hey! I wanna ask one thing, did you watch the highlights of the India vs Pakistan match from the 2022 t20 world cup? considering Ind vs Pak is today, star sports was showing the highlights of the 2022 T20 again. So the 2022 match, held at Melbourne, is hands down one of the biggest nailbiters in cricket history, and features a famous rescue act by Virat Kohli. He top-scored with 82 not out in a chase of 160, which enabled us to win the match by 4 wickets. And we had got off to a horror start, we were something like 40/4 at a point, and we weren't even near to the required run rate. That was when Virat and Hardik combined for a vital partnership. I remember that match crystal clear, India needed 22 from 8 balls, Haris Rauf was bowling, and Virat hit him for two successive sixes. The first of those sixes was just sublime and like, unreal, and was officially voted the ICC shot of the century. Not the year, not the decade, the whole damn century. 🤯🤯🥹🥹

So I was thinking of how this match would happen in Omegaverse, or more specifically how it would help improve public reaction to omegas playing. With Virat open and out omega, and his six being voted as the ICC shot of the century, people would be kinder to the idea of omegas in cricket, wouldn't they? Also, in my headcanon, Hardik is also an omega-- a bit like Stu, he's in hiding, pretending to be an alpha, despite VK's debut, because BCCI made it pretty loud and clear that Virat was a special case, and other omegas shouldn't expect the same privileges extended to them. So Hardik, just like Stu, is taking pills to conceal his identity and like Stu, conforming to a hyper-alpha lifestyle he doesn't subscribe to, but follows for fear of letting himself out accidentally. But Hardik has also come out as omega by the time this iconic match happens. So imagine this now: your team is in major trouble, both your openers (kl Rahul and rohit in this case), are gone, Suryakumar Yadav, the number one ranked batter in t20s has gotten out, and Axar Patel, the sole left-hander in your lineup has gotten run out in a terrible mix-up. Who's left now? Virat and Hardik. Two omegas, who despite their achievements can't seem to earn the kind of respect and awe that playing alphas do. These two omegas end up stitching together a partnership that takes us over the line against our arch-rivals in an utter humdinger. Pure cinema. 🤌🏻

Aww I really like that - and yeah Stuart isn't an exception; there's quite a few players around the world posing as alphas when they're really omegas.

The opinion of omegas will be much better come 2022, but they'll probably be an undertone of 'two omegas can't get this over the line' when it goes down to it. I don't think it's like the turning point because, as I said, omegas are much more accepted and respected by this time, but it'll definitely have positive effects

BCCI’s Lollipop to the IOC - Turning Cricket into a Global Sport

Cricket, a sport with a staggering fan base of 2.5 billion people worldwide (According to Sport Pledge) is making significant strides towards Olympic inclusion. The International Cricket Council (ICC) has been actively pushing for cricket's inclusion in the Olympic Games, with the ambition to debut at the LA28 Games. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), led by Jay Shah, has played a pivotal role in this endeavor. The Sportwiz explores the journey of cricket towards becoming a global sport, driven by the aspirations of the ICC and the strategic efforts of the BCCI.

Cricket has been making notable appearances in various multi-sport events, such as the Birmingham Commonwealth Games in 2022 and the Asian Games in 2010, 2014, and the upcoming 2023 edition in Hangzhou, Even this years African Games hosted in Ghana will consist of cricket where it will be played in the T20 format. These inclusions highlight the growing recognition and acceptance of cricket as a global sport.

The question arises: Does the Olympics need cricket, or does cricket need the Olympics? Cricket's immense popularity, with a fan base of 2.5 billion people and its status as the second most-watched sport globally, demonstrates the sport's strength and appeal. However, Olympic inclusion would provide an unparalleled platform for cricket to reach new audiences and further boost its global recognition.

source - business today

The ICC's bid for Olympic inclusion emphasized the massive viewership cricket attracts. The 2022 T20 World Cup garnered a staggering 1.2 billion unique viewers globally. Additionally, the 2020 Women's World Cup saw 89 million viewers tuning in, showcasing the increasing popularity of women's cricket. These statistics exemplify cricket's potential as a major draw for broadcasters, sponsors, and fans alike.

India's significance as a cricket powerhouse cannot be overlooked. The country accounts for a substantial portion of cricket's global viewership, with 76% of the 113.5 million viewing hours recorded during major tournaments coming from India. The BCCI, backed by India's massive cricket market, has offered the International Olympic Committee (IOC) a chance to tap into this unique viewership, potentially elevating the Olympic Games' viewership in the Indian subcontinent.

The BCCI's main revenue stream, broadcasting rights, presents a compelling proposition for the IOC. Currently held by JIO and Viacom 18 for $31 million, these rights contribute to the ongoing profits of the Olympics. If cricket is included in the Olympics, the ICC estimates potential revenue of $130-260 million. These figures highlight the financial gains that could be achieved through cricket's Olympic participation.

The number $31 million USD is larger than the previous years in terms of Olympics in India but if we compare it to a similar number showcasing the money that’s involved in cricket, in the next financial cycle of the BCCI the Pakistan Cricket board ( PCB ) who hold a share of 5.75% is approximately valued at $34.5 million USD.

Cricket's economic value has witnessed a remarkable surge, as evidenced by the 300% increase in media rights value for ICC and IPL. The media rights for ICC and IPL soared from ₹16,347 crores to a staggering ₹48,390 crores. This exponential growth further solidifies cricket's position as a lucrative sporting asset.

source - Sportskeeda

With the Indian Premier League (IPL) now ranked as the second most valued sporting league globally, cricket's future looks promising. The IPL's substantial viewership of 380 million domestic TV viewers in the 2021 season and cumulative viewership of 383 billion minutes for the 2020 campaign across TV and digital platforms indicate cricket's enormous potential according to Jay Shah. As cricket continues to captivate audiences, its inclusion in the Olympics could propel the sport to new heights.

The bid to include cricket in the Olympics is anticipated to be decided in the final session of the IOC, scheduled to take place in Mumbai in October. Brisbane 2032 Olympics presents a realistic opportunity for cricket's inclusion, given Australia's cricketing heritage. Surprisingly, Los Angeles may also be a potential host, thanks to the approval of the bid by former Mayor Eric Garcetti, now the US Ambassador to India, fostering stronger relations between India and the USA.

Cricket's journey towards becoming a global sport is gaining momentum, with the ICC and BCCI leading the way. The sport's immense viewership, economic value, and potential for growth make it an attractive addition to the Olympic Games. As the IOC contemplates cricket's inclusion, the world awaits a decision that could redefine the sport and pave the way for a future where cricket becomes truly global.

Their support means the world to me, and I look forward to continuing to make them proud on and off the field,” commented Sunile Narine.   #2 Andre Russell tops the list of most interesting players to watch on the pitch Andre Russell topped the category of ‘Most interesting player to watch on the Pitch’ with 31% of fans’ votes.

He also recently made a cameo in a Tamil-language film, bringing him closer to fans in Chennai and Tamil Nadu, who lovingly refer to him as ‘Thala.’   #4 Bhuvneshwar Edges Rahane for Most Underrated Player

In a sea of players, certain names tend to be overlooked when the discussion centers on the most popular and eye-catching stars. From the fans' perspective, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Ajinkya Rahane stand out as the most underrated players, earning 18% and 16% of the votes, respectively.   Both athletes have been unsung heroes of their respective sides' victories in the IPL, and the stalwarts now find themselves in the fray of the mega auction after their teams opted to move on and retain a younger core of players.   #5 Jake Fraser-McGurk: Rising star for IPL 2025 IPL 2024 witnessed several young batters throw caution to the wind and redefine T20 batting, with multiple totals exceeding 265 runs. Among the rising stars, Abhishek Sharma, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Riyan Parag, Tilak Varma, and Tristan Stubbs stole the spotlight, showcasing their range of shots with impressive strike rates.   Fraser-McGurk edged out Rinku Singh by 1% to top the list of players in contention for the 'Next Season's Rising Star' title, securing 40% and 39% of fans' votes, respectively.

The Best All-Rounder In The World Right Now

The fundamental principles of sports include giving it your all, pushing yourself to become a better version of yourself, and continuously cheering your team on to success. In cricket, in particular, scoring runs is equally as important as defending a cricket score. On a good day, a bowler may devastate the opposition's batting lineup with a single stroke, while a batsman can overwhelm the bowling assault and record a massive total. To change the course of the game, a talented fielder may also unpredictably induce a runout or make an amazing catch. On the other hand, a great cricket all-rounder who can do all duties to the highest quality is created when you combine the abilities of a fielder, bowler, and batter. In cricket, a player who always gives the team their best effort is known as an all-rounder. An all-around player is the best asset a team can have. Whether it's taking crucial wickets or scoring those crucial runs to aid the team in winning, an all-around cricket team's performance on the field is determined by the quality of its players.

Leading Candidates for the Best All-Rounder In The World Currently

These days, some of the most valued players in cricket are all-rounders who can play all three formats as a bowler and batsman. They are unquestionably the rarest treasures in contemporary cricket. Players that play all three game forms and perform a range of responsibilities in modern international cricket must take extreme efforts to stay physically fit and prolong their careers due to the rigorous schedule. Let's examine some of the top all-round players of our era right now.

Ben Stokes

Ben Stokes, one of the best all-rounders in the world right now, is the most useful player for England in all three formats of the game. When bowling, the 31-year-old may end crucial partnerships. He bats and bowls as well. He is also capable of batting against the world's top bowling combinations. The term "Clutch-Player" has been used to describe Ben Stokes, a player who comes through for the team when they need him the most. In the 2021 T20 World Cup Final, the 2019 Headingley Test match against Australia, and the 2019 Cricket World Cup Final, he pulled his team from sticky situations. His international career still has a long way to go, as the stalwart is showing no sign of slowing down.

Ravindra Jadeja

Although Ravindra Jadeja was previously referred to as a "bits and pieces player," he has consistently shown his critics and haters that he is capable of contributing to a squad without always being the star. He was the first Indian bowler to top the ICC ODI bowling rankings since Anil Kumble in 2013, and he became the fastest left-arm bowler to reach 200 Test wickets in 2019. Currently, the veteran is the best all rounder in the world when it comes to Test cricket. Together with Ravichandran Ashwin, Jadeja has established himself as one of the Test team's all-time best spin bowlers, chipping away at hitters with remarkable accuracy and consistency. He has also become a better hitter, as seen by his recent performances, especially in white-ball cricket.
