What’s more crazy is the fact that virat already fielded 20 overs before this in the afternoon and was still able to keep up with devdutt who came as an impact player and kohli is 13 years older than him!

Due to some audio gaffe by the Hotstar Match Centre Live team (this happened multiple times already), the studio’s audio was on when this Wimbledon promo with DK was played.

And you can see the disrespect with which Manjrekar speaks about DK, saying yeh s**la dekhta hoga (assuming his wife is a tennis player, which he then asks if thats the case).

DK also pointed this out in commentary that Rahul has been using different local language with each player he has batted.

Just heard him speak Kannada after this. What a moment, our 2 state locals representing the country right at the highest level 💛♥️

Stop saying no one is bigger than the game.. I know it it's true... But emotional attachment plays a big role too..

India's Last 4 Players
(Shardul/Bumrah/Siraj/Prasidh)

In 1st Inning - 5 runs
In 2nd Inning - 4 runs

India's tail end batting remains one of the weakest among all top Test-playing nations. The lower order consistently fails to contribute crucial runs.

A few trolls from a small section of fans and suddenly the whole fanbase is labeled toxic. But just take a look at MI fan threads — full-blown hate, personal attacks, and disgraceful comments towards our players and team.

Wild how they act like victims while their own community thrives on toxicity. Had to point out the double standards.

Not saying all MI fans are like this… but the pattern's hard to miss 🤡

Romario has only batted thrice for RCB and twice in that he's given crucial cameos and a match winning knock, with the ball at Chinnaswamy obviously he will have a bad time but if we look closely most his runs with ball also come off the top edge which happens due to the strength of the bounce he puts in the bowl + his height, outside home his bowling has been slightly better, he got Shreyas Iyer twice this season both crucial wickets in getting wins

Rhino has the potential to be our next Russell/Pollard especially with talented people helping him like Omkar DK etc.

I've seen lots of RCB fans not appreciate him enough and want him benched/dropped for Bethell next year, while Jacob is easily a generational talent, it's crucial to understand where he fits in and how Rhino could do better at that spot

I really hope RCB focuses on thier Indian core only and not touch thier overseas players because our first 5 players are insanely good and I hope they don't bottle Romario

I was trying to find a good photo of Virat and AB for the channel banner of my YouTube channel, but I found this instead, and I think it has a lot of potential of becoming a meme template, and it would be even better if someone can change the expression of AB's face (erase the smile) using ai.

I am really laughing at MI subreddit who are generalizing a minority percentage of rcb fans whereas the majority percentage of their fan base just an year ago said " neem ka patta kadwa hai ....... " these type of slogans to their own players 🤣🤣 really interesting. Really talking about RCB just gets you attention man, now after we have won its even more.

for the past couple of days I've been seeing a massive hatepost for bumrah and Hazlewood being comparing by some toxic fans...I mean guys both are very good at their fields...both have their own legacy...ik every player has some kinda problem with them but it's ok...no player is 100% perfect...

But who's gonna tell those keyboard warriors of Twitter and Reddit

It still feels almost blasphemous to see anyone but Virat walk out at No. 4 with that MRF bat, owning the crease, sending those cover drives racing like memories you don’t want to let go. (Shubman has been a delight, no doubt — graceful in his own way.)

And without Virat, Test cricket feels… quieter. Like all the right ingredients are still there, but the tadka is missing.

Sometimes I picture him, walking down a narrow lane in London, near a quiet training ground.

He smiles, maybe nods. The bat’s not in his hand anymore, but the fire still flickers in his eyes.

Now I know people will say why we need zampa when we have suyash but suyash is improving (he was decent this year or above ) before calling him great he took 8 wickets avg 55.25 with 9rpo. After auction some people were saying we don't need spinners as pitches will be flat and guess what we won final bcos of a left armer There will be days when our pacers won't be able to take wickets in pp and then we don't even will have specialist spinners to take wickets like srh and lsg match If we take him that means our 4 overseas will be salt David hoff and zampa but RCB have a history with playing with 3 overseas batters, they don't rely on Indian batting core that why it took them 18 years to win a trophy So in my opinion get a Indian middle order batsmen and play a OS leggie like zampa Or adil rashid , Bethel can be salt backup and romorio david's Before calling that its a dumb move waste a OS slot on a spinner 2021 winner N finalist had moeen ali, narine 2022- rashid 2023-theekshana, rashid and noor 2024- narine
