एक ऐतिहासिक क्षण में, विराट कोहली ने सचिन तेंदुलकर के विश्व रिकॉर्ड को पार करते हुए एक उल्लेखनीय उपलब्धि हासिल की, अपनी 50वीं वनडे शतक हासिल की। यह ऐतिहासिक मील का पत्थर मुंबई के वानखेड़े स्टेडियम में क्रिकेट विश्व कप 2023 के सेमीफाइनल के दौरान हासिल किया गया था, जहां भारतीय क्रिकेट टीम के पूर्व कप्तान कोहली ने असाधारण फॉर्म का प्रदर्शन किया।
113 गेंदों पर नौ चौकों और दो छक्कों के साथ, उनकी शानदार पारी ने 117 रनों का एक शानदार स्कोर स्थापित किया, जिससे न केवल भारत को एक बड़े स्कोर तक पहुंचाया, बल्कि उन्होंने भी एक ऐतिहासिक मील का पत्थर पार किया।
इस मैच से पहले, कोहली और सचिन दोनों ही 49-49 शतकों पर बराबरी पर थे, और कोहली की उत्कृष्ट पारी ने अब उनका नाम क्रिकेट के इतिहास में अंकित कर दिया है। इसके अतिरिक्त, यह 2023 विश्व कप में कोहली का आठवां पचास से अधिक का स्कोर है, जो टूर्नामेंट के एक संस्करण में सबसे अधिक ऐसे स्कोर का नया रिकॉर्ड स्थापित करता है।
कोहली का 50वां वनडे शतक हासिल करने पर सचिन तेंदुलकर की ब��़ी प्रशंसा
उन्होंने ट्विटर (अब X) पर लिखा,
पहली बार जब मैंने आपसे मिला था भारतीय ड्रेसिंग रूम में, आपको दूसरे सहयोगियों ने मेरे पैरों को छूने के लिए प्रैंक किया था। उस दिन मैं हंसी को रोक नहीं सकता था। लेकिन शीघ्र ही, आपने अपने उत्साह और कौशल से मेरे दिल को छू लिया। मुझे खुशी है कि वह युवा लड़का एक ‘विराट’ खिलाड़ी बन गया है।
मुझे खुशी है कि एक भारतीय ने मेरा रिकॉर्ड तोड़ा है। और उसे सबसे बड़े मंच – विश्व कप सेमी-फाइनल – और मेरे घर के ग्राउंड पर यह करना, वह श्रृंगार का चेरा है।
विराट कोहली ने सचिन तेंदुलकर और शाकिब अल हसन को पीछे छोड़ दिया है, जिन्होंने क्रमशः टूर्नामेंट के 2003 और 2019 संस्करणों में सात बार 50 से अधिक स्कोर बनाए थे। 2019 संस्करण के दौरान, रोहित शर्मा और डेविड वार्नर दोनों ने छह मैचों में 50 से अधिक स्कोर दर्ज किए थे।
विराट कोहली अब अपनी रिकॉर्ड तोड़ने वाली पचासवीं वनडे शतकीय पारी खेलने के कगार पर हैं। यह एक ऐसा कारनामा होगा जो सचिन तेंदुलकर के 49 वनडे शतकों के रिकॉर्ड को तोड़ देगा। इसके अलावा, विराट कोहली विश्व कप के एक संस्करण में सबसे अधिक रन बनाने वाले भारतीय खिलाड़ी बन गए हैं।

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.

The All-Round Legends: Imran Khan, Kapil Dev, and Jacques Kallis
The all-rounders who have excelled in both batting and bowling have always been held in high regard. Imran Khan, Kapil Dev, and Jacques Kallis are among the most iconic all-rounders of all time.
♯1. Imran Khan: The former Pakistan captain's swing bowling and his classy batting made him a complete cricketer. His leadership qualities and his contributions to his country's success have earned him legendary status.
♯2. Kapil Dev: The Indian fast bowler's ability to swing the ball both ways and his useful batting made him a valuable asset to the team. His leadership in the 1983 World Cup-winning team cemented his place in Indian cricket history.
♯3. Jacques Kallis: The South African all-rounder's consistency and his ability to perform in all conditions have made him one of the greatest cricketers of his generation. His contributions with both bat and ball have been invaluable to his country.

The Timeless Greats: Don Bradman, Sachin Tendulkar, and West Indies Legends
While the modern era has produced some exceptional talents, there are a few players who have transcended generations and are considered among the greatest of all time. Don Bradman, Sachin Tendulkar, and the West Indies legends of the 1970s and 1980s are among the most revered names in cricket history.
♯1. Don Bradman: The Australian legend's batting average of 99.98 remains the highest in Test cricket history. His dominance over bowlers and his ability to score runs at will have made him a mythical figure in the sport.
♯2. Sachin Tendulkar: The Indian "Master Blaster" broke countless records during his illustrious career. His ability to adapt to different conditions and his consistency have made him one of the most beloved cricketers of all time.
♯3. West Indies Legends: The West Indies teams of the 1970s and 1980s boasted a formidable lineup of fast bowlers and powerful batsmen. Players like Clive Lloyd, Viv Richards, Gordon Greenidge, and Joel Garner dominated world cricket for over a decade.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has inaugurated a grand temple to Hindu god Ram in the flashpoint city of Ayodhya.
He said it heralded "a new era" for India - the temple replaces a 16th-Century mosque torn down by Hindu mobs in 1992, sparking riots in which nearly 2,000 people died.
Top film stars and cricketers were among guests at the event in Ayodhya.
But some Hindu seers and most of the opposition boycotted it, saying Mr Modi was using it for political gain.
General elections are due in India in the next few months and Mr Modi's political rivals say the governing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will be seeking votes in the temple's name in a country where 80% of the population is Hindu.
Critics have also accused the government of exploiting a religious celebration in a country which - according to its constitution - is secular. For Muslims, India's biggest minority, the event evoked fear and painful memories, members of the community in Ayodhya told the BBC in the run-up to Monday's ceremony.
Televised live, it showed Mr Modi performing religious rituals inside the temple's sanctum along with priests and Mohan Bhagwat, head of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) - the ideological fountainhead of Hindu nationalist parties.
The complex history of India's Ayodhya holy site
Transforming a flashpoint holy city into the ‘Hindu Vatican’
"Today's date will go down in history," Mr Modi said after the event. "After years of struggle and countless sacrifices, Lord Ram has arrived [home]. I want to congratulate every citizen of the country on this historic occasion."
The temple has been constructed at a cost of $217m (£170m), funded from private donations. Only the ground floor was opened - the rest is expected to be completed by the end of the year. The construction work is part of a revamp for the city, estimated to cost more than $3bn.
The building of the Ram temple in Ayodhya fulfils a decades-long Hindu nationalist pledge. Many Hindus believe the Babri mosque was built by Muslim invaders on the ruins of a temple where the Hindu god was born.
The movement to build the temple helped propel the BJP into political prominence in the 1990s.
There was a festive atmosphere as tens of thousands of chanting Hindu devotees waved flags and beat drums - military helicopters showered flower petals on the temple. Saffron flags with pictures of Lord Ram line streets in the city festooned with marigolds, as do banners with the faces of Mr Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
Some of India's biggest celebrities, including Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan and cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, attended.
Temple rises from ruins of one of India’s darkest days
Listen: The temple at the heart of Modi's India re-election bid
Transforming a flashpoint holy city into the ‘Hindu Vatican’
In many other northern cities Hindus lit lamps, and saffron flags carrying images of Ram are fluttering on rooftops, including in several parts of Delhi. Cinemas screened the event, and big screens relayed pictures from Ayodhya to town squares and residential neighbourhoods.
The ceremony, called Pran Pratishtha, which loosely translates from Sanskrit into "establishment of life force", lasted about an hour. Hindus believe that chanting mantras and performing rituals around a fire will infuse sacred life in an idol or a photograph of a deity.
Several domestic TV stations built huge sets by the side of the river Saryu, a tributary of the Ganges, just behind the temple, and provided wall-to-wall coverage of the event, some proclaiming the moment of consecration as the start of "Ram Rajya" (Lord Ram's rule) in India.
Hindus celebrated the inauguration in other countries too. Massive billboards of Lord Ram graced Times Square in New York, where a group of devotees braved the freezing weather to gather in the middle of the night.
Temples all across the United Kingdom - where Indians are one of the largest diaspora groups - marked the event. Colourful posters had been shared inviting devotees to honour the occasion and celebrations involved flowers, sweets and music. There were also some celebrations in Muslim-majority Dubai - where Indians are a significant population - but from Indian news reports these appeared more muted than elsewhere.
In 2019, the Supreme Court gave the disputed land to Hindus after a protracted legal battle followed the mosque's demolition. Muslims were given a plot outside the city for a mosque but have yet to build one.
One member of the community the BBC spoke to in Ayodhya ahead of Monday's inauguration agreed that Hindus have the right to build the temple after the Supreme Court gave them the site.
"We did not accept that decision happily, but what can we do," he said. Another man said he was happy Hindus are building the temple - "but we are also sad because it was built after destroying a mosque".
The new three-storey temple - made with pink sandstone and anchored by black granite - stretches across 7.2 acres in a 70-acre complex. A 51-inch (4.25-ft) statue of the deity, specially commissioned for the temple, was unveiled last week. The idol has been placed on a marble pedestal in the sanctum sanctorum.
Thousands of police were deployed for Monday's event, despite Mr Modi having appealed to pilgrims not to turn up and to watch the ceremony on television. In many states a full or half day holiday was called, with schools and colleges closed and stock markets shut.
The build-up to a demolition that shook India
The man who helped Lord Ram win the Ayodhya case
But a sour note was struck with some top religious seers saying that as the temple was not yet complete, it was against Hinduism to perform the rituals there, and many opposition leaders deciding to stay away.
Some opposition-ruled states also announced their own plans for the day - West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said she would pray at the iconic temple to goddess Kali in Kolkata and then lead an all-faith rally. The eastern state of Odisha (Orissa) unveiled huge plans to bring pilgrims to the Jagannath temple in Puri, one of the holiest sites for Hindus.
Authorities say they expect more than 150,000 visitors per day once the temple in Ayodhya is fully ready.
To accommodate this expected rush, new hotels are being built and existing ones spruced up as part of a major makeover and in recent weeks, a new airport and railway station have opened.
Officials say they are building a "world-class city where people come as pilgrims and tourists", but many local people have told the BBC that their homes, shops and "structures of religious nature" have been either completely or partially demolished to expand roads and set up other facilities.

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

The Gentleman's Game: A Deep Dive into the World of Cricket
Cricket, often referred to as the "gentleman's game," holds a special place in the hearts of millions around the world. From the iconic sound of leather against willow to the electrifying atmosphere of a stadium filled with passionate fans, cricket is much more than just a sport; it's a cultural phenomenon that transcends boundaries and unites people. In this blog post, we'll explore the history, the thrill, and the global impact of cricket.
Check Satta King game of gambling
The Historical Tapestry: Origins and Evolution
Cricket's origins date back to the 16th century, with the first recorded match taking place in the 17th century. What began as a quaint English pastime soon evolved into an international sensation. The establishment of international cricketing bodies like the International Cricket Council (ICC) further solidified the sport's reach.
The Formats that Define Cricket's Diversity

Sachin Tendulkar gushing over the unrealistic 6 of Surya Kumar Yadav on the ball of Mohammed Shami during his maiden IPL century vs GT
The standout feature of that amazing knock of Surya Kumar Yadav was the shot that he pulled off against Mohammed Shami, which had the internet talking about it. It was in the penultimate over of the inning when Shami pitched it up around off and in the slot. Sky, with an open face of the bat, looked to play it over cover, but it ended up being a slice over the third-man area for a six. The stuff of genius, surely!
But the major reason behind the shot going viral was Sachin Tendulkar's reaction to it. The mentor of the Mumbai Indians was caught trying to understand what led to that shot with his hand gesture as he explained it to Piyush Chawla, who was sitting next to him in the dressing room of the Mumbai Indians.
Watch the video here.
Surya Kumar Yadav, while explaining that ridiculous shot after collecting the player of the match, said, "There was a lot of dew on the ground and I knew what shots to play; I was not thinking about going straight; I had two shots in my mind: one over fine leg and one over third man."
SKY reached his triple-figure mark in the last ball of the innings with a six over square leg, and this was his first IPL century and fourth in his T20 career.

[ad_1] Australian Media ahead Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25 (PC: X) “The Bangalore bloodbath has taken another volatile twist, with revelations Indian coach Anil Kumble stormed into the umpires room to lodge a mid-innings please explain.” This was an article on the Australian Daily Telegraph after the India versus Australia Test in Bangalore in 2017. It went on: “As Virat Kohli left a tornado of destruction behind him in the Indian dressing room, fuming he had been given out lbw, it’s understood Kumble went to seek immediate clarification from match officials as to why his irate skipper was given out at a key moment of the second Test.” The report also accused Kohli of hurling a Gatorade bottle towards an Australian official. “Kohli might be the aggressor in the brazen campaign India is running against Australia’s integrity — even striking an Australian official with an orange Gatorade bottle — but coach Kumble, one of the main instigators of the Monkeygate fiasco, would appear to have reclaimed his role as the puppeteer behind the scenes.” The series was attritional. India lost the first Test in Pune, but bounced back to win it 2-1. The Bangalore Test witnessed Steve Smith’s “brainfade” moment, as he seemingly sought assistance from the dressing-room after being given out leg-before, thinking whether to take the DRS. Later, at the press conference, Kohli had hit out at Smith, just stopping short of calling the then Australia skipper a cheat. “I saw that two times (Australia seeking assistance from the dressing-room) when I was batting,” said the then India captain. “I told the umpires then, which is why they intervened this time. We told the match referee as well. We make sure we (Indian team) don’t cross the line. Sledging and all is one thing, I don’t want to use the word, but this falls under that bracket. I wouldn’t do something like this on the cricket field.” For the Latest Sports News: Click Here Australian Media about Virat Kohli (PC: X) As it their wont, instead of calling out Smith, a section of the Australian media went after Kohli and then India head coach Kumble. Make no mistake, this article doesn’t intend to run down the Australian media. This correspondent has friends in the Australian cricket press. At the same time, some of their hacks lose objectivity, and at times become an extension of their cricket team to put pressure on the opponents. This has been the trend. Remember the ‘Monkeygate’ during the second Test between Australia and India in Sydney in 2008? To this day, it remains one of the most controversial games in Test cricket’s history. Andrew Symonds had accused Harbhajan Singh of hurling a racial slur at him, which the latter denied. The entire Indian team, especially Sachin Tendulkar, stood by the off-spinner, and it was his testimony that helped clear Harbhajan’s name of the charge. Eventually, the cricket world moved on, but the Australian media held a grudge. In 2011-12, as India were touring Australia again, it targeted Tendulkar on the eve of the Sydney Test. “While the cricket world is abuzz with anticipation that the Little Master will score his 100th international century during the second Test in Sydney, beginning tomorrow, some recent Australian players have not forgiven his role in the Andrew Symonds ‘Monkeygate’ scandal,” wrote Malcolm Conn. Australian Media on Virat Kohli (PC: X) Rewind to India’s tour of Australia in 1980-81, and Sunil Gavaskar’s infamous walkout at the MCG after falling prey to an atrocious lbw decision from umpire Rex Whitehead. India were at the receiving end of some dubious umpiring throughout the series and in Melbourne, after that dismissal, all hell broke loose. Later, Gavaskar clarified that Dennis Lillee’s verbal abuse and the way his teammates behaved made him take the extreme step. “The misconception is that I was upset at the lbw decision,” Gavaskar told 7Cricket. “Yes, it was upsetting. But the walk-off happened only because, as I had gone past Chetan (Chauhan) on the way to the change-room, the Australians had given me a spray.
They told me to get lost, which is where I have come back and asked Chetan to walk off with me.” India’s team manager Shahid Durrani’s intervention calmed the situation. He asked Chauhan to continue playing, rather than India forfeiting the game and the tourists went on to win the Test. But as usual, almost the entire Australian media, including some venerable voices, sided with Lillee. India are going to Australia this time for a five-Test series, on the back of a home series whitewash against New Zealand. The Aussies have lost the previous two Test series at home against India. Don’t be surprised if their media goes into overdrive to make things difficult for the visitors.
