I AM HERE FOR THE NICE ASK DAY

i just wanted to let you know that the ring-in was one of my first fics in this fandom and it totally sold me on the fanfic-fandom side of 911 lone star :)

thank you sanju, that is incredibly kind! i'm so glad you enjoyed the little slice of chaos that @dustratcentral and i came up with - we are rogue as fuck for it, but it was one of my favourite fandom experiences writing and posting it.

thank you to @rmd-writes who did some truly insane turn around times on the beta reading <3

Nakime “Mada omie-dewa ari-masen.”

Akaza “Nara Jogenno Ichiwa dokoda. Masaka yarareta-wakeja nai-darona.”

Akaza “Then, where’s Upper One? Don’t tell me he’s been killed.”

童磨「おっとおっと！ちょっと待っておくれよ猗窩座殿！俺の心配はしてくれないのかい？俺は皆を凄く心配したんだぜ！大切な仲間だからな。だぁれも欠けて欲しくないんだ俺は」

Doma “Otto-otto! Chotto matte-okureyo Akaza-dono! Oreno shinpaiwa shite-kure-naino-kai? Orewa minna’o sugoku shinpai shitan-daze! Taisetsuna nakama dakarana. Daaremo kakete-hoshiku-nainda orewa.”

Doma “Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold up a second, will you, Lord Akaza? Aren’t you even a little bit worried about me? You don’t know how dreadfully worried I was, since you all are cherished comrades of mine! And I’d be heartbroken if I lost any of my comrades.”

Doma “Hey there! Long time no see, Gyokko! Is that a brand-new pot? It’s a beauty! You know the pot you gave me? I’m displaying a woman’s head in it! In my room.”

玉壺「あれは首を生けるものではない…だがそれもまたいい」

Gyokko “Arewa kubi’o ikeru-mono-dewa nai… Daga soremo mata ii.”

Gyokko “That wasn’t its intended use. But I do find it intriguing!”

童磨「そうだ。今度うちに遊びにおいで！」

Doma “Soda. Kondo uchini asobini oide!”

Doma “Listen! You should come over to my place sometime.”

猗窩座「どかせ」

Akaza “Dokase.”

Akaza “Get your hand off me!”

半天狗「ヒイィィ」

Hantengu “Hiiii.”

童磨「おおっ…うーん、いい拳(こぶし)だ！前よりも少し強くなったかな？猗窩座殿」

Doma “Oo…Uuun, ii kobushida! Mae-yorimo sukoshi tsuyoku natta-kana? Akaza-dono.”

Doma “Whoa! Wow, that was some punch. A bit stronger than before, would you say, Lord Akaza?”

鳴女「上弦の壱様は、最初に御呼びしました。ずっとそこにいらっしゃいますよ」

Nakime “Jogenno Ichi-samawa, saishoni oyobi shimashita. Zutto sokoni irasshai-masuyo.”

Nakime “I summoned Upper One here first. Even now he’s listening to us.”

黒死牟「無惨様が…御見えだ…」

Kokushibo “Muzan-samaga…omieda…”

Kokushibo “Lord Muzan has arrived.”

半天狗「ヒィィィィ」

Hantengu “Hiiiii.”

鬼舞辻無惨「妓夫太郎が死んだ。上弦の月が欠けた」

Kibutsuji Muzan “Gyutaroga shinda. Jogenno tsukiga kaketa.”

Muzan Kibutsuji “Gyutaro is no longer with us. Meaning the Upper Ranks are now imcomplete.”

童磨「誠に御座いますか！それは申し訳ありませぬ！妓夫太郎は俺が紹介した者故…どのように御詫び致しましょう。目玉をほじくり出しましょうか。それとも…」

Doma “Makotoni gozai-masuka! Sorewa moshi-wake ari-masenu! Gyutarowa orega Shokai-shita mono-yue… Dono-yoni owabi itashi-masho. Medama’o hojikuri-dashi-mashoka. Soretomo…”

Doma “Is that true, my lord? You have my sincerest apologies! Since I was the one who brought Gyutaro in. How can I atone for this embarrassment? Shall I… gouge out my eyeballs? Or should I―”

無惨「必要無い。貴様の目玉など。妓夫太郎は負けると思っていた。案の定。堕姫が足手纏いだった。始めから妓夫太郎が戦っていれば勝っていた。そもそも毒を喰らわせた後まで戦い続けず……いや、もう、どうでもいい」

Muzan “Hitsuyo-nai. Kisamano medama-nado. Gyutarowa makeruto omotte-ita. Anno-jo, Dakiga ashide-matoi datta. Hajime-kara Gyutaroga tatakatte-ireba katte-ita. Somo-somo doku’o kura-waseta ato-made tatakai-tsuzukezu……Iya, mo do-demo ii.”

Muzan “I have no need for your wretched eyeballs. I knew that Gyutaro would be defeated. As expected, Daki proved to be his weakness. Had Gyutaro fought alone from the start, he would’ve won. If the battle hadn’t gone on after he’d poisoned them. Oh well. It doesn’t matter anymore.”

無惨「くだらぬ。人間の部分を多く残していた者から負けていく」

Muzan “Kudaranu. Ningenno bubun’o ooku nokoshite-ita mono-kara makete-iku.”

Muzan “How worthless. Can’t you see you’re falling in order of who has the most of their humanity remaining?”

半天狗「ヒイイ…」

Hantengu “Hiii…”

無惨「だがもうそれもいい。私はお前たちに期待しない」

Muzan “Daga mo soremo ii. Watashiwa omae-tachini kitai-shinai.”

Muzan “But neither does that matter anymore. I expect nothing of you all.”

童磨「また��のように悲しいことをおっしゃいなさる。俺が貴方様の期待に応えなかった時があったでしょうか」

Doma “Mata sono-yoni kanashii koto’o osshai-nasaru. Orega anata-samano kitaini kotae-nakatta tokiga atta-deshoka.”

Doma “There you go again with the melancholic words. Has there ever been a time when I didn’t meet your expectations?”

無惨「産屋敷一族を未だに葬っていない。“青い彼岸花”はどうした？」

Muzan “Ubuyashiki ichizoku’o imadani homutte-inai. ‘Aoi higan-bana’ wa do-shita?”

Muzan “You still haven’t annihilated the Ubuyashiki Family. What about the Blue Spider Lily?”

猗窩座「うっ…」

Akaza “U…”

無惨「なぜ何百年も見つけられぬ。私は―…貴様らの存在理由がわからなくなってきた」

Muzan “Naze nan-byaku-nen’mo mitsuke-rarenu. Watashiwa―…kisamarano sonzai-riyuga wakara-naku natte-kita.”

Muzan “Why can’t you find it after so many hundreds of years? I’m… starting to question why you all even exist.”

半天狗「ヒイイッ、御許しくださいませ！どうかどうか！」

Hantengu “Hiii, oyurushi-kudasai-mase! Doka-doka!”

Hantengu “Oh! Please forgive us! I beg of you!”

黒死牟「返す…言葉も…無い… 産屋敷… 巧妙に…姿を…隠している」

Kokushibo “Kaesu…kotobamo…nai… Ubuyashiki… Komyoni…sugata’o…kakushite-iru.”

Kokushibo “I don’t know what to tell you. Ubuyashiki…is a master at concealing himself.”

童磨「俺は探知探索が不得意だからなあ。如何したものか…」

Doma “Orewa tanchi-tansakuga futokui dakara-naa. Ikaga shita-monoka…”

Doma “Search and detection isn’t my strong suit, either. I’m at my wits’ end.”

玉壺「無惨様!! 私は違います！貴方様の望みに一歩近づくための情報を私は摑みました。ほんの今しがた…」

Gyokko “Muzan-sama!! Watakushiwa chigai-masu! Anata-samano nozomini ippo chikazuku-tameno joho’o watakushiwa tsukami-mashita. Honno ima-shigata…”

Gyokko “Lord Muzan! Not me! I’ve acquired some information that will bring you a step closer to your goals! A mere moment ago―”

無惨「私が嫌いなものは“変化”だ。状況の変化、肉体の変化、感情の変化。凡(あら)ゆる変化は殆どの場合“劣化”だ。衰えなのだ。私が好きなものは“不変”。完璧な状態で永遠に変わらないこと」

Muzan “Watashiga kiraina monowa ‘henka’ da. Jokyono henka, nikutaino henka, kanjono henka. Arayuru henkawa hotondono baai ‘rekka’ da. Otoroe nanoda. Watashiga sukina-monowa ‘fuhen.’ Kanpekina jotaide eien’ni kawara-nai-koto.”

Muzan “The one thing I dislike is change. Changes in circumstances. Physical changes. Emotional changes. In most cases, change of any kind means degradation. It’s decay. I prefer the unchanging. A perfect unchanging state that lasts forever.”

玉壺（ああ…！無惨様の手が私の頭に！いい…とてもいい…）

Gyokko (Aa…! Muzan-samano tega watakushino atamani! Ii… Totemo ii…)

Gyokko (Ah! To have Lord Muzan’s hand on my head! How sublime!)

無惨「百十三年ぶりに上弦を殺されて、私は不快の絶頂だ。まだ確定していない情報を嬉々として伝えようとするな」

Muzan “Hyaku-jusan-nen-burini Jogen’o koro-sarete, watashiwa fukaino zecchoda. Mada kakutei-shite-inai joho’o kikito-shite tsutae-yoto suruna.”

Muzan “For the first time in 113 years, an Upper Rank has been killed… and my frustration has reached a boiling point! Don’t ever give me unconfirmed information! And wipe that smirk off of your face!”

無惨「これからはもっと死に物狂いでやった方がいい。私は上弦だからという理由でお前たちを甘やかしすぎたようだ。玉壺、情報が確定したら、半天狗と共に其処へ向かえ」

Muzan “Kore-karawa motto shini-mono-guruide yatta-hoga ii. Watashiwa Jogen-dakara-to-iu riyude omae-tachi’o amayakashi-sugita-yoda. Gyokko, johoga kakutei-shitara, Hantengu-to tomoni soko’e mukae.”

Muzan “I’d advise you all to apply yourselves with more desperate urgency from now on. I’ve been far too lenient considering your failures… all because of your status as Upper Ranks. Gyokko, once you’ve confirmed that information, head over there with Hantengu.”

半天狗「ヒィィ！承知致しました……!!」

Hantengu “Hii! Shochi-itashi-mashita……!!”

Hantengu “Understood, my lord!”

玉壺（かあーっ！そんな…!! 私が摑んだ情報なのに… 御無体な……でもそこがいい…ああ～…あ！）

Gyokko (Kaaaa! Sonna…!! Watakushiga tsukanda joho-nanoni… Gomutaina…… Demo sokoga ii…Aaaa…a!)

Gyokko (That’s hardly fair! I’m the one who got the information in the first place! How annoying is that! But that’s what makes it intriguing! Huh?)

童磨「玉壺殿！情報とは何のことだ？俺も一緒に行きたい！」

Doma “Gyokko-dono! Joho-towa nanno kotoda? Oremo isshoni ikitai!”

Doma “Lord Gyokko! What kind of information do you have? I’d like to tag along.”

玉壺「いや…それは…」

Gyokko “Iya…sorewa…”

Gyokko “No, that wouldn’t be…”

童磨「教えてくれないか？この通り…」

Doma “Oshiete kure-naika? Kono toori…”

Doma “Can’t you let me in on it? Please, I’m begging―”

玉壺「あ…」

Gyokko “A…”

猗窩座「無惨様がお前に何か命じたか？失せろ」

Akaza “Muzan-samaga omaeni nanika meijitaka? Usero.”

Akaza “Did Lord Muzan give you any orders? Get lost.”

半天狗「ヒィィィィィ」

Hantengu “Hiiiiii.”

黒死牟「猗窩座… お前は…度が過ぎる…」

Kokushibo “Akaza… Omaewa…doga sugiru…”

Kokushibo “Akaza… You always go too far.”

童磨「良い良い、黒死牟殿!! 俺は何も気にしない」

Doma “Yoi-yoi, Kokushibo-dono!! Orewa nanimo kini shinai.”

Doma “It’s all right, Lord Kokushibo. I don’t mind in the least.”

黒��牟「お前の為に言っているのではない… 序列の乱れ…… ひいては従属関係に皹(ひび)が入ることを憂いているのだ…」

Kokushibo “Omaeno tameni itte-iruno-dewa nai… Joretsuno midare…… Hiitewa juzoku-kankeini hibiga hairu-koto’o ureite-irunoda…”

Kokushibo “It’s not for your benefit that I speak. Disrupting the hierarchy… which, in turn, undermines subordination. That’s what dismays me.”

童磨「あー、なるほどね」

Doma “Aaa, naruhodo-ne.”

Doma “Oh, is that right? I see.”

黒死牟「猗窩座よ… 気に喰わぬのならば、入れ替わりの血戦を申し込むことだ…」

Kokushibo “Akazayo… Kini-kuwanuno-naraba, irekawarino kessen’o moshi-komu kotoda…”

Kokushibo “Akaza… If you’re disgruntled, you should battle for a replacement.”

童磨「いやぁ、しかしだよ黒死牟殿。申し込んだ所で、猗窩座殿は我らに勝てまいが――加えて、俺に至っては猗窩座殿よりも後で鬼となり、早く出世したのだから、彼も内心穏やかではあるまい！わかってやってくれ」

Doma “Iyaa, shikashi-dayo Kokushibo-dono. Moshi-konda-tokorode, Akaza-donowa warerani kate-maiga――Kuwaete, oreni itattewa Akaza-dono-yorimo atode onito nari, hayaku shusse-shitano-dakara, karemo naishin odayaka-dewa aru-mai! Wakatte-yatte-kure.”

Doma “Well, well! If I may, Lord Kokushibo, even if he were to challenge us, Lord Akaza could never defeat us. And in my case, since I became a demon after Lord Akaza… yet was promoted before him, I’d be angry, too, if I were in his shoes. Don’t be so hard on him!”

童磨「それに俺はわざと避けなかったんだよ。ちょっとした戯れさ。こういうふうにして仲良くなっていくものだよ。上に立つ者は、下の者にそう目くじら立てずゆとりを持っ…」

Doma “Soreni orewa wazato yoke-nakattan-dayo. Chotto-shita tawamure-sa. Ko-iu-funi shite naka-yoku-natte-iku mono dayo. Ueni tatsu monowa, shitano mononi so mekujira tatezu yutori’o mo…”

Doma “And besides, I didn’t dodge that blow on purpose. It’s just a little harmless horseplay! This is how you nurture friendship, you know. Those of us on top shouldn’t give our subordinates a hard time. Don’t you think―”

黒死牟「猗窩座。私の…言いたいことは…わかったか…」

Kokushibo “Akaza. Watashino…iitai-kotowa…wakattaka…”

Kokushibo “Akaza! Do you understand…what it is…I’m trying to say?”

猗窩座「わかった。俺は必ず、お前を殺す」

Akaza “Wakatta. Orewa kanarazu, omae’o korosu.”

Akaza “I understand. I’m going to kill you… if it’s the last thing I do.”

黒死牟「そうか… 励む…ことだ…」

Kokushibo “Soka… Hagemu…kotoda…”

Kokushibo “Is that right? Then do your best.”

童磨「さよなら、黒死牟殿。さよなら！」

Doma “Sayonara, Kokushibo-dono. Sayonara!”

Doma “Goodbye, Lord Kokushibo! Goodbye!”

半天狗「ヒイ…」

Hantengu “Hii…”

童磨「何だか俺は会話に入れて貰えなかったような気がするのだが、考え過ぎだよな、猗窩座殿。あ」

Doma “Nandaka orewa kaiwani irete morae-nakatta-yona kiga suruno-daga, kangae-sugi dayona, Akaza-dono. A.”

Doma “It kind of feels like I got shut out of the conversation. But that’s just me overthinking it, right, Lord Akaza? Huh?”

半天狗「ヒイイイ！」

Hantengu “Hiiii!”

童磨「猗窩座殿！話してる途中なのに」

Doma “Akaza-dono! Hanashi-teru tochu nanoni.”

Doma “Lord Akaza! Hey, I was talking to you.”

玉壺（そろり… そろり…）

Doma “N?”

Doma “Huh?”

玉壺「私と半天狗を同じ場所に飛ばしてくだされ！」

Gyokko “Watakushito Hantengu’o onaji bashoni tobashite-kudasare!”

Gyokko “Please send Hantengu and myself to the same location!”

半天狗「ヒイイイ！」

Hantengu “Hiiii!”

童磨「待ってくれ、じゃあ俺も……あ…」

Doma “Matte-kure. Jaa oremo……A…”

Doma “Wait! Can you send me, too?”

剣士「気にするな。疲れているのだろう。子供を産んで育てるのは、大変なことだ。これを飲んだら、私は出て行く。ただで飯を食い続けるのも忍びない」

Kenshi “Kini suruna. Tsukarete-iruno-daro. Kodomo’o unde sodateru-nowa, taihenna kotoda. Kore’o nondara, watashiwa dete-iku. Tadade meshi’o kui-tsuzukeru-nomo shinobi-nai.”

Swordsman “No need to apologize. She must be exhausted. It’s a lot of hard work, giving birth and raising a child. I’ll be leaving after I’ve had this. It wouldn’t be right to keep eating for free here.”

炭吉「そんな！あなたは命の恩人だ。あなたがいなければ、俺たちどころか、この子も生まれていなかった。あ…」

Sumiyoshi “Sonna! Anatawa inochino onjin-da. Anataga inakereba, ore-tachi-dokoroka, kono komo umarete-inakatta. A…)

Sumiyoshi “Don’t say that! You saved our lives! If it hadn’t been for you, not only would be dead, but this child wouldn’t have been born, either.”

炭吉「…わかりました。ならばせめて、あなたのことを後世に伝えます」

Sumiyoshi “…Wakari-mashita. Naraba semete, anatano koto’o koseini tsutae-masu.”

Sumiyoshi “Very well. Then the least I can do is to pass down your name to posterity.”

剣士「必要ない」

Kenshi “Hitsuyo-nai.”

Swordsman “No need for that.”

炭吉「しかし…後を継ぐ方がいなくて困っておられるんでしょう。しがない炭焼きの俺には無理でも、いつか誰かが…」

Sumiyoshi “Shikashi…ato’o tsugu kataga inakute komatte-orarerun-desho. Shiganai sumi-yakino ore-niwa muri-demo, itsuka darekaga…”

Sumiyoshi “But didn’t you say you were at a loss because you have no heirs? Even if a humble charcoal-seller like myself can’t do it, I’m sure that one day, somebody will.”

剣士「必要ない。“炭吉”、道を極めた者が辿り着く場所は、いつも同じだ。時代が変わろうとも、そこに至���までの道のりが違おうとも、必ず同じ場所に行きつく。お前には、私が何か特別な人間のように見えているらしいが、そんなことはない。私は大切なものを何一つ守れず、人生において為(な)すべきことを、為せなかった者だ。何の価値もない男なのだ」

Kenshi “Hitsuyo-nai. ‘Sumiyoshi,’ michi’o kiwameta monoga tadori-tsuku bashowa, itsumo onajida. Jidaiga kawaro-tomo, sokoni itaru-madeno michi-noriga chigao-tomo, kanarazu onaji bashoni iki-tsuku.

Nanno kachimo nai otoko nanoda.”

Swordsman “No need for that… Sumiyoshi. Those who have mastered their skill… share the same fate. Even if it’s a new era. Even if you must take a different path to get there, you’ll always find your way back to the same place. You seem to perceive me as some kind of special person, but you’re wrong about that. I failed to protect anything that was important to me, and throughout my life, I was unable to do what I was supposed to do. My name is as worthless as I am.”

炭吉（ああ、そんなふうに、そんなふうに言わないで欲しい。どうか、頼むから、自分のことをそんなふうに…）

Sumiyoshi (Aa, sonna-funi, sonna-funi iwa-naide-hoshii. Doka, tanomu-kara, jibun’no koto’o sonna-funi…)

Sumiyoshi (Please don’t. Please don’t say something like that. Please, I’m begging you! Don’t think of yourself like that!)

炭吉・炭治郎（悲しい… 悲しい…）

Sumiyoshi, Tanjiro (Kanashii… kanashii…)

Sumiyoshi & Tanjiro (So sad. So sad.)

竈門炭治郎「夢…か…？」

Kamado Tanjiro “Yume…ka…?”

Tanjiro Kamado “It… was a dream.”

炭治郎「ここは… 俺は…？」

Tanjiro “Kokowa… Orewa…?”

Tanjiro “Where… am I?”

栗花落カナヲ「あ…あ！…大丈夫？戦いの後、二か月間意識が戻らなかったのよ」

Tsuyuri Kanao “A…A! …Daijobu? Tatakaino ato, nikagetsu-kan ishikiga modora-nakatta-noyo.”

Kanao Tsuyuri “Are you okay? You’ve been in a coma for two months ever since that battle!”

炭治郎「そう…なのか…そう…か…」

Tanjiro “So…nanoka…so…ka…”

Tanjiro “Is that right? I see.”

カナヲ「目が覚めて、良かった…」

Kanao “Mega samite, yokatta…”

Goto (My name is Goto. I’m a member of the Demon Slayer Corps Cleanup Crew, a Kakushi. During the Hashira Meeting, someone said to Tanjiro Kamado, ‘Are you going to sleep all day? Wake the hell up, will you?’ That was me. It seems fate tends to draw us together. I was also the one who found him and his friends two months ago in the Entertainment District. Since I found them like this… ‘They’re pretty close!’ I thought. Or so I thought, until I saw that all three of them were critically wounded and comatose. They’re younger than me, and they became swordsmen who risked their lives in battle, so I respect them wholeheartedly. I have no clue about this one. What’s his deal?)

嘴平伊之助「ムン！」

Hashibira Inosuke “Mun!”

後藤（そして俺が手に持っているのは、高級菓子のカステラだ。正直、自分が今すぐにでも食べたいのを全力で我慢している。未だに意識が戻らないアイツへの贈り物なのだ。アイツは鼻がいいらしいので、もしかしたら…）

Goto (And what I have here in my hands is premium castella. To be honest, it’s taking everything I have to stop myself from bobbling it up this second. But this is a gift for him, since he’s still unconscious. They say he’s got a great sense of smell, so maybe…)

炭治郎「ハッ！」

Tanjiro “Ha!”

後藤（片付けろや…… 何でもやりっぱなしだな、この子マジで、カナヲちゃんよ。全然喋んねぇし変な子だよ。子供の頃から鬼殺なんてやらせるからだよ。はあ…まぁ階級上だから言��んけどな…俺二十三だけどな…）

Goto (Clean up this mess! I swear, this girl never sees anything through! Gee, Kanao. You never talk, and you’re such a weirdo! It’s all because they made you slay demons since you were a kid! Well, it’s not like I can scold her since she’s higher ranked than me. Even though I’m already 23.)

後藤「あのーこれカステラ置いとくんで、暫くしたら下げてください。傷みそうだったら食べちゃっていいので」

Goto “Anoo, kore kasutera oitokunde, shibaraku shitara sagete kudasai. Itamiso-dattara tabechatte ii-node.”

伊之助「うるせーな！引っ張んじゃねーよチビ!!」

[ad_1] Sanju Samson vs South Africa, 1st T20I in Durban (PC: BCCI) After the first two overs of the fourth and final T20I between India and South Africa at the Wanderers, the visiting side had progressed to 16 for no loss. At that juncture, it just seemed like any other normal T20I from the past. That is not how it exactly panned out at the completion of India’s innings, as they finished with a monstrous score of 283 for the loss of only one wicket. The eye-popping stat was India adding 210 after the Powerplay, alongside 154 in the last 10 overs and 64 in the final five.  To make it even better, in three of the four games, India accumulated scores in excess of 200. Yes, at Port Elizabeth, India could muster a total of just 124, but both batting units struggled in that match, with the pitch offering enough help for the pacers and spinners. It wasn’t much different in the three-match series against Bangladesh, where India raced to scores of 132 for 3 in a mere 11.5 overs, 221 and a whopping 297 for 6. Even in Zimbabwe, India’s highest score was a substantial 234 in the second game.  Some of the risks taken by the batters also act as an indicator of India’s ultra-aggressive template. The first delivery of the series itself witnessed Sanju Samson walked down the pitch to Marco Jansen. And it was followed by Abhishek Sharma attempting a slog across the line. Those two deliveries resulted in a solitary run, but it was a warning sign for the opposition.  Sanju went on to crack two hundreds at a blistering strike-rate of 194.59. Although Abhishek couldn’t make most of his starts, his strike-rate of 173.21 was noteworthy. Just like Sanju, Tilak Varma, the No.3 bat, also compiled two centuries at an astounding strike-rate of 198.58. Suryakumar Yadav, the new T20I skipper, and known for his 360-degree stroke-play, had a poor series. Despite his poor showing, India notched up some tall scores.  Even in the Bangladesh-India series, Sanju, Suryakumar, Hardik Pandya, Ramandeep Singh and Nitish Kumar Reddy all had strike-rates in the range of 180 to 220.  With the tracks in India turning out to be mostly flat for limited-overs cricket, the fearless template could help the side defend the World T20 title in their own backyard in 2026. Moreover, with the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakravarthy and Arshdeep Singh in their ranks, India also have the required arsenal in their bowling to defend targets in such conditions.  Although, as always, a word of caution has to be thrown into the mix. Occasionally, when there is enough help for the bowlers, India would have to change their strategy. We saw a glimpse of that in the T20I played in Gqeberha, with India finding themselves at 5 for 2 in the second over. Leaving aside the occasional blip, India have found the right framework as they look to chart a new era in the shortest format, without Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.   The post Ultra-aggressive India up the intent meter in the shortest format appeared first on Sports News Portal | Latest Sports Articles | Revsports.

"I Needed To Do…": Hardik Pandya's Confession After MI Suffer Yet Another Loss

Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya on Monday urged his team to show a bit more "discipline" and "courage" to turn things around after suffering a third successive loss in the IPL 2024. Asked to bat, MI were left tottering at 20 for 4 in the fourth over and they just couldn't recover from the disastrous start, managing only 125 for nine in the allotted 20 overs. In reply, Rajasthan Royals overhauled the target with 27 balls to spare for a six-wicket win. "We didn't start the way we wanted to, tough night tonight," Hardik told the broadcasters after the match.

"Results, sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn't. I don't think much surprises me anymore. But as a group we believe we can pull off a lot of better things going forward and we just need to be more disciplined and show more courage."

It was Hardik's 21-ball 34 which pushed MI's total. But things went downhill after he was sent back by Yuzvendra Chahal.

"I think we were in a decent position to give us a chance to get to 150 or 160 but my wicket allowed them to get back more into the game, I needed to do a lot more," he said.

The bowlers had a good day in office with Chahal (3/11) and Trent Boult (3/22) setting up the win for RR.

"It's good to have something for the bowlers as well. The game is quite cruel to the bowlers. But it was unexpected. It's all about doing the right things," Hardik said.

RR skipper Sanju Samson said the toss played a crucial role in deciding the fate of the match.

"(The toss) I think that was the gamechanger. The toss was very crucial. I felt it was too sticky to start off and we had the experience of Trent Boult and Nandre Burger's speed," Samson said.

"(Boult) has been playing international cricket for so long and we expected him to deliver. I didn't expect four or five wickets down, but it was great.

"We all do our roles and move on. Someone like R Ashwin knew we had a good powerplay so he didn't go for wickets, just kept it tight. So it's about teamwork." Chasing 126 for a win, RR were reduced to 48 for three in the seventh over but Riyan Parag blasted a 39-ball 54 not out, his second successive fifty this season, to take the team home.

"Actually, I've simplified everything instead of trying to do a lot of things. Earlier when I wasn't getting runs I would try a lot of different things. This year, it's just seeing the ball and hitting the ball," Parag said.

"When I play domestically this is the exact kind of situations I go into bat. When Jos (Jos Buttler) bhai and Ash (R Ashwin) bhai got out, I thought to myself this is what I do in domestic cricket. So that's what I calculated.

On the difference between domestic cricket and IPL, Parag said: "I have had three-four years of not performing at all. And you really go back to the hotel room and think when you know you can do it and the results are not coming, you go back to the drawing room.

"I realised I wasn't practicing at this kind of level so I went and did that." Boult was awarded the Player of the Match for his three wickets in the powerplay with two of them -- Rohit Sharma and Naman Dhir -- coming in the first over itself.

"Never say it's a certainty in the format, but it was nice to get the wickets. We created early pressure, nice to take some wickets and glad the result went our way," he said.

Boult also termed South Africa's Nandre Burger a "great find".

"Bowls with great skill and plays with his heart on his sleeves. Sandeep obviously missed out but he'll play a big role in the season. Excited to be part of this bowling attack."

Tanya: Soo…thank god you can distinguish me and Radha. I thought the crashing of parallel worlds crashed you guy's minds too.

Aditya: Well she's Radha! Of course I can.

Tanya: Did you notice your life becoming a Hindu mythology?

Aditya: Yeah yeah, Radha, Krishanlal.

Unnamed ghost: And what will you give for for the show I put on to get inside you risking getting out of Krishanlal for trucking the chota pandit?

Aditya: Well Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is coming and some ghost is inside Ruhaan too, I swear I didn't tell you to copy that.

Unnamed ghost: You're more worried about copying? 

Aditya: I'm not a thief na, I stole your heart though.

Unnamed ghost: No homo

Aditya: No homie? *Pokes unnamed ghost* I thought that's why you were sticking around. You see the parrot Tanya got? That parrot is making sounds from the beginning of when Tanya got here. I swear the technological things have souls too, not talking about AI but technological things, that's why the soul of the crushed one got into the real parrot or something.

Unnamed ghost: I can tell you're joking.

Aditya: Oh yeah. But does the…sounds mean..

Sanju: I'm gonna find Tanya.

Rocky: They say there's a duplicate of me! He's helping Tanya.

Karan: Guys I'm still married with Tanya.

Tommy: You don't leave the engagement ring from your hand and this bastard, Sanju, doesn't leave the crutch from his hands still, look he's using it to off the bathroom light switch.

Sanju: It's a habit now Tommy. When I call you It seems like I'm calling a dog. Why don't you change your name?

Tommy: Why don't you change using crutches still? Don't tell me you're a ableist.

Sanju: Here you go the thief’s scolding the policeman.

Tommy: You became policeman now?

Rocky: Guys chill! Chillll! Think what's going through Karen's heart right now *wipes off his own fake tears*

Karan: We need to go there. To Tanya.

And all agreed so.

Aditya: The crashing of parallel worlds aren't as twisted or hard as you think it is. 

Tanya: We were talking about my parrot? His name is Johnny.

Aditya: Johnny Johnny yes papa, eating sugar no papa, telling something? We'll figure it out later. But this parallel world crashing, the earth is mutilating worm holes in itself in many places. We are lucky we haven't experienced any monsters coming at us.

Tanya: Really? You're right.

Chota pandit: I came from the mandirrr

Aditya: You spend weeks at the Mandir or what? Not that I'm judging your religious beliefs but don't you have to eat or sleep or..

Tanya?

Chota pandit: Who…is this….Tanya was with me all the time..we were finding other worm holes..we even got a room rented for that…..

Tanya left her parrot..

Aditya: Seems like this time it's not a ghost sighting, it's a monster sighting.

*Tanya starts to turn into a monstrous creature*

Aditya is fully chill, Aditya: I'm still not convinced what the parrot was trying to convey. It was not trying to warn us about the monster for sure. It was sitting on its shoulder now it's to you Tanya. Sorry not the parrot, Johnny*

Tanya: How did you know his name?

Aditya: Seems like the monster got that right

[ad_1] The five-match T20I series between India and West Indies ended in the favour of the hosts, with a 3-2 score-line. Opting to bat on Sunday, the Hardik Pandya-led side visibly struggled and reached a total of 165/9 in 20 overs after Suryakumar Yadav scored 61 runs. Later, West Indies comfortably chased down the target in just 18 overs with eight wickets in hand. Among all the Indian players, this series turned out to be a nightmare for wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson, who once again failed to leave an impact.The Rajasthan Royals skipper was a part of all the five T20Is against West Indies but could not deliver a big knock even in a single match. Out of the five matches, he did not get the opportunity to bat in two, and in the remaining matches, he fetched low scores like 12, 7, 13.After the series ended in the favour of West Indies, Indian fans took to Twitter and flooded the social media platform with hilarious memes to criticize Samson for his dismal show.Sanju Samson In West Indies Series :-1st Match - 12(12)2nd Match - 7(7)3rd Match - DNB4th Match - DNB5th Match - 13(9)His Fans Always Cries Because He Doesn't Get Enough Chances, But When He Gets He Literally Waste That Chances. pic.twitter.com/EV3WNvktP4— Aufridi Chumtya (@ShuhidAufridi) August 13, 2023Sanju Samson watching people wanting him in the Indian squad even after failing in 4 out of 5 games pic.twitter.com/9qLVmMRzqO— retired ICT fan (@anubhav__tweets) August 13, 2023Thankyou sanju samson pic.twitter.com/SOFhyRWGNr— Arun Singh (@ArunTuThikHoGya) August 13, 2023Enough is ENOUGH, Drop this PR merchant Sanju Samson!Can't Play Against z West Indies!#WIvIND pic.twitter.com/x31WISrngt— (@45Fan_Prathmesh) August 13, 2023Thank you Sanju Samson pic.twitter.com/2jD35384kB— Dennis (@DenissForReal) August 13, 2023Earlier, former India opener Aakash Chopra had stated that he does not see Samson in the Indian squad for the upcoming ODI World Cup and expressed that his participation will depend on KL Rahul's fitness."At this point in time, if KL Rahul becomes available, I don't see him [Samson] in the World Cup team. I don't think he will be seen in the Asia Cup team as well," Chopra said on his YouTube channel."Samson is only 28 years old. He does have time on his side. It's not the end of the world. You have the T20 World Cup next year. Plenty of cricket will be played after that too," he added.Topics mentioned in this article [ad_2]

Sanzu Haruchiyo X Reader

Summary: In which you are Bonten’s No. 2 and Sanzu is No. 3. Almost ten years of being stuck working together means you’re both bound to pick up on each other’s idiosyncrasies, yeah?

MASTERLIST

chapter 6: Every love story is a ghost story

.

.

brief mentions of childhood trauma, anxiety attack

.

.

The first time you ever talked to Sanzu Haruchiyo, you were pretty sure he was going to snap your neck. Or maim your face beyond recognition they’d have to stitch one side of your jaw together, whatever it was you heard he did to one of Baji’s men that had Baji calling you up in the middle of the night to rant about. In other words, this boy was partially the reason why you had to walk around all day sporting big bags under your eyes, as if the ghost of your mother who had recently taken up residence at the corner of your room—and around your arms at rare times of the day—wasn’t yet bad enough.

You walked up to said boy with a pounding headache, the chill in your arms becoming difficult to ignore. You’d been late to the day’s Toman meeting because you’d spent too long in the girl’s bathroom fighting the urge to scream and trying to keep your hands from shaking. (It’s the chill it’s the chill it’s the chill even though it’s in the middle of July and you had no reason to wear a jacket to school.) It had sort of been that way lately, but you were adamant on keeping at least this one scream from getting out there in the world. The world, after all, had had enough screaming going around.

“Sanju-san, right?” you said, the boy turning around instantly at the sound of your voice, looking annoyed.

“It’s Sanzu.”

You’d never seen eyes so piercing and hostile you almost felt yourself withdrawing. Just almost. Instead, it’s the metaphorical hands around your shoulders that you felt retract as if startled by the voice that in itself could drive any phantom away, and how odd that warmth had started to creep up your neck.

“Oh, I’m sorry.” You found yourself chuckling partly in embarrassment and partly because you always welcomed what little pleasure life ended up sending your way, whatever form it may take, and this was Funny. “Sanzu, sanzu…as in the Sanzu river?” you nodded slowly to yourself, for a second lost in thought at the image, the most exciting thought you’d had in days, you had to admit. “That’s a pretty name.”

You caught the minute narrowing of his eyes above his mask, as if he was momentarily doubting that there was actually anything remotely pretty about the mythical river that the dead had to cross. He missed a beat before reacting, finally settling on a blank expression which frankly hardly communicated anything. You weren’t afraid of him, he could see, but he knew he could break your arm, mangle a leg or both if he wanted, perhaps.

You were sure he actually did think about breaking your arm.

It only took you a second too long to try to remember what you came to him for. No, you actually had no good reason for walking all the way here, you realized. What wisdom were you supposed to impart on the guy who’d gotten himself tangled with the other Toman divisions, anyway? Make sure he brought a first-aid kit with him all the time?

Ah. “You shouldn’t apply antiseptic to your wounds, you know?” You squinted a little at the still bright red bruise almost right below one eye, vaguely wondering if the lashes fanning his cheeks somehow touched it and did it tickle? “Because they leave scabs.”

Sanzu’s eyebrows were now scrunched together in wonder, his focus never leaving yours, and you had to blink once because yours had. You finally decided to turn around to leave, intent on never speaking to the guy ever again for as long as you lived, and what business would you both ha—

Oh, that was it. Suddenly turning on your heel to face him again, you caught that same (though just slightly more) confounded expression still etched on his face and you thought how odd, how very very odd that the chill in your body had left and it’s replaced by this unfamiliar warmth that almost drove you dizzy. How very troublesome.

“And I was supposed to warn you not to mess with the people from my division because then I would have to break your nose.”

And with that you finally did take your leave, ignoring the boring stare on your back—and yes, you could always tell even then—sinking yourself further into your jacket, cursing the phantoms that had once again clung on your back the further you turned yourself away. You walked into your friends who were loudly debating on where you should all be getting dinner; ending up having to excuse yourself early because you just weren’t feeling up to it. Nobody questioned whatever excuse you ended up telling them this time; least of all Manjiro who you knew understood a thing or two about losing someone important.

Except some of them never actually completely leave—you know this now at twenty-six, you’ve always had ever since you were sixteen and you still heard your mother’s sobbing echoing in the thin walls of your own home and in all the homes you’ve lived in since; in your sleep from the corner of the room; in the bathroom in the middle of the night, startling yourself awake in front of your own mirror, this time convinced that it isn’t your face you’re seeing at all. Or in the middle of the day when there’s absolutely no reason for you to be afraid. Cold, cold hands embracing your arms, sometimes too tight to the point of suffocation. You’ve stopped trying to guess whether it’s your mom or your father this time, or is it the demon from your basement that you, as a child, had made yourself believe had possessed your dad? (Is why he had hit you all the time with no abandon?)

It’s in a warehouse somewhere in Roppongi, at lunchtime when the couriers have briefly paused operation to get something to eat, when you feel that familiar chill in your bones once again. It has been a while that it takes you a moment longer to realize what is happening, and you close your eyes as you silently count to ten, standing up and then excusing yourself, calmly leaving quick instructions to the man in charge in case Sanzu comes back.

You are out of the building in no time, your back pressed against the wall, your eyes closed and your face calm that the kind old lady who passes even greets you Good day! like how people normally do only when they’re half-sure you’re actually (or about to be) having a good day because otherwise it’s going to seem very awkward. You smile back before once again closing your eyes, the world suddenly feeling a bit too much.

You have no idea how long you have stayed in that position, only that you know you’ve been counting to ten in your head over and over and over so at least you’re sure more than ten seconds have passed. It’s the quiet click of a lighter, you realize, that has nudged your consciousness awake.

Your eyes flutter open.

Beside you, Sanzu almost mirrors your position against the wall, except his legs are planted firmly apart where yours are crossed at the ankles, and where your arms are hugging your body—the only tell-tale sign of your sudden impulse to cave in and hide—his arms are uncrossed with one hand stuck deep into his pocket. There’s a lit cigarette between his fingers and he’s craning his neck up as he unhurriedly blows smoke into the sky, his mouth forming a soft ‘o,’ his forehead slightly scrunched either in concentration or annoyance, like he’s shooing away some unseen entity up above, some unwelcome presence he wants nowhere near.

His head stays that way even as he speaks, his face now calm, and you think maybe it’s the posture or the strain on his neck that makes his voice come out soft.

“You don’t have to go to this one, you know.” He doesn’t have to specify whatever this one is, because whatever it is is bound to have screaming and though he always have wondered what it does to you, he actually would rather not have you go through it even if it means he would never ever find out. So he tiptoes and pushes away whatever he can, even just the mere mention of it.

It’s Bonten rule, you intend to tell him, it’s Bonten rule that two members always have to be present during interrogations. But you only manage to close your eyes again and angle your face away, because in a world where anything you say, do, or have can potentially be used against you, Sanzu has already had too many things he could hold above your head by now. He doesn’t need to anymore see the empty look in your eyes, the lack of life, nor does he have to hear the unsteadiness in your voice—nobody, nobody, ever has to. Not in a world where you can’t even tell anymore what’s real or not real.

Not when you find yourself second-guessing the semblance of comfort that this body beside you provides, when his voice effectively banishes the phantom hands away and the chill along with it, or has it been ten years of you facing an even bigger demon that even your own demons feared?

Since when had the lines between Sanzu’s presences blurred?

As if reading your mind (or misinterpreting whatever little he could read from it, if he were able), he tilts his head to your direction and goes, “Heeey, I’m not gonna do anything funny. You know you can sit this one out…”

You are quick to respond back—your eyes finally meeting his, your voice now firm: “I know. I trust you, Sanzu.”

And Sanzu locks you in his eyes and this time, you don’t turn away. The wind has rustled his hair out of his face and in spite of yourself (or perhaps, because of it) you feel like reaching your hand out, feel his hair with your fingers. See if it’s really as soft as it looks. But you keep both hands to your side, hesitating to move, unwilling to disturb his steady gaze because he’s looking at you as if he’s caught something there that he never wants to let go of.

Except until the next moment when he finally has to.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

He’d let you watch from the corner of the room as was originally planned because you weren’t budging and the coldness in your voice had gone back that he had to resort to asking But are you sure? fifty-six times just to get a rise out of you and get you to punch his arm.

Do as you please were your only words, as he turned his head to your direction for one final time, his gloved right hand already teetering with the safety of his gun. Amidst the cowering voices of stuffed mouths and sobbing noises, your voice rang steady, a cue that he always took to indeed do as he pleased.

.

.

There is no room to talk about these things, no time in-between your fast lives, because slow moments are apparently saved for trying to steady your breaths in an attempt to catch up. There is no room, especially in the quiet of his car, the two of you side-by-side in the backseat in the late afternoon, you waking up warm from your nap, his coat draped over your body.

You don’t talk about what he gets to see and the things you never let him (or anyone else) see, nor his lingering, feather-light hold on your arm guiding you to the back of the car, as if you’ll break if he holds any tighter. In the light of a new day, you’ll probably both forget, anyway—like apparitions that make you wonder if they were ever real in the first place, like your mother in the bedroom and the guilt that had stayed.

Neither of you talk about what isn’t there.

But this time, just this one time, as his driver stops the car in front of your place and you make no move to go, you let your hand stretch out on its own to hold his from underneath the draped fabric just to see if it’s real. You close your eyes, holding on tight, his knuckles surprisingly (but also, somehow, not surprisingly) warm. No one utters their Thank you’s around you loud enough because it’s not as if you weren’t all doing these things to save the skin on your back anyway. Except this time, you sigh, some quiet form of acknowledgment, like it’s enough just to feel a sign of life.

You almost turn to go without looking (no one ever says their Goodbyes, as well), let go of his hand and leave the coat behind, but this time it’s his hand that catches yours, not as tight as how you were squeezing his hand for life just a second ago. But it’s firm and it makes you stop, your breath quietly hitching as your face is turned away.

“Take the coat, it’s cold out,” he says, in a voice that is only made for you to hear.

This, too, you know is real.

[ad_1] Image Source: AIFF   -AIFF Media Team KATHMANDU, NEPAL: India crashed out of the SAFF Women’s Championship 2024 when they went down to Nepal 2-4 in penalty shoot-outs in the semi-finals played at the Dasharath Stadium on Sunday, October 27, 2024. Nepal will play Bangladesh in the final. In the first semi-final, Bangladesh defeated Bhutan 7-1. Played in front of a packed house, the shoot-out was applied after the full-time ended in a 1-1 draw in a match that witnessed more drama off the pitch than inside. Once India took the lead in the 62nd minute through Sangita Basfore’s brilliant shot from well outside the box and Nepal scored an “equaliser” that was denied by the referee, the match was held up for more than 70 minutes as the host side refused to continue protesting the referee’s decision. The scene on the pitch during this period was of utter confusion with some histrionics displayed by a section of the players and officials, mostly from the home side. The referee Om Choki from Bhutan waited patiently for more than hour and after lots of discussion between the supervising officials and the Nepal side, the match resumed. The long wait, absolute confusion. and a complete air of uncertainty definitely hampered the rhythm and concentration of the Indians. Seconds after the match resumed, Nepal equalised through Sabitra Bhandari that ultimately proved crucial in stretching the game beyond 90 minutes. In the tie-breaker, Nepal managed to convert all four of their initial attempts, while only Manisha and Karishma Shirvoikar could find the target for India. Skipper Ashalata Devi and Ranjana Chanu were the two who missed for the Blue Tigresses. The trouble began early in the second half when Nepal striker Rekha Poudel was given the marching orders for her second yellow card offence in the 51st minute. As the Nepal players vehemently protested the referee’s decision, the tension generated in the stands forced the assistant referee from the opposite line to abandon her post and take momentary refuge on the other side. It took around 12 minutes for the match to be resumed. The situation, however, went berserk and totally out of hand after India took the lead. As the Indian players went near the bench to celebrate the goal, Nepal did the “restart” and put the ball into an open Indian net. The referee didn’t allow the “goal” and it turned out to be the bone of contention. While the spectators displayed their unhappiness, the Nepal players and officials decided to troop out of the pitch. It took the organisers and the supervising officials more than an hour to sort out the problem. India, who were enjoying a good day in the office till then, were left as confused as anyone else at the Dasharath Stadium. Once the match resumed, the Blue Tigresses were never in their usual self again.

[ad_1] Image Source: AIFF   -AIFF Media Team KATHMANDU, NEPAL: India crashed out of the SAFF Women’s Championship 2024 when they went down to Nepal 2-4 in penalty shoot-outs in the semi-finals played at the Dasharath Stadium on Sunday, October 27, 2024. Nepal will play Bangladesh in the final. In the first semi-final, Bangladesh defeated Bhutan 7-1. Played in front of a packed house, the shoot-out was applied after the full-time ended in a 1-1 draw in a match that witnessed more drama off the pitch than inside. Once India took the lead in the 62nd minute through Sangita Basfore’s brilliant shot from well outside the box and Nepal scored an “equaliser” that was denied by the referee, the match was held up for more than 70 minutes as the host side refused to continue protesting the referee’s decision. The scene on the pitch during this period was of utter confusion with some histrionics displayed by a section of the players and officials, mostly from the home side. The referee Om Choki from Bhutan waited patiently for more than hour and after lots of discussion between the supervising officials and the Nepal side, the match resumed. The long wait, absolute confusion. and a complete air of uncertainty definitely hampered the rhythm and concentration of the Indians. Seconds after the match resumed, Nepal equalised through Sabitra Bhandari that ultimately proved crucial in stretching the game beyond 90 minutes. In the tie-breaker, Nepal managed to convert all four of their initial attempts, while only Manisha and Karishma Shirvoikar could find the target for India. Skipper Ashalata Devi and Ranjana Chanu were the two who missed for the Blue Tigresses.
