#CWC25 Few days before World Cup, Pradeep Rawal showed photos on his phone of the banners he'd been preparing to carry to venues. One of those was: ‘100* – Pratika Rawal: Proud Moment of Father.’ In Navi Mumbai, the banner was unfurled 💯 ✍️ My story: https://t.co/5Bw8P4YDGp

Stunning claim by @Arappor: Brigade group allowed to build multi-storey apartments INSIDE Pallikaranai marshland declared as Ramsar site. Alleges collusion by all arms of TN environment department and CMDA in allowing this violation @supriyasahuias #ChennaiFloods

Greater Chennai Corporation and state highway’s neglect in relaying roads during 10-dry months has now made commute horrible for motorists in city’s western areas. Stretches like Porur, Valsaravakkam, Maduravoyal, Ramapuram, Alapakkam all have craters in both arterial roads like

Next day's headline: The world is not enough
Idea for next Women's ODI World Cup: 9 teams play group stage. Team of selectors then decides best 15-member squad. World XI vs Australia in the final.

How rains in Colombo helped India stay alive in the ICC #WomensWorldCup2025 By Tushar Bhaduri https://t.co/LNXChfXDzT

India and New Zealand are level on four points after five games, but the latter has had two 'no results' in Colombo'. ICC should have planned better taking lessons from the men's Asia Cup two years...

Bangladesh sent out of form Shanto to hit in Super Over, because Akeal Hosein was bowling. They held back Rishad the big hitters coz he is a right handed batter. Figure that one.
I desperately want to meet the man who invented the data that a left-arm spinner cannot bowl to a left-handed batter! Why??? Why not prove this data wrong … Pakistan held Asif Afridi as Muthusamy and Rabada are lefties… !

Australia were 68-4 chasing 245 and have done it so easily that the game has ended with them pissing about to try and get someone to a hundred. Ridiculous cricket team

That was one of the most stupid thing I have seen on a cricket ground. The daddy of brainless ness from Rizwan. Umpires were kind to him and Pakistan

Wanted to catch up on some Champions League highlights. But @SonyLIV will test your resolve. Three ad breaks in a 10-12 minute package to go with one at the start is ridiculous.

Tanush Kotian over Sai Kishore is surprising even if you factor Manav Suthar. He is head and shoulders above the rest.

Thanking a genocidal war criminal after winning the Nobel *Peace* Prize. We're living in a dystopian movie
I spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today and thanked him for his warm congratulations to the people of Venezuela on our 2025 Nobel Peace Prize. We Venezuelans deeply value peace, and we know that achieving it requires immense courage, strength, and moral

In 2023, men’s Asia Cup was severely hampered by rain in Colombo. For the Women’s World Cup it baffles how they again overlooked it. A premier tournament can’t be on the mercy of weather.
"They’ll say it’s the best World Cup ever, but the reality is no marquee venues, poor ticketing, and late, inadequate scheduling." #WomensWorldCup2025
