DAY 5943

Jalsa, Mumbai May 26, 2024 Sun 11:18 PM

🪔 ,

May 27 .. birthday greetings to Ef Bhanu Kumar Bilala .. 🙏🏻🚩❤️

एक और संडे निकल गया , आशाएँ जो मन को डराती थीं दूर हो गयीं , प्यार आदर समर्पण मेरा सदा आप सब के प्रति । इससे बड़ी उपलब्धि मेरे लिये नहीं ।

🙏

... and here on this lit desk of mine , with thoughts that contemplate what needs to be expressed here and in what dimension and contextual content .. I sit .. at times a gaze on the clock, at times on the reflection on the day passed .. and at times just listening to a creative .. and the immediate visualisation of a cinematic representation, if at all it were to see the light of day ..

Happens so often .. an immediate putting of yourself in a situation which you have devised and associated with the sounds of the tone trunk and tenor of the music ..

There is dislike towards the idea of putting the self in the creativity of an event, a product, a campaign .. as has been expressed often enough here and several other states - the barricaded wall towards the I ME MINE syndrome ..

Many that make such consider it a moment of great sale value ..

Could be for them .. do it if you want to ..

But doing it with me , for me , from me ,does not .. repeat, DOES NOT have compliance ..

Never catered to it and never subscribed to it either .. you or any other brings joy to you .. do it without my participation .. that is a independent right .. you have an opinion, a criticism, laudatory or otherwise , a documented record not contributed by me - fine ..

But my participation in the exercise is uncomfortable for me ..

"Abhorrence towards self-aggrandizement stems from the distaste for excessive self-promotion and narcissism. Society values humility and teamwork, viewing self-aggrandizing behavior as a sign of insecurity and a lack of genuine accomplishment. This disdain is rooted in the belief that true success and worth are recognized through actions and contributions rather than boastful proclamations. Individuals who excessively promote themselves often alienate others, undermining trust and collaboration. The collective preference for modesty and authenticity over self-serving arrogance fosters a more cohesive and respectful community, where achievements are celebrated for their intrinsic value rather than the loudness of their declaration."

... and I glance through the pages of one that has corresponded with Babuji and has , with the collection of his letters, brought out a book ..

one such letter, Babuji's content text says :

.. he that writes a complicated mind set, does not give a suitable proof of the purity of the writing .. 'why' did Tulsidas write the Ramayan, 'how' did he write it , could be the subject of dissertation among some of the learned intellectual beings .. most of the people just know that Tulsidas wrote the Ramayan .. when there is no deeper thought on 'what' .. then to beat the drum on the 'why' and the 'how' does not clarify or contribute to any meaning ..

It is a response to a letter by someone that has been brought to his notice, and asked him why he does not refute these insincere and absolutely wrong impressions that people have expressed towards his works - in particular 'Madhushala', - which the letter writer complains, is a propagation and a promotion for alcoholism !

मेरे पास सीमित-शक्ति है । मूर्खताओं को उत्तर दूँ या किसी रचनात्मक कार्य में लगाऊँ

I have limited time and strengths .. do I spend my time replying and responding to foolish idiots, or putting my efforts in use towards more creative cognitive work ..

And here endeth the lesson for the day ..

The IPL Final is over and KKR have WON a most convincing victory .. SRH were simply outplayed .. disappointing in many ways becuse SRH is a good team and one has seen their very grand performances over the days when they played other matches ..

But what was most touching to observe was the pretty young lady , .. the owner of SRH, in the Stadium, get emotional after the loss and break into tears, turning her face away from the cameras, so as not to display her emotion .. I felt bad for her !!

Never mind .. tomorrow is another day .. my dear !!

Indeed .. to quote that famous line from the film 'Gone with the Wind' when the character of Rhett Butler, played by the great Clark Gable turns away from his lady love Scarlett O' Hara, played by the inimitable Vivien Leigh, in the climax and leaves saying :

" Frankly .. I couldn't give a damn ..!!

and she responds as he walks away :

'.. i'll get him back .. after all tomorrow is another day .. '

YES yes , yes ..

to all that fail .. do not give up .. for ..

'tomorrow is another day ...

My love .. ❤️

are we in the realm of september bachelor route thuthers or is 2024 patho winning again as a theory?

no idea. tbh anyone waiting with baited breath for this game is setting themselves up for disappointment. i mean it took like what 6 or 7 years for us to get the physical backer rewards? based on IPL's previous track record it always gets done eventually, no matter how long it takes. the 5 months of little "ARG" posts have been interesting I guess but realistically I have no idea what's going on there. it's best to put this in the back of your mind so when there's finally an update the most you can feel is pleasant surprise. that's how i've always approached it anyway

Jos is any day a better T20 batsman than VK. VK has got more records, but the impact Jos has is unparalleled

HAHAHAHAHAHA 🤣🤣🤣

I'm sorry but

HAHAHAHAHA 🤣🤣🤣

I'm curious, what exactly is considered "impact"? How about being the highest run-scorer of 2 T20 World Cups? How about being the player of the tournament in consecutive T20 World Cups? Virat did that. You know what else he did? India played 6 knockout matches between 2014 and 2024. Virat has made a half century or more than that in 5 out of those 6 matches. That's just shy of 400 runs in 6 matches. It makes his average in T20 WC knockout matches over 90. If that's not impactful, I don't know what is.

Is impact related to strike rate? Virat scored 70 off 29 against West Indies, 94 in some 50 odd balls against WI, and his century against Afghanistan came in 52 balls. The first knock has a strike rate of over 200. Virat chased down 48 off the last 3 overs against Pakistan at the MCG in 2022 and 39 off the last 3 overs against Australia at Mohali in 2016. The latter was a virtual quarter final, and Virat's knock guaranteed India's progress to the semi finals.

Is impact related to hitting sixes? Well, for all that Jos is a renowned six-hitter, it was Virat's six against Haris Rauf at the MCG was declared the shot of the century by ICC. An equation that read 28 off 8 became 16 off 6. It was Virat who hit the two sixes that were required to get it down till here.

Virat has time and again won matches out of nowhere for India. The Mohali 82 against Australia, the MCG 82 against Pakistan, the 72 in 2014 SFs vs South Africa, I can go on and on here-- Heck, Virat was most of the, if not the sole reason that India got as far as they did in the 2014, 2016 and 2022 editions of the T20 World Cup. He is a massively impactful player, who delivers whenever needed. Even yesterday's final, take Virat's 76 out of the equation and we had only a 100 on the board to defend. I doubt even Jasprit could have done much with that.

Virat ended his career in T20s as unquestionably the best T20 player of this generation. Nobody comes close to having the kind of impact he does on the game. He carried India in almost every single T20 World Cup he played, and nobody deserved to lift that trophy as much as he did.

I did not intend this as an insult to Jos. He is a great player, one of the very best to have played the game, but he's not better than Virat. Nope, sorry, he isn't. And it isn't limited to Jos either. There isn't any player in the world, not Rohit, not Warner, not Babar, not Maxwell, no nobody in this generation comes close to having the kind of class, poise and impact of Kohli in T20s.

People are allowed differing opinions - sure, the stats say Virat but in terms of coming in when the team needs and changing the game momentum Jos is one of the best at having an impact

Numbers aren’t always everything, I think is the point the original ask was making. And honestly, looking at the tournament that just concluded, VK really only made an impact in the final, whilst Jos was a lynchpin to a lot of England’s batting innings.

Not saying you’re wrong and - as I said - everyone has opinions and it’s great they’re different because it allows us to discuss thing :) But I think the original ask was talking more about match impact than stats. There is a reason he was RR’s impact batsman for the IPL this year.

James Anderson looks set to make a professional comeback in Division Two of the County Championship next season, after it was revealed he is in talks with Lancashire about an all-format return that will take his career past his 43rd birthday.Anderson played his 188th and final Test against West Indies at Lord's in July 2024. He bowed out after 21 years as an England cricketer with 704 Test wickets at 26.45, and has not featured competitively since.However, he showed he had unfinished business when he put himself forward for the IPL auction in December - where he went unsold - and has stayed fit during his role as England's Test bowling coach, with regular stints in the nets plus work with the team's strength and conditioning coaches.Now, according to The Telegraph, he is ready to commit to at least one final season with Lancashire - the club that first signed him as a teenager almost a quarter of a century ago, and for whom he made his first-class debut in 2002.Lancashire were relegated from the top flight of the County Championship last season, although Anderson demonstrated his enduring prowess in first-class cricket with figures of 7 for 35 in his solitary appearance against Nottinghamshire at Southport in June.He is expected to be available from the start of the 2025 season, including a return to Lord's to face Middlesex in Lancashire's opening match from April 4 to 7, and - assuming he continues his coaching role with England - he could feature in five matches before the Test summer begins with a one-off match against Zimbabwe in May.Anderson's comeback would also have to be combined with his burgeoning media duties, while Lancashire would also have to pay his wages for the first time in more than a decade, now that he is no longer an ECB centrally contracted player.Lancashire's first home match is against Northamptonshire at Old Trafford in the second round of the Championship, beginning on April 11.He could also feature in Lancashire's white-ball teams, although he hasn't played any form of T20 cricket for more than a decade. His last match in the format was Lancashire's four-run loss in the T20 Blast final in 2014.

[ad_1] Jasprit Bumrah at the Gabba (PC: BCCI/X) RevSportz Comment Though he never played a Test against them, Damien Fleming, a superb swing bowler on his day, was part of the generation of Australian cricketers that wrested the (unofficial) Test-match crown from mighty West Indies in the 1990s. So, when Fleming – who witnessed Curtly Ambrose’s spell of 1/7 from 5.2 overs at the old WACA in Perth, the sorcery of Wasim Akram and the White Lightning of Allan Donald – speaks, you tend to listen. “Jasprit Bumrah is the greatest touring fast bowler that I have ever seen,” he said recently, as Bumrah finished the five-Test Border-Gavaskar Trophy with 32 wickets, despite being unable to bowl in the final innings in Sydney. “He is an absolute superstar.” For Indian cricket fans, however, Bumrah is the surprise gift that just keeps on giving. Those who were at Newlands in January 2018 will remember just how much the then-24-year-old Bumrah’s selection was mocked, both in the press box and in clips aired on Indian television. What was an IPL player and a guy who bowled good yorkers for India in T20Is doing in whites? Fortunately, Virat Kohli, then captain, and Ravi Shastri, the coach, knew a lot more about the game than their critics, and Indian cricket hasn’t looked back since. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here Jasprit Bumrah in Australia (PC: X) Worlds like ‘generational talent’ are thrown around loosely these days, often before a player has even proved himself for a couple of seasons. But Bumrah is that, and so much more. From humble beginnings, and a pathway that was far removed from that paved for most prodigies, he had to do everything the hard way. That he has gone on to become such a complete bowler in all conditions is testament not just to his ability to soak up relevant information from here, there and everywhere, but a work ethic that is second to none. Those yorkers and befuddling slower balls are no accident – they are cricket diamonds that have been worked on for years to get that 24-carat finish. The raw numbers since that Cape Town morning when he was given his first cap are mind-boggling enough. Both his average (19.40) and strike-rate (42) while taking 205 wickets from 45 Tests put him top of the heap, ahead of names like Malcolm Marshall, Dale Steyn and Glenn McGrath. Only in New Zealand, where he has played just two Tests, has Bumrah failed to grab a series by the scruff. In 2024, he took 71 wickets in just 13 Tests, at a ridiculous average of 14.92. Only in four innings out of 26 (and one of those was a solitary over in Adelaide) did the opposition stop him taking a wicket. But the figures can only tell you so much. They can’t tell you of the awe he provokes in those that face him. Usman Khawaja spoke of being ‘Bumrah-ed’, while Travis Head – who specialises in wrecking Indian cricket dreams – couldn’t hide his admiration. Michael Clarke, who captained Mitchell Johnson during his Ashes pomp in 2013-14, told RevSportz that he hasn’t seen a better all-format pace bowler. Virat Kohli with Jasprit Bumrah after the SCG Test (PC: Debasis Sen) Bumrah can swing the ball, both new and old. He can get it to nip off the seam. He has a bouncer that rears up at you like an angry snake, and a yorker that makes a grotesque mess of stumps. The slower ball is a disguised thing of beauty, and his control is incredible for someone who hardly bowls at medium pace. Comparisons with bowlers from the uncovered-pitches era are pointless, but Bumrah more than holds his own against the modern greats. If you started following cricket 40 years ago, Marshall was the gold standard, capable of 33 wickets in an India series and of skittling teams in English conditions. Wasim Akram’s skill-set was second to none, while McGrath redefined control. Steyn had similar levels of accuracy at his peak, and Marshall’s waspish pace. Bumrah can still crank it up to the mid-140s when in the mood, and he is almost chess master-like in the way he works out batters.

Forget his greatness in white-ball cricket. Seven years after his much-derided selection, Bumrah is a bonafide great in the Test arena. If India want to win the World Test Championship in 2027, after having seen this cycle unravel so dramatically, he has to be wrapped in cotton wool during meaningless bilateral white-ball assignments. Kapil Dev, Zaheer Khan, Ishant Sharma, Javagal Srinath and Mohammed Shami may still be ahead of him in India’s all-time Test wicket-taker list for pace bowlers, but Bumrah is presently in a league of his own.

Top 3 Centuries By Virat Kohli In The IPL ​

Virat Kohli has a legitimate claim to be the best batsman in contemporary cricket. Around the course of his more than ten-year international career, former India captain Virat Kohli has made bowlers' lives miserable all around the world. The batting icon is just the second Indian batsman after Sachin Tendulkar to reach the 25,000-run mark in international cricket, having already amassed over 27,000 runs. With 81 tons under his belt, Kohli is also ranked second among batsmen with the most hundreds in international cricket. He moved up to second position after surpassing Ricky Ponting's record of 71 centuries with a century against Bangladesh in the third ODI in 2022. Out of all the players that are currently playing, Kohli has the most international hundreds. The top slot is occupied by the ‘God of Cricket’ Sachin Tendulkar, who has amassed an incredible 100 international hundreds. Although he has amassed 50 hundreds in the One-Day International format, Virat Kohli has amassed 30 centuries in Test cricket and one hundred in the shortest version of the game.

But the single ton in the T20Is among Virat Kohli total centuries led many people to believe that the stalwart isn’t as good in the shortest format as the other ones. However, when you look at his Indian Premier League (IPL) stats, you’ll find eight centuries just lying around. These centuries go on to show how potent he is in the T20s as well. By the way, he has the most number of centuries in the IPL, just above Jos Buttler who has seven centuries. The 35-year-old has only ever played for RCB, having been a member since the 2008 IPL season. He has amassed a record 8004 runs from 244 innings in the IPL, including 55 half-centuries in addition to the eight tons. He is the IPL's top run scorer with these figures. Despite not being able to guide RCB to an IPL championship in 13 years, Kohli has been one of the most successful hitters in the lucrative competition.

Top IPL Centuries By Virat Kohli

113* vs Rajasthan Royals, IPL 2024

In the IPL 2024 edition, Kohli scored his eighth and most recent century against the Rajasthan Royals. Once more, when he batted first, Kohli was the only one who anchored the innings. Together with Faf du Plessis, he forged a 125-run stand, hitting 113* off 72 balls. During his innings, Kohli smashed 12 fours and four sixes to stay undefeated. Jos Buttler reached 100* off just 58 balls to put the Royals over the finish line in 19.1 overs, but once more, the century did not come in a winning cause.

113 vs Kings XI Punjab, IPL 2016

This is his greatest IPL score to date and the fourth of four hundreds that Kohli recorded in the 2016 season. By virtue of the Duckworth Lewis technique, RCB defeated KXIP by 82 runs thanks to the knock of 50-ball 113, which also kept them in the running for the playoffs. At a strike rate of 226.00, Kohli hit 12 fours and 8 sixes throughout the 113-run innings. 

109 vs Gujarat Lions, IPL 2016

One of the most notable partnerships that AB de Villiers and Kohli have forged since joining RCB in 2011 occurred in 2016. In the season's 44th encounter, RCB hosted the now-defunct Gujarat Lions. With five fours and eight sixes, Kohli scored 109 from 55 balls. Up to 112 of the 229 runs in the pair's partnership came in the final five overs. RCB scored 248 runs in all, and the Gujarat squad was dismissed for 104 runs in response.

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB): A Deep Dive into Their Playoff History

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is one of the most iconic franchises in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Despite their popularity and star-studded lineups over the years, RCB has had a complicated journey in the IPL. The franchise is known for its explosive performances and dedicated fanbase, but the elusive IPL trophy has remained just out of reach. A common question fans often ask is, "How many times has RCB qualified for the playoffs?" The answer is that RCB has made it to the playoffs nine times as of 2024. However, their performance in the finals has been less than fortunate, as they have reached the finals three times but are yet to win the championship.

RCB’s Journey to the Playoffs: An Overview

RCB has had a roller-coaster history when it comes to qualifying for the IPL playoffs. Despite a strong batting lineup and some of the most iconic players in the IPL, the team has struggled with consistency. Let’s break down their playoff appearances season by season:

2009: After a disappointing start in 2008, RCB found their rhythm in the 2009 season. Anil Kumble led the team to their first playoff and eventually to the final, where they faced the Deccan Chargers. Despite a spirited effort, RCB lost the final. However, this marked the beginning of their journey as one of the top contenders in the IPL.

2010: In the 2010 season, RCB maintained their competitive form and once again reached the playoffs. However, their journey ended in the semi-finals, where they were eliminated by the Mumbai Indians. Although they didn’t make it to the final, RCB proved they were a force to be reckoned with.

2011: The 2011 season was a golden opportunity for RCB. They topped the points table, largely thanks to the power-hitting of Chris Gayle, who was in sensational form. RCB reached the final for the second time but fell short, losing to the Chennai Super Kings. It was another heart-breaking defeat, as they missed out on the trophy despite a stellar season.

2015: After a few seasons of inconsistency, RCB bounced back in 2015, reaching the playoffs again. With Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, and Mitchell Starc in their ranks, RCB looked strong but were eliminated in the semi-finals by Chennai Super Kings. It was another close call, but the wait for their first title continued.

2016: The 2016 IPL season was RCB’s best chance at clinching their maiden title. Virat Kohli was in sensational form, scoring a record 973 runs with four centuries. RCB reached their third final, but despite being favorites, they were beaten by Sunrisers Hyderabad. The loss added to their tally of missed opportunities, as the title continued to evade them.

2020: After a four-year playoff drought, RCB made a comeback in 2020 under the captaincy of Virat Kohli. Although they had moments of brilliance, they were knocked out in the eliminator by Sunrisers Hyderabad. The season ended in disappointment, but RCB’s return to the playoffs was a positive sign.

2021: RCB secured a playoff spot for the second consecutive year in 2021. With consistent performances throughout the season, hopes were high. However, they were once again eliminated in the eliminator, this time by Kolkata Knight Riders. Despite the loss, RCB showed they were building a consistent, competitive team.

2022: In 2022, RCB made it to the playoffs for the third straight season. They won the eliminator against Lucknow Super Giants but were defeated by Rajasthan Royals in the second qualifier. While the wait for an IPL title continued, RCB’s consistency in reaching the playoffs was becoming a hallmark of the team.

2024: In the 2024 IPL season, under the leadership of Faf du Plessis, RCB qualified for the playoffs once again. Although they put up a strong fight, they were unable to make it to the final. With nine playoff appearances, RCB has consistently been among the top teams, but the elusive IPL trophy remains a distant dream.

How Many Times Has RCB Qualified for the Final?

In addition to asking, "How many times has RCB qualified for the playoffs?", another common question is how many times they’ve reached the final. RCB has made it to the IPL final on three occasions: 2009, 2011, and 2016. Unfortunately, RCB has lost all three finals.

2009 Final: RCB’s first final appearance came in 2009, where they faced Deccan Chargers. Despite a strong run to the final, they couldn’t cross the line and finished as runners-up.

2011 Final: RCB was in prime form in 2011, largely due to Chris Gayle’s exceptional performances. They finished at the top of the points table and reached the final. However, Chennai Super Kings outplayed them, handing RCB their second final defeat.

2016 Final: The 2016 season is often remembered for Virat Kohli’s record-breaking run-scoring spree. RCB looked destined to win their first IPL title, but Sunrisers Hyderabad had other plans, defeating them in the final and leaving RCB without a trophy for the third time.

Challenges Faced by RCB in Playoff Matches

RCB’s struggle in the playoffs can be attributed to several factors. Despite having some of the most explosive players in the league, the team has often faltered at crucial moments. Here are some of the challenges RCB has faced in their playoff runs:

Inconsistent Bowling Lineup: One of RCB’s primary weaknesses over the years has been their bowling attack. While their batting, led by stars like Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, and Chris Gayle, has often been their strength, their bowling has lacked consistency, especially in the death overs.

Over-Reliance on Key Players: RCB has frequently relied on individual brilliance to carry them through matches. While players like Kohli and de Villiers have delivered spectacular performances, this dependence has often left the team vulnerable when these stars fail to fire.

Pressure of Knockout Matches: RCB has struggled to handle the pressure in high-stakes knockout matches. Whether it’s nerves or strategic missteps, they have often underperformed in finals and eliminators. Building a mentally resilient team is essential for RCB to go all the way.

What Lies Ahead for RCB?

RCB’s repeated playoff appearances show they are always in the mix, but winning the IPL title remains the ultimate goal. For them to break the jinx and finally claim the trophy, a few key factors will be crucial:

Building a Balanced Squad: RCB needs to focus on assembling a well-rounded team with depth in both batting and bowling. Strengthening their bowling lineup, especially in the death overs, will be critical.

Developing Young Talent: Investing in young players, especially bowlers, will add depth to the team and allow RCB to be more consistent. Nurturing talent will help them avoid over-reliance on a few star players.

Mental Strength in Big Games: RCB’s history in knockout games shows a pattern of faltering under pressure. Addressing this issue and building a mentally resilient squad will increase their chances of finally lifting the IPL trophy.

Conclusion

So, how many times has RCB qualified for the playoffs? The answer is nine times. Despite their numerous playoff appearances, RCB is still in search of their first IPL title. With a strong fan base and a competitive squad, RCB remains one of the most exciting teams in the IPL. As they continue to build and improve, fans hope that the long-awaited IPL title will soon come their way.

SRH vs LSG 2024

SRH vs DC 2024

Srh vs Rcb'24 too. Heady had a sick century there. Actually all of these 3 games are remarkable. In the lsg game, srh broke the record of chasing highest no of runs (166 odd in 9.4 overs, with 10 wickets left). In the Dc one, they made the highest no of runs in powerplay, 125 runs. In the rcb game, they broke their own record of highest no of runs scored in ipl.

I was pretty stoked actually, and got quite sad when they couldn't score against kkr in the playoffs and final. Gurbaz keeping might truly be Head's kryptonite. Nonetheless, it was a pretty good run and I am glad I tuned in to this year's ipl.🤙

oooh hohoho very nice! srh was truly off the shits this year huh

"Love To Look At Things In Positive Manner": Sanju Samson Ahead Of ICC T20 WC 2024 Opener

Ahead of their opener against Ireland in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, India wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson said that he positively looks at things while reflecting on failures and successes in his career.

Samson, who made his international debut in 2014 in a T20I match, has had ups and downs, having played just 25 T20Is and 16 ODIs for India over the last decade.

His T20 stats have been disappointing as he has scored just 374 runs at an average of 18.70 with one half-century. a strike rate of 133.09 and the best score of 77.

The Kerala-born cricketer asserted that at the time when a cricketer is young and successful, he tries to skip a few lessons.

"I love to look at things in a more positive manner. If it's a failure or setback, you learn through it. When you are young and successful, you skip a few lessons. I am blessed with my talent, which comes naturally to me as a batter" Samson said in a video posted by BCCI.

The 29-year-old further stated that right from the moment he arrived in the United States, he had taken out all the things regarding Indian Premier which is in his mind.

"Right from the moment I landed here, IPL has been away from my mind. I tell myself that I am somewhere where people dream of going. Then I was like, what else do I need to do? Mentally I did not have to motivate myself. Things happen automatically. When you meet Rohit and Virat, you get inspired and there is no looking back. How can Sanju help India win more games, what it is like to be a WC player for India? I am very grateful for the support wherever I go," the wicketkeeper added.

In the end, Samson said that he loves to change and adapt according to the conditions.

"The biggest lesson as a cricketer and human is that the change is constant. You cannot say that this is the only way to play. I love to change and adapt as per conditions. You can't be the same Sanju Samson," the right-hand batter concluded.

India will start their T20 World Cup campaign on June 5 against Ireland at the newly constructed Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.

The blockbuster clash between India and Pakistan will take place on June 9. India will later play tournament co-hosts USA (June 12) and Canada (June 15) to wrap up their Group A matches.

In the tournament, India will be aiming to end their ICC trophy drought, having last won the ICC Champions Trophy in 2013.

[ad_1] Jay Shah, the new ICC Chairman (PC: ICC/X) Just as Indian athletes are celebrated for bringing laurels to the country from the field of play, if one takes a look at officials who have done well in 2024, the name of Jay Shah will come on top of the list. This is a year where Shah, son of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, showed that he is young, energetic and still can lead the world of cricket. Shah’s rise to the post of chairman, International Cricket Council (ICC), at 36, has been welcomed by all the major cricket playing nations. The lone exception is Pakistan, where a section took potshots at him needlessly. Indeed, Shah comes as a whiff of fresh air in sports administration, notably cricket. The whole year people in India have got the stick and were tired of reading about various national sports federations being governed poorly. Court cases, infighting, people overstaying their tenure, some sports administrators stunk their places out. This is where Shah has charmed the world with his pleasant manners and endearing smile. When he was chosen as the ICC chairman, it was unanimous. Everyone knows, India is the powerhouse in cricket when it comes to calling the shots in sponsorship deals, advertisement revenue and even TV and digital rights. And each time the IPL has grown bigger and bigger, the BCCI stands behind it strongly. Of course, the IPL has a separate boss but the role of the BCCI top brass cannot be discounted. Even when Shah was the BCCI secretary, he had already made an inroad into cricket administration in Asia. He led the Asian Cricket Council with panache. So, when a replacement had to be found for Greg Barclay, the name of Shah came up unopposed. It speaks volumes for how he has been recognised for the good work done, primarily as the BCCI boss. When the ICC T20 World Cup was hosted by the United States of America and the West Indies this summer, Shah was seen. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here ICC chair Jay Shah with representatives of other Member boards at the ICC headquarters in Dubai on Thursday. Photo: X He won hearts just after the World Cup ended. The first was after skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli said they were saying goodbye to T20 international cricket. Shah he quickly announced both the present and former skipper would be there for the Champions Trophy in 2025. The brouhaha over the Champions Trophy is over. It is as good as a done deal and Pakistan has been forced to accept a hybrid model for the tournament. The details are well known, but Shah slipped into the ICC chair so smoothly, he did not have to make any noise at all. That already defines him as an ICC boss, someone who knows how to get the job done. People will not forget that after the World Cup final, the Men in Blue as well as Indian journalists were stuck in Barbados after Hurricane Beryl had done the damage. Shah flew the team as well as journalists to India in an Air India charter flight. This was after the airport in Barbados was shut down for more than two days. Flights were cancelled and re-bookings were not happening. Shah swung into action as millions were waiting to see the trophy in India. From touchdown in New Delhi on July 4 morning to an audience with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and then being flown out to Mumbai, all the work was slick. The ticker-tape welcome climaxing in a rousing reception at the Wankhede Stadium for the team showed how much the BCCI had planned it in detail. Shah can take credit for being the leader. More images of Shah stand out, his presence in Paris 2024 where he met the International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach plus officials from the 2028 Los Angeles host committee. Cricket’s inclusion, again, in the Olympics is a big thing, and Shah was in the French capital as the BCCI secretary. At present, he is in Brisbane, engaged in talks with the organisers of the 2032 Olympics. For cricket to stay in the Olympic programme is important and Shah is already seen as proactive. For

those who may be tempted to make comparisons with his predecessors, whether in the BCCI or as ICC bosses like Shashank Manohar, Sharad Pawar and N Srinivasan, Shah is a young Turk. At 36, he has taken guard and looks set for a long innings.
