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

Faltu me Ghodeja ko hype karte raho tum Csk fans what does he even do? India se zyada toh woh apne asli desh chennai aur apne bhagwan dhoni ke liye khelta hai

"What does he even do"

Gets benched even after having an average of 56.50 in Australia (more than that of any Indian batter in the last 40 years), gets in the playing 11, plays a crucial knock, saves the team's ass (yet again) and proves just why he's ICC's No. 1 ranked Test all-rounder for almost 3 years... but yeah woh toh sirf CSK ke liye hi khelta hai na?

Beyond his on-field exploits for India and CSK in the IPL, Dhoni holds the honorary rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Indian Army.

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.

Virat Kohli fumbles as India’s top ICC-ranking batsman following the lean patch in Tests

In an era where matches are played almost every day, the ICC ranking is the best way to evaluate the current stars of the game. The International Cricket Council, the top-most governing body in the sport, keeps track of all the ongoing series and updates the respective rankings consistently. The ICC ranking is categorized as per the formats with the top performers in Test, ODI, and T20I listed in the standings. Moreover, the best performers of the matches and series are named as the leading ICC-ranking batsmen. A recent reshuffle among the League of the ICC ranking batsmen, however, staged a significant disappointment for India.

Virat Kohli loses his place as the top ICC-ranking batsman for the first time in a decade

India endured a heavy blow in Tests recently when New Zealand beat the team 0-3 in their backyard. The series defeat against the Kiwis broke India’s long-standing record of remaining unbeaten in the red-ball series at home. Moreover, the white ferns handed India their first-ever 0-3 series whitewash on their home turf in the format. The unfortunate series witnessed senior players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli struggling with their forms. In fact, the whole of the 2024 season has been a meek show for Kohli in the format. A dry spell lasting this long was bound to hamper Kohli’s standing as the top ICC-ranking batsman. The recent update in the ICC rankings witnessed the Indian great slipping out of the Top 20 in the ICC ranking of Test in nearly a decade.

The last time for Virat to be buried this deep in the rankings was the dip in the form he faced during 2014. The season saw Kohli struggling substantially on the England tour where he managed to score just 134 runs across five matches at an average of 13.4. However, the struggle was followed by a golden run for the Indian Test skipper in the format. From 2016 to 2018, Kohli showcased his best batting form across formats, even claiming the No. 1 spot to be crowned as the top ICC ranking batsman in the longest format. He also made history as the first Indian to top the ICC rankings in all three formats during the illustrious phase.

However, a string of poor performances in the recent Test series against New Zealand, where Kohli scored just 93 runs at an average of 15.50, has led to his fall in rankings. His overall Test batting average has also dipped to 47.83, the lowest since November 2016. After the forgettable series, Kohli dropped to the 22nd spot in the ICC rankings, a league that he last formed a part of in December 2014.

Along with Virat Kohli, India’s Test captain, Rohit Sharma, also dropped from his position among the ICC ranking batsman, falling to 26th spot. Meanwhile, India’s standing as the No. 1 team in ODIs and T20Is remains intact, but they have slipped to second place in Tests, trailing Australia after a 3-0 series loss to New Zealand. Despite Kohli’s dip, several Indian players have been named as leading ICC-ranking batsmen. Yashasvi Jaiswal ranks fourth among Test batters, with Rishabh Pant at sixth and Shubman Gill at 16th.
