Well played Jadeja! 😉

Simply put, Pakistan just played a near perfect game of cricket. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Not often do you see Pakistan’s bowling brilliance matched by their fielding. Happened today! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I have always considered commentary as a great privilege, but never an entitlement. It is up to my employers whether they choose to have me or not & I will always respect that. Maybe BCCI has not been happy with my performance of late. I accept that as a professional.

Ha ha… and your dear friend looking forward to seeing you on the field soon :)

When Virat got to his 100. He had only 36 runs in boundaries. Bulk of the runs came through sheer hard running between the wickets. In hot conditions not too many batters can pull that off. Virat’s fitness is a huge part of his greatness! It’s like no other batting great!!🙏🙏🙏

950 international wickets in one frame. Glen - 949 Me - 1

Pujara! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

For a man who got almost a 1000 runs in one IPL season at a SR of 150 to get a Test hundred with just 5 fours in it shows the depth of Virat the batter! One of the mentally toughest batters ever!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Pakistan’s strength - Top class bowling attack. In Afridi and Rauf they have two of the best T20 fast bowlers in the world. Spinners who can bat. Shadab being one of the best T20 all rounders in the world.

When the Pakistan cricket team wins like this on a big stage, it’s not just beating the opposition, it’s also beating all the odds stacked against them. 👏👏👏

Australia have 9 Test match regulars in their one day side. India have 10. Both teams in the finals. Shows 50 overs cricket, as a format, is closer to Tests than T20s.

Slowly and steadily he comes into form over the last few weeks and now reaches his pinnacle on the big stage like true champs do! Well done Virat! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

What is Rohit Sharma’s greatest quality?Sure, there is that ability to play the big shots effortlessly, but above all, what I really admire is his selflessness as top order batter & leader 🙏🙏🙏

Has to be one of the best T20 games I have commentated on! Asia cup and T20 cricket as a format gets a massive boost!

Met Lata Mangeshkar twice in my life. Always touched her feet. No other gesture seemed right. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Well done Mumbai!

If there was any team that had the ability to stop India’s winning run. It was England. Dhoni’s approach in the last few overs however was baffling. 🤔

Hats off to Indian fans in Ahmedabad! Huge cheer & applause when Rohit Sharma’s name was announced at the post match. Sporting fans will always help create great teams! 👏👏👏

My heart went out to Dhoni speaking to him in the post match, he seemed really heartbroken. Never seen him like that before.

Pant is playing great Test innings for fun these days! Hats off!

Imran is the epitome of setting the bar high and reaching it. Congratulations & good luck to my cricketing hero, Imran Khan!

Last night we saw an event that’s never happened before in 146 years! Tonight this! Maxwell!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Sam Curran, what a champ! 👏👏👏

Thrilled that my record of 377 was beaten by a batter I adore! Well done Prithvi! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

So what’s Bazball? Well, it’s how Rishabh Pant has been playing in his last 31 Tests.

Seemingly impossible that only Jadeja the fielder could have made possible. Not just the accuracy of the throw but the sheer speed of the throw was the key to that run out. Absolutely brilliant! 👏👏👏

Trying to predict Indian team for the semis. Let’s see how many I get right. Do send yours too. Will retweet a few. Rohit Rahul Virat Pant Hardik Dhoni Jadeja Bhuvi Shami Kuldeep* Bumrah. *If pitch is not a turner.

Only if you predicted a 2-1 result in favour of Ind before series began do you have the right to have a go at the foreign experts who had written Ind off. Let’s focus on a great Indian cricket triumph! Not attack respectable cricketers who went as per cricket logic.

Person from NASA has come to fix my WiFi.

Greater possibility of Samson hitting a six in that form than new batsman in Morris hitting a four. Right call by Samson to keep strike last ball I thought.

Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar and now Virat Kohli, amazing all time great batsmen that the Indian waters keep producing. 🙏 Many happy returns Virat!

India needs a no 4 & 5 who is from the Virat mould of batting. One who can score at a strike rate of 80/90 even when building an innings, taking zero risks by putting balls in the gaps & running the hard singles & twos.

And guys, that’s a wrap on what’s been a fantastic World Cup! Thanks so much for your company & also for the love, even if it may have come in bits and pieces.😉

Sorry to say, but anyone that picks Abhishek Sharma, Virat Singh and Abdul Samad all together in one playing XI does not deserve to win.

I see that Rishabh Pant does some cheeky interviews along with playing cheeky shots. 😂

There is just one reason that CSK is so successful in IPL and that reason is MS Dhoni.

Rohit Sharma, Rahul Dravid & Ajit Agarkar are your people with absolute integrity. So happy that they had something to show in the end! My heart goes out to them. 🙏🙏🙏

Talent koot koot ke bhara hai is bande mein. Hardik Pandya take a bow! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Very gracious of KL Rahul to say Surya had a bigger impact on the game. Grace in everything he does! 😊

India under Virat in NZ reminds me of Pakistan under Imran. Strong self belief as a team. Pakistan under Imran found different ways of winning matches, often from losing positions. That only happens when the self belief is strong.

They are not in the semis but Pakistan punched above their weight in this WC. Hope they are made to feel that way when they return home.

Best T20 batter in the world today? Look no further than Surya Kumar Yadav!

Defending 119 v Pak, beating Aus convincingly, hammering Eng in semis, India’s advent into the finals was also damn impressive! Winning the finals was the much needed cherry on top! 👏👏👏🙇🙇🙇

Siraj seriously pushing Shami for that Bumrah spot in the squad.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I wasn’t doing commentary on Indian cricket today, I was gushing over Indian cricket today! 👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Respectfully disagree with Gavaskar Sir with his views on Indian selectors & Virat being retained as capt. No, Ind did not put in a ‘much below par WC performance’, they won 7 lost two. Last one very narrowly. And integrity a far more important quality as selector than stature.

Hats off to Sri Lanka! Won the finals against heavy odds - Losing the toss and batting first. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Had Sanju Samson got a blazing 100 in 80 balls, you would have said well done Sanju! But that he came into bat in the 5th over & got his 100 in the 44th over & played to the team needs, seemingly against his nature, my admiration for Samson has grown considerably today! 👏👏👏

That was the best amongst all brilliant Dhoni stumpings I have seen! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Dear coaches, train your batsmen at the non strikers end, to keep watching the bowler till he releases the ball. Mankading is a legitimate mode of dismissal. Be wary of it. As far as ‘spirit’is concerned, that’s for after the game, that you can pour in your glass.😋

After the first game I said there is a big gap between Ind & Pak these days. The gap remained in this match. Just the other way round.😉

Saw another facet of Virat Kohli’s batting greatness tonight. The ability to rise from a batting low to finish on an absolute high! All during the course of one T20 innings. And once he was back in control, ensured that he was there to take the team over the line. 👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏

Hats off to Hardik! 🙏🙏🙏

Never seen our stats machine like this!!!! What a start by India! SIRAJ!

Shreyas Iyer may have come of age in Test cricket with that innings! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

100 TV channels in our hotels in England, but no WC cricket on any of the channels. Strange land this...England.
