One of the classiest Test openers for India made T20 batting look beautiful when on song. This century was such a delightful watch. Made 453 runs from 14 matches in 2016 for Punjab. Played only 6 matches after that in the IPL. What a gun opener for CSK though in his prime.

Seriously, what's the need for this? That too after a match where our top order was humbled and it took a special effort from two batters to put up a half decent score. It's not about policing celeb thoughts but expecting grace from some of them, especially in hate filled times.

A lot of Virat's recent success might have to do with the presence of Surya. In all honesty, Virat hasn't changed his game much from how he always played T20. The fact that Surya takes off at the other end immediately allows him to settle down. Once in, he changes gears well.

That fielding effort on the first ball of the final over showed the commitment and desire of the Zimbabwean players. Brilliant effort there to turn a certain boundary to 3 runs. And now they have won it by 1 run. The little things. What a bowling performance this from Zimbabwe.

At this rate, maybe Bumrah and Co. will sit on dharna if the mgmt goes on persisting with Pujara-Rahane. Just imagine how frustrating it'd be to turn in one brilliant performance after the other and still ending up on the losing side because the team is persisting with these two.

Remember this happened just 11 months ago? It looked so awful. Many whispered that this could be career ending, and if not career-ending, can easily keep him out for a long long time which at the age of 32 is far from ideal. Came back into the World Cup squad and ended up with a…

Almost two years later, Ben Stokes has once again given a superb tribute to his father's memory, with another final winning performance for England. The tough guy Ged Stokes, wherever he is, must be mighty proud of his son. And England will be forever thankful to him. :)

On a scale of 1 to 10, how uncomfortable do you think Rahul Dravid must have been while doing this? Also, does anyone know if he continues to be a Gillette brand ambassador?

A 1994 photo of Warne clicked by Shaun Botterill playing the game with cricket loving kids in a park in Pakistan with bricks as wickets. Can see Steve Waugh in the background too. Things that don't happen anymore, I reckon.

You all remember @DineshKarthik 's knock from the Nidahas Final but do you remember his crucial 64 and the 116-run partnership he stitched with Vijay Shekhawat that helped India chase down Australia's 387 to lift the 2009 Airtel Champions Trophy? If not, are you a real ICT fan?

Fun fact - Rahul Dravid reached 10,000 ODI runs a year before he reached 10,000 Test runs. He reached the former in February 2007 and the latter in March 2008.

No @DineshKarthik , both of your boundaries in your first ever inning came against Gillespie and not Kasprowicz, as you reminisced in the comm box. Very interestingly, the man in the commentary box then was @sanjaymanjrekar

In today's edition of local crowds being unkind to their own captain, here is England's Allan Lamb asking the Kolkata crowds to stop heckling their captain, Sunil Gavaskar. Context - In January 1985, when Kapil Dev was dropped after the Delhi Test loss, the team was welcomed…

Yuzi Chahal not the first leggie to take a hat-trick against KKR to snatch a victory out of the jaws of defeat for Rajasthan. Tambe, in fact, did it in two balls in 2013.

How can he not be even in the standbys for the T20 World Cup? But so happy to finally see him getting to do this in Indian colors. There was never any doubt about his talent. Not since people saw him as a teenager for @rajasthanroyals a decade ago. #SanjuSamson #IndvSA

Adelaide 2014 still hurts. At one point, 364 looked so achievable. Then Lyon struck and it all fell apart. Ps - Just realized that Rohit Sharma and Murali Vijay bowled 31 overs for India in this match. Rohit even got Mitch Marsh and Vijay took the catch.

C Dravid B Tendulkar I'm not sure how often did that happen in cricket but this is one hell of a catch by Dravid at slips off Sachin's bowling.

Was watching the highlights of this match yesterday which I consider to be the best from the inaugural IPL and it hit me quite late that both the stars of this match (Symonds who scored 117* and Warnie who won RR the match when 10 were reqd from 3) are no longer with us.💔

LONG THREAD What do you see? A man celebrating, right? That man, for those who don’t know, is New Zealand’s Craig McMillan. So, what’s McMillan celebrating? A century. That’s nice, right? A century that came off 67 balls. Gets better? Let me make it even better. A century off

I think Rinku Singh is quickly becoming the reason many turn the match on their TV/streaming platform when India plays these days. Just so much excitement around his immense talent and confidence to take on any bowler. Nothing against the rest of the talented youngsters but there…

You've seen him do this in yellow. You've seen him do this in whites. But here's @mvj888 creaming three exquisite boundaries through the cover region in the blue jersey for India. Classy. Very classy.

Seriously want to understand at what point does someone's fandom make them so toxic that they're so vile towards people who have made such massive contributions to the Cricket of the country that these people seem to call themselves a fan of. Hail Rohit but not by doing this man!

We've all seen the 'Ian Bell incident'. This is what happened after the break. The Indian team was booed by the crowds and applauded by the English dressing room simultaneously. And out came Bell which made the crowds as well as the comms realize what had transpired. #ICCAwards
