22-year-old Dhruv Jurel has achieved his biggest career break with his maiden call-up to the Indian Test squad for the first two Tests against England. The young wicketkeeper’s inclusion as a third back-up option came as a surprise to many, reflecting the faith and confidence that the selectors have in his abilities. Jurel’s journey to the national team is a testament to his hard work,…

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.

India approves development of the 5ª generation 'AMCA' fighter

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 03/07/2024 - 20:03in Military

In a significant move, the Indian Cabinet Security Committee approved the fifth-generation Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) poaching project to be executed by the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO).

With an estimated cost of approximately US$ 2 billion, the project will be carried out by the Aeronautical Development Agency of the Defense Research and Development Organization. The goal is to develop poaching and its associated technologies in collaboration with several public and private sector entities. The plan includes the construction of approximately five prototypes within a period of about five years.

According to sources, the project will involve the production of the prototype by industry players, including the public sector company Hindustan Aeronautics Limited.

AMCA ??

As CCS Chaired by PM Modi Clears India Stealth Fighter Jet Program. The total Program cost would be Rs 15,000 Cr & total 5 Prototype will be built in 5 Years with first Proto Roll out in 3 Year

All the Tech required for it already built & devloped.

— Vivek Singh (@VivekSi85847001) March 7, 2024

The government has actively sought the development of national technologies in the defense sector.

The Ministry of Defense predicts that the fifth-generation aircraft project will create numerous employment opportunities and may result in substantial commercial contracts worth millions of dollars for Indian companies. This initiative is expected to generate large-scale employment opportunities.

Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Indian Air Force has significantly strengthened its support for Indian fighter aircraft projects. This is evidenced by the government's acquisition of more than 200 light combat aircraft and the approval of engines for the LCA Mark-2 project.

The introduction of the AMCA into operational functions is expected to begin after 2030. The two initial squads are planned to be equipped with GE-414 engines, while discussions are underway for the co-development of more powerful engines for the subsequent squads.

India is expected to introduce more than 200 of these advanced fifth-generation fighters, which will also contribute to the country's ability to develop future generations of jet fighters in the domestic market.

Canadian police have arrested members of an alleged hit squad investigators believe was tasked by the government of India with killing prominent Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Surrey, B.C., last June, CBC News has learned. Sources close to the investigation also told CBC News that police are actively investigating possible links to three additional murders in Canada, including the shooting death of an 11-year-old boy in Edmonton. Members of the hit squad are alleged to have played different roles as shooters, drivers and spotters on the day Nijjar was killed at the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara in Surrey, according to the sources. Sources said investigators identified the alleged hit squad members in Canada some months ago and have been keeping them under tight surveillance. Kamalpreet Singh, Karanpreet Singh and Karan Brar face first-degree murder and conspiracy charges in the Nijjar case, according to documents filed in a Surrey court Friday. The charges have not been tested in court, but they all appeared before a judge virtually on Friday. [...] Nijjar, a 45-year-old Canadian citizen, was shot dead on June 18, shortly after evening prayers at his Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara in Surrey, B.C., in what appeared to be a highly coordinated attack, according to video of the incident obtained by CBC's The Fifth Estate. Last August, Canadian officials told representatives of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government in person that Canada had intelligence linking it to Nijjar's killing. A month later — on Sept. 18, 2023, not long after returning from a fraught visit to India for the G20 Summit — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau rose in the House of Commons to state that "Canadian security agencies have been actively pursuing credible allegations of a potential link between agents of the government of India" and Nijjar's killing. "Any involvement of a foreign government in the killing of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil is an unacceptable violation of our sovereignty," he added. Modi's government has denied it ordered extrajudicial killings in the U.S. and Canada. Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar initially decried the Canadian allegation as "absurd" and accused Canada of harbouring violent extremists.

Don’t forget it’s not just Ashes series omegas get traded for…

it's major tournaments and series wins, isn't it? so if the betting playing omega things starts out in 2013, then just looking at major tournaments, there was a t20 wc in 2014. ind vs sl was the final. sri lanka won. vk played the match, but he would be bonded to pat by then, so he won't be up for offer. and idk who else in the india squad at the time feels omega? bhuvaneshwar, maybe?

2015 world cup... oh god, it's gonna be tim who's sent to the aus dressing room after nz lose, isn't it? 😭 come to think of it, it probably is still tim in 2019 wc final 😭😭

2016 t20 wc.. eng vs wi final,which wi won.. and jos plays... oh fuck don't tell me it's him who gets sent please no no no no no 😭😭😭😭😭

2017 champions trophy final was ind vs pak, which pak won. again vk is bonded so maybe it's hardik pandya who gets sent?? he's the only one on squad who's headcanoned as omega tbh. and hardik actually was the lone warrior for ind in that final, he was the only one who played well. it would be so awful if he was subject to that after losing, almost as a revenge for playing well despite being omega? ok, tbh now this idea of hardik being india's omega is very disturbing, but for some reason i like it 🤭

2021 t20 wc... aus vs nz final... don't you dare tell me tim gets sent again.. surely he can't get sent thrice 😭

2022 t20 wc final was eng vs pak which eng won.. idk who from the pak team might be omega? shaheen afridi?

2023 wc final.. ind vs aus... vk is quite possibly the only indian omega who played the match? but he can't be sent over. hardik was out injured. ishan kishan (whom i can see as o) was in the squad but not playing. who then? siraj? or maybe vk get's sent over because it's his alpha's team anyways 🤪

2024 t20 wc final was ind vs sa. quinton de kock perhaps?

also india lost the wtc finals for two years in a row, to nz and aus respectively. im kinda pissed that vk gets bonded so early because between 2013 to 2023, india have competed in and lost the finals of at least 5 major tournaments, there's so many times he could have gotten sent over 😭 plus add that to the series we've lost. and if we take into account semi-finals too, then that's another 8 or so semi-finals. vk could have spent his entire career getting sent over to rival dressing rooms 😭

Major tournament finals, test series losses - that’s when an omega gets sent.

I will confirm nor deny any of your assumptions. You will have to wait and read :P

On September 19, 2024, the first day of the Test match between India vs Bangladesh in Chennai created many different areas of emotions between the Indian squad and fans. Bangladesh's bowlers put India under a lot of pressure to start the day. With the bowling, Hasan Mahmud stands out in particular, taking important wickets at the start of the game.

India's strongest players, Kohli, did not score a single run, and Rohit lost his wicket by scoring 6 runs. By the second match, India scored 144-6 with a serious issue.

Jadeja also gave essential support in a calm way. They managed to create a seventh-wicket partnership of more than 130 runs, which changed the game's path.

The secret to this task of saving was Ashwin's strong approach. He scored an outstanding century, his sixth in Test cricket, while Jadeja also played had a good game. The two of them not only helped in India's comeback but also put more burden on Bangladesh. The teamwork of Ashwin and Jadeja was not only important for India, but it added to their names in cricket. 

India Finishes Strong  

For the people who were watching the game, Mahmud's four-wicket effort was the highlight of the match. At the end of the day, India was able to take control because Bangladesh was not able to break the Ashwin-Jadeja partnership, despite Mehidy Hasan Miraz's strong bowling and needed wickets.

Many thanks to the Ashwin-Jadeja stand, India found their team in a better spot at the end of game. Thanks to Jadeja's significant effort and Ashwin's century, India finished the day with an impressive score.

Italy will buy AIM-9X Sidewinder missiles for its F-35 fighters

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 03/18/2024 - 13:00 in Armaments, Military

The U.S. State Department approved the sale of AIM-9X Sidewinder air-to-air missiles to Italy, the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) announced.

The requested package of US$90 million includes the AIM-9X Sidewinder Block II+ missiles; containers; weapon support and support equipment; spare and repair parts; logistics support services and other related elements.

The contract, announced on Friday (03/15), specifies that RTX will be the main contractor. The sale also requires the approval of the U.S. Congress, which has been notified of the approval of the deal by the State Department.

According to the DSCA, the proposed sale will improve Italy's ability to face current and future threats by providing training missiles and guidance units for the Italian F-35 fleet in support of the NATO defense mission.

The Block II variant, which completed its first firing test in November 2008, has a redesigned fuser and a digital ignition safety device to improve ground handling and safety in flight.
