Rahul Dravid with Sunil Gavaskar  I suppose that was easy to answer, the next one would be a little tougher to answer for sure  . That is the correct answer. This photograph is from 1987, I don't know the location or the occasion where it was taken. Two legends of cricket for every Indian cricket fan. Both are still active, we can still here Sunil Gavaskar from the commentary box. Rahul Dravid is the coach of the Indian team playing the World Cup 2023. I did some calculation to find Rahul Dravid's age in 1987. He is 50 now and this picture was taken 36 years back, naturally he was a 14 year old kid in 1987. |

I am starting a small contest on this thread. Everyday I will be asking a question related to India cricket. The person who gives the first right answer will be awarded 1 merit from my sMerits kitty. There is only one rule, those who have been active on the local board for the last 15 days can only participate. Identity both individuals in this picture
Please answer within 24 hours after the creation of this post. |

England playing against Bangladesh is a disaster for the bong brothers. The way English batters are batting is not looking good, they still have plenty of wickets in hand. They need 2 runs to reach 300 and have 100 overs still to play. If the bat aggressively from now on they would beat South Africa's record of 428 runs in this World Cup. This match is being totally dominated by England.

Not a good start for Bangladesh, at this rate England would surpass the 300-run mark by the end of the 50th over. They need a wicket ASAP or they won't be able to control the run flow. Good start from England after they lost to the Kiwis they would want to win this match. They are one of the favorite teams in this World Cup. Both openers are looking comfortable against the Bangladesh bowling attack.
The next match of today is the one I am personally waiting to watch. Pakistan would like to defeat Srilanka to avenge their defeat in the Asia Cup. Srilanka is not looking good in the tournament, they are at the bottom of the point table. If they do not win today then they would be in trouble.

Converting local fiat to Bitcoin prevents the value to depreciate in USD. When a country goes to war it's currency starts to depreciate gradually. In such scenarios the wealth of its citizens starts to depreciate, most cases the rich and affluent start converting thier local money to USD. For a common person that is not an easy task that is why it would be wise to invest in Bitcoin.

After watching the match between Australia and India I don't feel like watching any other match. Unless it's a Pakistani or if it's an Indian match. Today Newzealand takes on Netherlands, expecting a one sided game. Mostly dominated by the Kiwis because they are way better than their counterparts. The team that wins the toss would choose to bat first in Hyderabad. If the Kiwis bat first then they would try to get as many runs they can on the scoreboard. If Netherlands bats first then they would have to survive the Kiwis bowling attack.

2/3 Lmao, 3 golden ducks !! Why does it feel like another knockout now?
Okay, all are in good form but ffs just see off the new ball and try to spend some time first or at least pretend. Now below par score looking big and it's just a start.
----------
5/3 scoreline reminds me of, India playing against Kiwi's attack lol
Shreyas Iyer was stupid enough to hit that shot. He, being an experienced batter should know that the ball is not coming to the bat. He should have watched the dismissal of Ishan Kishan, Rohit was unlucky I felt that the ball was missing the wicket while it wasn't. Kohli and Rahul for now are playing well, Kohli did get frustrated and hit a careless loft which was dropped. I hope these two just think about taking the ones and two and whenever they get an oddball hit it for four or six. This wicket is now giving assistance to both pacers and spinners, not that easy to bat. I am now seeing the match getting snatched from the hands of Australia. India were once 2/3, wherein they had 2 runs on the board and lost three wickets. This fourth wicket partnership is an absolute nightmare for Australia. Virat Kohli and KL Rahul have destroyed Australia, an absolute thriller match after 3 dominated matches. Plenty of overs left, Australia can come back while these two are busy playing their natural game of ODI cricket. |

Spin trio spinning the web!
Now India should go for the kill and wrap up Aussie tail, don't want to see their tail wagging and dragging the game. Just take out the last 3 wickets as soon as possible with minimum damage, it will strengthen the run rate game. You never know what might happen as the tournament progresses.
Sir Jadeja is spinning the ball so much that it became harder for the slip and the wicket-keeper to catch the ball. The same incident happened twice with Kuldeep, the last over from Ashwin India needed only two wickets to end Australia's innings. For now, it seems a distant dream as the tail-enders are not taking any risk, they not even trying to get the ones and twos. I do not think Australia would be able to get to to 199 runs if they continue to play in this manner. |

Indian bowling has been spot on from the first ball. Indian fielding has been excellent today. The pressure created by the Indian team on the Australian batters is visible with their CRR which is below 4 now. Only 15 more overs left to bowl and I expect Australian batters would now try to open their hands as they are hardly able to get the ones or two. With this rate they would be able to give a target of 199 or 220 runs to India.
Edit: Maxwel bowled by Kuldeep.

According to the pitch report, this is a spin bowling pitch, and I think there will be some help for the fast bowler early on. The team winning the toss will bat first on this pitch. A score of 270 will be at par. It will be interesting to see how the batter tackles spin bowling. India has very good spinners, and Australia has Zampa. Maxwell is their second bowling option. India is the hot favourite in this contest. Kuldeep will be the key, but Australia has the ability to beat any team on any pitch. Let's see how the match progresses. Australia will be looking to attack Indian spinners.
Update: Australia won the toss and decided to bat first.
I had predicted earlier that the team that wins the toss would choose to bat first. Chennai Stadium has always been good for spinners, India has three spinners and two seamers. If Shiraz and Bhumrah can get a couple of wickets in the first 10 overs then the Australian team will be under pressure. The rest can be taken care of by spinners, a good target for the Indian team would be anything above 280 to defend. The stadium looks far better today than what it has been in the matches played before today. Do not forget Australia has been the most successful team in ICC World Cup. |

The odds suggest that India will win this match. They are playing on their home ground and i also fancy their chances more in this match.
Today is Sunday, a holiday in India and everywhere, would expect a packed crowd (over 30,000 People) at Chennai stadium and over a billion population in India watching their first ODI match in the World Cup, I hope India won't disappoint this big audience.
You can expect a full house today because it is a Sunday. Ishan Kishan will get another opportunity to open the batting due to Shubhman Gill's sickness. He is also known for his aggressive approach from the first ball. I am certain that the team that wins the toss would try to bat first as the team that has batted first has won more games than the team that has chosen to bowl first. |

Actually, traditionally Dharamshala is a very balanced pitch and offers assistance to everything. The pacer enjoys bowling here due to the weather, it offers a fair amount of spin as well and batters get complete value for their shots because of a decent outfield.
It applies to every format so Afghans definitely batted irresponsibly.
It all started with Shakib and then Mehidy joined him, they both combined got 6 wickets. It looked more like a spinners paradise as these two took all the important wickets. I was expecting Afghanistan to get to a decent score of 200 but they collapsed at 156. It is better to what Srilanka scored in the Asia Cup finals. Bangladesh completely dominated the game and it is now a win win situation for them. I was expecting thrilling finish, such games don't interest me at all. |

Without raising any funds for investment if they are performing so good then it is commendable. I expected those unicorn exchanges to be in that position. It means that the other Indian exchanges can make them profitable if they diversify thier user base. I don't think others will follow them as they are waiting for the next bull run. They are only concentrating on Indian users. Whereas Indian users are moving to International exchanges. Congratulations to KoinBX team in achieving the 94th position.

We all are currently enjoying the Cricket World Cup in India. But, do you guys know how much revenue this event will generate? How much money would come to the Indian economy? It would be approximately $1.64 billion (Rs 13,500 crore). This amount will give our economy a boost to approach the 5 trillion dollars economy in just 45 days. That is a conservative estimate, it can go higher than the amount quoted as per BQ prime. The amount would be more than what they estimated. There are other revenues that will be generated which we will only find out after the completion of the tournament. Btw, today India will be playing against Afghanistan in the finals of Asian games. I was expecting a final between India and Pakistan. They got defeated because of poor bowling and good batting by Afghans. I am certain that India will win the gold in cricket. |

Afghanistan have got a good and steady start to their innings. They are 47/0 after 7.4 overs. The pitch looks great for batting again.
Dharmashala pitch is generally good for batting. Fast bowlers do not get much from the pitch, spinners can use it to their benefit. That is what is happening now, Afghanistan were playing well earlier now after spinners have bowling they are struggling. The have lost 2 wickets and have only added 88 runs after 18 overs. How long Bangladesh can maintain this momentum would be interesting to see. They have been able to stop the scoring rate and have created a pressure on Afghanistan batters. |

Netherlands won the toss and choose to bowl. The wicket again looking good for the bowlers. Van Beek got the first wicket of Fakar Zaman, his bad form continues. He couldn't anticipated the slower ball. Intial stage of the match, Babar is on the field and he is in good form. Pakistan are the favourite to win this match. One thing that is again bothering me is why the stadium is empty. I can hardly see any crowd in the stadium.

Hello, greetings to you all, I recently created this account in this forum, so I decided to come to our local conversation board to ask for professional advice on how to go through this forum, because it seems like a very good learning environment to me so I can broaden my knowledge on crypto, though I have little amount of knowledge on crypto(bitcoin to be precise) but I am not satisfied, I intend to know more and I think this is the right place.
Hi Parvati_j, Welcome to the forum and the Indian local board. Well, you can go through the different boards in the forum and read the pinned messages to get accustomed to rules and regulations. That would take a lot of your time therefore you can go through the below list and hopefully you will gain the information you are seeking here. Another piece of advice from me to you would be to stay active and ask questions whenever you need an answer. |

Internationally things don't work this easily. It's more like a quid pro quo system that works when it comes to international data sharing. So if they want to gather data from international exchanges they obviously need to offer their data to these countries government as well. You cannot enforce this on them, also the threats of banning them might not also work because India isn't a very big market for them anyway.
Secondly, I am very sure this isn't to solve the crime committed using cryptos. NO ONE commits a crime using crypto and sweeps the money to a CEX. This is more to find about tax evasions and ensure tax compliance of 30% tax which the government has kept.
But as you said getting it from Tax haven exchanges would be like an impossible task for sure.
Knowing the current government and its foreign policy it is possible that data-sharing between the governments would be the primary way to get user data on CEX. Getting Indian user's data would be the primary motive as it does not make sense to ask CEX for user data. If someone wants to commit a crime they will always use a DEX to sweep their money. It is far more convenient for a criminal as they can hide their identity. |

Yeah, you are correct we as an Indian community have lagged far behind others. There was a time 2 or 3 years back when our local board was buzzing with a lot of activities. At the moment we are staying afloat with a handful of users. I like your initiative as it will help us to know how many Indians as here in the forum. Please add me to the directory.

Excellent captaincy by Tom Latham with good support from the bowlers. Kane Williamson's absence could help the Kiwi side as they now have a higher chance of winning this match. At first, in the early stage of the game, the English batters looked confident and a target of 300
runs or more was looking possible. Now it is clear the target is not 300 but 283 and this target can make a big difference in this game if NZ batters can bat sensibly.
England did miss Ben Stokes as he could have made the present target look different. He is a well-known all-rounder and he could have contributed through his batting and bowling today. At the moment the match does favour the Kiwis.
