Hardik pandya might be the worst Indian cricket player , if not he will go down as the worst human + Player by the end of his retirement

Kapil Dev’s daughter chose filmmaking. Sachin Tendulkar’s daughter chose science, nutrition and entrepreneurship instead of cricket. Two cricket legends, two children who chose their own paths. Hey @grok , what are the chances of growing up in a cricketing household and having absolutely no interest in becoming a professional cricketer?

Blud played a brilliant unbeaten knock under immense pressure and helped South Africa chase down a massive 372-run target. 🥶 Can you guess the player without Googling? 👀

"Incredible run chase!" Nasser Hussain reflects on Pakistan's EPIC run chase led by Shadab Khan “Again as with Sri Lanka you’ve got to get Pakistan credit and Shadab Khan and Haris Rauf. That partnership you had to be really switched on and smart how you played it and the moment they changed intent. The moment Shadab said right we’ve gone one way, it’s gone nowhere, we’re going to play our shots. There’s a lesson to be learned. Because they should have learned it from the last game when England were put under pressure, they crumbled, when England put under pressure here at the end, they crumbled. Brilliant change of intent from Shadab Khan that game had gone for them, took one individual backed up by Haris Rauf to bring it back. Incredible run chase.”

I am never deleting this app 😂

In India’s first-ever overseas Test win (vs New Zealand, Dunedin, February 1968), all 11 Indian batsmen scored double figures — between 12 and 80 — with no ducks, no single-digit scores, and no centuries. They totalled 359. The scores were: • Syed Abid Ali: 21 • Farokh Engineer: 63 • Ajit Wadekar: 80 • Rusi Surti: 28 • Erapalli Prasanna: 23 • Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi: 24 • Motganhalli Jaisimha: 17 • Chandu Borde: 21 • Bapu Nadkarni: 12 • Ramakant Desai: 32* • Bishan Bedi: 22 (plus 16 extras). This was only the second time all 11 Indians had reached double figures in a Test innings (the first was vs Pakistan in Kolkata in 1952). It helped India take a small first-innings lead before Prasanna’s 6/94 set up the chase of 200, which they won by 5 wickets for their maiden away Test (and series) victory.

Remember that chaotic IPL 2018 story? A WK-batsman from Jharkhand who just got picked for the ODI squad two days ago was once caught red-handed at Mumbai’s Oberoi Hotel dating someone else’s girlfriend! A nasty brawl broke out, and the fallout dropped him straight out of the team.

I don’t agree that Vaibhav Suryavanshi is losing confidence because he isn’t getting enough chances. • Players don’t become great by getting endless opportunities. They become great by performing when the opportunity comes. • If you keep giving chances to every player, sooner or later, someone will perform. But that doesn’t mean every performance deserves massive hype. • Talent is everywhere in India. The real challenge is performing under pressure and proving that you belong at the highest level. • Real talent doesn’t need perfect conditions every time. It needs to show that it can handle difficult situations too. • Playing with 12 players in IPL conditions, on flat pitches and with small boundaries, is one thing. Performing consistently in international cricket, especially outside India, is a completely different challenge. • If a player loses confidence just because he has to sit out for a few matches, then questions need to be asked about his mental strength. • India already has so many deserving players waiting for their chances. Why should anyone get special treatment just because of their age or hype? A player becomes great by making the most of his opportunities, not by expecting opportunities to keep coming. If Vaibhav is truly special, let his performances speak for him. Hype alone cannot guarantee a place in Team India.

People talk about modern cricketer-actress power couples, but nothing matches the 1990s chaos of India’s most explosive Bollywood-cricket scandal that ended in exile and mafia connections. In the mid-90s, stylish Indian cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin was at the absolute peak of his fame as the captain of the national team. But his personal life blew up when he fell head over heels in love with Bollywood bombshell Sangeeta Bijleri. The two began a heavily publicized affair while Azharuddin was still married, triggering massive front-page tabloid drama across the country. He eventually divorced his first wife to marry Sangeeta, shocking conservative Indian society at the time. But the real cinematic twist came in 2000, when the CBI dropped a massive bombshell linking Azharuddin directly to the match-fixing scandal that shook world cricket. Investigators found evidence that he took massive payouts from international bookies—some of whom had deep, direct ties to notorious underworld don Dawood Ibrahim. The BCCI slapped him with a lifetime ban, his cricket career ended in total disgrace, and the glamorous Bollywood-cricket crossover crumbled overnight under the weight of crime and corruption.

Bhuvi’s current struggles in the international setup are becoming hard to ignore. Conceding 99 runs in just 8 overs across two games—alongside a costly no-ball in each match—highlights a concerning dip in the rhythm and control we saw during the IPL. While experience is invaluable, execution is everything at this level. When the momentum shifts, squad depth is meant to be tested. With exciting bowling options like Mayank and Prince Yadav waiting in the wings and hungry for an opportunity, is it time for the team management to make the tough call and ring in the changes for the next crucial T20I?

Brendon McCullum reflects on his time in charge of the England Test team "In a funny old way, I think it's actually things worked out really well. I think the last four years that I had in the test job was something I'm immensely proud of. It's one of the highlights of the time that I've had in cricket to be able to be in the privileged position of of coaching the test side and. We achieved some good things and we obviously left a little bit on the table as well. But, you know, I have zero regrets about the time and certainly content with where it all set."

Shreyas Iyer gets endless backing despite his inconsistent international performances, while Rajat Patidar keeps piling up runs and warming the bench. 🤡 Rajat is smashing bowlers in the IPL with an explosive strike rate. He is scoring big hundreds in domestic cricket and proving his class. He has shown he can handle pressure and deliver when it matters. Meanwhile, Iyer keeps getting opportunities at the international level without consistently justifying the faith shown in him. One big hundred cannot erase a pattern of inconsistent performances. Rajat hasn’t even been given a proper T20I opportunity, while Iyer continues to enjoy the security of his place. Is Team India selecting players based on current performance or simply protecting established names? 🤔 Rajat Patidar has done the hard work. Now give him the opportunity he deserves instead of making him wait for someone else’s failures to count.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi without flat Highway pitches and 60m IPL boundaries: PR hyped him up like he’s the next big prodigy, but he’s literally just a blind slog-and-pray merchant 😭 Bro sees leather, swings blindly, and prays it touches the bat. Put him on a red-soil pitch with swinging conditions and he’s looking like a tailender!"

Mumbai Indians really looked at a guy still playing competitive cricket in other leagues and said, "Yeah, let's make him the Head Coach." What a downgrade in franchise planning. Bro is going to sub himself in when the middle order collapses. Absolute clownery.

🚨 THE DARK TRUE STORY OF GIRLSDOPORN: A MULTI-MILLION-DOLLAR WEB OF LIES Behind fake modeling opportunities, promises of international careers, and a seemingly professional business was an exploitation scheme that destroyed lives and triggered an international manhunt. The story of GirlsDoPorn is one of the most disturbing cases involving deception and exploitation on the internet. • THE TRAP: A DREAM OPPORTUNITY Young women, many around 18–20 years old, were targeted through online advertisements offering modeling opportunities. Fake websites, email addresses, and recruitment messages helped make the offers appear legitimate. For aspiring models, it looked like a chance to earn thousands of dollars and begin a new career. • THE LIES BEHIND THE CAMERA According to investigators, recruiters led women to believe they were applying for conventional modeling work. After making contact, they were told the actual job involved filming sexually explicit videos. Some women were reportedly promised between $3,000 and $5,000. They were also assured that the videos would not be published online and that their identities would remain private. But those assurances became central to the allegations against the operation. • MILLIONS MADE FROM DECEPTION The videos were published on commercial websites, including GirlsDoPorn and GirlsDoToys, generating millions of dollars in revenue. The FBI stated that women had been recruited through misleading advertisements and that the promises made to them about the videos were broken. For the victims, the consequences extended far beyond the filming itself. The prospect of intimate material circulating online created lasting fears about privacy, family, relationships, and future careers. • THE INTERNATIONAL MANHUNT Michael James Pratt, a New Zealand national associated with the operation, became a fugitive wanted on sex-trafficking and child-pornography charges. In October 2021, the FBI announced a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to his arrest. The search eventually ended in Spain, where authorities arrested Pratt in December 2022. His arrest marked a major development in a case that had drawn international attention. THE BIGGER PICTURE This case exposed how easily a criminal operation could disguise itself as a legitimate business, use the internet to recruit victims, and turn deception into a highly profitable enterprise. A professional-looking website does not guarantee a legitimate opportunity. And a promise of privacy means nothing when the people making it have no intention of keeping it. Behind the millions of dollars was a far more devastating reality: real people whose trust had been exploited.

Four balls remained. One run was needed to reach the World Cup final. One batter had already smashed two consecutive boundaries and brought his team level with Australia. The entire tournament had been a dream for him. He was eventually named Player of the Tournament. But then came a moment that would haunt his country for years. A risky single, a moment of confusion, and a run-out at the non-striker’s end. The match ended in a tie, but Australia advanced to the final because of their superior Super Six record. One of the greatest individual World Cup campaigns ended in one of the most painful ways imaginable. Can you guess the batter? 🤔

A police constable in Karnataka broke into homes at night, tied women up, and raped them while they were unconscious—then killed many to silence them. He confessed to 18 murders. A former police constable targeted women alone in their homes across Karnataka, Maharashtra and Gujarat between 1996 and 2002. The reason might surprise you. Umesh Reddy (also known as Rajulu, Ramesh, Venkatesh) was a police constable who used his uniform and knowledge of local areas to gain access. He would break into houses at night, threaten women with a knife, force them to undress, tie them up, and rape them—often while they were semi-conscious or after choking them. After the assault, he frequently killed the victims and stole their jewellery so the crime would look like a robbery. Police later said he raped at least 20 women and killed 18. His method was calculated: • He chose women who were alone or vulnerable. • He used his police background to move without raising suspicion. • He raped them after tying or incapacitating them, then murdered many to eliminate witnesses. One of the cases that helped catch him involved a young girl who managed to hit him with a stone and escape. Another victim identified him later at a police parade. He was arrested, escaped once, and was recaptured. He was convicted in nine murder cases (and multiple rape cases). A death sentence was later commuted. The case exposed how someone inside the system used his position to commit repeated sexual violence and murder.

A homeless man walked the streets of 1960s Mumbai at night with a bent iron rod and smashed the skulls of sleeping pavement dwellers. He confessed to 41 murders. A quiet, mentally disturbed vagrant moved through the slums and railway lines of Bombay between 1965 and 1968, attacking people while they slept. The reason might surprise you. Pavement dwellers and those living in temporary huts on the outskirts of the city began turning up dead with their skulls caved in by a hard blunt object. The attacks happened only at night. There was no robbery in most cases—just pure, random violence. The first wave (1965–66) left around 19 people attacked. A second wave in 1968 terrified the northern suburbs. Residents stopped sleeping outside. Police later identified the killer as Raman Raghav (also known as Sindhi Talwai), a man with a long criminal record who lived as a vagrant. His method was simple and brutal: • He hid an iron crowbar or rod in bushes. • He targeted the poorest people sleeping on pavements or in huts along the railway line. • He struck them repeatedly on the head while they slept, then disappeared. Arrested in August 1968, he calmly confessed to 41 murders and led police to his hiding spots and weapons. Diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, his death sentence was later commuted to life. He died in prison in 1995. Mumbai still remembers him as one of India’s most terrifying serial killers.
