    “Gaa** Marwa Rhe Ho Udhar,” Hardik Pandya Abuses Indian Superstar

    Hardik Pandya was caught on stump-mic while abusing the benched Indian cricketers Arshdeep Singh and Ishan Kishan in the 2nd ODI against Sri Lanka. The viral video is getting mixed reviews from people. While some people are justifying Pandya’s verbal anger, others are not very happy with Pandya’s approach.

    The viral incident occurred after the 11th over. It seems that Hardik Pandya asked for water in the 10th over of Sri Lankan inning but the benched Indian players Arshdeep Singh and Ishan Kishan failed to hear him and thus could not get the water to him. This made Pandya angry and he shouted after the 11th over, “Paani maanga tha last over, gaa** marwa rhe ho udhar.”

    Unfortunately, for Hardik Pandya, the verbal abuse was caught on the stump mic and gave the netizens a reason to troll him on social media platforms. Some people on the internet are claiming that Pandya is just like his brother Krunal Pandya who was caught in trouble for abusing his teammate Deepak Hooda in domestic cricket.

    Here is the viral video of Hardik Pandya abusing the benched Indian players

    Hardik Pandya had already experienced trouble for his sharp tongue in his career when he was banned by the BCCI for a few matches after he spoke like a true misogynist on Koffee With Karan. What do you make of Hardik Pandya’s verbal abuse in the 2nd ODI against Sri Lanka? Do you think it is justified, or do you think that Pandya has overstepped his limits?

    ‘Magical Siraj is the best Indian bowler at the moment’ – Fans bow down to the pacer’s ODI performances via Twitter

    Mohammed Siraj, Team India’s fast bowler, continues to impress fans with his performances in the ongoing ODI series against Sri Lanka. In the second ODI at the Eden Gardens on January 12th, Siraj took 3 wickets and only gave up 30 runs in 5.4 overs, including dismissing Avishka Fernando in the sixth over and then cleaning up the tail-enders as Sri Lanka only managed to put 215 runs onboard.

    Siraj had a successful year in 2022, being India’s highest wicket-taker in ODIs with 24 scalps in 15 games and an average of 23.50. In the first ODI against Sri Lanka, he also took 2 wickets giving 30 runs in his seven overs, including a maiden.

    His impressive performances have not gone unnoticed by the Indian cricket team management and selectors, who are sure to consider him for the upcoming World Cup. Siraj’s ability to take wickets at crucial moments and his accuracy have made him a valuable asset to the team.

    Siraj’s journey to the national team has been a remarkable one. The right-arm pacer made his international debut in November 2017, but it was only in 2022 that he established himself as a regular member of the Indian team.

    Siraj’s fans are now calling for him to be a part of the Indian team for the ODI World Cup in 2023. Many of these fans show their admiration on Twitter.

    Here are some of the tweet reactions:

    With the Indian team looking to build a strong squad for the 2023 ODI World Cup, Siraj’s performances in the ongoing series against Sri Lanka will be closely watched by the selectors. If he continues to perform at this level, he could well be on his way to becoming one of India’s leading fast bowlers.

    “Kuldeep Yadav is used only as replacement…,” Wasim Jaffer

    Former Indian cricketer Wasim Jaffer has come out in support of Kuldeep Yadav after his match-turning performance in the ongoing 2nd ODI between India and Sri Lanka. The domestic cricket legend Wasim Jaffer Tweeted that Kuldeep Yadav gets limited chances in the Indian team but always impresses with his impactful performances.

    Kuldeep Yadav has dismissed Dasun Shanaka, the dangerous Sri Lankan skipper who scored an unbeaten century in the previous match against India. He also accounted for the wickets of well-set Kusal Mendis and Charith Asalanka.

    In his 8 overs so far, he has picked 3 wickets by giving away only 40 runs. Kuldeep Yadav replaced Yuzvendra Chahal in the Indian playing XI today. He was the only change made to the Indian cricket team in today’s match against Sri Lanka.

    After being impressed by Kuldeep’s today’s performance, Wasim Jaffer Tweeted, “This wicket taking ability in the middle overs is exactly why I’d pick @imkuldeep18 in every Indian white ball XI. But unfortunately he’s the first one to sit out, and then only comes in as replacement if needed, yet performs well in limited chances he gets.”

    In a recent tweet, Wasim Jaffer pointed out a major problem with Team India’s batting order

    India’s dominant performance in the first ODI against Sri Lanka, where they won by 67 runs, was marred by a warning from former India cricketer and analyst Wasim Jaffer.

    INS vs SL 2nd ODI

    Jaffer took to Twitter to point out a potential weakness in India’s batting lineup, stating that the team lacks depth in their batting after the number 7 spot.

    Here’s a snippet of what Wasim Jaffer tweeted.

    The Men in Blue put 373 runs on the board in the first ODI, with every batter contributing to the total. Openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill scored fifty-plus runs, and Virat Kohli brought up his 73rd international hundred and 45th ODI hundred. However, Jaffer noted that in the last three overs of the innings, India only scored 17 runs, a weakness that he believes could cost them in future matches.

    This warning comes ahead of the second ODI between India and Sri Lanka, set to take place today at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. While the Indian team’s performance in the first match was impressive, Jaffer’s warning serves as a reminder that they will need to address this potential weakness if they hope to maintain their dominance in the series.

    His warning highlights the importance of India’s lower-order batting and their need for players who can score runs in the later overs of the innings. It will be interesting to see how the Indian team responds to this warning. It will be interesting to see if they can address this potential weakness in their batting lineup during the remainder of the series.

    Mohammed Shami uploads a new pic with his car, ICT fans remind him of Rishabh Pant’s accident

    India’s premier fast bowler, Mohammed Shami, recently posted a picture on social media of his newly acquired Jaguar car. However, his post received mixed reactions from fans. While many congratulated him on the purchase, others reminded him to be cautious on the road, citing the recent accident involving Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant.

    Due to fitness concerns, Indian bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the tour. This puts additional responsibilities on the shoulders of Shami and other young seamers. The Indian cricket team has a packed schedule for the upcoming year, including the World Test Championship, Asia Cup, and the ODI World Cup.

    In his latest post, Shami wrote, “Some journeys need no roads, only willing hearts.” Fans reacted positively to the post but also reminded him to drive carefully, citing Rishabh Pant’s accident. Pant, who suffered a fatal car crash while returning home for New Year, recently underwent successful surgery for a severe ligament tear in his knee but is most likely to miss the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy, IPL, Asia Cup, and ODI World Cup.

    Fans were quick to remind Shami of the tragic incident involving Rishabh Pant, where he had a car accident. This brought up the concern about safety for cricketers, who are often seen in fast cars or luxury vehicles. Many urged them to drive safely and be cautious so that such incidents can be avoided in the future.

  • Inzamam-Ul-Haq vs Rahul Dravid has sparked fierce debate among cricket fans on social media

    Inzamam-Ul-Haq vs Rahul Dravid has sparked fierce debate among cricket fans on social media

    Pakistan pacer Wahab Riaz has caused a stir among Indian cricket fans by stating that former Pakistan player Inzamam-Ul-Haq was a better player than former Indian player Rahul Dravid. In a YouTube interview with CricBridge, Riaz claimed that Inzamam was an “all-format player” and “way ahead” of Dravid.

    Indian fans were quick to defend Dravid, with many taking to Twitter to compare the players’ stats and highlight Dravid’s various abilities on the field.

    One argument in favor of Dravid is his impressive Test match record. Dravid is widely considered one of the greatest Test batsmen of all time, having accumulated over 13,000 runs in the format at an average of 52.31. He is also one of only 12 players to score over 10,000 runs in both Test and ODI cricket. In contrast, Inzamam has scored just over 8,500 runs in Test cricket at an average of 49.53, and over 11,500 runs in ODIs at an average of 39.53.

    https://twitter.com/Cricketishot/status/1610776245549281280

    Others praised Dravid’s technical proficiency and his ability to perform under pressure. Another factor that has been cited in favor of Dravid is his ability to adapt to different conditions. Dravid scored heavily in all parts of the world, including Australia and South Africa, which are traditionally challenging environments for batter. He also had a strong record against top-quality fast-bowling attacks, scoring heavily against the likes of Glenn McGrath, Shoaib Akhtar, and Allan Donald.

    It is worth noting that both Inzamam and Dravid are widely regarded as two of the finest batters of their generation. Inzamam, who played for Pakistan from 1991 to 2007, is widely remembered for his powerful hitting and his ability to score runs in all conditions. Dravid, who played for India from 1996 to 2012, was known for his technically sound batting and his ability to bat long innings. Both players are considered legends of the game.
