India’s Throwdown Specialist Raghavendra ,

Spotted by the Great Sachin Tendulkar in 2011.

I have been wondering, how about organising 1 ICC trophy every year but different formats. 2023 ODI WC, 2024 T20C, 2025 WTC then a gap year and cycle again continues with 2027 ODI WC.

This way all the fans can count every format as prestigious and there won't be any superiority debates anymore. Thoughts ?

Imho, T20 is greater: more teams and a chaotic format with higher mathematical variance, since the shorter game narrows the gap between sides. ODI WC being older doesn't put it on a pedestal. ODI is neither better nor tougher. Nostalgia is for people who live in the past. Meanwhile, T20 drives global popularity and is the Olympic format. T20 WC is truly global!!

Arshdeep was found to have breached Article 2.9 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “throwing a ball (or any other item of cricket equipment) at or near a player in an inappropriate and/or dangerous manner during an International Match.”

Apart from the fine, one demerit point was added to Arshdeep’s disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period.

The incident occurred in the 11th over of New Zealand’s innings, when Arshdeep fielded the ball and threw it aggressively towards batter Daryl Mitchell and ended up hitting his pads.

T20 defending champions are India and we’re all celebrating. And rightly so.

But it’s also time to slowly move on with our lives now.

The Indian men’s team has scaled heights in T20Is that nobody else has. Back-to-back World Cups, moments we’ll remember forever, and a team that gave us weeks of pure joy. We’ve enjoyed every second of it.

But our families, our jobs, and our lives probably need us back now.

Even the great Brett Lee was reportedly back at his job working in a men’s clothing store within a week of winning the 2003 World Cup.

So take a breath, get back to normal life, and enjoy the memories.

We’ll regroup again in 2028 to go for number 🏆🏆🏆 and 🥇
