#Best Indian cricket player

[cricketbazaar]

Neither Rohit nor Virat but this player is The Best Indian cricket player

There have been many great players produced in the history of the Indian cricket Team i.e Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev, Sachin Tendulkar, Anil Kumble, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly, Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, Mohammed Shami, Rohit Sharma. In the Modern Era, Jasprit Bumrah, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill are one of them. But if we talk about The Best Indian cricket player, There are so many players who can easily become part of that list But according to stats in all departments, no one is better than Sachin Tendulkar.

Sachin Tendulkar played 24 years for his Nation. He made his debut for India in 1989 against Pakistan while he played his last international match in 2013. He scored 34357 International Runs including 100 hundreds across all formats. He is the first player of the planet who hits a double hundred in ODI Cricket. Apart from that he also takes 201 international wickets. He Played six 50 Over World Cup and 4 Champions Trophy. The Man whose fans cover thousands of miles to just watch him. Because of him, Modern Era Great Virat Kohli, World Champion captain MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma and many other players started playing cricket. Not only India, world cricket's greatest batsman Kane Williamson also started his cricket career by watching Sachin Tendulkar. Apart from this, there are many players around the world who got inspired by this great player.

Sachin Tendulkar scored 15921 Test Runs including 51 hundreds and 68 fifties. He Scored 18426 Runs including 49 hundreds and 96 fifties. He also played a T20I Match against South Africa where he scored 10 runs and also got a wicket of Justin Kemp. Even His Bowling Figures is also incredible where he got 154 ODI Wickets,46 Test Wickets & a Wicket in T20I. Very Few People know but he was also a Great Fielder. Where he takes 256 international catches.   

He did everything to clinch the World Cup but in the first 5 World Cups he failed. But a phone call from Viv Richards changed his life. If Richards had not suggested that he play one more World Cup, Sachin's dream of winning the World Cup would never have been fulfilled. Apart from international cricket, Sachin also played 861 domestic Matches including List A and First class Where he scored 47395 Runs. He has 141 hundreds and 230 50+ scores in domestic Cricket. He has 272 Domestic Wickets to his name. In 2013, he played his last international match against West Indies at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The Indian Cricket fans were literally sad for him. All the fans gave thanks to Sachin for his contribution to Indian cricket. After 12 years of his retirement, there are many records which belong to only him.

Pub Rivalry ☽｡⋆

Prompts: 24. “I could pick you out from a room full of thousands of people.” + 81. subtle protection

masterlist ☾☼

The pub was buzzing with energy, full of excited chatter and clinking glasses. A bunch of cricket fans had all gathered to watch the super-hyped match between India and Australia. You and Oscar had managed to score a table near the front, the best seats in the house—well, for those who actually cared about cricket.

Oscar was already in his Australian jersey, scanning the crowd as he spoke with a half-smirk on his face. "I can't believe we're doing this," he said, his tone amused, though his eyes remained glued to the screen. "You're gonna lose today, I just know it."

You laughed. "Oh, please. India's got this in the bag. You guys are just pretending to be competitive.

He raised an eyebrow, smirking. "Pretending? You do know that Australia has one of the world's best cricket teams, don't you?"

You leaned in, your voice dripping with mock sympathy. "Well, someone has to support the underdogs."

Oscar laughed softly, clearly not fazed by your banter. "You're lucky I love you. Or else I'd be taking this way too seriously."

"Oh, I know. I could pick you out from a room full of thousands of people because you'd be the one sulking when India wins."

Oscar shot you a look. "You know that doesn't work on me anymore."

The match started, and the pub fell into a hushed silence as everyone focused on the screen. You and Oscar sat side by side, as was your wont, exchanging light jabs between sips of beer.

Australia's first over was quick and aggressive, and Oscar couldn't help but beam every time one of the Australian players made a good play. You, on the other hand, were practically bouncing in your seat every time India made a run. It was a sight to behold—your intense concentration and exaggerated cheers for every boundary.

This is it! This is the over!" you yelled, practically standing on your seat when an Indian player took a powerful swing. Oscar rolled his eyes, but there was a fondness in his smile as he glanced at you.

"You're impossible," he muttered, chuckling to himself.

And finally, after a few tense overs, you excused yourself to the bathroom. "Be right back! Don't get too cocky while I'm gone," you warned Oscar.

Oscar just waved you off, grinning. "Of course, of course. Hurry along; you don't want to be missed during the inevitable collapse of your own side!"

You flipped him off behind your back, and smiled when you heard his laughter.

The moment you vanished from view, Oscar turned back to the game, completely focused on the match. However, after a few minutes, he began to notice something: the crowd seemed different. People were shifting around, voices getting louder, but no sign of you. He looked around. No sign of your bright, beaming smile, no sign of your dramatic, loud cheers.

His eyes narrowed.

You had been away for merely a few minutes, yet Oscar didn't like that. There was a mild knot in his stomach as he pushed his way through the crowd, his eyes scanning to find you.

Meanwhile, you'd become sidetracked by a scene of some Australians celebrating the wicket of an Australian when you didn't even notice it until you'd meandered over there joining in on the celebration. You were pushing through the crowd when your foot caught onto something-a stray chair leg-and suddenly, everything was tipping to one side.

"Oh, no—" you mumbled to yourself as you went tumbling forward, your arms flailing wildly as your drink went flying out of your hand.

Before you could hit the ground, you felt a pair of strong arms catch you, pulling you back up with a swiftness that made you blink in surprise.

"Careful there," Oscar's voice was low, full of both amusement and concern as he steadied you, his hands on your shoulders.

You looked up at him, your heart racing a little from the sudden stumble. "I—uh—I might've gotten distracted, just a little," you stammered, your face flushing in embarrassment. "And now my drink is definitely gone."

Oscar let out a small laugh, a playful glint in his eyes. "I see. Distracted by the crowd, were you?

You groaned, smoothing your clothes. "Totally. I was just trying to enjoy the match, and then—well, here we are."

Oscar shook his head fondly, his expression softening. "Well, I could have told you that the pub floor isn't a good place to practice your cricket swings." He gave you a little nudge, making sure you were steady on your feet.

"Hey!" you shot him a playful glare. "I didn't need you to be my personal bodyguard, okay? I'm perfectly capable of not falling flat on my face."

Oscar's smile softened. His voice dropped a little lower, filled with an affectionate warmth. "I'm just looking out for you," he said, his hand brushing your cheek as if reassuring you that he wasn't letting you out of his sight. "You're clumsy, but I've got you, always."

It made your heart skip a beat to listen to him speak, always making you feel safe even when you were being the clumsy self that you mostly were.

"Well, I wasn't planning on a somersault. But thanks for catching me," you said, a little softer now.

"No problem," Oscar said, and his grin was back on his face. "Just keeping my beautiful girlfriend from public humiliation." His words were laced with that teasing tone, but behind it was something protective. It warmed your heart.

You rolled your eyes, but secretly you were grateful. "I swear, you're the only person who's actually prepared for my clumsiness."

"Well, it's not a bad thing," he said with a sly smile, brushing a lock of hair away from your face. "Keeps life interesting."

Before you could react, a deafening cheer went through the crowd—India hit a six, and you couldn't help but spring to your feet, forgetting all about the embarrassing fall you had made some minutes ago. Oscar retreated, but his hand reached up to the small of your back, urging you along as you leapt around with excitement, not letting you fall again. It was such a simple, protective gesture, but it made your heart flutter.

The match was nearing its end, and the banter between you two was endless. Even if you were supporting different teams, there was something playful about the competition that just made everything a little funnier.

"Well, at least you're not completely useless when it comes to cricket," Oscar teased, as you cheered another Indian run in. "But I still don't think they are going to win. Australia's just better.

You shot him a teasing grin, tapping your fingers on the table. "We'll see, Piastri. We'll see. Just remember, even if India loses, I'll still be able to claim victory in this pub rivalry."

Oscar smiled, his eyes softening as he watched you, the warmth between you two undeniable. "You really think that's how this works, don't you?

"I know you think you can win everything, but sometimes, it's not about who wins the match," you said, grinning. "It's about who can outlast the other in teasing and banter."

Oscar gave you a sidelong glance, his tone more playful than ever, but his voice dropped lower, his gaze softening. "Well, lucky for you, I'm good at both. But when you trip again, I'll be right here—ready to protect you from another graceful tumble." His fingers intertwined with yours, reminding you that he was always there.

You grinned back at him, shaking your head. "Let's just hope my cricket team doesn't disappoint before I do."

Oscar's eyes softened, his hand finding yours and giving it a gentle squeeze. "Don't worry. You'll always be the winner to me—clumsy or not."

The match ended, with Australia securing the victory, but it didn't matter to you. The real prize was how comfortable and loved you felt next to Oscar.

As you both stood up to leave, the crowd still celebrating the match's conclusion, you turned to Oscar with a grin.

"Alright, Piastri. You won this round," you said with mock reluctance, knowing full well that your playful rivalry wasn't ending here.

Oscar pulled you into a quick, warm hug; his arms wrapped around you protectively. "Don't worry, I'll let you win next time. But only if you promise not to fall over in public again."

You smiled, wrapping your arms around him, your voice soft as you replied, "Only if you promise to be there to catch me.

Oscar’s smile softened, and he kissed the top of your head. “I’ll always be here. To catch you. and to win the next round of cricket, obviously.”

You looked up at him, your heart swelling with affection. “You’ve got a deal, Piastri.”

The playful banter and rivalry were still alive but, in this moment, it was clear—there was nothing you'd rather do than share these little, perfect moments with him. And as long as he was by your side, even if you tripped and fell a hundred more times, you'd always feel like a winner.

Fic snippet, Charles backstory : "At least twice a year Charles and his mum packed their cases and caught a train to Birmingham to visit relatives, leaving his dad behind with a freezer full of carefully labelled Tupperware."

Note: Canon-typical mentions of abuse. Use of a racial term now understood as offensive.

Charles’ mum never tried to leave his dad. Not when he smashed her Ashe Bhosle records. Not when his dad used a belt on Charles for the first time. Not even when a neighbour called the police after hearing an argument through the walls (is it an argument if there’s only one voice shouting? His mum had learned to hold her tongue and at thirteen Charles knew how to brace for a blow). The WPC turned up at the door the day after, asked Charles’ mother questions in an even voice, and left alone after finishing the tea his Mum served on their best bone china.

But at least twice a year she and Charles packed their cases and caught a train to Birmingham, leaving his dad behind with a freezer full of carefully labelled Tupperware.

---

His auntie’s home in Birmingham was packed and lively. His auntie, uncle and his two cousins, Priti and Hari, all in an end of terrace house. There was a constant hum of noise there– Hari playing ska records on his record player from his bedroom; the clatter of pots and pans from the kitchen where his mum and auntie would congregate; the stamp of Priti’s feet up and down the stairs as she rushed around getting ready to meet friends.

His mother had a voice in her sister’s house. Charles woke to the sound of her and his auntie talking each morning. She called Charles beta here. At home he only remembers her calling him that once. Charles had been very small and full of chicken pox. His mum had sat on the floor next to his bed to stop him scratching, her hand smoothing though his sweat-soaked hair. She’d sang to Charles to lull him to sleep. In Birmingham, she sang every day.

---

When Charles grew enough not to be a complete liability on the cricket pitch, Hari took him along to play with his friends.

“I’ve got a friend like you who’ll be there. Aidan,” Hari said as they cut through the back streets to the playing fields.

Aidan wasn’t like Charles in appearance or manner. He was broad chested, with dark, tightly curled hair that showed a reddish tint when the sun hit it. He cuffed his trousers like Hari did, and his Docs were brightly shined. His short-sleeved shirt was a maroon and white check, his braces thin and black. He looked sharp. He wasn’t like Charles at all, except that he was half-caste too.

“Jamaican dad, Irish mum,” Aidan said, offhand, when they were introduced. “Saves you asking later. Hari always get it the wrong way round.”

“Indian mum, English dad.” Charles replied, and then tagged on, “I’m Charles.” Aidan smiled then, like they’d just shared a joke.

“He can be on my team,” Aidan told Hari, and grabbed Charles’ shoulder to guide him to where there was a gap in the team’s fielding cover.

As Hari walked over to the other team by the stumps he shouted, “Don’t show me up,” to Charles’ back.

“He says that like he’s any cop himself,” Aidan muttered into Charles’ ear, and told him the story of Hari falling into the wicket just the week before.

At the end of that week Charles left with a ska mixtape from Aidan, and two Fred Perry polos that Hari had outgrown.

---

At 15, his older cousin, Priti, snuck Charles out with her to a daytimer.

In the queue, Priti swiped and smudged kohl under Charles’ eyes. “Gotta hide that baby face,” she said and pinched his cheeks. She made him promise, yet again, that he’d keep his gob shut about the daytimer from his mum, her parents and most especially Hari. “He’s such a grass,” Priti said. He could already hear the hum of music leaking out from inside the converted warehouse.

He let out a huff of breath when they got past the bouncer and the ticket table, and Priti laughed. “If your parents could see you, such a naughty boy!”

Priti’s friends ran to meet her and pulled her onto the dancefloor to dance in a swirl of long hair and fruity body mist. Charles waved off their beckoning hands and watched the dancefloor heave with bodies. The music was a strange mix of familiar and unfamiliar: bouncing synths with Indian strings overlaid, all underpinned by the shifting rhythms of dhol drums. The vocals singing over the top sounded joyful and yearning by turns.

By the end of the afternoon, Charles had joined Priti and her friends on the dancefloor where they taught him dance moves, taking the piss at every misstep he made, but cheering him on when a girl asked him to dance with her.

When Charles broke away to visit the loos he looked at himself in the mirror. His curly hair was frizzy with sweat, his eyes dark with the smudged kohl. He looked different. He didn’t look tougher, or more like his cousins. But maybe, sweaty and happy with his eyes traced in eyeliner, he looked more like himself.

On the way home, Priti sent Charles into the chippy with a fiver while she changed and scrubbed off her make up in the public toilets. They unwrapped the newspaper when she finally emerged and walked slowly back to the house, eating. The vinegar the chips were doused in stung Charles’ sinuses. At the top of the street, Priti stopped and rubbed a screwed-up hanky across Charles’ cheek. “I’m not explaining how you got that lipstick on you,” she said.

She left the kohl alone.

---

Charles says the food he misses is spaghetti. But sometimes he thinks about the smell of vinegar rising from fish and chips and being fed dhal on a roti by kind hands.

---

(Notes: I chose Birmingham as the home of Charles’ relatives as it’s a multicultural city with an established East Asian population. It was also a hub for the English ska scene.

Ashe Bhosle – famous playback singer for Bollywood movies.

WPC – woman police constable

Daytimer – a rave that played bhangra music. Held during the daytime so that British South Asian kids could go without parental knowledge.)

I will absolutely come for anyone blaming our players now. Our men in blue have given their best this year and deserve the whole damn world.

They've made their mistakes in the final, I absolutely agree. But they were nervous, a whole lot more than any of us were. And yet, they tried. They were persistent and didn't just give up like some of you have been saying. And they are just as, or even more heartbroken as we are right now.

Our Indian Cricket Team played so well throughout the tournament and have given us so many beautiful memories in the past couple of months. The team bonding has been so wonderful. I will cherish all those memories for a lifetime despite the heartbreak today. This world cup and this specific team will be my favourite for a long time and I will love it forever. It was a special world cup for a lot of people.

Thank you Team India for everything. We are still so proud of you.

Sincerely, A forever ICT fan.

Thoughts on Ishan :

(and ict in general)

1. When he opted out of India's test squad before our series with S. Africa....I knew... I KNEW it will be a long time before we'll get to see him playing for India again.

And then few weeks later Rahul Dravid said in a press conference... He can come back... Just play domestic.... My heart sank.

Here's the thing, I don't blame him at all for taking a break due to mental fatigue.

I fully support his decision as well. He prioritised himself and that's good.

But my dude... If I was your friend, if I was there with you... I wouldn't have let you go.

I would have grabbed his trousers and refused to let go. This is team India. You take one step back and 10 other people are standing right behind you ready to take your place.

Shubhman gill was hyped up so much... Remember his 126 in 63 balls against New Zealand?

But he faltered.

And Today he's in reserve.

Jaiswal is going to be our new opener in all 3 formats very soon. And there's nothing wrong with that. The guy earned it.

Ishan left the South Africa Series and a month later during the india Vs England test Series Jurel was picked and he did an excellent job.

Now imagine... Imagine if Ishan was there instead... If ishan had scored those 90 runs.....he would have made his place permanent.

I'll repeat myself.... I don't blame him for leaving... But he should have thought this through. Especially when a guy like Rahul Dravid is your coach.

(he's the same guy who gave declaration during a test match when Sachin Tendulkar was about to score a century. He's not as innocent as he looks.)

Another thing which really hurts me is how so many people complain about him being benched and then dropped but Yaar....there are tons of players who have gone through this.

Even Ashwin was benched. He said in an interview that when his team would win he wouldn't even feel like going in the ground to congratulate them coz of how hurt he felt.

It happens.

.

.

.

Anyways My overall opinion on this drama is :

1. I support him for leaving.

2. But I hate that he left.

3. A block of ice would be a better coach than Rahul Dravid.

Anyways... Jo hogaya so hogaya.

What I want now is for him to focus on his future.

And He can start by leaving Mumbai Indians.

MI was the team who would pick young players, groom and invest in them and make them capable enough for team India.

The MI we have seen this year is no longer that team. It doesn't matter how many reels their insta page puts out, the atmosphere of that team is tense, awkward and a hot mess.

If Mumbai really cared about a future captain as they claimed.... They should have made Ishan their new captain...like how csk and gt did with ruturaj and gill.

But oh well.

Right now... The best he can do is keep himself fit, play domestic and leave MI at THE EARLIEST.

That team, it's atmosphere, the mismanagement and inner conflicts (believe me, they exist) will not help him at all.

Imo, he doesn't need a team to grow. He has developed a good skill set. What he needs now is a stage.

A team like Kkr, RR or Gt will be great for that because these teams don't drop Their players after 1 or 2 matches... Have good coaches, stable environment and a good atmosphere overall.

Ishan is an excellent wicket keeper + batsman and the type of cricket he plays is best suited for t20 format (one day and test also but especially t20).

Whether we win or lose this t20 world cup... This one is the last one for our senior players.

After that, our youngsters will take charge (at least they should).

Yashasvi and Abhishek should be our openers.

Gill, rutu and Riyan would perfect be for middle order.

Ishan, with his explosive batting style, would be the perfect finisher.

Also... This dumb culture of batters not learning bowling (encouraged by this stupid impact rule) that has developed in the Indian team needs to STOP.

Look at Australia and New Zealand's t20 squad. Look at how many all rounders they have.

Look at ours. We won the 2007 cup because of all rounders as well.

Also... We cage our players. We hold them back. A player like Travis head is playing with such ferocity because his style and mindset is supported by his captain, his team and his media.

Meanwhile... If an Indian player attempts to do the same and doesn't make a big score in 2 -3 matches... He'll be benched instantly.

Another thing... If we look up the stats of our players in this year's t20 wc squad...

Except virat, Bumrah and maybe kuldeep ...everyone else is on ram bharose.

When players like n. reddy, ishan, rutu, gill, Riyan, natrajan... will be groomed and given enough opportunities....their aggressive style will be supported instead of criticized.... that's when we will win trophies.

Who is the Cricket World's Best Player?

The question of who is the greatest cricketer of all time has been a perennial debate among fans and pundits alike. While the answer is often subjective and influenced by personal biases, there are several players who have consistently dominated the sport and made a strong case for the title. Let's explore some of the contenders and the factors that contribute to their greatness.

The Modern Era Dominators: Kohli, Smith, and Kane Williamson

The past decade has witnessed the rise of three exceptional talents who have redefined the standards of batting. Virat Kohli, Steve Smith, and Kane Williamson have consistently produced match-winning performances across all formats, solidifying their status as the modern era's premier batsmen.

♯1. Virat Kohli: The Indian captain's aggressive style, impeccable timing, and ability to adapt to different conditions have made him a nightmare for bowlers. His record-breaking centuries and his leadership qualities have cemented his place among the all-time greats.

♯2. Steve Smith: The Australian's unorthodox technique and his ability to score runs at will have made him a force to be reckoned with. Smith's consistency and his ability to perform under pressure have earned him widespread admiration.

♯3. Kane Williamson: The New Zealand captain's elegant strokeplay and his calm demeanor have made him a joy to watch. Williamson's ability to anchor the innings and his match-winning performances have solidified his reputation as one of the best batsmen in the world.

What is worse- Santner going unsold or Santner in MI?

Also Chahar 😭😭😭

Did we (CSK) get good bowlers????? Yes

But am I still pissed about Chahar??? Also yes

He could have gone to any other team it would have been fine but going to MI is the worse thing ever😭😭😭😭😭

The only blue I want him to see him is Indian Blue 😭😭😭

Also Deshpande 😭😭😭😭 He was not that good be he was ours

Can you tell I am emotionally attached to all CSK players???

Dude I don't know, I miss Santa, our part time cricketer and full time golfer 🥹🥹🥹 somehow him going into MI just makes it worse but I couldn't bear if he went unsold that's a different kind of hurt (but still MI?!??!) Like he never got enough chances and yet always gave his best whenever he got the opportunity, he'll always be yellove 💛💛💛

And just don't get me started on Cherry 😭😭😭 he looked so sad like it physically hurted to see him like that but we couldn't do anything. CSK had only 13 cr in purse and still went upto 9 cr for him, just shows how badly we wanted him. Like many people say that he's average or whatnot, ok alright if somehow I agree that he's average (which I don't) he's still OUR average. All those posts by Jaya and Malti god I'm crying... who'll get scolded by Mahi on field, who'll come and take important wickets in powerplay, who will be the merry cherry in the team????!

Also I just can't imagine Chahar bowling against Rutu or worse Mahi at Wankhede and getting their wickets (100x worse if he celebrates tge wickets with the Mumbai crowd cz now that's his team). If CSK wins the title this year, it'll be the first one since 2018 (when I started supportive them) where Cherry's not in the squad. But no matter the team he'll always be our boy 💗

Brooo I'm also so emotionally attached with all these people, and for Deshpande (and Shardul, Moeen, Theeks, etc) as I said - they're average but they're OUR average 🥹 it's like losing Faf but 10x worse, this auction is very bittersweet with all the loses and reunions... Hopefully we'll come to love this team as much and hopefully we'll lift the trophy yet again this time 💛

The main varieties of cricket

First-class cricket, known as Test cricket when played on the international level: This is the two-innings each, up to five days version, that's the longest form of the game. This is one you take a holiday to go watch.

One-day cricket: The match lasts a single day (up to eight hours), with 40 to 60 overs for each side, just one innings each.

Twenty20: Cricket for the YouTube generation and the variety which has really saved the sport. 20 overs each and just a ten-minute break after the first inning is over. Takes two and a half hours each. A much faster-paced game, its best-known competition is the Indian Premier League, which attracts players from all over the world.

WPL 2024: Lot Hard Work Behind The Scenes Has Gone Into This , Says Mandhana After RCB Qualify For Playoffs

After Royal Challengers Bangalore: After Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) qualified for 2024 WPL playoffs with a seven-wicket win over Mumbai Indians, captain Smriti Mandhana revealed that getting into the knockouts is the result of lots of thoughts and hard work put in behind the scenes. RCB had failed to qualify for knockouts in WPL 2023 and in 2024, they managed to get into the business end of the competition. "We couldn't step up and play the cricket we wanted to play (last year). But in, last one year, a lot of thoughts have gone into this. A lot of hard work behind the scenes, not only from my side but all the support staff, and the RCB management. For them to show their faith in all of us was just amazing. "You know, the only conversation they had was that 'this is your team, make it the way you want to'. So that was really nice from their side to do that. I wouldn't say that (this has been a) really satisfying campaign still, but we had a lot of ups and downs. We started off really well and then had a little bit of dip. But that's how WPL and T20 cricket is. You'll have good days and bad days," said Smriti after the match. RCB could have entered the knockouts if they didn’t suffer the one-run defeat to Delhi Capitals on Sunday, but rectified that missed opportunity by bowling out Mumbai Indians for 113, thanks to Ellyse Perry’s sensational 6-15 and making an unbeaten 40 with the bat to complete the chase with five overs remaining. "We always knew that out of the two if we win any - even (in) that one-run (loss) game - we would have made the knockouts. So, we are not looking at what other teams are doing or what's happening, what's the equation, the net run rate etc because that can sometimes really take away the cricket. "We talked about 'let's treat it as a quarterfinal, a semifinal and then the final, and not make it too complicated. Let's go out there and play the best cricket we can', and that's what we've tried to do," added Smriti. She also acknowledged the role played by the RCB support staff led by head coach Luke Williams. "We didn't really complicate it a lot. We just spoke on things which went away in the Delhi match and things that didn't go our way. We had decent chats and one-on-ones with a lot of the players, including Luke." "He's been just amazing just handling the whole group and their emotions. Especially I think with RCB and the kind of fan base (it has), it's not an easy thing to come in in your first year and be able to do that. As Indians we are used to it, but for someone from coming outside to do that, I think he's just done an amazing job. Even the support staff I think they have been brilliant," she concluded.

I'd argue that Virat's fanbase would be equally sizeable in Omegaverse, but whether it would be so rabid and toxic is an interesting question.

So irl,so much of Kohli's popularity and hero worship is a result of social media. Virat happened to debut and rise through the ranks in an era when the digital revolution was sweeping through India, and the country was becoming more modern, more developed, more involved than previously in international arenas. That is not to say that cricketers weren't hero worshipped in India before. They were. Sachin is a prime example of that, and he played in an era where social media was practically non-existent. But what social media has done is brought every aspect of players' personal lives and private moments into the public. Celebrities today, are arguably way more accessible than they were in the 90s. You didn't have much way of knowing what Sachin did in his off-time, of how he celebrated in his dressing room, etc. but Virat is constantly visible through his social media, we get constant updates on him online and that helps him stay relevant beyond his statistics. Sachin's hero worship stemmed purely from his cricketing success, and while his achievements are a big part of Virat's popularity, the latter part of his fame comes from a celebrity culture that social media helped establish. And it also helps that Virat is a very noticeable personality. He's got an aura about him. And honestly, I think he was India's first cricketer who really embraced the glamour that accompanies being a celebrity, especially in his younger days, and even if other players did it before him, there wasn't really a way for the public to know of it. Cricketers like Sachin and Dravid wanted to stay out of the limelight, but young Virat really wanted to be seen and noticed and appreciated. Another reason for his fame is that he does so many ads, endorses so many products and is brand ambassador for so many brands, that at least in India, he's everywhere, on every billboard. He's just a very marketable person. And he's so marketable because with the dawn of the digital era, cricket as a sport got commodified in a way it hadn't before, and became a thing to sell, and who was the demographic to cater to? India, obviously, and by extension, South Asia, because cricket is the most popular sport there and India is the most populous country in the world. So obviously the place with the most consumers is the one that is targeted. And who is the most famous cricketer in India? Virat is. Which is why he became the face of world cricket, and then a global celebrity like no other cricketer before or contemporary to him has.

Would he be this marketable in Omegaverse? I think yes. Ever since he was like 18/19, Virat was being hailed as Tendulkar's second coming, and with Sachin inevitably in his twilight years, that grabbed people's attention, because what people wanted then was a person onto whom they could transfer all the hopes and expectations they had up till now pinned on Sachin. Indian cricket fans have always worked in this way where out of 11 people in a team, they find one or two players, mostly the best performers, to latch onto and glorify and elevate. First it was Gavaskar, then Kapil Dev, then Sachin, then Dhoni and now Virat, also Rohit, probably Shubman or Yashasvi will succeed them. And obviously, Virat lived up to Sachin's legacy-- being prolific since his debut, accumulating runs, scoring centuries for fun, and bailing the team of tough spots. Especially from 2013-16/17, there were often times when Virat was the sole consistent performer, and single-handedly dragged us to wins. Even if he's an omega, it's going to be hard to deny or disregard the impact he has, when he's repeatedly proved it. Virat's social media marketability, his international fame, stems from his career achievements. He bagged so many endorsements and interviews and stuff because his skill was what got him famous in the first place. And other players did not get that hype because at that point, they weren't performing as well as Virat.

So I think Virat, in Omegaverse, even as an omega, will retain enough of his fame and fanbase. Maybe it'll take him a longer time to build up a fanbase like that than it did irl, but he definitely gets there. In the beginning of his career, I can see him being supported mostly by omegas, and some betas and a minor amount of alphas. And I think there'll be another class of alphas, who go to watch him play because he is hot. Like, irl, women's cricket has male fans who follow the sport only because they find a certain player hot. It translates to the men's game too. So many girls watch cricket because they find Virat or Shubman attractive. Virat's style and fashion choices are often imitated by teenagers and young men, who want to be like him.

Again, some really good points here, and you've got me thinking about the differences between VK and Tim as they both come into the sport as out omegas at the same time, but VK has much more fanfare around him whilst Tim kind of goes under the radar, teams only knowing there is an omega in the opposition squad because they have to be told.

And this now has me thinking why? Initially it was going to be the BCCI not wanting to miss out on being the first to play an omega, but actually I think this makes more sense stemming from VK. He hears about Tim (like Stuart does) and he makes the play for the BCCI to take the shot on him, that he can and will outperform alphas, that his secondary gender doesn't matter and he can help put the BCCI in the history books if they'll give him a chance.

Albeit an English-made game (I think) India very much believe it's their sport now and this, to me, adds to that. The BCCI are seen as the ones shifting the game, modernising it, all thanks to VK's persistence.

There's something here, I know it, just got to iron out the creases but there is definitely something here
