That was always the plan to stick to Ruturaj Gaikwad as the captain for CSK. Good on their part, that they announced it right at start. This wasn’t for the team but for their fans.

It’s been a day totally dominated by the state of Bihar. First, the election results in the state and by evening, Bihar’s son Vaibhav Suryavanshi lights up the skies in Doha with a 32-ball century in Asia Cup Rising Stars, and he isn’t done yet.

Time and again Bumrah sends out reminders that he’s the best. 86 Test wickets at home, at an average of 16.5 and an exceptional strike-rate of just 35. He is a Generational talent.

2 good tactical calls by captain Shubman Gill on the field - pushing Bumrah for a sixth over and then bowl him another. Then moving the short-leg fielder to backward short-leg position for Bavuma. All of them resulting in wickets for India.

Dhruv Jurel’s third ton in his last 7 innings (all red ball) has bailed India A out of a very tricky situation against South Africa A. Someday, somehow he should be in the Test XI along with Rishabh Pant. He has been ticking all the right boxes for himself.

Seems to be the end of Mohd Shami, one of the finest the Indian cricket has ever seen. Only Bumrah (42.7) has a better strike rate than Shami (50.2) amongst the Indian bowlers, who have played more than 20 Test matches. Remember, Shami also played a fair bit of his cricket at

Harmanpreet Kaur does a Gavaskar in the World Cup final. Harman grabbed the match ball, showed it to her teammates and quietly slipped it into her pocket. That’s exactly what Sunil Gavaskar did after India won the 1983 World Cup. That ball is still with Mr. Gavaskar as one of

Shafali Verma may have already made it a one-sided contest. All that has happened with her - not part of the original squad before being drafted in as an injury replacement for the last couple of matches - it seems she was destined for this day. #ICCWomensWorldCup

This victory has to be the highest point in the Indian women’s cricket history. Incredible chase by the Indian team to chase down 338. Take a bow Jemimah Rodrigues, the best we’ve seen from an Indian female batter, ever. #ICCWomensWorldCup
