Surprisingly tepid performance by SRH, who had batted with great gusto this season. Couldn’t chase down 206 tonite. The dreaded, in-form top order was driven to ill-advised excess. This is not to deny RCB credit though: for posting a 200-plus score, then defending it with spirit

Cricketwallah gives his take on a fiery knock by #RishabhPant , whether he is the front-runner for the #WorldCup , whether others like #SanjuSamson could play as a batter in the World Cup and the wobbly nature of #CSK ’s campaign.

Venkat Madala Cricketwallah Contest between the bat and scoreboard, as someone said.

What a finish! Looked all over for Gujarat after Miller’s dismissal but Rashid’s pyrotechnics brought them to the doorsteps of a win. Wasn’t to be, alas, but this contest, with both teams scoring 200-plus, spices up the IPL even further. 200 no longer safe score!

Birthday Mubarak Manoj!

I’m just gonna leave this right here for the fans to decide Chris Gayle 🤫

Who wouldn’t want #Pant in the T20 World Cup squad if he bats like this!?

A rare interview of my father Tom Alter from 2004 that I just stumbled upon on YouTube. Seems to be filmed in a studio between takes. Very insightful for those who want to know more about him.

One or both?
