We all love a sports icon, but what happens when one name overshadows the whole team? In this piece, we take a heartfelt look at Virat Kohli, sports stardom, and why no one—not even the best—should be bigger than the game itself. A read for anyone who believes in sport for sport’s sake.

Glory lights one face,
but the field holds many dreams—
don’t forget the game.

Unpopular opinion/suggestion, but should we add Virat Kohli to the folks to be rotated out of the team?

Why is Team India so rigid with the selection? Couldn't we have tried a few options in place of Dube, SKY, and maybe Siraj?

From a deluded obsession with superstars over substance, Indian cricket must undergo an identity overhaul back to its sacred pursuit of team excellence and world domination across formats. This is a wake-up call to slay the cult of toxic individualism sabotaging championship glory - https://abeautifulmess.substack.com/p/cricketainment-indias-toxic-obsession

Shatters vain
delusions of fame
Teamwork conquers all

SRH clobbered MI to score a whopping 277 in 20 overs - https://www.iplt20.com/match/2024/1361. This is THE opportunity for Rohit Sharma to prove why he is (should be) Team India's T20 captain for the upcoming T20 World Cup.

Let's go, Mumbai!

Awaits redemption

Congratulations, #Australia on winning yet another #ICC trophy.

#TeamIndia faltered on so many fronts, and I am SO frustrated that I don't feel like listing anything now. In time, once I feel better and come out of the depressing feeling, maybe I will write up something... but, for now... it just SUCKS!!!
