No one gets off the mark with a boundary as often as #SuryakumarYadav
— Rohit Tikmany (@some_rohit) August 31, 2022
99% sure that his first ball SR is better than any other batter in the formats/leagues he plays.
And more often that not that boundary is behind square on the leg side. #IndvsHkg #AsiaCupT20
So, @ashwinravi99 equals Murali for most PoTS awards. He's the top 10 list along with frequency of PoTS wins.

Is he India's greatest test cricketer ahead of Sachin, Dravid, Kumble, Kapil, etc?#indvsbangladesh #INDvsBAN pic.twitter.com/v3YpMJFCUW
From a Whatsapp group called CricGeeks in Jan 2023@MdShami11 is India's greatest ODI bowler of all time.
— Rohit Tikmany (@some_rohit) November 16, 2023
Yes. Ahead of Bumrah & everyone else. pic.twitter.com/XpTqsJ3lzu
5th or 6th best red/white ball attack in intl cricket till 2010. Kapil, Zak, Bhajji, Kumble, Ishant, Srinath, Pathan, Agarkar all factored in
— Rohit Tikmany (@some_rohit) September 17, 2023
At least 2nd best now
Jaddu & Ash came 13y ago
Then Shami in 2013
Later Boom, Siraj, & Kul-Cha
This is the golden age of Indian bowling
Harsha's command over language, the smoothness of delivery, & knowledge of the game is impeccable. But his skills in calling the big moments using the most effective words & delivering it with the most effective emotion have been underwhelming. For eg, Kohli 's 18.5 & 18.6 shots. https://t.co/0yZ8SS4fPW

In the last 4 yrs, @root66 has torn away from the fab 4.
— Rohit Tikmany (@some_rohit) October 9, 2024
His runs > the next 2 (KW & Smith) combined.
Kohli, of course, has slumped dramatically.
Will turn 34 in December. A few more yrs still to go
Sachin's record is in danger which prompted 👇 chat in our cricket group 😂 pic.twitter.com/rFnOUItTaR
Fastest to 500 Test wickets (in terms of deliveries)

Wkts in each IPL year by @yuzi_chahal

2019 18 (#2 spinner)
2020 21 (top spinner)
2021 18 (top spinner)
2022 27 (purple cap)
2023 10 (in 4 games)
People don't take him seriously because he's relatively frail, affable & jocular
But he's been an IPL star for 5 yrs now#CSKvsRR
Hardik almost lost the chase. When India needed 86 in 48, he was 28(16) & Virat was 22(26)
— Rohit Tikmany (@some_rohit) October 23, 2022
Virat made 60 in 27
Hardik: Only 12 in 21
Totally lost his shape.
Couldn't score off short balls outside off.
He'll need to sort that part of his batting quickly.#INDvPAK
India has won 102 ODIs chasing with @imVkohli in the XI.
— Rohit Tikmany (@some_rohit) October 22, 2023
He has been dismissed for less than 30 in only 28 of those.
Makes a 92-ball-90 on an average
🤯
The illustrious list of debutant spinners who trouble India in a home test.

Hauritz did play a few more series, but the others weren't seen after the India series.
Why does this keep happening? 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️#ENGvsIND #ENGvIND pic.twitter.com/faY05xiYj0
DreRuss has both
— Rohit Tikmany (@some_rohit) May 24, 2024
the highest batting SR (minimum 1000 IPL runs)
*and*
the lowest bowling SR (minimum 50 wickets)
in IPL history.
2.5K runs @ 175
112 wickets @ 15@Russell12A is the real IPL GOAT 🐐
The king #ViratKohli is well & truly back after his pandemic slump.
— Rohit Tikmany (@some_rohit) October 8, 2023
Look at his batting average across formats in international cricket.#WorldCup2023 #INDvAUS pic.twitter.com/VIYVuqVuke
At this point, keeping @sarfarazkhan977 at the 1st class level instead of Tests, is unfair not only to him, but also to other first class bowlers.
— Rohit Tikmany (@some_rohit) October 2, 2024
How's it fair to pit F2 drivers against an F1 guy?
And who's keeping him out?
Mr-52-tests-at-under-35-avg KLR? 🤷🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️#IraniCup
Cricketers are generally called by their family names (Gavaskar, Dhoni, Ponting, Lara, Kohli, etc) except when its a generic one (Kumar, Sharma, etc.) or when their name doesn't come first (Laxman, Azhar, etc)
— Rohit Tikmany (@some_rohit) April 24, 2023
Its probably just endearment that makes people call him only #Sachin
In their last 33 ODIs across the last 4 ODI WCs, India have lost only 4 games.
— Rohit Tikmany (@some_rohit) October 29, 2023
2011: 1 group game against SAF
2015: SF against AUS
2019: 1 league game against Eng + SF against NZ
1 washed away.
1 tie.
27 wins.#IndiaVsEngland #WorldCup2023india #WorldCup2023
One of our greats!

Dhawan's injury after 2 games was the single biggest reason we couldn't win the 2019 world cup.
He was in prime form & England was always his happy hunting ground. He's still the only Indian apart from Rohit to score 500+ ODI runs in England @ 60+ https://t.co/XtOTx7nYSa
