A “Handshake" snub, and an SM post dedicating the win to Bharat’s Armed Forces. BCCI and its backers think that’s enough to wash away the original sin. In this RAW DISPATCH FROM THE DESK, i explain why this isn't the case and what the BCCI can still do to... redeem itself.show more

*"BCCI exposed! 😂👀 It's time to boycott hypocrisy! 🙄👊 When the truth is spoken, there's no room for double standards. 💯👍

One question is why did this handshake happened few days back?

Why Bcci and not GOI, becoz u r a pet of the Govt.

Match happened because of Govt Of India! Do NO FORGET IT! They allowed the match and kept India in same group as Pakistan. Not just in asia cup but also in ICC T20 WC next year. Who is ICC Chairman?

@AugadhBhudeva BCCI must be pulled up and shamed. They are only for money and not for the nation

BCCI should send a formal request to ICC to ban Pakistan and Bangladesh from international cricket. One is Terroristan and the other is next in line.

Why are you reluctant to state directly that the GOI is more responsible than the BCCI as they have not stopped greedy BCCI from going ahead. GOI has failed the nation, period. We can keep discussing till the cows come home, but sadly nothing will change. Only lame excuses....

Well said Rahul jee The question is if the horse is thirsty! This #BCCI 's hogwash makes me think that it is a different kind of an animal: the one that feeds off the carcass of Armed Forces' Martyrs & civilians who lost their lives at #pahalgamterrroristattack #INDvsPAK

You idiot . Why are you absolving the govt which could easily have instructed BCCI not to participate . Heavens would not have fallen . You Godi media are all the same . Indulging in convoluted logic

Stop 🛑 mentioning BCCI. They would not have the spine to proceed with the match without an instruction from Modi/Shah. Why are you diverting the issue and putting it on BCCI. Have some balls Rahul Shivshankar. And it is good to see how you really look without make up

There are other ways besides shaking hands. Just fold both hands and say Namaste 🙏. By doing this, two things are achieved – first, we keep our culture alive, and second, without saying much, we send the message that enough is enough, we are fed up with you. It is win win for India.

All lectures against @BCCI which is fine but no lectures to the govt and specifically to @narendramodi and @AmitShah who could hv prevented this match from going ahead if the wanted to.

Are Dalal bcci se upar bhi to badh....ki bs yhi toolkit mili hai tum sb ko bcci ko scapegoat banake govt. ko bachao

A snub & a post won’t erase betrayal — BCCI needs action, not symbolism.

There is no difference between @BCCI and those terrorists who killed innocents in Phelgam...hypocrisy at this level is not acceptable. ..poor politics

Representing 4th pillar of democracy...waiting to ask some questions to government....

Correct 💯

Sabbash

Sir it’s going to be sharm-al- Shaikh like disaster for PM Modi Ji. No cover up drama can save PM nationalism push

Just say it Rahul...BJP government goofed up big time...

@cosmicblinker Excellent Rahu. For BCCI money is important nothing else. Even government also should be blamed for this.

Tu sab mei bada chutiya hai

Why are you so ugly

This perspective misses the bigger picture. The Indian cricket team’s stance was a clear, principled expression of solidarity with the victims of Pahalgam. Respecting national sentiment and the Armed Forces is not “sinful”—it is patriotic. 🙌 BCCI’s role isn’t about placating everyone but ensuring players can express themselves responsibly while maintaining the spirit of the game. Dedicating the win to the Armed Forces is a strong, unambiguous message that India’s athletes stand for national pride. In fact, this act strengthens India’s global sporting image, showing that ethical and patriotic considerations matter on and off the field. 🇮🇳🏏

Dear @AmitShah ji please stop this bcci nonsense, we don't want to play with terrorists nations like Pakistan and Bangladesh... Cc @narendramodi ji.

Get Pak banned from international cricket on terrorism issue.

Mr. RS Shankar, Do You want India to boycott all international tournaments as Pakistan will always be there?. Suppose, India & Pakistan have reached the Final or Semi-final of a multi-national tournament. Will India boycott that match? Resounding NO, Mr. Journalist.

You should give us the opportunity to peek into your desk for a feel of it😉

You enjoy viewers no questions for Jay Shah. Daro mat . Have guts viewers. Hard facts . 💯

सूर्या ने जो बोला वो एक ज़ोरदार तमाचा है BCCI के अधिकारीयों और उन नेताओं के मुँह पर भी जो वकालत कर रहे थे की पाकिस्तान के साथ टूर्नामेंट में खेलने को लेकर। पहले भी भारत ने और पाकिस्तान ने भी एशिया कप का बायकाट किया हुआ है तो इस बार भी कर सकते थे
