Cricket is among the most competitive team sports that are being played around the world. We have witnessed some legends and genius gracing the game with their beautiful skills.

While giving us the joy of watching them, these players have alongside created some records that we believe no one will ever be able to break.

So let us have a look at some of these records which are there to stay in this game of ours forever:

1) Sir Don Bradman’s average.

2) Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 200 test matches.

Seeing the dominance of the other formats over test cricket, it is highly unlikely that any other player will be able to play so many matches.

3) Jim Laker’s 19 wickets in a test match.

It is a very rare feat for anyone to achieve. This is a record that is here to stay.

4) 3 consecutive World Cup win (Australia).

Source

With such circumstances it is highly unlikely that any team will dominate like Australia did and will win 3 consecutive world cup finals or more.

5) 800 test wickets for Muralidharan.

Source

For any bowler to achieve such a feat he has to stay fit over a long period of time and considering the modern day game’s demand the record is not likely to be broken.

6) The shortest test match.

Australia and South Africa played a test match in early 90’s which lasted for just 5 hours and 53 minutes. South Africa was bowled out for 36 in the first innings and Australia replied with a total of 153.

But, SA again failed with bat in the second innings and got out for just 45 runs.

7) Highest score playing at number 10 in a test match.

Walter Read, playing at number 10 for England scored 117 runs with 20 boundaries. His gritty innings helped England draw the test match.

Scoring a hundred playing at number 10 is not very popular and is really hard to break as most number 10 now days are sloggers and not the one to grind it out.

Although these are some unbreakable records but we someday wish that someone comes and breaks them so we have a moment to savior.

Sourav Ganguly, the man who taught Indian cricket team how to fight, the man who instilled the belief in every Indian cricketer that they can win, no matter who the opposition is.

Dada took the captaincy when Indian team was hovering under the dark clouds of spot fixing. He put this all aside and focused on winning. He made his own team by backing young players and making them champions.

Under Dada India used to beat England, Australia, New Zealand and Pakistan in their own home towns. Well, here are some incidents which prove that no matter what happens, no one will ever be able to match the awesomeness of Dadagiri.

1) When Steve Waugh was made to wait for the toss.

Source

India won that series 2-1, defeating Australia in Australia is a very rare feat and that Indian team did so. A lot of credit must be given to Dada for the way he led us and showed his Dadagiri.

Later in his autobiography Waugh himself revealed that he was a bit ruffled up by that whole incident.

2) Removing the shirt at Lord’s balcony.

Few months before this, Andrew Flintoff removed his shirt and celebrated victory at Wankhede. DADA was not the one to take the insult and sit back. In the Natwest series final, India chased a huge target and DADA responded by waving off his shirt from the Lord’s balcony.

He was much criticized for this but he never backed down and said if LORDS is England’s home than Wankhede is my home.

3) The Greg Chappell Incident.

Source

Once he was sacked, a journalist asked Sourav Ganguly whether the coach owes an apology to Indian cricket team to which DADA replied, “He can call Sachin or Dravid but he dare not dial my number, if he is hearing this on TV, he dare not call Sourav Ganguly.”

The height of Dadagiri.

4) When he told Ravi Shastri who is Bengal’s favorite.

Source

To this Dada said, “The whole ground belongs to me.”

The incident proved that DADA is not the one to sledge or mess around with.

5) DADA being the king behind the mic as well.

Sourav was quick to understand Nasser’s intention behind the question and replied, “If India had played football for 50 years they would have qualified at least once for the finals.”

Hussain got the taste of Dadagiri behind the mic.

It is the bases of our personality but broadly people can be categorized under one of the two things.

Below we discuss the categories under which we can try to place people:

• Those who love getting drenched in the rain and those who fear catching cold

Rain is beautiful, isn’t it? Well, not for everyone. While some people love to get drenched in rain other prefer to stay inside.

More or less, it reflects the mindset of people, some people are more open to enjoy the nature and have an extroverted mindset while others refrain and are more gathered in their thoughts.

• Those who fascinates gazing at stars and those who prefer having a sleep.

This says a lot about people. While some prefer to have a sleep in night others, who think a lot, prefer staying awake.

Gazing at stars, while having thoughts of your own is not everyone’s cup of tea, people prefer to keep the night for sleep and do the thinking in the morning.

• Those who prefer career over love and those who prefer it other way around.

Career v/s Love, a never ending discussion. It is a dilemma that everyone has to face one day in their life.

A career opportunity for which you have to leave someone you love or staying together with someone and living the same way you are used to.

We are all defined by our choices.

• Those who love exploring the inner world and those who love exploring the outer world.

There are people who love travelling and exploring different places in the world, those who love to go out and meet other people and then there are those who just sit back and meet themselves.
They reflect on their decisions, on their life and their relations. Very few people are able to do so but doing such a thing actually defines how successful you will be.

• Those who are in love and those who are in lust.

What more can be said of love? Love has already been discussed in lengths by almost everyone. But how much of it do we learn practically?

We ourselves don’t know whether we love someone or just like someone. This is another category of two types of people.

Most of us, in our young days, are in lust. We call the attraction that we have towards someone, love. As one matures and makes sacrifices to stay, go through the boring days and still want to be together, that is what actual love is.

Maybe it’s not two kinds of people. May be its two personalities engulfed in a single being. We all change with age, with time and the situations we face. May be it’s a case of split personality we all suffer in one way or the other.

Do we really know who we are? May be or maybe not.

Engineering, a term that has been at least talked about in every Indian family, if not pursued. Engineering is no longer just a four-year rigorous ride with amazing experiences, it is an emotion, an emotion that only those understand who get to live it.

But movie directors all around the world have tried to capture those emotions, those feelings and those memories. Many movies have been made which depict the life of an engineering student or the movies to which an engineering student can relate to.

Let us have a look at some of those movies that every engineer must watch:

1) 3 Idiots

Source

It teaches us not just to cram but to learn, to run after excellence and most important of all to pursue your passion. That conversation between Farhan and his Dad is a conversation every one of those middle class guys wants to have with his father but can’t.

2) Chhichhore

Source

The movie depicts the life of 6 losers who even after losing were proudly able to call themselves champions because of their efforts and hard work.

The movie tells us to realize the importance of journey and prepare ourselves for any setbacks that might come.

3) Wake up Sid

Soorce

He meets a writer and his life changes around for good as he learns the importance of standing on his own legs even after he failed his college.

4) Rang De Basanti

They come to terms with how much needs to be changed and they start acting on it. The story id gripping and leaves a very powerful message. A must watch movie.

5) F.A.L.T.U.

Source

It shows the pressure that is built on children every day and how much of it finally matters.

6) Main Hoon Na

Source

Main Hoon Na gives us a message to be what we truly are and to present ourselves in the same way. It teaches us the value of trust on bonds and emotions.

Well, the lists in endless but these are some of the movies that send us on a nostalgic ride every time we watch them and gives us an important message which helps us to get through life a little better.
