Mandira Bedi is 50 years old.
She only started working as a cricket commentator/presenter in the early 2000s. For someone like me, who entered this industry in her late 20s, Mandira is an inspiration.
It's never too late to give sports a try <3
Just received this via WhatsApp. A portrait of Legend Sunil Chhetri by 16 years old Mayas Khajuria. It took him 47 hours to make this one ✨🤌

From Hero to Zero?
9th day of ISL 2023. No sponsor. The broadcasters and streaming partners have no advertisers. There is absolutely no money flowing in.
The 10th season has served as a reality check for many like me. Wonder how will the league and the clubs survive this way.
The Indian brand partners of
#QatarWorldCup2022
must come forward and ask Jio Cinema and Voot why the platforms weren’t ready in time to cater to such high traffic and demand.
Till the time the broadcasters aren’t ready for massive tournaments, can we just let Hotstar take over?
It’s a difficulty day not just for the loved ones of Abhradeep, but the entire community that he had built over years that loved his work.
I hope he is at peace, and I hope all of you who are reading this are doing okay.
Do say a prayer for him and his family today.

More power to to the brands in the backdrop for supporting the SAFF Championship.
Bisleri, Bangalore Baptist Hospital, Hero, Emirates, Fancode, Nivia, Bashundhara Toiletries, Brighthub, Ramco Supercrete...
Ps. Would be great if somebody could help name the others.
The silver lining in the Asian Games and Indian Football issue?
The entire Indian football community has come forward to show their support for the team. The community is getting stronger and bigger with each day.
As I often say, I hope some brands see the potential here.
Next time you doubt that fans can’t make a difference, just look towards Mohun Bagan fans.
Their persistence and courage is simply admirable. They rightfully earned back the identity of their beloved club.
Heart is full ❤️
It’s amazing how on a match day we all forget our toxic relationship with Indian football and come together to support our national team.
12:30 am the game starts. Watch and show your love to our blue tigers :)
These three are live since 4 hours (combining both channels) and 1.6K people are still watching them at 00:51 🤯
@PLforIndia
, collaborations you guys need to consider. Call them.
Asia Cup - a total waste of time and resources.
Considering how cricket is being managed in our country very soon we will see sponsors walking away from it. I hope some of them look towards Indian Football :)
Look at our friend
@TheDrogBABA
achieving another milestone.🧿
100K+ followers on Insta.
He is always humble, always willing to help, always inspiring and always leading by example.
I genuinely feel that the Universe supports good souls and Baba is a living proof of it. :)
If he keeps climbing up the success ladder, one day soon enough, the lessons Tuchel learned on his trip to India will turn into a terrific book. I’ll be rooting for it.
Starting an individual channel. Why? Because I don't want anybody else to get in trouble for what I say + I haven't come across many women sports content creators, and me being me, I wanted to start somewhere.
Will start uploading soon.
Show some love :D
We all will die someday, but to be loved so much, well that’s not what everybody is blessed with.
Living example of “Babumoshai, zindagi badi honi chahiye, lambi nahi”
Rest well 💙
We didn't know him personally, but this loss seems personal. As content creators, here is my little tribute to the man who put us on the map.
Thank you Rantman. Rest easy, brother 🕊️
Mumbai City’s social media game is getting stronger with each day.
According to you which ISL clubs are making good use of their social media platforms and who are the ones that can learn a thing or two?
30,000 + people in Imphal turned up for India vs. Myanmar men's team match today.
12K-15K people watched it on Hotstar (the match/series was not marketed by the platform.)
AIFF Sponsors/Partners - Hero, Dafanews, Six5Six, Nivea, FSDL (Only Six5Six posted about the match)
Fulham in the morning, Leicester at night.
PL’s association with Ranveer is one partnership that never fails to surprise me. Would love to know how he has helped the league grow in India in the past 5 and a half years. Yes, it’s been that long.
@darrencaldeira
The reality of mental health awareness in our country. He is representing a majority mindset here, unfortunately.
If only the older generation took their mental health struggles seriously or even acknowledged it, our generation would not have had to suffer.
KBFC have of course received a lot of criticism but I think they also deserve unfollowing, decrease in social media impressions, questions from current sponsors.
Don’t let it be one of those things that we forget about the next day.
Fans have power. Use it.
#WomenInSports
The best thing about top players is that they always reply to haters with killer performances.
You can dislike him all you want, you can abuse him all you want, but the fact remains that he is the great of all.
Mad respect - Sunil Chhetri 🫡✨
Realistically planning and saving for a trip to Anfield next season. Looking to connect with people who have done solo budgeted trips from India to Liverpool (and some other parts of the country).
Once again the fans and the content creators have proved their power.
I am so grateful that both men's and women's teams will get to show their skills at the Asian Games.
The Indian Football community is getting bigger and stronger 💪

A couple of months back, a staff member of the U-17 Indian women's football team was suspended on allegations of misconduct. A member of the then COA referred to it as "sexual misconduct."
Now I am hearing that the accused person is working with an IWL club.
#IndianFootball
Gentle reminder. The AIFF has still not issued any update on the U17 women's national team's support staff who was sacked on the grounds of 'sexual misconduct'.
Please don't stop asking for answers. That's one way we can be a part of the solution.
@IndianFootball
We cannot stop talking about Indian Football and we cannot stop seeking realistic solutions if we want to see India play (and perform well) in the World Cup.
Let’s discuss this more tomorrow.

@Arunfoot
Anybody who still has doubts about the reach of Indian football, tune in to Fancode or DD Sports an hour from now and see how things look.
I also hope some brands wake up, smell the potential and start to explore opportunities.
We are having

I look at this picture and the Indian in me can’t stop singing, “Spider-Man, Spider-Man, tune churaya mere dil ka chain.”
Not even embarrassed of how obsessed I am of this man.
Owning up to Szobo love.
Imagine your brand ambassador who gets a massive amount of money from you + free travel + tickets. Then he promotes a match via his socials and then just 10,000 people end up watching that match -
#LEIEVE
Ranveer Singh and Premier League will make for an interesting case study.
Create some noice for Manisha Kalyan people. Just 6-7 months back, Manisha also became the first Indian to play in the UEFA Chmapions league. Brands, sponsors, Indian football supporters - follow the diva
@ManishaKalyan4
Manisha Kalyan creates history by becoming the first Indian footballer to win a league championship in Europe. Her team Apollon Ladies F.C. have won the Cypriot Women's League (the top division of women's football in Cyprus).
#IndianFootball
As Indian football fans we all must root for Mumbai City.
Neymar coming to Pune and playing against an ISL club can be a big thing for Indian Football.
Keep the momentum going.
Thread - I have a few questions for those who work with the AIFF. It would be great if someone could help me find the answers.

1. What's the latest update on the u-17 coach who was caught in a case of sexual misconduct?
Be it cricket or football, Kohli or Chhetri, it’s so heartbreaking to see fans make terrible and personal comments on our athletes and their family members.
Yes, you have a voice. Yes, you can have an opinion but please find respectable ways to communicate your thoughts.
I swear to God, I will block any account here that abuses any of our players when the game ends.
They are the ones on the field; they have dreamt about winning for years too; they gave it their all.
Be kind. Be supportive. Be human.
Crossed 1K on SeededSports. Very very grateful to my friend
@TheDrogBABA
and his obsessive compulsive disorder.
Thank you to all those who subscribed tonight :)
Read a few tweets where people have said some extremely terrible things for Sunil Chhetri’s wife.
Was she on the field? Did she take that free kick?
Fandom is understandable, anger is understandable. But stooping down to this level is not.
Be better. Do better.

SportsKhabri is the first brand that I helped build from scratch. It has been like a child to me and will continue to be so. Naturally, to be referred to as a former founder feels a little overwhelming.
Why the 10 teams Cricket World Cup seems boring?
- Other sports are slowly picking up
- Not many people can afford to take out 9-10 hours from their day to watch an ODI
- attitude of BCCI towards the functioning of things.
Cricket reached its saturation point long ago.
-Qualified for AFC Cup playoffs
- One of the strongest teams in the IWL this season
- Brought in multiple brand partners including some local sponsors
- Getting the home support
@OdishaFC
are doing so many things right.
Deserve all the success that’s coming their way.

's monthly news letter today.
What a great initiative. New sponsorship updates especially caught my eye. :D
It made me wonder if other Indian clubs are also creating newsletters. If yes, how and where can I find them?
It requires an insane amount of courage to stand up for what you believe in, for the rights of others. It takes guts to fight against the powerful wrongdoers in the world.
Some may call him crazy, but I cannot stop admiring this man.
God save the superman ❤️
Shukran to all the people involved in this film. I really hope that it inspires a lot more people to follow

Also, looks like Maidaan’s title track is going to be 🔥
Two women footballers of Khad FC (Himachal Pradesh) have complained that Deepak Sharma, executive committee member of the AIFF, physically assaulted them in the hotel room during the ongoing IWL 2. Three witnesses have also signed the complaint.
He says random things and gets away with them each time.
A coach is a leader. He is supposed to have a winner mindset, a fighting mentality. If he himself gives petty excuses, how can we expect better from the team?
Owning up to mistakes is the first step to improvement.
Indian football isn’t for everyone.
It’s heartbreaking 💔
When will we see brighter days?
Will we ever see brighter days?
Did we not see this coming?
It’s all so hopeless.
We will be talking about the same thing in June.
Nothing is gonna change.
Goodnight.
OMG. Best moment to make the announcement.
So so so happy for Mohun Bagan fans.
As the commentator said, the hashtag has died away.

I was in therapy for 8 months.
No, life hasn’t completely changed but I can clearly see what triggers my anxiety now, so I manage it much better.
It’s important to talk about mental health, after all, we are all together in this crazy world.

Kartik Aaryan is just a normal guy living the dream. Nervous, simple.
Sony sports network with their in house team have so many options to explore with Kartik as a brand ambassador.
Good activation, hopefully many more to come.
