Well not any longer. Now it is 408 runs in all tests! #SackGambhir
Biggest margin for a home test loss for India is 342 runs... 🧐

Anyway hope Gambhir is sacked. And probably some of the other senior players as well. Surely there must be young players hungry enough to do well in longer format too...

Kind of sad day for Indian Test cricket when opposition coaches get to use words like "grovel". More so since we really are doing so right now... 😒 https://t.co/ZU9EHGpzgd

The word was infamously uttered by England captain Tony Greig in 1976, and it's made a reappearance nearly 50 years later

Maybe send the Ranji trophy winners to represent us in Tests instead of these bums... 😒

Trying to doctor pitches since it worked out so well for us in recent times... 🙄
Gautam Gambhir was clear that this was the pitch he wanted as a coach. You can agree or disagree with his decision, but he did not try to hide behind anyone or any other factor like Gill's injury about the Indian defeat. It was India's call to play on such a pitch, and they were

Not much changed for Kohli or Rohit either since they were last toured Australia(as expected). Need to give guys like Jaiswal & possibly Tilak Verma a run before next WC.

Not surprised at recent independent director allegations. Was just lucky in #KRBL back in 2014-2017 run. Probably could have switched to LT Foods then. Motilal Oswal had a good initiating coverage report. But post Augusta scam I got scared of how little I knew about the sector...
Anyway it was a rewarding investment despite a not so optimal exit of my last lot today. Maybe was just lucky buying early & holding on so far... 😊

Loved how Alcaraz changed pace throughout the match. Perfect tactics against Sinner who was just blasting everyone off the court this season. The improved serve was a big factor as well. And I'm always amazed how well Alcaraz handles Sinner's serve... better than even Djokovic!🎾
Jannik Sinner in his U.S. Open press conference: “I'm a very, very solid, you know, baseliner. I'm a very strong hitter. I'm a good player, you know…” 😭😭😭

Maybe having the same personalities will work! Hope Marat(one of my favorite players) doesn't break too many racquets sitting by the sidelines as a coach... ☺️
Omg he's just a kiddo goofing around and laughing at his mistake but Marat is super strict as he always says... NOT happy with the error at all 😭

Nice. Also sort of why demand for spirits is somewhat price inelastic... 😂 #AntiFragile

Last 2 yrs very similar to how things were before Djokovic became the spoiler in the two men dominance of Federer & Nadal between 2004-2008.
Between 2024 and 2025 only once a tournament featuring both Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner has been won by someone else

Why is #BelriseIndustries trading metals, lithium ion batteries and electronics in the middle east? Has a reasonably well placed auto ancillary business with 20%+ ROCE. Yet 18% of total capital employed is allocated to a 12% ROCE unrelated business...🧐
