It’s a batsman’s game! 😎

Bidding war won’t end! 🥸

Cricketwallah A breezy 39 in a friendly fixture went in vain. I love the cricket writing of those days.

Once upon a time in Mumbai 🥸

Timely win for DC. Another defeat would have made their chances of making the play-offs remote. This win not only keeps this hope alive, but also imbues #IPL2024 with more suspense and drama. At this stage, want to risk naming 4 teams that will make the playoffs?

Dear friends
When you watch Maidaan please remember my friend Novy Kapadia, whose magnificent research on Syed Abdul Rahim is the best part of the venture. Also SS Hakim, son of the legendary Rahim.
Sadly the three key figures, Rahim saab, Hakim saab and Novy have left us..

DK’s swashbuckling knock has given RCB’s score late boost. Bowling hasn’t been their strong suit this season, but Faf will hope that his bowlers come good this time

Bumrah is the best bowler in the IPL. Probably the worl, currently. Skill, control, variations and how he mind-reads batsmen to plot their downfall puts him a notch above all others

Maxwell’s in a rut this season, RCB’s batting seriously hampered

RCB off to poor start. Kohli perishes to Bumrah after a series of wishy-washy, unproductive strokes. Will Jack is an early casualty too. RCB’s suspect batting under big pressure. With Green not in the playing XI, faf and Maxwell have to do some heavy lifting.

Finally I found a portrait of a Mughal emperor, Jahangir in this case celebrating Eid from 1615-1625
And even tho its Eid uz Zuha not Eid ul Fitr I am happy to discover this.
I have mostly seen Mughal emperors celebrating Holi & a few miniatures of prince/princesses celebrating…

Gujarat win last ball thriller, but Boult, who had bowled 2 overs for just 8 runs, ignored at the ‘death’ by Samson. Himalayan blunder!

I’ve lost count of number of catches GT have dropped today

In Mumbai, Eid will be celebrated tomorrow. Working out the menu now!
