People's obsession with judging players merely with a list of goals or infact any stat, without proper context, irrespective of the sport, need to go. Cruyff scored 33 goals in just 48 appearances for Netherlands, 0.69 goals/match - more than anyone in this list.

Hello #CricketTwitter I need a help. Suggest me some good platforms/websites to regularly watch cricket in USA. Preferably low subscription rates or free, if any, with certain networks/Sim/carriers. I need it as a long term alternative, not just for one series/season.

I've been a Pujara fan ever since my childhood. A rare one of his kind who grew my interest my Test cricket over the years while giving life lessons through batsmanship & character. Resharing the only edit I ever tried to make. Thankyou for everything, @cheteshwar1 sir. 🙏❤️

Excluding 2021-22 (which was spread over two years unlike a "series"), the last Indian pacer to bowl more overs in a Test series than Mohammed Siraj's 185.3 overs in this series, was Javagal Srinath (212) and Zaheer Khan (188.1) in West Indies in 2002. #ENGvIND

When a 13-yr-old Washy was taken to MRF pace foundation for net session, coach Senthilnathan told Sundar that his son could get hit. But Sundar said, “leave it to him, he will manage.” Off the first ball, Washy played the Nataraja pull. 12 yrs later, Sundar must be a proud father
