King Virat Kohli becomes India’s leading run-scorer in Champions Trophy history

Dubai: Senior batter Virat Kohli added another feather to his highly illustrious cap as he became India’s leading run-scorer in the ICC Champions Trophy history during the semi-final clash against Australia at Dubai International Stadium Tuesday. Kohli surpassed former India opener Shikhar Dhawan’s tally of 701 runs in 10 games from 2013 to 2017. Former India captain Sourav Ganguly is the…

Where as with the Had incident in 2017– is it the first time Pak beat Ind in a series since 2013?

oh honey, how do i explain this to you? 😂 india and pakistan haven't played bilaterals since 2013, and that was an odi series. as for test series, the last indo-pak test match was played in december 2007, back when the bets wouldn't have even begun. to cut a long story short, political relations souring between both countries led to the curtailing of bilateral events between the sides. if you wanna look up more information, here you go!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India%E2%80%93Pakistan_cricket_rivalry

as of now, the odi series that concluded in 2013 is the last bilateral event of any form of cricket to take place between india and pakistan. the 2007-08 series is the last time they played a test match against each other. currently, the two teams' encounters are restricted to icc events. but the bets are applicable only for the finals of an icc event right? not all games in a single icc event? and india-pakistan have only played one final together.... the 2017 champions trophy....

so there you go then: the 2017 champions trophy is the first and only instance of india and pakistan playing a match where an omega bet is applicable. pakistan won and got hardik. following that match, the two countries haven't faced e/o in the finals of any icc tournaments and they don't play series against each other, so neither can pakistan get an indian omega, nor can india get a pakistani omega.

there's the asia cup, but that's organized by the asian cricket council, not the icc so i wonder if bets are allowed there? and tbh even if they were, there hasn't been an india vs pakistan final after 2013, so it's irrelevant.

so yeah, as i said: the 2017 champions trophy final is the first and only time india and pakistan would have had access to each other's omegas if they won, due to the betting system. so hardik is essentially the first and only omega to be bet in an india pakistan match, from either country.

... guess things just got even worse for hardik, didn't they? i can see pak alphas having been salivating over vk, wanting to get their hands on him, but he's bonded before he can be bet against them. so them taking the anger of having missed out on vk on poor hardik. plus hardik played very well in the 2017 ct final, so i can see them going hard on him too, because how dare an omega think he could've run away with the game?

hardik also, in a way makes it worse for himself, he's stubborn and won't do as told. hardik has said in many interviews that nothing is as important to him as pride and self-respect, even when they had fallen on hard times, he told his dad that he shouldn't pay hardik's way onto a local team, because hardik didn't want anyone's sympathy or charity, if he made it on his own well and good, and if he couldn't, then he couldn't. but he won't have anyone saying he was indebted to someone else for a spot on the team.

so hardik doesn't strike me as the sort of person who'd clam up and be obedient with the alpha's who've won him, instead he's gonna be bratty and rebellious to show them he doesn't fear them. and that of course pisses off the pak alphas even more because how dare an omega have such attitude. when he tries to fight off or slaps an alpha trying to rip his shirt off, oh boy... all of them come at him at once 🫣🫣🫣

Ooph - I mean I knew there was political strain I just didn’t think it was THAT much 😳

Yeah, bloody hell, then that’s MASSIVE - poor had

"Yes, Kotak's name is being seriously discussed for the role of India's batting coach, and it will start with the Champions Trophy in February. The BCCI is likely to make an official announcement in this regard.

His journey from a promising young talent to the captain of the Indian national cricket team has been nothing short of remarkable. This article delves deep into his career, achievements, and influence on modern cricket, providing a comprehensive look at his incredible legacy.

Rohit Sharma as an Indian Cricket Team Captain: A Trailblazer

Rohit Sharma’s journey as a captain started in 2017 when he took over the leadership duties for the limited-overs formats, starting with the ODI series against Sri Lanka. His calm and composed nature on the field has made him a beloved leader for the Indian team. Under his leadership, India has achieved remarkable success in various formats of the game. Let us look at his major achievements as captain. Rohit Sharma's leadership in international cricket has further solidified his standing as one of the best in the game. His calm demeanour and tactical acumen on the field make him an excellent captain, leading India to several victories in both limited-overs formats and the ICC Champions Trophy in 2013. His success as the captain of Mumbai Indians in the IPL has been mirrored in his international career, as he is seen as a leader who leads by example.

1. Leading India to the 2018 Asia Cup Victory

One of Rohit Sharma’s most notable captaincy achievements came in 2018 when India won the Asia Cup under his leadership. Rohit captained the team in the absence of regular captain Virat Kohli, and his calm approach and strategic insights led India to a comprehensive win in the tournament. India defeated Bangladesh in the final to claim their 7th Asia Cup title.

2. First Ever Series Win in Australia (2020-2021)

Under Rohit Sharma's leadership, India achieved a historic Test series win in Australia in 2020-2021. This was the first time India won a Test series in Australia in more than 70 years. Though Rohit did not lead in every match due to injury, his presence as a leader, particularly during key moments, played a crucial role in the team’s historic success. The Gabba Test victory was a testament to Rohit's calmness under pressure and his leadership acumen.

3. Dominating ICC Tournaments with Leadership

Rohit Sharma has shown remarkable leadership in ICC tournaments, particularly in the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 where India made it to the final under his captaincy. Though India lost to Pakistan in the final, his strategic leadership and performance in earlier matches showed his ability to inspire his team during crucial times. His success as a captain in limited-overs formats is also seen in his ability to lead with a balance of aggression and control. His leadership has often been described as calculated and thoughtful, making him a key figure in the Indian team’s success across formats.

Rohit Sharma: A Master of Individual Brilliance

Rohit Sharma is known for his breathtaking batting skills and has established numerous records throughout his career. His journey as an individual player has been nothing short of extraordinary. Let us take a closer look at his accomplishments with the bat.

1. The Record-Breaking Double Century in ODIs

Rohit Sharma holds the distinction of being the only cricketer to have scored three double centuries in One-Day International (ODI) cricket. His first came against Australia in 2013 when he scored 209 runs. He then went on to score 264 runs against Sri Lanka in 2014, which is the highest individual score in an ODI match. This remarkable feat of three double centuries is a testament to his consistency and ability to perform under pressure.

2. Most Hundreds in ICC Tournaments

Rohit Sharma has consistently been one of the best players in ICC tournaments. He holds the record for the most hundreds in a single ICC Cricket World Cup. With five centuries to his name in the 2019 World Cup, he became the highest run-scorer in the history of World Cup tournaments. His ability to perform in high-pressure situations, especially on the grandest stage of them all, the ICC tournaments, shows his mental fortitude and determination. His consistency in ICC events has made him one of the most dependable players in international cricket.

3. Captaincy at IPL: Building a Legacy with Mumbai Indians

In addition to his international achievements, Rohit Sharma has also been a star captain in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He has led the Mumbai Indians (MI) to five IPL titles, making them the most successful team in the history of the league. His leadership at MI is characterized by his ability to read the game, make crucial decisions, and foster a team-first mentality. Under his guidance, MI has become a cricketing powerhouse, with talented players coming together to form a strong unit.

Real-Time Scenario: Rohit Sharma’s Calm Leadership During the 2020-2021 Border-Gavaskar Trophy

One of the best real-time examples of Rohit Sharma's leadership came during the 2020-2021 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against Australia. India faced numerous challenges throughout the series, from losing key players due to injuries to facing immense pressure during matches. Rohit, though sidelined for the initial part of the series due to injury, made a remarkable impact when he returned to the squad. In the final Test match at The Gabba, India was chasing a target of 328 runs, which seemed nearly impossible. However, Rohit’s calm leadership, both on and off the field, played a key role in guiding the team through the pressure. Rishabh Pant’s match-winning knock in the final test, where he scored an unbeaten 89 runs, was directly influenced by the confidence and support Rohit provided to the young players. His ability to keep the team focused and positive amidst adversity was instrumental in India’s historic win.

Rohit Sharma’s Approach: Consistency and Evolution

Rohit Sharma is a classic example of a cricketer who has evolved over time. His earlier career was marked by inconsistency, but he found his groove after being promoted to the opening position in ODIs. This change allowed him to highlight his natural attacking flair, leading to a series of match-winning performances. Rohit’s evolution as both a player and a leader highlight the importance of adapting to the game and continuously improving one’s skills. Rohit Sharma’s style of play, characterized by elegance, timing, and placement, has redefined the approach to limited-overs cricket. His ability to pace his innings, switching gears between aggression and caution, makes him one of the most versatile batsmen in world cricket. Furthermore, his contributions in ICC tournaments and his consistency across formats have set new standards in modern cricket.

His tactical acumen and versatility in the shortest format have redefined the role of openers in T20 cricket. Sharma has proven that an opener can not only play a steady and anchored role but also take advantage of the powerplay and accelerate the innings when needed.

Conclusion: A Legacy That Will Last Forever

Rohit Sharma’s achievements, both as a captain and as a player, are nothing short of remarkable. His leadership has been marked by strategic thinking, calmness under pressure, and a willingness to take responsibility. As an individual player, he has set numerous records, cementing his place as one of the all-time greats in cricket. The story of Rohit Sharma is one of persistence, hard work, and dedication. His journey from a promising player to a successful captain shows that with the right mindset, anything is possible in the world of cricket. His legacy will not only be defined by the records he has broken but also by the way he has inspired generations of cricketers to come. As Rohit Sharma continues to break records and lead the Indian team, his name will forever be etched in the history of cricket, inspiring future generations to aim high and push their limits.

Then, there’s the small matter of Sarfaraz being a Champions Trophy-winning captain. Pakistan had beaten India in the 2017 Champions Trophy final at The Oval under his leadership. As the tournament has returned after an eight-year hiatus, the 37-year-old is working in a different capacity – an ambassador of the ongoing event. On Sunday, as India and Pakistan played at the Dubai International Stadium, Sarfaraz met a select group of reporters on the sidelines. From Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to Jasprit Bumrah, Babar Azam and India-Pakistan bilateral series – a lot of issues were touched upon. The retirement talk of Rohit and Kohli have been en vogue among fans of late, especially on social media. Sarfaraz shot them down. “People shouldn’t talk even,” he said. “Look at their contributions for India. The runs Virat has scored – he has won India matches from impossible situations. The same is true for Rohit, the way he has been carrying the team. His captaincy was outstanding at the 2023 World Cup. Then, he guided India to the T20 World Cup triumph. It’s for Rohit and Virat to decide when they will call time on their careers.” Before the start of the match, Bumrah walked into the ground in a casual half-sleeve shirt. Not watching him in the Team India kit was certainly a big relief for Pakistan. Wherever he goes, Bumrah evokes admiration, cutting across geographic boundaries. Sarfaraz, too, tipped his hat to the master. “He (Bumrah) is an outstanding bowler, the best in the world across formats,” said Sarfaraz. “The way he bowled at the 2023 World Cup… At the T20 World Cup, his two overs at the death in the final against South Africa won India the cup. Cricket has seen very few bowlers like Bumrah.” Coming to Babar, who will face further scrutiny after his 26-ball 23 against India, Sarfaraz said: “They (Pakistan team management) need to build the team around Babar, so that he can play the full 50 overs.” The Champions Trophy being played in a hybrid model had to be the staple question during the interaction. It arrived in due course. Sarfaraz spoke about how Indian cricketers are “loved and respected” in Pakistan, hoping that bilateral cricket ties between the two neighbours would resume in the future. The former Pakistan captain also admitted that hosting an ICC event after a gap of 29 years was a “massive moment” for his country.     The post Cricket has seen very few bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah: Sarfaraz Ahmed appeared first on Sports News Portal | Latest Sports Articles | Revsports.

.... but more than happy for him to be a masking alpha. They’ll be plenty of masking omegas out there from the 1990s-early 2010s

Oh wait, I thought about this a bit now. You know, Hardik said his family used to be quite well off earlier, their struggles started when they moved to Vadodara for his cricket career. So I initially had them fall on hard times, trying to afford something like Antarax for hardik, but on second thought, would they be able to afford Antarax even in their good times? Like they weren't super-rich like Stu is, they were a typical simple middle-class family. So even if they could afford Antarax, ig they'd bankrupt themselves in the first try and wouldn't be able to afford more of it. So maybe their financial issues start another way, and instead of Antarax, Hardik opts for some cheaper, probably even shady and illicit, black-market version of the drug to mask himself as an alpha.

Of course, the illegal drugs mess with Hardik's health so bad-- constant headaches and fever, puking his guts out in the dressing room every other day, weakened immunity, weight loss, etc. Since he's using this less sophisticated version of Antarax, Hardik's ruse is up much earlier than Stu's. Maybe the drugs stop working at an inopportune moment, making him go into heat right in the middle of a match? Or he takes a higher dosage than advisable to prevent a heat, someone finds him passed out in his hotel room, takes him to the hospital where the drugs get detected in his bloodstream?

Either way, once his secret is out, the BCCI are not happy about an omega having tricked them. They give Hardik an ultimatum: either retire or if he wants to keep playing, he is BCCI's bet for every single ICC event from now on. And Hardik's worked too hard, sacrificed too much to get the name and fame he's always craved, he's not going to let his orientation get in the way. So he takes the latter option.

Then comes the 2017 Champions Trophy final. I think this was discussed briefly on here, but basically India lost to Pakistan by a huge margin of around 200 runs. And the India-Pakistan rivalry is exactly like the Ashes, probably worse due to the political tensions involved. Both teams would want to one-up each other using each other's omegas.

Hardik is sent to the Pak dressing room following the 2017 CT loss, and saying he has a horrible time would be a euphemism. Let's just say that by the time someone comes to fetch him back, he's covered in blood and bruises and has to be carried out of their dressing room on a stretcher. 🫣 It's probably the first and only time the boards get involved in the bets, saying that even if they're giving up their omegas for the opposition to do with whatever they like, there's a limit, and opposition players are not allowed to do anything to an omega that might impact their long-term playing ability.

But even then Hardik doesn't consider giving up cricket. To make it worse for him, BCCI ban him from being bonded by anyone until he retires. Because if he's bonded, he can't be bet without the explicit consent of his alpha. So that's another ultimatum for him: if you wanna bond, retire, if you wanna play, don't bond, simple af. Bonus: Hardik has an alpha, who eventually dumps him because they're not allowed to bond, and also, after the 2017 debacle, they don't want an omega who's been "used" by other alphas and will keep being "used" by alphas until he retires. (I have several ideas as to who this can be, HP is very shippable haha 😆)

The breakup is very difficult for Hardik. He develops a playboy lifestyle as a way to cope, sleeping around with everyone who wants him. He pretends he likes this, pretends to be scornful of true love and asserts that he enjoys whoring around and breaking hearts. Secretly though, he pines for true love, for an alpha who accepts him regardless of what he's been through and protects him from the world. Unbeknownst to him, a teammate of his has been pining after him for ages, but never worked up the courage to confess.....

Tbh I can see Hardik having a life pretty similar to Stu's in omegaverse, with both of them masking as alphas and being given shit deals by their boards. They'd have a lot to talk about if/when they meet!

Yeah that could all track - I’ve got to be honest with it being so similar to Stu I probably wouldn’t give it its own work as I’ve said before, but I’m happy for it to be HC and I’m happy to reference it. Pending on timelines perhaps it comes up in VK’s fic? We’ll see :)

If India wins this match, then India will also qualify for the semi-finals. It will be very interesting to see how Pakistani bowlers deal with Shubman Gill.
