Sachin Tendulkar was being compared even before he became a household name - that’s how extraordinary his rise was. • At 15, likened to Sunil Gavaskar by the Mumbai circuit • In 1992, Imran Khan compared him with Inzamam-ul-Haq • At 88, Don Bradman saw his own reflection in...

Bradman never missed a Tendulkar innings in last five years (and his Dream XI) Sir Donald Bradman was first impressed by Sachin Tendulkar during a 1996 World Cup match against Australia, as revealed in the book Bradman’s Best. “Australia won (that match) but not before a stunning 90 from Tendulkar that captured the Don’s attention,” the book says in the chapter The Star of India. Authored by Roland Perry, the book became a bestseller soon after release. “He was most taken in by Tendulkar’s technique, compactness and his shot production and had asked his wife to have a look at the Indian as he felt that Tendulkar played like he had. Jessie agreed that they appeared similar. “Bradman never missed a chance to see Tendulkar from then until the end of the 1999 three-match Test series in Australia,” the book says. On their meeting: “Tendulkar asked Bradman how he prepared himself before a big match. Bradman replied that when he was in Adelaide he would go to his job as a sharebroker for several hours before going to the ground.” From a pool of 69 players, Bradman selected his Dream XI, which included Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev, and Tendulkar. Bradman’s Dream XI: Barry Richards, Arthur Morris, Don Bradman, Sachin Tendulkar, Gary Sobers, Don Tallon, Ray Lindwall, Dennis Lillee, Alec Bedser, Bill O’Reilly, Clarrie Grimmett, Wally Hammond.

“I just want to touch your feet and your wife’s feet before I go back home.” Sachin Tendulkar to Suleman "Solly" Adam The story of Sachin Tendulkar’s Yorkshire stint wouldn’t have been possible without “Solly Bhai.” Adam recalls meeting Sachin at his son’s wedding in 1990 and sounding him out about playing in the UK. After initially bringing Vinod Kambli for league cricket, he pushed Yorkshire to look beyond their rigid selection rules. When an overseas signing fell through, Adam argued: if they could sign an Australian, why not an Indian or Pakistani? After persistent efforts, the committee finally agreed and he immediately recommended Tendulkar. Sachin first declined, but after Sunil Gavaskar intervened and with growing global buzz, Tendulkar changed his mind. “Solly bhai, I’m coming,” he said. Though Yorkshire provided accommodation, Tendulkar preferred staying at Solly’s home, where he was treated as a family member

At 14, Sachin Tendulkar scored a century on his Ranji Trophy debut. At 15, he handled Kapil Dev with ease in the nets when invited by Dilip Vengsarkar. At 16, he was struck on the nose by a bouncer from Waqar Younis, yet went on to score a fighting fifty and help save the Test match. At 16, he also took on the premier leg-spinner of that era, Abdul Qadir, smashing 53 off 18 balls and adding 65 runs with Srikkanth, whose contribution was just 12. At 17, he scored 96 off 75 balls in a Ranji Trophy final while chasing 355, putting on a 134-run partnership with Vengsarkar. At 17, he registered a match-saving Test century in England. At 18, he became the first Indian to score a Test hundred at WACA Ground, widely regarded as one of the fastest pitches in the world, in his very first innings there despite having no prior exposure to such conditions. Just because everything wasn’t recorded at the time doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Comparisons are inevitable, but that doesn’t mean Tendulkar at 15 wasn’t already exceptional.

🚨WASHINGTON SUNDAR CAN BE LIKE JACQUES KALLIS - ASHWIN🤯 Ravichandran Ashwin said :🗣️ "Even in Test cricket, India needs to decide Washington Sundar's role. I know he is a very good batter & a more than handy spinner but India should decide, they should communicate to Sundar, what his first role is - is he a top 6 batter or one of my top 4 match winner bowlers? You can tell that he can be like Jacques Kallis, but that is a big comparison. Kallis has the numbers of Sachin Tendulkar in batting & Zaheer Khan in bowling. He is once in a generation player but his first skill was batting. He used to bat at No 3, and he was the fourth or fifty seamer for South Africa. Washington Sundar also has to be batting in the top 6. If I am there, I am going to tell him, you are a top 6 batter. If it is necessary, then you will be required to bowl".

At just 17 years old, Kylian Mbappé made his debut for France, beginning an international career that would soon make him one of football’s biggest stars. The legend was already being written before most people realized it. Bondy, a suburb of Paris, was an unlikely place for one of football’s greatest talents to emerge. Kylian Mbappé grew up with extraordinary ability and a fearless style that quickly set him apart. He didn’t wait for the world to notice him—he exploded onto the scene with blistering pace and unforgettable performances. At just 18, he was starring for Monaco in the Champions League, leaving defenders behind with ease. Soon came his breakthrough with France, and at 19 he became only the second teenager ever to score in a World Cup final, joining Pelé in the history books. His success continued at PSG, where league titles, goals, and record-breaking performances became the norm. Then came the move to Real Madrid, football’s biggest stage, where he continued to prove why he belongs among the game’s elite. Mbappé’s greatness isn’t defined only by his speed, finishing, or trophy collection. It’s his ability to deliver when the stakes are highest. Time and again, when his team needed a moment of brilliance, he was already there. Some players rise to big occasions. For Kylian Mbappé, the biggest occasions seem to rise to him. His legacy is already secure, and his story is still being written.

Last week on Godlogic live, this man left Islam, not because someone argued with him, but because he actually sat down, opened the Quran and the Bible, and read with his eyes opened. He compared both books, then went further to compare Muhammad and Jesus, and that’s when it hit him “Wait… I’ve been believing the wrong things.” Nobody preached to him o, he just used the brain God gave him. 🧠 The part that shocked me most was when he mentioned a verse in the Quran about Allah coming with clouds and angels. Then he checked the Bible and saw the same description already written about Jesus, long before the Quran existed. He was like, “Something is not right here…” basically all these titles and characteristics were stolen from the Bible and given to Allah. Mehn, I’m honestly happy for him. Bro did his research, followed truth, and made his decision. Video will be in the comment section 🍿

Atta Tarar came out today with the same tired allegations against Imran Khan . Nothing new. Nothing proven. Just another attempt to distract from PMLN’s own failures. Imran Khan has been in jail for more than two years and still inspires millions. Courts and independent observers have already dismissed the political cases against him. His record is clean. His life is transparent. His leadership remains unmatched. If Tarar wants to talk about patriotism and integrity, he should start with his own party. Nawaz Sharif openly blamed Pakistan after the 2008 Mumbai attacks in his Dawn interview. That single statement damaged Pakistan internationally and gave our enemies exactly what they wanted. Then there are the Sharif family’s links in India. From RAW-connected employees in their mills to backdoor business dealings with the Jindal family, none of it has ever been explained honestly. And everyone remembers Modi’s surprise visit to the Sharif home for a private wedding. That wasn’t diplomacy. It was personal showmanship at Pakistan’s expense. And the court theatrics? Maryam Nawaz turned every hearing into a spectacle. Nawaz Sharif tried the same. Yet when he faked illness in jail to build pressure, even Khawaja Asif admitted they couldn’t gather 100 people outside the hospital. That’s because the support simply wasn’t there. Now compare that to Imran Khan. When he gives a call, not hundreds but hundreds of thousands come out, ready to sacrifice anything for him. No fake illnesses. No drama. He works out in jail, stays focused, and refuses to bow down. He leads with dignity even from behind bars, and that’s why millions stand with him. That is real leadership. Atta Tarar should stop these weak smear attempts and reflect on the record of his own party. Pakistan deserves honesty, not theatrics. And as Khawaja Asif himself admitted, people will not come out for a leader who cuts deals and runs whenever things get tough. Why would anyone sacrifice for that? Truth will prevail. Justice will prevail. Imran Khan will prevail. Imran Khan Zindabad Pakistan Paindabad

Allen Graves on Darko Rajaković, and his workout with the Raptors: “Definitely got out there, on a visit to Toronto. I just saw the culture there, and how amazing it was.” “Got to see the head coach, and his style of play.” “They like bigger wings. Just being able to go showcase what I can do in front of him, in front of their whole front office staff, was an amazing feeling. You could tell they’re very invested into the team, not just basketball-wise, but who you are as a person.” “Off the court, on the court, they build that relationship with you, and that’s something that’s really invaluable to me, because you want to build that relationship with your coach. That’s something Santa Clara did with me, and that’s why I loved my time there.” “I could tell how invested he was in the players. He was at every player’s individual workouts in their offseason. [He] was there right behind them , telling them, critiquing them, giving them advice.” “His dedication to wanting his players to succeed is what I noticed the most, and stuck with me even now.”

The best hire I ever made was a 12 year old kid from LA. His name is Eric Pham. He was making Fortnite montages in his bedroom. There was something special about him… the way he commanded the room and talked to a to camera was, different. He was funny. He was charismatic. He wasn't afraid to be himself. He just had “it”. Most people would've scrolled right past him. In 2019 I met Pham, quickly saw the potential he had and wanted to help. I then picked him up to my gaming startup Devour. A two years later he was at 100K subs. Now, he has hundreds of millions of views to his name. He's gone on to build massive channels outside of gaming, and is now the CMO of one of the fastest growing companies in creator tech (Viewmax with NotLuc). Everyone waits for the numbers to tell them someone's talented. By then it's too late. The best talent doesn't look like talent yet. It looks like a chubby kid in his bedroom with a ring light and 926 subscribers.

They Shot Him Because He Tried to Save Teenagers On January 8, Ghasem Salami rushed forward to protect several teenagers who were being targeted by a sniper positioned on a rooftop. At that moment, he was attacked by three plainclothes agents. They first shocked him with a taser, then brutally beat him with fists, kicks, and the butt of a rifle. When people moved in to rescue him, one of the agents drew his handgun, pressed the barrel against Ghasem’s chest, and said, “You must die,” before pulling the trigger. The bullet narrowly missed his heart but tore through his chest and struck his spinal cord, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down. He was taken to the hospital, underwent two surgeries, and was later discharged. Tragically, he died soon after due to complications from the gunshot wound and a fatal cardiac embolism. Although the official death certificate lists “cardiac arrest” as the cause of death, the truth is that the bullet fired by Khamenei’s forces took the life of this brave and free-spirited citizen. He was finally laid to rest beside his mother. His name is eternal. His memory will live on.💔✌🏻 #IranMassacre

Sometimes I don’t understand why Ajit Agarkar was and is always against Sanju Samson In 2023, India had 3 squads for the Asia Cup, Asian Games & ODI World Cup. 31 different players got selected across those tournaments & somehow Sanju wasn’t part of any squads. What’s even crazier is that he was picked as a reserve player for the Asia Cup, which meant he wasn’t part of the Asian Games squad & it also affected his plans to play County Cricket. So in the end he wasn’t part of the Asia Cup squad, wasn’t part of the Asian Games squad & couldn’t continue with his County plans either. Everyone who followed the ODI matches before the 2023 World Cup knew Sanju was the most deserving guy who wasn’t picked in the squad. When Sanju scored 3 T20I centuries as an opener in 2024, Ajit Agarkar openly said he was only playing because Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal were unavailable. Imagine saying that about a player who had just scored 3 centuries in 5 matches for India in T20Is something no one has done before in a year. Most players would get backed after performances like that. That was so disrespectful from the national selector. I wonder how Sanju would have felt that day. Then came the ODI explanation. Ajit Agarkar said Sanju wasn’t being picked because he was a top-order batter. But Sanju has literally batted everywhere in ODI cricket other than opening and his numbers have been excellent irrespective of the position. His last ODI innings was a match-winning century in a series decider against South Africa at Paarl, one of the toughest batting venues in the country, and after that innings he never played another ODI for India. Last year selectors picked ODI squad with 3 different WKs for a series & Sanju wasn’t one of them. That’s when the explanation came that Sanju is a top-order batter. But now Virat Kohli gets injured and India need a No.3 batter, yet Sanju still isn’t being considered despite being the last Indian batter other than Kohli to score an ODI century at No.3. So he wasn’t picked because he was a top-order batter, but when a top-order spot opens up he still isn’t picked. What kind of logic is that? And the most frustrating part is that it’s always the same guy missing out whenever an ICC event comes around when he deserve the most 🔹 2021 T20 World Cup 🔹 2022 T20 World Cup 🔹 2023 Asia Cup 🔹 2023 Asian Games 🔹 2023 ODI Cricket World Cup 🔹 2025 ICC Champions Trophy Every single time it’s Sanju Samson What’s even crazier is that during the T20 World Cup cycle he gets some chances in ODI squads while completely neglecting him in T20 squad , and vice versa during the ODI World Cup cycle he would suddenly appear in T20 squads. Not because he was getting consistent opportunities, but because he was never given a clear role or a long run in either format. 2-3 failures & he would be out again💔 No backing. No continuity. No clarity. Things have always been different when it comes to Sanju Samson First time he was picked for an ICC event was for the 2024 T20 World Cup, but didn’t get to play a single match & India won an ICC tournament after more than a decade The only ICC tournament Sanju Samson has actually played in during his entire 11-year international career was the 2026 T20 World Cup. The only ICC tournament he actually got an opportunity to play, he ended up being the best player of the tournament📈 One of the things I admire most about Sanju is that he has never shown frustration. He never complained, never held grudges against those who disrespected him, and never made excuses. He always kept a smile on his face, even during the lowest moments of his career 💎 Every opportunity had to be earned the hard way, every place in the squad had to be fought for, and every setback had to be overcome without any backing Even after winning the WorldCup as POTT, some people are still questioning his place in the team which makes me realise that every match for Sanju will always remain as a “Do or Die” game😅

Things have always been different when it comes to Sanju Samson First time he was picked for an ICC event was for the 2024 T20 World Cup, but didn’t get to play a single match & India won an ICC tournament after more than a decade The only ICC tournament Sanju Samson has actually played in during his entire 11-year international career was the 2026 T20 World Cup. The only ICC tournament he actually got an opportunity to play, he ended up being the best player of the tournament📈 One of the things I admire most about Sanju is that he has never shown frustration. He never complained, never held grudges against those who disrespected him, and never made excuses. He always kept a smile on his face, even during the lowest moments of his career 💎 Every opportunity had to be earned the hard way, every place in the squad had to be fought for, and every setback had to be overcome without any backing Even after winning the WorldCup as POTT, some people are still questioning his place in the team which makes me realise that every match for Sanju will always remain as a “Do or Die” game😅

To the global cricketing community, legends, current stars, commentators, administrators, and fans worldwide: Imran Khan , the man who captained Pakistan to the 1992 World Cup glory, revolutionized the game with his all-round brilliance, leadership, and vision both on and off the field, is now fighting for his sight and dignity in Adiala Jail. Recent court reports confirm he has lost nearly **85% of vision in his right eye**left with only about 15% due to untreated central retinal vein occlusion. Jail authorities allegedly ignored his repeated complaints of blurred vision for months, leading to irreversible damage from a blood clot. At 73, after over **900 days in solitary confinement**, he faces ongoing medical neglect, restricted family access, and inhumane conditions despite international human rights standards demanding proper care for every prisoner. This is not politics alone; this is a fellow cricketer, a World Cup-winning captain, an icon who inspired generations of players across borders, being subjected to what amounts to cruel and degrading treatment. Cricket has always stood for fair play, resilience, and speaking truth to power whether on the pitch or beyond. It is your **moral duty** to speak up now. The silence from the cricketing world is deafening when one of its greatest legends is losing his eyesight in prison due to deliberate neglect. Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Shoaib Akhtar, and others showed solidarity in the past now is the time for the entire fraternity to unite louder than ever. - Demand immediate, independent medical treatment and specialist care for Imran Khan. - Call for an end to solitary confinement and restoration of basic rights. - Urge global bodies like the ICC, players' associations, and media to raise their voices against this injustice. The time is **NOW** before more harm is done. Imran Khan once saw the future of cricket and led Pakistan to victory against all odds. Today, the cricketing world must see his suffering and act. History will remember who stood up for a brother in the game when it mattered most. Speak out. Use your platforms.

This little tiger lost his mother when he was still very young, so he ended up growing up around bears. After spending so much time with them, he seemed to think he was one of them too. But fitting in wasn’t always easy. Some of the bears would push him away or even steal his food, and the little tiger often found himself alone. There was one bear cub, though, who never treated him differently. The cub stayed close to him, played with him, and was always licking his ears like they were brothers. When the caretaker noticed the tiger being picked on, he decided to separate him from the bears and raise him on his own. But instead of becoming happier, the tiger seemed miserable. He stopped eating properly and even tried to escape, as if he was searching for the family he had grown up with. That’s when the caretaker realized just how much the tiger missed his little bear friend. As soon as the two were reunited, everything changed. The tiger was happy again, and his bear buddy immediately went back to licking his ears like nothing had happened. From that day on, they stayed together, growing up side by side, playing and exploring together. They may have been completely different animals, but to this tiger, that little bear wasn’t just his best friend. He was family.

🚨🇵🇰 LEADING PAKISTANI JOURNALIST BREAKS SILENCE: TORTURE, ABDUCTION, AND A REFUSAL TO BETRAY IMRAN KHAN One of Pakistan’s biggest voices just described a nightmare that sounds like a political thriller. Imran Riaz Khan was abducted, tortured, and held in secret detention for months. His crime was refusing to follow the military’s narrative after the 2022 regime change. He says the demand was simple and constant: Go against his former Prime Minister Imran Khan and provide false evidence. He refused. What followed, he says, was extreme torture. Blindfolds. Hands tied behind his back. Hung by his arms or legs for hours. Isolation so complete that guards were forbidden from responding when he greeted them. He says the mental torture was worse than the physical pain. For more than four months, he says he was kept in a cell barely large enough to lie down. No human contact. Drugs injected. Repeated beatings. All for one video. They wanted him to record a statement saying he was free, hiding by choice, and that the state had nothing to do with him. He says he refused because that video would erase their responsibility if he was killed. He says they threatened him directly. Journalist Arshad Sharif was killed after refusing the same demands. And he was told he was next. Eventually, he fled Pakistan through the mountains. On foot. At night. One of Pakistan’s most familiar faces, crossing borders illegally and being attacked by wolves simply to stay alive. He is now in hiding in the UK, and runs one of the country’s largest YouTube channels We get into: • How he says the military pressured journalists to help remove Imran Khan • What he describes inside secret detention sites run by intelligence agencies • Why he refused to become a false witness against Imran Khan and judges • How Arshad Sharif’s killing changed everything • Why he says even exile does not mean safety • Why he believes Pakistan is heading toward a breaking point Stay quiet. Disappear. Or pay the price. Imran Riaz Khan says he chose something else: to speak. 00:45 – Why the military tried to force him to betray Imran Khan 02:12 – The exact pressure he says he faced in secret meetings 05:44 – How his torture began and what they demanded 07:19 – Why he says Imran Khan was the only leader who never retaliated 09:35 – How he became the most-watched journalist in Pakistan 12:10 – Why he believes May 9 was a state-orchestrated trigger 15:33 – The fake case he was asked to fabricate against Imran Khan 18:50 – What happened the night Imran Khan was ousted 22:07 – What he says happened inside an intelligence-run secret prison 25:58 – The moment he realized they were preparing to kill him 29:46 – How Arshad Sharif’s murder became a warning to others 33:14 – The trap he says was set to frame him with planted terrorists 36:22 – What his captors said when they finally released him 39:30 – Why he stayed in Pakistan even after being tortured 42:41 – His hidden escape route through the mountains 45:55 – The animal attack that nearly killed him during his escape 49:08 – How he crossed into Afghanistan under threat of assassination 52:34 – What the UK told him while deciding whether to grant asylum 56:05 – Why he says even exile can’t guarantee safety Disclaimer: Views expressed are my personal opinion as an Australian citizen permanently resident in Dubai, UAE, protected under Article 19 of the ICCPR (as ratified by Australia) and UAE constitutional provisions on freedom of expression.

🚨 Woman stabs man in the neck while he slept — he died in his father’s arms. Kristin Sculley, 22, of Massapequa, was charged with second-degree murder after attacking 28-year-old Bobby Carragher in the basement of his parents’ Beaumont Avenue home. Police say the two acquaintances had spent the evening watching TV together. At some point Sculley became angry, pulled out a pocketknife, and stabbed Carragher in the neck while he was sleeping striking an artery. He managed to climb the stairs screaming for help. His parents rushed to him in the kitchen and tried to stop the bleeding, but he became unresponsive and died in his father’s arms. Sculley was found hiding in the lower level of the house with the knife. She pleaded not guilty at arraignment and was remanded to jail. No family should ever have to watch their son bleed out like that after being attacked in his sleep by someone they welcomed into their home. What drives someone to this level of sudden, lethal violence against a friend or acquaintance?

During the Sey/Partridge debate, it became clear quite immediately that Sey didn’t actually have an argument, he just tried to disprove what Dale said. The problem with this is that the debate was over by the time Dale finished his opening. He brought several interpretations, gave them appropriate weight, compared historical and criminal data, the writings of Christian forefathers, and synthesized it into a compelling argument that’s more than enough to continue on believing what Christians (and even non Christians) have always believed. However, Sey consistently continued to insist that there is only one race—the human race (which is verifiably false) but he had so many caveats and qualifiers and “it depends” that by the end of it his answer was “it’s sinful to even think there are different races if you do it like Dale does.”

THE EVIL RAPHESU WAS SUBJECTED TO UNDER ANDREA JOHNSON Cedric Nkabinde is such a traitor, a weak man who has allowed himself to be used by people to destroy other Black people's lives. He sold General Mkhwanazi to Minister Mchunu by recording his calls with him while he called Mkhwanazi "a close friend". Today we hear he sold out Mantsha Raphesu to Andrea Johnson and her cronies. 😭 Raphesu is so strong and determined to have him arrested. He claimed Raphesu called him to tell him that he was being investigated by IDAC, and the Investigator in the case was Brian Padayachee. There was no such a thing. There was not even an investigation against him. Then Mantsha was called by Johnson to her Office and told the allegations, and asked to hand over everything regarding the cases he was working on. They would institute a disciplinary case against him. Raphesu obviously denied ever calling Nkabinde. He offered to do a Polygraph test, offered to hand over his cellphone to be checked to show he never called Nkabinde. They did not do as he proposed. They took from February to October not saying anything to him about the disciplinary case, meanwhile sidelining him in the office. He wrote to them in October and enquired what was happening with the case. He has been told Nkabinde has written an Affidavit probably to withdraw his allegations. Raphesu has requested the Commission to assist him with an Investigator to make sure his matter doesn't land in wrong hands as he put it. He is going to open a criminal case against him. As he should. Currently he says he was removed from any cases relating to the Security Cluster. He is allocated cases from the Zondo Commission, Transnet etc. He says he just sits in his corner in that office. Andrea Johnson and all the people who schemed with her to destroy people's lives must pay a heavy price. This young man must fight for his rights. #MadlangaCommission
