Is this allowed @ICC ? I remember Dhoni was asked to remove the Army insignia from his gloves during the World Cup 2019
Aren’t cricketers prohibited from making political and religious statements during ICC events?
This was for our brothers and sisters in Gaza. 🤲🏼
Happy to contribute in the win. Credits to the whole team and especially Abdullah Shafique and Hassan Ali for making it easier.
Extremely grateful to the people of Hyderabad for the amazing hospitality and support throughout.

If Virat, Rohit, Pujara, Rahane would have batted on the ‘roads’ in Pakistan, they would have added 10 Test centuries each to their names
If Babar Azam got to bat on these flat Indian tracks he’d have 25 ODI hundreds by now! #INDvSL

The defeat and then this from Virat: “When I left Test captaincy, only 1 person messaged me - MS Dhoni. So many people have my phone number but only he texted me. If you want to give me suggestions give me one on one, no point saying things on TV.”

On racism: Do you remember how during the World Cup game @imVkohli coaxed the Indian crowd not to boo @stevesmith49 (on Sandpaper Gate) - Virat in fact gestured to the crowd to applaud Smith. Can’t Australian players do the same in Sydney? #SydneyTest #racism #IndvsAus #Siraj

For someone who wore India colours on his chest, who starred in 2 WC victories for the country, this has to be the worst allegation ever. Having known @GautamGambhir for close to 20 years now, his upbringing will never let him even think of all this.

Most of India’s premier batsmen bat in the top 3 for their respective IPL teams. And then some are moulded to bat at 4, 5, 6 for India where a different skill set is required. Know now the value of Yuvraj, Raina and Dhoni - they rarely let the team down #INDvsSA

Babar Azam may not be the best in the world but he’s Pakistan’s best bet this generation. The PCB seems to have decided on making him the sacrificial lamb, to take away any blame heading their own way.

Special thanks to @JayShah for taking the initiative and ‘rescuing’ stranded Indian media in Barbados. As a gesture, the 20-odd media contingent have been offered to fly out with the Indian team on the special chartered flight from Barbados to Delhi!
The special flight will take off In a few hours and land Delhi around 4-5 Thursday morning
