🚨When Ajinkya Rahane Still wanted to play test cricket but I got no response from selectors🚨 Michael Atherton🗣️: You’re 37 years old now, but it feels like you haven't given up hope of playing Test cricket for India again. Do you have conversations with the selectors, or do you just keep churning out runs? Ajinkya Rahane🗣️: For me, it’s all about focusing on what I can control. Frankly, I tried to have conversations with the selectors, but I got no response. As a player, I can’t control that. What I can do is keep playing red-ball cricket, enjoying the game, and giving my best. I just love Test cricket ,that passion keeps me going. Nasser Hussain🗣️: When you led that legendary 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy comeback after 36-all-out in Adelaide, what was the dressing room like, and how was Rishabh Pant to manage? Ajinkya Rahane🗣️: Adelaide was completely quiet. Everyone was down. But Ravi Shastri’s energy was amazingly positive ,he told us, 'Don't think about cricket for two days, just chill. From Melbourne, we go again.' As for Rishabh Pant, in Brisbane, whenever we tried sending a message to him, he did the exact opposite! So we decided, 'Better not send any message, just let him play his own way!' And he delivered something truly special. Michael Atherton🗣️: How do you view Shubman Gill’s captaincy so far? Ajinkya Rahane🗣️: I'm always a very frank guy. I think Shubman still has a long way to go ,he is still learning the nuances of Test cricket. T20 is completely different, but in Tests, as a captain, you have to be extremely proactive with fields and session planning, especially against aggressive teams like England.

“Our Word Means Something”? What a Sick Joke. I had to physically restrain myself from hurling something at the TV the moment I heard that smirking, weasel Albanese declare, “Our word means something.” This coming from a pathological liar whose word means absolutely nothing — a man who won’t tell the truth if it slapped him across the face, and who’ll spit out any filthy lie if he thinks it’ll buy him one extra vote. And let’s never forget exactly why we’re in this shameful mess. We signed the IEA agreement and our politicians gave Australia’s solemn word to keep a minimum 90 days of petrol and diesel reserves. Shamefully, Australia is the only nation on Earth that has arrogantly broken its word and completely ignored this obligation. And now Albanese is up in Singapore begging that Australia be forgiven for breaking its word. No one — and I mean no one — is more directly responsible for Australia breaking its word than Anthony Albanese. For six long years as Infrastructure and Transport Minister under the Rudd/Gillard/Rudd circus, and nearly four years as Prime Minister, he has contemptuously thumbed his nose at the promise Australia made to the world. No wonder we was smirking as he lied through his teeth yet again. Every single time this man opens his mouth, a torrent of lies, spin, and pure dishonesty comes gushing out like raw sewage. Listening to him makes you want to vomit.

This may get a little personal, with blurry photos for evidence. But Harmanpreet's 200th T20I feels like the right occasion for this story. Bear with me - it'll all make sense. My first meeting with Harmanpreet Kaur lasted only a few minutes, to fix an interview. Looking back, though, it's an interaction that changed the questions I asked and the stories I chose to tell. It was just before the 2016 T20 World Cup. I was in Ranchi covering my first international assignment in women's cricket. Like any young reporter, I had done my homework beforehand. Then I spent the week putting faces to the names, and learning their stories. And when I finally met Harmanpreet, I called her by the wrong name. It was an honest mistake. I was mortified nonetheless. Harman, however, barely reacted. She brushed past it just as effortlessly as I had blurted it out, and carried on with the conversation. It was an embarrassing mistake, one that the overthinker in me couldn't move past. But Harman's non-reaction honestly hit me with the hardest reality of women's cricket. Misidentification wasn't unusual back then. So common, in fact, that the players had simply learned to live with it. There was no outrage in Harman's response, no attempt to make me feel worse than I already did. Typically unfazed, she just simply moved the conversation along. The decade that followed wasn't a straight line. And it tested her in almost every way possible - as a batter, as a captain, as one of the faces of a rapidly growing sport in the country. It was a remarkable change, and not just in Harman's career, but in women's cricket itself. She became one of the defining figures of Indian cricket. With more visibility, the expectations changed. The scrutiny increased. But Harman largely remained Harman. She inspired more than one generation and ultimately led India to its first World Cup title. What was once easy to overlook had become impossible to ignore. Perhaps that is why one moment from the 2025 World Cup celebrations remains so vivid in my memory. Amid the chaos and emotion of a historic night, Harman walked over, handed me the trophy and insisted for a photograph. It was a small gesture, but one that meant a great deal coming from someone whose journey I had been lucky enough to chronicle for nearly a decade. For a few seconds, I found myself holding the ultimate prize of everything Indian women's cricket had worked towards. My mind immediately went back to Ranchi. To that awkward first meeting. And to the journey that followed. A journey that ensured nobody would ever mistake Harmanpreet Kaur for anybody else again. Today, as Harman becomes the first cricketer - male or female - to play 200 T20Is, it feels like a milestone for a generation that helped transform women's cricket in India. Congratulations, Harman. It's been fascinating to watch this journey unfold, and to document parts of it along the way.

Finally watched #SafedSagar. Great show. Quality and research top notch. All actors doing justice to the role they were assigned. This is one of the best onscreen portrayal of forces’ ops and life. However, one scene really stayed with me. The moment when the fly boys are taking off from their base and army units are ready for attack huddled behind rocks, India is playing Pakistan in a cricket match. The director did a brilliant job of superimposing the commentary over the scenes. Not sure what his intention was but it always touches a raw nerve. When we were fighting war and losing hundreds of soldiers, even then the cricketing world thought it’s alright to play a match. A cricket match, although reminiscent of age old rivalry and enmity, is still NOT a war. Soldiers sacrifice their lives and limbs in a war, and come back home in coffins and wheelchairs. There’s either victory or death when you’re tasked to scale a height and capture it. In cricket, you can lose a match and still come back to your five star hotel room, wine and dine, and just plan for next match. Not taking away the dedication that cricketers have, because the decision lies with the sporting authorities and governments. Same thing happened after other terror attacks also. Somehow we’ve separated country from cricket when it comes to taking hard decisions. Maybe it’s all about money, maybe it’s something else. Whatever the reason is, somehow the protest of few gets drowned in the shouts of billion plus fans. I wish the nation understands what it means to stand by your soldiers, and to boycott a single day of sporting entertainment is not bigger than self respect. Jai Hind 🫡

The mistake many analysts are making is that they are treating IPL like it is still a pure television property. It is not. The IPL has evolved into a multi-screen, multi-platform entertainment ecosystem. The audience has not disappeared. The audience has migrated. Here is the correct strategic narrative: ⸻ IPL: The Screen Changed. The Audience Did Not. The headlines screaming “IPL viewership decline” are selectively quoting one metric: Average Minute Audience on linear television. That is only one part of the ecosystem. What those headlines ignore is the far more important structural shift taking place across global sports consumption: * Viewers are moving from broadcast TV to OTT * Families are splitting viewing across devices * Young audiences prefer mobile and Connected TV * Advertisers increasingly want measurable engagement, not just TV ratings The IPL is not shrinking. It is transforming faster than traditional media can measure. ⸻ The Real Story Is Total Reach In 2008, IPL operated in a largely television-driven India. Today, IPL lives simultaneously across: * Linear television * Mobile streaming * Tablets * Connected TVs * Smart TVs * Multi-device households * Social amplification ecosystems That changes how audiences are counted. The cumulative reach across platforms in IPL 2026 has already crossed 1.06 billion viewers, with the playoffs still to come. That is not decline. That is scale expansion. ⸻ Television Ratings Fell. But The Universe Expanded. Yes, TV ratings are lower. But the interpretation matters. Linear TV was once the only screen. Now it is simply one screen among many. Connected TV concurrency is up 61% YoY. Opening weekend watch time rose 26% YoY. The audience did not leave IPL. They upgraded their screens. ⸻ IPL Is Following The Same Pattern As Every Major Global Sports Property This is not unique to cricket. The same transition happened with: * NFL * NBA * Premier League * Formula 1 * Olympics Traditional TV softens while: * streaming explodes, * mobile dominates younger demographics, * and connected TV becomes the premium household screen. The IPL is simply entering the next phase earlier and faster because India is one of the world’s most mobile-first digital economies. ⸻ Why Advertisers Are Shifting To Digital Television can tell you: * a household watched. Digital can tell you: * who watched, * for how long, * on what device, * whether they interacted, * and whether they bought. That is the future of advertising economics. Which is why: * 125 new brands entered the digital IPL ecosystem this season * Connected TV ad pricing continues to strengthen * Watch time across combined platforms is projected to exceed last year’s record levels The monetisation engine is evolving. ⸻ The Most Important Metric: Total Consumption The real measure of sports dominance is not one-screen TV ratings anymore. It is: * cumulative reach, * total watch time, * engagement depth, * concurrency, * advertiser demand, * and cross-platform dominance. By that measurement, IPL remains one of the most powerful sports-entertainment properties on earth. Projected combined watch time for IPL 2026: 850–900 billion minutes. That is extraordinary. ⸻ The Strategic Perspective Critics are looking at IPL through a 2008 lens. But IPL in 2026 is no longer: * a cricket tournament, * or even just a TV product. It is: * a digital entertainment ecosystem, * a mobile-first phenomenon, * and one of the largest real-time engagement platforms in the world. The measurement model changed. The audience behaviour changed. The scale did not shrink. It expanded. “The IPL did not lose its audience. The audience simply changed screens. Measuring a digital-first global sports property only through television ratings is like measuring the internet through newspaper circulation.” IndianPremierLeague Press Trust of India JioHotstar espn starsport ESPN

The Australian government does not deserve our trust, or our respect. Today, Minister Penny Wong sat back in her chair grappling for words, desperately looking for the right lie to tell. It is worse than dishonest - it is an absolute lack of care. Penny Wong came to this country when she was 8 years old. She came to a country that afforded her the ability to become who she is, and she is now doing her part to destroy it. Back in the 70’s, when she came, Australia was a fair-minded place and a great place to be. Yet here she is... Here in Australia. Undermining our country and lying to our faces. Because she can’t tell the truth. Because if she did, it would destroy any semblance of care for Australia tied to her old party’s Labor brand. It would say the quiet part out loud. The truth. The truth that the Albanese government is more interested in the fortunes of the ISIS brides, women who chose to leave this country to go and fight against our people, than those of us that can’t find or afford a place to live here at home. I am tired of being told how to think by people that completely lack morals and couldn’t care less. People that are elected and paid to operate in the national interest but always put their twisted ethics and back pockets ahead of our nation and our people. I don’t know when Labor stopped caring about Australian workers or worse, when they started hating Australia, but they have and they do. The absolute lack of opposition, the lack of authentic choice has pushed us into a place where these absolute traitors to the interests of the people who pay them - goes entirely unchecked. We are careening out of control, unchecked migration, an energy grid that is just about to collapse, no industry to speak of, and no good reason to start or maintain a business in this place. It happened fast, but those of us who pay our taxes and take risks to make Australia a better place, are being undermined and white-anted by our politicians. The people we are forced to trust, and must pretend to respect, because they have the force of law on their side. Not because they are any good at their jobs. Not because they have earned our affection. No. Simply because they are in charge and there is little to nothing that can be done about it. It is becoming apparent that the two party system has outlived its useful life. Too much corruption, too many words too carefully chosen in a pantomime between to political forces that don’t really want to change anything. They just want to have their go, to have their turn to jam their grubby hands into the till. Surely with this major and catastrophic failure by the so-called Honourable Minister Senator Wong, the people will be able to see through the veil and into the absolute and irresponsible lack of care at the heart of this deceitful Labor government. They lie about everything, and they can, because they don’t have an opposition worthy of the title. I am growing more confident by the day that the only solution to our woes is a new political force, a fresh, Australia first force, that will act in the national interest and put all these corrupt and useless used-car salesmen red and blue in the dustbin of history. It can’t come soon enough. Time is short. I just want Australia back.

AUKUS, Mistakes and Opportunities In 2016, Japan offered Australia state-of-the-art, diesel-electric, ultra-quiet submarines with the option of local production at the Henderson shipyard. The Australian government rejected the proposal, claiming its goal was always nuclear-powered submarines. Instead, Australia decided to spend roughly A$4-5 billion extending the life of its ageing Collins-class fleet until the 2040s . enough money to have bought seven-eight Japanese Taigei-class submarines outright. If that’s really what the government wanted, the Americans and British certainly sent them the bill for AUKUS. Australia is footing almost the entire cost: A$368 billion over three decades. - The United States receives US$3 billion from Australia to expand its industrial base, build more Virginia-class submarines, and then sells 3–5 second-hand boats back to Canberra. - The United Kingdom receives around £2.4 billion from Australia for design and infrastructure work, shares some development costs, and ends up using the exact same SSN-AUKUS design for its own future fleet at essentially no extra cost. I’m genuinely intrigued by how they managed to sell the Australians on this deal. I’d love to meet and congratulate the American and British negotiators – true sales geniuses. Nuclear submarines must have been a childhood dream of that Australian government; there’s no other explanation. But the problems don’t end there. Just as the Americans have cancelled over 300 programmes and thrown away more than US$200 billion in the last 20 years, the British have serious and very recent issues with their own naval projects. It feels like a structural disease in the Western defence industry. - The Astute programme is more than a decade late, costs have tripled, only 5 of the planned 7 boats have been delivered, and engineering problems keep cropping up. - The Dreadnought class (replacement for the Vanguard ballistic-missile submarines) has ballooned by billions and is now delayed well beyond 2030 because of failures integrating propulsion systems and Trident missiles. - And the crown jewels – the Queen Elizabeth and Prince of Wales aircraft carriers – are operational but chronically short of compatible F-35s and cost a staggering £10 billion in overruns. - The Type 45 destroyers suffered catastrophic electrical failures that left them inoperable for years, and the Type 26 frigate programme has been repeatedly cut back, reflecting completely misplaced priorities. And a programme that is supposed to deliver eight submarines to Australia sometime around 2050–2060 is extremely unlikely to proceed as planned, not only because of budgets and operational complications, but because underwater drones are evolving fast and China is leading that race. The Americans and British have a long naval history, but they are also visionaries who understand perfectly well that the future lies in decentralisation: swarms of UUVs, lithium or solid battery submarines, or even small nuclear-powered ones using micro-reactors. These platforms cost 10–20 % of today’s conventional SSNs to maintain, are lighter, and leave far more internal volume for weapons – meaning smaller, cheaper, and more heavily armed submarines. And what does Australia get left with? Far more than just a submarine partnership with Japan – an entire security ecosystem. By 2026-2028, Japan plans to have the HVPG hypersonic glide vehicles fully operational with ranges up to 2,000 km. Their upgraded Type 12 missiles will reach 1,000–1,500 km and can be launched from ships, aircraft, and land batteries. This is enough to cover and protect the entire Australian coastline for thousands of kilometers. And finally, a 3,000 km-range hypersonic missile is being integrated into the Taigei-class and its successor. That arsenal is far beyond anything currently fielded by any Western nation and only Russia and China have comparable systems.

🔥🚨 BOMBSHELL INTERVIEW ALERT 🚨🔥 Ousmane Dembélé just sat down for a no-filter interview… and what he said about Lionel Messi and the World Cup is already exploding across social media 😳💥 When the journalist asked him the big question “Does Messi deserve a World Cup?” Dembélé didn’t hesitate. 🗣️ Dembélé: “No. I’m going to be honest, and a lot of people won’t like this… but no, I don’t think Messi deserved that World Cup the way it happened. Listen, Messi is an incredible player, one of the greatest talents the game has ever seen. I played with him, I saw what he can do up close. But ‘deserving’ a World Cup is different. A World Cup is supposed to be the purest competition in football. What we saw in 2022… and what we’re seeing again now… doesn’t always feel pure. There were so many soft penalties, so many moments where the whistle only seemed to go one way. The physicality that was allowed against us, the decisions in the biggest games… it left a bad taste. You work your whole life for these moments and then you feel the match is being influenced by things outside the pitch. That hurts more than losing. I’m not saying Messi isn’t a legend. He is. But when people talk about ‘deserving,’ I look at the full picture the refereeing, the narratives, the pressure on certain teams, the way some matches felt guided. Football should be decided by the players on the field, not by other factors. And this World Cup we’re in right now? Don’t even get me started. Too many strange results, too many soft calls in key moments, too many games that leave you shaking your head. Fans can feel it. Players can feel it. Something is off and nobody wants to say it out loud. I have massive respect for Messi the footballer. But if you’re asking me from the heart whether that 2022 title felt fully clean and fully deserved in the pure sporting sense… my answer is no. And I know I’m not the only one who thinks it.” 😱🔥 The interview is already causing chaos. Argentine fans are furious, French fans are divided, and neutral fans are arguing non-stop in the replies. Dembélé went there. No filter. No holding back.
