🚨 First time in Cricket History MS Dhoni Bating With Ice Bag 🧊 Mahendra Singh Dhoni was promoted to open the innings against England at Jamshedpur in ODI 2006 One single mistake ruined his whole Legendary innings worst nightmare 💔 In a cruel twist of fate, Dhoni asked for the ice bag during the drinks break. On the very first ball after the break, he was caught out on 96, just four runs short of a Century 😭 The temperature in Jamshedpur soared to an exhausting 44°C. Because he was batting for a long time in the punishing heat and also had to keep wickets in the second innings Dhoni placed an ice bag inside his shirt to prevent dehydration and severe cramps.

Sourav Ganguly tells the story of how MS Dhoni was made: “We went to Vizag for a match against Pakistan. After the team meeting, Dhoni was set to bat at No. 7. That night, I was watching the news and thinking about how to turn him into a great player because he had immense potential. The next morning, after the warm-up and the toss—which I won—I decided to bat. While walking back, I thought, “Let’s send him up and see what happens.” Dhoni was sitting in his shorts, expecting to bat at No. 7. I told him, “MS, you’ll bat at No. 3.” He asked, “And you?” I said, “I’ll bat at No. 4—you go at 3.” He ended up scoring 170.”💥

For the BCCI and Asia Cricket Council apologists saying that India cannot boycott the series. Here’s a little bit of history: - Pakistan boycotted the 1990-91 Asia Cup because of tensions with India. - The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) decided not to participate as a protest against India’s policies in Kashmir. As a result, Pakistan did not take part, and only India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh played in that edition. India can and India must boycott any match with Pakistan. No cricket over terror

Remember after winning the 5 match ODI series against Sri Lanka in 2018, Ms Dhoni sat in a car with the team, trying to figure out the brakes and how to drive it, while the rest of the players were sitting there full of confidence. 😂😆

Bryson DeChambeau just had 230 yards to the pin, over water, out of a bunker and he was blocked out. He sent a long iron out way over the water, hooked it back to the left side of the green, and holed it for eagle. Incredible! He’s within 1 shot of the lead at the International Series India! 🙌

I first met Modi ji in 2010, when he was the Chief Minister of Gujarat. We had a match against South Africa in Ahmedabad, and the teams were lined up on the field for introductions just before the game began. Modi ji arrived and shook hands with all the players. That was the first time I met him. Mahendra Singh Dhoni, our captain at the time, introduced me to him. Modi ji smiled and said to Dhoni, “Take care of him.. he’s our boy.” That simple line coming from someone in his position, especially in front of my team, made me feel incredibly proud and happy. It reflected warmth, and the genuine personal care he extends to everyone he meets. It’s a moment I’ve never forgotten. #MyModiStory

When Australia ended West Indies’ 15-year dominance. #OnThisDay in 1995, Australia became the first side in 15 years to defeat West Indies in a Test series - a moment that marked a seismic shift in world cricket. The Australian players celebrated the historic triumph late into the night, but for Steve Waugh, the emotion ran deeper. He famously went to sleep still wearing his whites, socks, and baggy green cap - a reflection of just how much the victory meant to him. That win in Jamaica wasn’t just a series result; it signalled the beginning of a new era for Australian cricket. It was also a defining chapter in Waugh’s career, as his resilience and match-winning 200 became one of the cornerstones of his enduring legacy.

The Sydney Bondi Beach incident is extremely tragic and condemnable. As Pakistan has suffered from terrorism for a long time, we fully understand the grief of the Australian people and express complete solidarity with them. Some media outlets hastily claimed that one of the attackers was linked to Pakistan, despite the fact that there was neither evidence nor verification to support this claim. This assertion was later proven to be completely false. According to a press release issued by the Indian police, the attacker belonged to Hyderabad, Telangana, and it has been confirmed that his passport was issued by the Indian High Commission in Sydney. Holding Pakistan responsible merely on the basis of a name was part of a deliberate misinformation campaign. There is evidence of india sponsoring Terrorism in Balochistan and KPK provinces in Pakistan and also transnational assisnations like Hardeep Singh Najar in canada. Pakistan has remained a frontline state in the fight against terrorism, and after such immense sacrifices, running such a campaign against Pakistan is extremely unfortunate.

🚨 THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL MOMENT IN INDIAN CRICKET HISTORY. 🚨 Imagine being on 194 not out, just 6 runs away from a historic double century against Pakistan..... only for your captain to DECLARE. 🤯 Multan, 2004: Rahul Dravid pulled the plug on Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin was visibly devastated. The dressing room was stunned. The fans were furious.😭 Dravid said it was a tactical move to win the Test match. Fans called it a betrayal of a living legend.💔 What do you think about this?🤔

#FlashbackFriday India’s first ODI in Pakistan after a gap of 7 years. In 2004, Pakistan fell five runs short of India 349 in the highest-scoring match in the history of ODIs of that time. Mohammad Kaif produced a stunning running catch at long-off to dismiss Shoaib Malik, nearly colliding with Hemang Badani. Pakistan needed nine off the final over. Ashish Nehra held his nerve, bowling full and straight. Naved-ul-Hasan and Moin Khan could only manage singles, leaving six needed off the last ball. From the stands, Javed Miandad gestured anxiously as India sealed it.

To the people who question the need for laws to curb fake news. 📍Look at how confidently Mr. Prakash Belawadi is sharing false news. 📍Freedom of speech does not give a person license to spread fake news. 📍The Represention of peoples act is a law and its not an amendment of the constitution. 📍MMS became Rajya Sabha member in 1991 from Assam. Domicile clause was removed from Representation of People Act, (1951), in 2003 (not from Constitution). 📍Allegation that the basic structure of the Constitution was tampered with to accommodate him in RS when he became PM (2004) is false. Shame on you Prakash Belawadi for spreading canards at this age. Growing old has not helped you inculcate ethics.

Rohit Sharma in this 2016 Test series vs NZ: 5 inngs, 238 runs, avg 79. He got injured during the ODI series that followed and had to miss the home Test series against ENG and AUS. When he returned for the SL tour, he wasn’t given a chance to play. In the next test series he played, he scored 217 runs in 3 innings at an average of 217 against SL at home. Then came the South Africa tour, where almost every Indian batter struggled: Murali Vijay: 102 runs in 6 innings Pujara: 100 runs in 6 innings KL Rahul: 30 runs in 4 innings Rahane: 57 runs in 2 innings Dhawan: 32 runs in 2 innings Rohit: 78 runs in 4 innings Despite everyone failing except Virat, only Rohit was dropped for the England tour, after which he tweeted his iconic, “The sun will rise again.” Finally, after every opener failed, he got another chance, opening against South Africa at home, and delivered 529 runs in 4 innings at an average of 132.
