Bruno. 💔 Big brown melting eyes. 4831 days of them staring at the world, making everyone who stared back long enough fall in love with him. On October 31, those eyes were closed forever. The goodest boy who ever lived. The most pure-hearted creature I’ve ever met in life.

His reign as captain wasn’t so long that the length itself leaves a legacy. Nor was it short enough to be a footnote. By @saurabh_42 & @ajarrodkimber

Rohit, the batter, needed Rohit, the captain, to be unleashed.

Just heard the sad news of the passing of the legendary physicist Prof. Chen-Ning Yang, from challenging parity conservation in weak interactions to formulating Yang–Mills theory, which underpins the Standard model of particle physics, his contributions remain unparalleled.

The followers who believe in and uphold this version of Islam, and are happy to embrace the Talibanis, are as dangerous as the Hindutva brigade.

Conservative career projection would be at least second, behind Rishabh Pant. Normal projection would put Jaiswal on top of the pile. But interestingly, Pant is probably already in an all-time India Test XI, while Jaiswal will have to do some special things to displace Sehwag.
Where does Jaiswal stand among India's best all-time left-handed batters in Test cricket? No doubts that he'll end up on top of this list eventually, but where's he now?

What have we come to? Bending backwards even before the Taliban by not allowing women journalists entry into the press conference on Indian soil. Truly Vishwaguru!

If Yashasvi Jaiswal bats long enough, nothing can stop the runs coming. It's true when he's scoring a Test century right now. It's true about his wait for spots in the ODI and T20I sides too. #INDvWI

The most ancient, consistent marker of brahmanical supremacy is the toxic dual-idea that verbal attacks on upper-caste groups or concepts/gods deserve physical punishment, but physical attacks BY upper-caste groups on others are dharmic duty & dont even deserve verbal reprimand.

@tamilravi I said this clearly. Our entire SAS business is based on the trust that we DO NOT access customer data and we do not use it for selling stuff to them. End to end encryption is a technical feature and that is coming. Trust is far far more precious and we are earning that trust

Nobody does history in cricket like @ajarrodkimber. This is not just the story of how women built the first cricket World Cup, it's an immersive experience in that era. https://t.co/UVfjy3oYlF
