gill (2019) Virat (2008) Shreyas (2017) Axar (2014) Rahul (2016) Hardik (2016) Jadeja (2009) Kuldeep (2017) Bumrah (2016) Shami (2013) Most recent debutant would have been Gill (more than 6 years ago).

Virat Kohli has now played 91 international matches under Rohit Sharma. Will the pair join Mahela Jayawardene and Sanath Jayasuriya?

Hayley Matthews and Nat Sciver-Brunt both scored 77 runs in the same innings today (highest individual score repeated in a team innings in WPL). The highest individual score repeated in a team innings in IPL is also 77 (David Warner and Virender Sehwag vs KXIP in 2011).

Checked the record for balls faced per match and balls bowled per match in ODI format for players with a minimum of 100 ODIs. Below is the Top 30 after combining the two. Which are the names you expected but missed out and unexpected names who are part of the list?

Players with a big gap between final international appearance and final IPL appearance: Laxmi Ratan Shukla 1999, 2014 Piyush Chawla 2012, 2024 Pankaj Dharmani 1997, 2008 Karn Sharma 2014, 2024 Mohit Sharma 2015, 2024 Sandeep Sharma 2015, 2024 Any other names?

The cricket festival begins today. Hopefully a lot of exciting cricketing action coming our way. But before that, here's a short 🧵on one of my favorite IPL topics. The thread is based on a few players, you may not know featured in the Indian Premier League, or were a part of

1) विजेता संघ - MI 2) उपविजेता संघ - PBKS 3) टॉप 4 संघ - MI, KKR, CSK, PBKS 4) ऑरेंज कॅप - यशस्वी जैस्वाल 5) पर्पल कॅप - अर्शदीप सिंह 6) स्पर्धेतील सर्वोत्तम खेळाडू (मालिकावीर)- हार्दिक पंड्या #IPL2025 #KKRvsRCB

Generally "Team of the tournament" is selected after the tournament gets completed. What would be your "Team of IPL 2025" based on the current form of players before the start of the tournament? Pick 12 players with only four overseas players allowed. #IPL2025 #IPL

My XII: Yashasvi Jaiswal Ruturaj Gaikwad Shreyas Iyer (c) Riyan Parag Heinrich Klaasen* (wk) Hardik Pandya Axar Patel Rashid Khan* Trent Boult* Varun Chakaravarthy Arshdeep Singh Tilak Varma (Impact Player) #IPL2025 #IPL

Both Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane will score 450+ runs in the season.

Six SRH batters had a SR of more than 200 today. Record in IPL innings? #IPL2025 #SRHvRR

Heinrich Klaasen, Quinton de Kock, Ryan Rickelton, Tristan Stubbs, David Miller Five players who have played as a wicket keeper for South Africa are part of IPL 2025. Any other examples from any overseas team before? #IPL2025 #IPL

Bhuvneshwar Kumar made his T20 debut for RCB in the Champions League match in 2009. He played a game for RCB again (his 296th T20 match) today. #IPL2025 #CSKvRCB
