If twitter was available during MSD debut series, I wonder how many such Rajiv’s would have allowed him to play next series.

Not long ago when Bumrah, Siraj and Akashdeep failed to get a breakthrough Nitish got both openers. If not for Nitish 100 at MCG we would have lost by an innings defeat. Better aap bakwaas band kariye.

If you promote a batter to 3 and he plays the max no. of balls in a tricky pitch, and then the next game he bats at 8. The only explanation is you have no effing idea what you are doing. Team has been pushed into a position where all your decisions are sub optimal.

India need a strong no 3 in test cricket . Also coach and selection committee need to be patient with no 3 slot. You can’t try a new player after every match. It is not odi or t20 to see immediate results.

NKR got out to a very well directed short ball and a brilliant catch. It was an unlucky dismissal but people who just watch scorecard don’t know and come to blabber about him.

So, the rumours about him leaking team meetings information to outsiders seem to have some truth to it ?

BCCI needs a serious introspection on the quality of Ranji matches and pitches being used. If this is the quality of batting and bowling by our main team then we are soon heading for bottom in test cricket. #IndvsSA

Cricinfo once published an article about Umesh, Shami, Ishant, Bumrah as the golden era of Indian fast bowling. I wish I go back to those days once again. We didn’t celebrate enough on their success and our spin twins(Ashwin and Jadeja).

Conrad Shukri was appointed head coach for proteas in 2023 at the age of 56 after 23 years of coaching experience in various domestic teams , U19 teams , ‘A’ teams with success. Took the hard route to get where he is now. Not really known to many with what he has achieved as a

So the joke actually became true. Kuldeep came at no 4 in this innings. #IndvsSA

Irrespective of the outcome of this test, Gambhir should give up coaching test team. Any sane, self introspecting individual would do that. Test coaching is not for him. He should swallow his ego and pride and quietly walk away. And India fans would respect him for that. #INDvSA

I saw KL Rahul dismissal and wondered how did we come to this state in playing spin. No footwork, wrong line and praising Harmer as if he bowled some magical ball.

This is peak humiliation for us Richest board by far, 100x resources and now back to back humiliations at home by New Zealand and South Africa Been watching test cricket for 30ish years. This is our lowest point Hope BCCI feels this too and takes right steps

Life of NKR😢: - IPL 2024 EMERGING PLAYER - A crucial century on MCG - 2nd highest scorer of BGT 24-25 - Got injured! - Lost his touch - Playing musical chairs with his batting position - Not being utilized with the ball - Got blamed for everything 🙏

If cricket wants to take its place as a genuinely global sport, it must stop this farcical business of ensuring India and Pakistan are always in the same group. All are aware that it is a money spinner for the broadcasters, and that all the member countries approve & benefit, but

Hard pill for people to swallow: If India win the T20 World Cup, they will win it "inspite of" GG, not "because of" GG. The tactics there too are shocking and there for everyone to see.

Biggest disappointment for me is not KL Rahul or Pant but it is Dhruv Jurel. What happened to all promise he showed during England series in India? #IndianCricket

Just saw this dismissal and I have lost words for a second. Why would you reverse sweep that ball when there is a slip in place. This is not the first time he failed in reverse sweeping. Even in IPL and BGT he failed couple of times in playing that shot.

Excellent thread and emotions conveyed on the behalf of every ICT fan.
