Anything is possible under GG.

I think they are best Asian team when it comes to spin department, both with bat and ball. India since retirement of Sehwag has been abysmal.

Everyone seems to be his friend, and no one is really his enemy. The guy makes friends wherever he goes lol he’s a very smooth operator. I think he’s a power broker whom most people seriously underestimate. He’s probably more experienced and politically connected than almost anyone else in Indian politics & he has always managed to stay close to whoever happens to be in power. Since I was a kid, Ihave seen him everywhere, politics, bollywood, cricket. He seems to have connections in every circle. And it’s not just among Indian celebrities, he’s remarkably well-connected and charming at the international level too. There’s something about him that allows him to move comfortably between completely different worlds. Some people are just gifted at this. Epstein, too was apparently extremely charming and socially adept by all accounts. I think it’s a big club and we’re not in it.

Yup they corrupted the minds of society, they fully back European Muslim invasion too.

In US it's even higher, some of them have 18 kids.

Rajiv Shukla - when did Yahoodis (Jews) become our poorvaj and baapu? When did Israel become our fatherland, and Jews become our ancestors?

Do NOT watch if animal abuse outrages you. These settlers don’t even spare cats and goats (around the 15:00 mark). I’ve noticed that many people on this forum are pro-Zionist, so I’m curious how they’ll respond to this.

I was thinking about how different Gen Z seems compared to older generations in the Indian subcontinent. Growing up, a lot of people from previous generations seemed to put a lot of importance on things like caste, skin colour, religion, and family background. But with Gen Z, it feels like many people care more about someone's personality, interests, values, and compatibility. Social media, globalization, and people mixing more through school, work, and online spaces probably played a big role in this. A lot of younger people seem less interested in old social divisions. Of course, these things haven't completely disappeared. Family expectations and traditions are still strong in many places, especially when it comes to marriage. But do you think Gen Z is the first generation in the subcontinent that is genuinely moving past these old boundaries? Or is this only true for certain groups, like urban youth, while things remain mostly the same elsewhere? Would be interesting to hear people's experiences.

This lady is nuts. She got outraged over someone doing the most ordinary, polite thing imaginable.

Ravi Ashwin - When Rohit is willing to fight and score runs, you can't just ask him to leave. https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricket-videos/r-ashwin-can-t-just-ask-rohit-sharma-to-leave-1547300

I think there is a strong tendency toward community-based hiring in some places in Canada. I have seen several personal examples, a Gujarati manager at my neighbourhood Walmart who appeared to primarily hire Gujaratis, a Punjabi manager at Tim Hortons who mostly hired Punjabis and a Telugu manager at another chain who seemed to favour people from his own community. These are only my personal observations but they have contributed to that impression. When I came to Canada a decade ago, many of these entry-level jobs were commonly held by Canadian youth, some as young as 15. Today, outside of places like Starbucks, it feels like much of the retail and fast-food workforce has shifted toward Indian workers in the 20–40 age range.

Iyer should be India's ODI captain as well. Based on merit, he has earned the role. As for Gill, I don't think he has done enough at the international level to justify an automatic place in the ODI XI.

Argentina were a disgrace.

Bumrah goes missing whenever there's an important match for India, yet somehow manages to play an entire IPL season. The workload management logic just doesn't add up. And over the last three years, it often feels like he's been stat-padding in low-pressure games rather than delivering when it matters most.

Don't throw punches when a man is down. Rohit has given Indian fans so much joy over the years and deserves respect for that. I know Samson is the flavour of the month, but that shouldn't come at the cost of tearing Rohit down. If you want to assign blame, question the selectors for not pushing him to retire after the CT win, or the coach if he's using players as scapegoats to deflect criticism. Rohit didn't cause the entire batting collapse. Yes, it's time for him to move on. But there's a way to say that, with humility and gratitude for everything he's has done for Indian cricket.
