Twitter Erupts With Jokes As Rohit’s Childhood Coach Backs Virat To Break Sachin’s Record

Sachin Tendulkar, the legendary former Indian cricketer, has numerous records in his name with many of them seem impossible to be broken including the record of the highest number of centuries in the international cricket. Sachin has 100 international centuries in his name – 51 test centuries and 49 ODI centuries and his fans firmly believe that this record will never get broken by anyone in the future. However, once Sachin himself has stated that there are only two cricketers who may break this record – Indian skipper Rohit Sharma and former Indian skipper Virat Kohli.

While Rohit Sharma has scored 41 international centuries till now, Virat Kohli has scored 70 centuries to his name and till 2 years back, everyone used to believe that Virat Kohli would definitely break Sachin’s record. Virat is going through a lean patch and he hasn’t scored a century in any format for more than two years now. In fact, his performance in the IPL 2022 was also below par and many former cricketers including the former head coach of the Indian team Ravi Shastri advised him to take a break from cricket.

Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have been rested and won’t be playing in the 5-match T20I series against South Africa. In these tough times, Dinesh Lad, the childhood coach of Rohit Sharma, has come out in support of Virat Kohli and asked the Delhi batsman to end his career with more international centuries than Little Master.

In an interview, Dinesh Lad states that Virat Kohli is just going through a lean phase and every cricketer goes through it. He further adds that even great cricketers like Sunil Gavaskar and Sir Viv Richards have gone through that. As per Dinesh Lad, Kohli is a great batsman and he firmly believes that he will soon make a strong comeback. Talking about Virat’s form, the coach states that the problem is with the mental aspect of Kohli and not with his form, he should work and focus on the mental aspect of the game. Lad further says that he wants Virat to break Little Master’s record.


Virat Kohli’s fans were quite happy to see Rohit Sharma’s childhood coach supporting Virat but some found Dinesh Lad’s statement a little funny and they expressed themselves in a hilarious manner. Check out some of the selected reactions:

Few even gave their reasons as to why they think that Virat won’t be able to score more centuries than Sachin:

There is no denying the fact that Virat Kohli has contributed immensely towards the Indian cricket and time will tell whether he scores more centuries than Sachin Tendulkar or not but he will always be known as the greatest of all times.

Sanju Samson Pulls Hetmyer’s Leg During Speech, His Reaction Will Leave You In Splits

The IPL team Rajasthan Royals had a great campaign in the IPL 2022 and though it lost the finals to Gujarat Titans still the manner in which it performed in this season has impressed every cricket fan. RR didn’t get the chance of entering the play-offs, leave aside reaching the finals because for the last couple of seasons, it was at the bottom of the points table.

Sanju Samson was appointed as the skipper of RR in the year 2021 after the franchise decided to release its former skipper Steve Smith and it won’t be wrong to say that Sanju has developed a lot as a leader in just two seasons. Sanju Samson was praised a lot for his captaincy, batting as well as wicket-keeping and there was a huge uproar when he was not selected for the T20I series against South Africa as fans believed that he should have been in the team after such a good performance in the IPL 2022.

The magnificent manner in which RR performed in the league can be understood by the fact that both Orange cap holder and Purple cap holder were from the Rajasthan team. RR batter Jos Buttler was the highest run getter of the tournament as he scored 863 runs in the 17 matches plus record of hitting the most number of sixes and fours in this season is also in his name which has made him the most suitable candidate for the Most Valuable Player award. Yuzvendra Chahal, RR spinner, won the Purple cap award as he took 27 wickets in the tournament.

Recently a video was posted on the official Twitter handle of RR in which Sanju Samson was seen giving a speech in front of his teammates and other support staff. The RR skipper thanked everyone including Kumar Sangakkara – Director of cricket, RR, his teammates and the support staff but he also pulled leg of his teammate Shimron Hetmyer for having dinner at that time. Sanju Samson said that he might have made some bad decisions but he must have taken some good decisions as well and he is certainly growing as a leader.

He thanked everyone for supporting him in the decisions taken by him and in the end, he pulled Shimron Hetmyer’s leg by saying, “And Hettie, thanks for eating that dinner while I am giving a great speech.”

The expression given by Shimron Hetmyer was really funny and it left everyone in splits.

Steve Smith Was Offered 6 Times More Money To Play For England When He Was 18 But He Rejected

Steve Smith, the Australian cricketer and the former skipper of team Australia, turned 33 yesterday (June 2) and on this special day, social media was obviously flooded with birthday wishes for him. Though he is considered as one of the greatest of all times, his career was also full of ups and downs, the sandpapergate being the lowest moment of his life and career.

Steve Smith made his international debut in the year 2010 and since then, he has played 85 test matches, 128 ODIs and 54 T20Is in which he has scored 8010 runs, 4378 runs and 886 runs, respectively. While he has given many memorable moments to his Australian cricket fans, you will be surprised to know that he had the opportunity to play for England too and even more amazingly, he would have earned 6 times more but he declined the offer because he wanted to play for Australia.

Steve Smith has made this interesting revelation in his autobiography “The Journey” and we have to admit that huge courage is needed to refuse the attractive offer which was given to Steve Smith. However, let us make this clear to you that the cricketer holds both Australian and England passports which makes him eligible to play cricket for England as well.

Steve Smith wrote in his book that this incident happened when he was just 18 years old. He got a call from the former English cricketer Alan Butcher who offered him a three-year deal worth 30K pounds/ year to play for the English county team Surrey. On the other hand, the contract which was offered to Steve Smith by Cricket New South Wales was worth AUD 12K only.

If Steve Smith had accepted the lucrative offer from Alan Butcher, he would have represented England at the international level. Nevertheless, money wasn’t on the first spot in the priority list of the cricketer and he always wanted to play for his home country Australia.

Steve Smith has written that it was definitely a huge amount for an 18 years old boy and if money had been the criteria for making the choice, there was no competition but he chose to fulfill his dream of playing for Australia.

“Coach Changed, Captain Changed But It’s Constant”, England Trolled On Losing 5 Wkts For 8 Runs

The men’s cricket teams of England and New Zealand are playing against each other in the 3-match test series which is being played under the ICC World Test Championship 2021-23 and the first test of the series is underway at the Lord’s.

The toss was won by the visitors and they decided to bat first but their batters were not able to put up a good show as the English pacers James Anderson and Matty Potts tore apart the Kiwi batting line up. While the highly experienced James Anderson sent 4 batters back to the pavilion, the debutant Matty Potts also proved his selection correct by taking 4 wickets in the first innings of New Zealand.

The visitors could manage only 132 runs in their first innings and in response, England started well as its openers Alex Lees (25 runs) and Zak Crawley (43 runs) put up a partnership of 59 run for the first wicket and there was a time when England was going strong at 92/2 but then it lost 5 wickets for 8 runs as its seventh wicket fell on the score of 100. The first day of the test match ended with England at the score of 116/7 and the English fans were quite unhappy with the manner in which things folded out towards the end of the day.

The English cricket team has been performing in a disappointing manner for past some time and it won’t be wrong to say that other than Joe Root, no other English batsman has been able to score much for the team if we look at the last few matches. Ben Stokes who has been appointed as the new skipper of the team also failed in this match as he got out after scoring just 1 run.

Many Twitter users trolled the team management, England cricketers, etc. for the team’s poor performance and some even said that the captain changed, the coach changed but one thing that remains constant for England is disgraceful batting. Some online users especially from India stated that now the former England cricketers will blame the IPL for their poor batting performance.

Here are few selected tweets:

Though the bowlers have bowled very well but the batters should have shown more resistance and patience because this is certainly not test cricket. What do you say?

Sourav Ganguly Quashed Resignation Rumours After His Cryptic Tweet Sparked Meme Fest

Sourav Ganguly, the former Indian cricketer and the current President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), is one of the most popular personalities of India and he enjoys a huge fan following across the country. Dada, as his fans love to call him, is also one of the most successful skippers of the Indian team and in his illustrious career of 16 years, he played 113 test matches and 311 ODIs for the country in which he scored 7212 runs and 11363 runs, respectively. He was such a wonderful player of off-side that he was also called the God of Off-side apart from being famously known as the Maharaja of Indian cricket.

Recently, Sourav Ganguly took to the micro-blogging site Twitter and made a tweet in which he wrote that 2022 is his 30th year since he started his journey of cricket and the game has given him a lot including the love and support of his fans who supported him and helped him in achieving whatever he has achieved today. He adds that he is planning to do something which will be helpful for a lot of people and he also asked for the continued support of his fans.

This is what Ganguly posted, “2022 marks the 30th year since the start of my journey with cricket in 1992. Since then, Cricket has given me a lot. Most importantly, it has given me the support of all of you. I want to thank every single person who has been a part of the journey, supported me, and helped me reach where I am today. Today, I am planning to start something that I feel will probably help a lot of people. I hope you continue your support as I enter this chapter of my life.”

Soon, there were speculations that Sourav Ganguly is going to resign from the post of the BCCI President and he is going to join politics and all this sparked a hilarious meme fest on Twitter. Check out some of the selected reactions:

However, all the rumours were laid to rest as the BCCI secretary Jay Shah made it clear that Sourav Ganguly is not resigning from his post.

There were few who were of the opinion that this tweet is a marketing gimmick and soon they were proved correct as Sourav Ganguly supported an ed-tech startup which would enable educators and skill-based content creators.

Sourav Ganguly made a post with the caption, “Share my new initiative with all the educators, teachers, and coaches and give me an opportunity to help them grow. Link in bio. I am thankful to ClassplusApps for helping me with this.”

His post read, “I have been getting a lot of questions about my previous post. For a while, I have been thinking about one group of people that has been helping our society selflessly and making India greater every day. IPL gave us amazing players but what inspires me, even more, is the amount of sweat and blood the coaches of all these players put in for their success. This is not just true for Cricket but all other fields like Academics, Football, Music, etc as well. I am fortunate to get all the coaches who made me what I am today.”

His post further read, “For ages, we have been glorifying actors, players and successful CEOs for the remarkable work they have done. It is time that we glorify the true heroes, their COACHES and EDUCATORS. I want to do something for all the coaches, educators and teachers across the world. Starting today, I will actively support all of them by being their ambassador. I am thankful to Classplus for helping me with my vision. I hope this new initiative helps them all. #DadaSupports Sourav Ganguly”
