On one hand, we have Gujarat Giants who are an amazing team in the IPL. On the other hand, we have Gujarat Giants who absolutely suck in the WPL. Both are complete opposites of each other.
Delhi Capitals absolutely decimated GG and reached another final successfully. Hoping for a DC vs RCB clash which would be more interesting than DC vs MI.
Women's cricket is much different from men's cricket, only few people are actually following the women's cricket even in country like India, that's why Gujarat franchise failed to pick the right team which shows lack in their scout talent unit. Fans are pouring all their support for RCB because they believe atleast in WPL they get a trophy atleast, I am not following WPL either but it seems this season has more reach than the previous year and hopefully this will help towards bringing women's cricket to slm the cricket lovers. |

Is he banned? I don't see ban tag in his profile as well as on Bpip.
To answer your question, I don't know him personally to make any comment on whether he is or not but AFAIK, scams are not moderated here so even if you found someone who is found as scammer/fraudster the user will not be banned for that reason alone.

Can you DM me the exchange you used & any reliable Indian dealers on it ?
Would really appreciate it !
I only use Paxful for now, I don't want to mention the names and it's not really necessary too, just filter the orders for INR payments and where you can see a check box says "verified Paxful users only" by enabling this you will see offers only from traders who verified the top tier verification including address and other strict KYC and most of these traders uses bots so payments will be instant. |

The news is that Kohli may not be part of the World Cup squad. Below is the reason that has been given by the Indian selectors which was printed on a trusted news media outlet. The report claims that selectors believe Kohli has not been at his best in the T20 format, however, if then 'King Kohli' roars again in the upcoming Indian Premier League 2024, the selectors may rethink their strategy. So they would first evaluate his performance in the IPL and then decide whether he should be included. They might have forgotten his batting against Pakistan in the last cup which happened in Australia. Mohammad Shami and Prasidh Krishna won't be part of this year IPL due to their injuries. Team India can't afford to exclude players like Kohli and they won't be that stupid to do that either, Its coming from some non sense cricket experts who involved in cricket somehow but saying kohli shouldn't play. He is the top run scorer of IPL and he is holding the record for highest runs on a season and he has records that may not be broken for a while. He excluded himself from this test series by himself to be with his family on important occasion but there is no doubt that he will be back to complete form and will roar as always for RCB but their team never performed to win a trophy. |

I just realized had India didn't win the match by an inning and had England put some good lead then Jaiswal could possibly have surpassed Gavaskar's 774 run record (highest runs scored by an Indian in the test series), Jaiswal concluded the current series with total of 712 runs.
If I am not wrong Gavaskar 774 run came from 9 innings as well so it's kind of compensated, me too waiting for the record to be broken but Eng fell short and gave inning win to team India. Jaiswal is the biggest positive from this series and he made his opening slot permanent probably in all three formats with this kind of performance and Other debutants except Patidar gave pretty good impressions but when big names back they have to be at the bench and waiting for their opportunity. |

New Zealand deserved a win, but what to say? Matt Henry's brilliant performance went in vain. They had Australia at 43/4, then 80/5 and again at 220/7. When Mitchell Starc got out, they still needed another 61 runs to win, with just 3 wickets in hand. But all of their bowlers, who had performed extremely well till then, ran out of gas. Ben Sears was impressive and took 4 wickets in the second innings. But everyone else failed, in front of the lower order (Mitchell Marsh, Alex Carey and Pat Cummins). But even now, Australia are well behind India, as far as the points table in WTC is concerned.
Matt Henry who was doing so good in first 3 days of the game failed to pick wickets when NZ needed it badly. NZ were able to break partnership between Marsh and Head but then there is 140 runs partnership between Mitchell Marsh and Alex Carey. It was first innings poor batting that costed NZ this match and the series. If NZ had not given such a huge lead in first innings then we might have different result of the game. Toss played crucial role as well, here pitch was getting better to bat day by day but usually it will be in the reverse, still standing up when they needed badly is something great and Aussies known for doing that and this victory doesn't surprise me much cause they have been completely dominant over Kiwis in test while playing in NZ for the last decades. |

So I really this digital rupee is going to work like digital wallets. You need to link your bank account put money on to that wallet and use it anywhere. That got me thinking, if I have to link my bank account, then why can't I just use upi? I mean what a difference does it make for the individuals?
Usually any government apps work like shit. If you simply compare BHIM during the initial days of upi with what it is now, you will understand. The UI can become better with time, but not the intention!
I don't see any difference either but for now we can't really spend erupee cause merchants accepting eruppe is close to zero in my circle but private banks already into the games and launched their official erupee wallet/app that looks like bug free, I tried ICICI official app which is doing all the work as its supposed to be, but only issue is I can't find a merchant to use the money. BTW, I found a way to get anyone being duped on Binance P2P. Ask the merchant to pay in eRupee and they will avoid their bad money to be credited. If you don't understand why then do understand that it is governed by RBI.
Do you see offers to receive payments in erupee? I haven't seen any such payment offers on Paxful which I regularly use, so I may check it out how good the user experience of trading in erupee. |

Shreyas Iyer looks cooked to me now. Another failure for him in the ongoing Ranji final. Selectors won't even look at Iyer.
Everyone in Ranji is exploiting his weakness against bouncer, be it a 25 yo bowler or 36 yo Umesh Yadav.
I don't think that Ishan or Iyer would be able to make a comeback. Ishan due to the discipline issue with BCCI and Iyer due to his continuous poor form. Even the World Cup he was not batting well and with a lot of talent getting a chance play for India in the test series it would be hard for Iyer to secure a place. Well, his form dipped in the test cricket and his replacements are available so it's alright but it would be unfair to doubt his ODI form, especially in the ODI WC. The dude has scored more than 500 runs with an average of 65-ish, which includes 2 tons (1 in SF against Kiwis) and 3 50s. There are lot of criticism about excluding Iyer from the BCCI contract and it's kind of unfair decision too cause some players who skipped many Ranji matches haven't been dropped but only him. He started World Cup pretty decent and for the record he is having the record for most runs scored in no.4 position so this decision solely made just because he skipped one Ranji match? BCCI is pushing very hard as well, players are playing all day throughout the year so it's better to give players a month or two vacation period instead of just firing then all at once. |

Australia is now looking in danger here because Aus has already lost three crucial wickets. Steven Smith and Khawaja are two who mostly play long innings and both goes to pavilion. Look like Australia will loss this match. NZ is now on full charge, need some more quick wickets and then done the job.
Finally, Australia managed to stitch a partnership and kept the scoreboard moving. Only less than half an hour play remaining and hopefully Head and Mitch Marsh will keep on going. The match is not over yet, and just 200 runs more to win with 6 wickets one big partnership will take the match away from kiwis and this match is kind of equally poised at the moment. |

The second test match between Australia and New Zealand is looking interesting at the moment. Newzealand had a bad start in the first innings but now has made a good comeback with a lead of 278 runs. Australia would now need to get 279 runs to win the second test. They have won the first test match and if they win the second one then it will be another white wash. Earlier they had won the T20 series by 3-0 and this test series might be the next one.
NZ gave pretty good comeback which is unexpected based on the way they batted in their first innings but as far as I can read the pitch condition flattened out that made the scoring opportunity easier now and I was expecting one more session from NZ but their lower middle order and tail gave up early. The target is quite achievable but 4th innings is always dicey still 20 overs left to play today and AUS already lost their first wicket so if Kiwis manage to get a couple more then they have a chance to win this match. |

Australia played very well in their first innings. Hazlewood and Starc bowled brilliantly. Hazlewood managed to pick up 5 important wickets. But the Australian bowlers are not able to do well in the second innings. If the Australian bowlers are not able to bowl well at the beginning of the next day, then there is a big chance of losing this match. If the target is 200+, it will be difficult for Australia to win.
All it takes just one bad session for the batting side to bundle up, looks good to see some fight back from the Kiwis at finally still anything is possible and tomorrow morning play will be crucial and Kiwis has to play as deep as they can to reduce the deficit to zero cause they are still trail by 40 even after this long fought battle. |

Yeah and tbh they lost this series on very good pitches, these pitches were the same as pre 2018 era and nowhere close to the usual Rank Turner or Dustbawl.
Well, to be fair to them. Not many English batters have a good defense against spin, barring Root. This is like the 3rd-4th Indian tour for Bairstow/ Stokes, these guys spend 3 months in the IPL every now n then but still look like a walking wicket against spin.
English men always had issues against wrist spinners but this unit more experienced than Indian batting line-up didn't show any sign of fight back at all and you said it right this is not happened in usual rank turners so the English players can't hide under that for poor batting performance. I still like the bazball but as I said they have to adapt to the condition and apply that batting style instead of going all guns blazing. India squared their win loss ratio of all time with this match. And they are having the most winning ratio in the last 10 years and in second place Australia. |

From now on, They will think twice about using the term "BAZBALL".
If I am not wrong, this is the first loss for them since they started playing bazball. And the attacking form of test cricket is good but they are trying to hit every ball which is why they failed, they have to strategize better if they want to win in subcontinent and have to make adjustments when to attack and when to go defensive. Another win that made the no.1 position more comfortable for India in WTC table. |

Things are moving quickly here ladies.
First Jimmy reached a ridiculous milestone of 700 wickets as a seamer, a mighty big achievement and I dare to say the last seamer or probably the last test bowler to achieve this feat. Only Ashwin and Lyon can have a sniff if they manage to extend their career.
Ashwin the new ball specialist, just doing his thing and back to business.
Looks like ENG is playing hopeless and can't control the wickets falling. Joe Root back to his pre Bazball style of batting and that is provided some partnership for now but it looks like the innings might over before the day or even possibly the match could over by the end of today's play. Ash added another 5-fer under his name. |

Devdutt Padikkal got his first international 50. I thought after tea both Khan and him will continue till the end. Unfortunately both got out and India has now lost 5 wickets. Jurel and Jadeja are playing now the lead is still within 200 runs. England spinner Bashir has been having a good series against India. This time again he has taken 3 wickets on a pitch that is good for batters.
Well the variation in the bounce help here and there so what they have to do is bowl consistently on certain areas which English spinners can't able to do throughout the series and give one or two freebies every over. Test cricket can be agressive too and today our batsmen showed the visitors about how to play and construct innings instead of just hitting the every balls. Tomorrow the ball may break so will get tough to bat on, India already posted over 200 runs as lead and tail enders are contributing beyond their expectations. |

Again, when the tail starts wagging in test cricket, it's genuinely a treat to watch for the batting side and an extremely frustrating period for the bowling unit.
Kudos to the Kuldeep-Bumrah duo for stitching a valuable partnership. The scorecard and lead are looking good now.
Especially kuldeep and how he evolved his batting style like top order grinder, he always known for hanging around with a batter in the other end but in this series he took that to next level and really frustrated the opposition by facing more balls than half of their batting unit. India already got enough runs as lead to go for an innings defeat. |

Padikkal and Sarfaraz both made fifty and got out and after tea break. Padikkal got couple edges and got lucky but Sarfaraz Khan played good, I liked his straight lofted drive and upper cut, now names might not be correct but you know which shots I'm talking about.
Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for Anderson to complete his 700th wicket, it's been good while now, don't you think? Also i have observed that he's not been as destructive in other tests as he was in 2nd.
Indian batting unit has the complete freedom to go with what they really wanted to and the lead is over 200 so there has to be some miracle of India has to lose this match from this situation. I expected Stokes to bowl but getting a wicket of centurion in the very first ball he bowled in years is interesting. And he almost picked another one too in the next over. At this moment 8 wickets down and so far spinners are taking the wickets, Jimmy may aim the tailenders to reach the milestone especially Siraj can be a good candidate. |

Poms are unable to take any wickets at all. The second wicket partnership between Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill has added 122 runs till now. Pacers have been disappointing so far, both James Anderson and Mark Wood. The second one has gone for more than 6 runs per over till now. But still I am quite surprised to see the England captain under-utilizing Anderson. Shoaib Bashir has bowled 18 overs till now, while Anderson has got only 7 so far. BTW, New Zealand have taken two quick wickets at Christchurch, and both of them went to Matt Henry.
Anderson didn't get much assistance and this isn't new ball so considering who picked up all the 10 wickets in the first innings is spinners so Stokes expecting the same from their spinners too. Now both batsmen are in their 90s and probably a wicket may arrive in the nervous 90s but so far both of them were looking very comfortable with every bowlers and I am keen whether Stokes himself get himself into the play. |

India is actually playing better bazball than England does or atleast in the final session with run rate over 5.
All Indians wanted Jaiswal to score a hundred this time. He was in great form but sadly he got stumped out. I hope Rohit Sharma completes his another century this time. He is already in great form and have crossed 50 runs, so if this form is carried today also, then definitely he can score a hundred. By the end of today’s innings, we can easily estimate who will win the test match. India did extremely well after the first match to be honest. Jaiswal already in the top run scorer because of two big tons already and fifties too and probably he couldn't get past 50s 2 times in the entire series if I am not wrong and he scored 700+ runs in the 9 innings while the second most run scorer is just sitting over 400 that tells that he already made enough contribution and probably sealed the opening slot in test format for this WTC cycle. Indian batting looks non stop with the run scoring again today morning as well and Hitman really deserves a ton. |

Team India did exactly what they are capable of and it's done in a venue where more assistance for seamers and conditions similar to England and not just this venue but every venue was fair and gave equal opportunity for both the teams and one who actually performed crossed the line. India started with bang in their batting too and England might be approaching a huge lead and what I admired is how Kuldeep increased his fielding skills too in this series.  |
