In the year of THE Paris Olympics, all you could think of is a T-20 championship. Sigh!

Huge win for India in terms of significance. For Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid it’s a massive win. The Virat batting effort in the first innings and Markram in the second showed you could bat on this wicket with real skill.

Needless to say Bumrah and Siraj stood up. How imp is…

Stunning win within 4.5 sessions on an atrocious wicket and the end of a successful S African tour.

  Dean Elgar, one of only 2 players in Test history to carry his bat 3 times, bows out in the shortest completed Test EVER. This really isn’t what he signed up for.
  
  There’ve been 4 longer individual innings, and one the same length, as this Test.#SAvIND🏏🇿🇦🇮🇳#WTC25

  I had went to see wrestling live at the Hartford Civic Center back in i think 1982. I was around 10 years old then. I still remember feeling depressed when i found out wrestling was fake, at around 12/13 years old. I was heart broken.

    Z – it’s fake but it’s man drama. I’ve followed it thoroughly from 90 to mid 00s. Bollywood could learn a lot from writing between 97-01.
    I hear Netflix has bought the rights from 2025 onwards. If they buy the archive and give it to subscribers I will definitely rewatch the 90s. Even the mid 80s rush though cheesy was decent. Anything from recent decade deserves no attention.

      It was an awesome drama. Keeping in mind that this was early 80s.
      
      Seeing Action like wrestling, which i had never seen in india. It was just an amazing. And it was drama, there was a story to it from one event to another.
      
      The 80s wrestling were more raw.
      
      Wrestling (WWF and the WWE) were actually invented/started from state that i landed in back in early 80s so wrestling was always very big on local TV.
      
      I have some great memories from the child hood in India and USA.
      
      Life from the lense of a child is something else.

From 0-1 down to winning the series 4-1 is a brilliant effort!

It’s easy to say ‘India are strong at home’. But with the injury & unavailability they’ve had, plus Eng’s style of play – it just shows how much strength in depth they have, as well as mental strength 🔥#INDvENG pic.twitter.com/nc6Ibjdoq2

Much better & improved performance by Pakistan Hockey this time around, remaining unbeaten throughout the tournament. Hockey India’s withdrawal due to the FIH Pro League obviously helped though 😉

Congrats to Team Japan, 2018 Asiad champions and 2022 finalists.. a good tournament overall for Asian Hockey
