As we head toward 'Azaadi Ka Amrit Kaal', let us remember the sacrifices of our freedom fighters and keep the growth engine turbocharged and bring energy and prosperity to all.
Indian toymakers are now exploring new markets, but they want govt to negotiate a trade deal with US soon, introduce incentives and subsidies to make the industry more competitive.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
Unless proved by winning tournaments off his bat or ball consistently no player can be called the greatest batsman or bowler. Greatest batsman has little value outside statistics unless embellished with what the team or country wants- the trophy. Kapil Dev scores in this respect with Steve Waugh and Dhoni. Sanjay Dixit gets it right when he puts Dhoni ahead of others by hitting winning post by scoring at crucial times. Had Kapil not scored against Zimbabwe when it mattered most and won the match for us from 17 for 5, there would have been no world cup for us in 1983. Captaincy itself is measured how good you are when chips are down and able to make the team believe they can still win. Steve Waugh, Dhoni and Kapil come in that category. Kohli is well equipped to join the group but has a long way to go. Somebody can be called the Greatest, if he beats Bradman’s record of a century off 22 balls in any form of cricket!

Only conceited Indians can make this into a debate between kohli and Tendulkar, completely forgetting that more than 1 country plays cricket. The best ODI batsman is Ricky Ponting. Ofcourse silly Indians will remain content with a Mumbai Vs Delhi debate and lose sight of the number of World Cup titles Aus have won. Terribly myopic and self-aggrandizing. Indians could never look beyond Tendulkar, and now they ll deify Kohli – who failed both at WC and Champs Trophy
Ricky Ponting is a wonderful batsman for sure and your opinion on him being the GOAT is not too farfetched. Though I dont think the whole number of titles thing is applicable in your defense of him being the best batsman , he did contribute his share but what about that team!!? , he was playing in probably the Greatest ODI team of all time while sachin had to play in a good team, still mediocre at best given how other teams were performing. Moreover its his consistency and adaptability as he aged which puts him right at the top and this is not owing to the fact that he was termed the GOAT by “myopic” Indians. The man deserves better. Have you seen the rest of the Aussie greats play before considering Ponting the best? Besides if you wanna put stats count like titles into the debate, why dont you check on the batting stats. Oh right maybe you are one of those myopic Indians.
