Gianni Infantino surely cannot survive as FIFA president now. UEFA, AFC and CONCACAF have begun preliminary discussions about the possibility of organizing competitions among themselves to ensure that players can continue to compete - such as in the Women’s Under-20s World Cup which starts in less than a month - and are not impacted by the ongoing crisis surrounding Gianni Infantino.
The message from the three confederations to Infantino is very clear. He is being given the opportunity to resign and leave his position with dignity. He has the opportunity to go now and should not seek re-election in March. Because the pressure, the heat and the headlines are not going away. Change has to come. Infantino has to go.

Champions ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Phenomenal win for Team India in Ahmedabad. Absolutely no match for the explosive cricket played by us throughout the tournament. Brilliant character shown by the boys to keep fighting in tough situations and become world champions once again. Congratulations to all the players and all the members of the management for achieving this feat. Jai Hind 🇮🇳❤️
Rubbish. KKR owns the TKR in CPL and ADKR in IL T20.
Now go check how many Pakistanis players are in those teams. Fact is Pak loses to USA. Their three best players embarrasses in Big Bash. Why should someone be picked by nationality ?
NEW: Pakistan cricketers are not being considered by the 4 Indian-owned teams in The Hundred, sources have told BBC Sport. We’ve seen messages in which an ECB official indicated to an agent that interest in his Pakistan players was limited to non-IPL sides.

This is rubbish.
Guess which franchise controls the Trinidad and Tobago franchise in CPL. now go check how many Pakistani players have or are playing for that franchise.
Pakistan as a national team has lost to USA. Their three best players embarrassed themselves at even Big Bash
A number of sources have told the BBC that Pakistan cricketers are not being considered by Indian-owned sides for next month's Hundred auction.
Players from Pakistan have not featured in the Indian Premier League (IPL) since 2009 because of diplomatic tensions between the two countries.
Four of The Hundred's eight franchises - Manchester Super Giants, MI London, Southern Brave and Sunrisers Leeds - are now at least part-owned by companies that control IPL teams.
None of the four teams or ownership groups in question responded to requests for comment.

The PCB and BCB have demanded a tri-series with India. They should have demanded one with us, because we would have said 'yes' and provided a safe operating space on one of our lava fields for the matches. We are not into brinkmanship.

Changing winds
Delhi is changing fast . One of my junior's sister went to a date with a guy at Hauz khas whom she knows barely for 3 months .
Conversation after 15 mins
She : Do you follow politics
He : Yeah, of course
She : That's grt8 , I don't like it much
He : You should follow it , we Hindus need to unite
She : What
He : Yeah, we should vote modi always
She : What
After 1 min silence
She called a waiter and asked for a bill
She settled the bill
And Humbly asked boy , Donot call me ever and called him looser bro
The guy has been trying to contact her for 5 days, but the doors are closed permanently..

THE BIG FLAW in the “ margin story” of BJP’s 2019 win which right-wing TV anchors propagate as a very wide gap.
1) For instance, a margin of victory of 200,000 votes by a BJP candidate does not mean that the nearest competitor needs to win 200,000 votes more to win in 2024. They actually need 100,001 votes to win ( election votes are a zero sum game).
2) The margin required to win maybe even lower on account of lower voter turnout ( the reason BJP is in panic) this time.
3) Even a small anti-incumbency in a lower voter turnout election can totally upset the applecart. That seems to be happening.
4) The next two phases could see a huge upswing in opposition fortunes as the perception has shifted in favor of INDIA, which is seen as a potential winner.
Do share.

IS THIS A DEMOCRACY?
❌ Varanasi: @ShyamRangeela not allowed to contest elections against Modi
❌ Gandhinagar: 3 Candidates threatened and not allowed to contest against Amit Shah
❌ Surat: 8 candidates withdrew and seat won by BJP without any elections

Where did Virat even mention Gavaskar's name? There are literally 10+ other commentators and countless other unknown analysts like you who take dig at Kohli everyday.
Where did he say "those who had not played 15 years of IPL..."? You are literally putting words in his mouth.
Journalistic ethics gaya tel lene let's question Virat's ethics. You guys are just disgusting and pathetic.

This is a newspaper in Australia
Modi is bringing down the reputation of our whole country.
He must open with Jaiswal. Kohli can come at no 3
Sad reality of Indian Cricket
After winning Orange cap of 2023 and having a great 2024 IPL he will not be a part of World Cup 💔
Indian team gets selected on the basis of hype , branding , names instead of role clarity and recent performances
It's fine too ! Cricket is all about business at the end of the day , only people take it emotionally, not the organisation .
After T20 World Cup 21 thwre was so much Gaga new team , new faces , transition etc etc but the fact is almost the team will be same what it was 2 years ago .
The Asian mentality is like no one wants to leave the position , players should leave as soon as they think they are not upto the mark . It's nothing new , it dates back to 1980's .
No player wants to hang his boots , everyone wants to get trolled , boed , targetted in and out and then they leave ruining their own legacy .

Dear andh bhakts, waving the national flag on X, screeching "anti-national" and trending `boycott this' and `boycott that', will not solve India's tourism challenge. Why is there only one flight per day to Lakshwadeep? Does Karnataka's wondrous coastline-Gokarna, Marwante, have proper tourist infra and connectivity? Why shd Spain & Thailand get more tourists than India? Qs remain. #Lakshdweep #Maldives

🚨 An arab investment fund related to Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) would be ready to repay Elliott their €550M vendor loan+interest rate that was given to RedBird to complete the acquisition of Milan in the first months of 2024. Cardinale, being officially the majority shareholder of the club, could then sell his entire stake before the beginning of next season

Why would Dravid speak out when he got better of it due to the politicking
I respect cricketers who don't discuss dressing room feuds in public. Ever. During playing days or after retirement. Chahe coach ke saath jhagda ho ya captaincy ka tussle ho. Dhoni, Dravid, Kumble are three prominent stalwarts that come to mind. Fight with board, selectors, media all you want. Don't break the sanctity of your dressing room.

In a country with 101 Million+ people living with diabetes, our traditional breakfast options are terrible. Glucose spikes with poha, upma, dosa, idli, paratha, thepla are insane! Even the concept of pairing carb option with everything is problematic. Like - Dal chawal, roti sabzi. Psychologically, we cannot eat one without the other.
Tracking on a CGM for 6+ months was eye opening for me. Can share some data with food usually consumed & related glucose spike. I have them marked as “good”, “not very good” and “absolutely insane”

"Both side had very good ideas, but only one side lifted the cup." In which match is this not true? Only one side always wins no? It doesn't imply anything. Teams don't implement ideas. Cricket is not a corporate campaign. Somedays teams get better returns than others.
