Australia won the toss and elected to bat as expected. Rishabh Pant is back to drop some catches as a wicket keeper and the surprising change is the inclusion of Washington Sundar and Australia is also having a change as Marcus Harris is replacing the injured Will Pucovski.

The match depends upon how Natarajan, Saini, Siraj, Shardul Thakur and Washington Sundar bowls as they are completely new faces and i am curious how they will perform.

Usually in the past Kerala was a weak team and this is the first team they defeated Mumbai in a match in the history of domestic cricket and there are pretty easy picks in these tournaments, i am yet to watch the rest of the matches but the picks are pretty easy for some matches.

First time Azhar is performing like this in the big stage even though i have heard about him and it was the first century scored in T20 from a Kerala player.

In domestic T20 especially in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Rishabh Pant holds the record for scoring the fastest century in 31 balls.

The price of ETH is around $1180 and to become a eleven trillion market you need to attract huge institutional investors investing solely on ETH for the next few years if you want to see those valuation and with a coin with plenty of coins in circulation and more to come it is possible to reach hundred billion in the near future if the price keeps on increasing but to reach a trillion dollar you need to see some crazy rally which is highly unlikely in the next decade  .

This is not a new phenomena that started today, once the scaling talks started a few years ago before the last rally people started considering BTCitcoin as an asset rather than a currency. It depends upon the investor what mode you want this to be, you can use this as an asset or you can spend according to your choice.

Have you seen the last two rallies and how a correction wiped off billions once the bear market is settled. It is nothing new in the market to get the tag, it is called a Tulip mania multiple times and how many times people would tag the same headline. It is a speculative market and you will see major corrections and it will continue to move forward.

The success of Jasprit Bumrah is his line and length and his control and Natarajan showed his control with his line and length in the T20 format and until you give the bowlers a chance to perform in the longer format you never know whether he will be successful. The difference between Test and the rest of the format is the endurance and stamina in the longer format and you need a smart captain to understand the weakness of a bowler and never burn them out.

Not sure about the Indian line up, reports are coming out that Cheteshwar Pujara injured his hand during net session and considering this to be a fast bowling friendly wicket it is going to be a difficult task for India.

Anyone watching Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy domestic matches, i started watching because Kerala have a very good team with Sanju Samson leading the team and Robin Uthappa opening and Sreesanth making a come back after seven years. Today they are facing Mumbai and they are chasing a target of 197 runs and they had a good start and might even win the match. Watch out the name Mohammed Azharuddeen the Kerala opener who is smashing the Mumbai bowlers and he will be in the next IPL .

EDIT:
Kerala just need 46 runs in 56 balls and Mohammed Azharuddeen scored a century in 37 balls.

If you remember Jasprit Bumrah had the same tag, it took a while and some injuries in the squad for him to get a chance in the team and everyone was critical that Jasprit Bumrah would fail in the Test format as he is just a short format bowler and now everyone is praising as he is the best bowler in the world across all formats. What i like about Natarajan is his control over his line and length and that is more than enough to be successful in any format.

Not sure what is going on, Ashwin is injured, literally everyone in the team has some sort of injury .

10 overs remaining in the day and hopefully India could draw the match from this situation. Hanuma Vihari is playing a long innings to save the match and the commentators are telling that he is also injured not sure about that, if he is also injured what will be the team composition in the next match. Ravichandran Ashwin is playing his part and now Paine dropped a catch and India needs some luck as well to survive these last few overs.

The funny aspect is that Ravichandran Ashwin and Hanuma Vihari are communicating in Tamil and the Aussie players are trying their best to irritate them as well and a word battle is also going on in this match  .

India already banned over 50 Chinese application in the past few months and it was expected other countries to follow suit because the reason they said about the ban is security reasons. To be frank taking strict action on cryptocurrency exchanges will not help anyone as the business is run by their citizen which will help in providing more jobs and the crypto space has nothing to do with any specific country.
 

That means did you sell your alts at a loss, i am yet to convert some of the alt coins i am holding as i am looking for the perfect market to drop everything and i am not sure whether this is the right moment to hold everything in BTCitcoin, i might hold in my local currency valuation in the exchange till the next correction and will enter once again till the bull cycle starts again.

It is a tough task even for Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane to bat the entire day and India does not have the middle order strength to bat the entire day if there is a fall of wicket and Ravindra Jadeja will not come out to bat and Rishabh Pant injured his elbow and he did not field the entire day and even if he comes out to bat it will not make much of a difference as the Australian fast bowlers will pepper with short balls knowing he is injured.

This is exactly the reason for these speculation, you will find many investors having their predictions with insane amounts and those are nothing but wishful thinking and throwing out a value so that other investors will start investing even if the price crosses a certain valuation thinking that the market goes higher and these big investors will book their profit when the market shows any signs of weakness while the small investors who dreams about further rally gets stuck.

Just take a look at the entire market and tell whether the market is rallying, the entire alts are rallying and most of the coins rallied around 30% to 60% in the last one month alone and i would consider that as an alt coin season because some of the coins have risen well above my expectation especially BCH and BSV and XRP is still rallying even with the lawsuit.

Marnus Labuschagne was dropped by Hanuma Vihari in the second ball of the day and they will take advantage of these missed chances and convert to big innings, India needs to improve the catching as they are missing many catches every match and they need to change the fielding coach as you cannot win matches dropping these catches. Pant might come out to bat but not sure about Jadeja as he injured his thumb and he is out of the series.

Hope you are aware of the controversies before considering to invest in them for the long term. It has a market capital of around $24 billion and just recently minted 400 million USDT and i wont be surprised if SEC swings into action and shut the Tether market altogether. So think twice before making any hasty decisions and do not be surprised if you see the demise of the coin in the next 2 to 4 years  .

I had a feeling about more injuries and now Pant and Jadeja is injured. It is good for the team that Pant is injured as he will single handedly drop multiple crucial catches and it is better he sits out  but the loss of Jadeja will hurt the team and now all the players are used in the series and India cannot send anymore replacement because of the quarantine situation and this is by far the most players injured during a series as far as i remember.

The smart plot is always investing when the price is on a correction phase and if you are looking for profit then you really do not care about who is investing to pump the price and institutional investment is nothing new, they will always find good investment opportunities and invest heavily and that is their modus operandi and we knew that the price would rally after halving and if you invested well before that you could reap the profit which is not possible in any other financial market.

When was the last time Australia was struggling to find the perfect openers, just when Hayden and Langer retired, they never had a long pair along with Warner and when the big names like Michael Clarke and Michael Hussey retired they were not able to find a suitable replacement in the middle order and every series they are experimenting with new players and they are still searching for those talents.

Babar Azam is the highest run scorer in T20 in 2020, he did not play much T20 International matches but he is leading the pack from the rest of the players by a long margin. If you are taking T20 Internationals then Mohammad Hafeez and KL Rahul are the top run scorers.
 
Here is the list.
https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/batting/most_runs_career.html?class=6;id=2020;type=year


Babar Azam averaged 55.20 in T20 Internationals in 8 matches in 2020 and he is the leading run scorer in all of T20 played in 2020 and i am not sure why he was ignored from the ICC playing XI.

I had to refresh my page multiple times to see whether you said about a valuation of $24345 as i am having a few drinks as the market moved away from those valuation a few days back and now the price of BTCitcoin is around $40,110  . I would say that institutional investors have identified the cryptocurrency market as an opportunity to make quick profit and hence they are investing billions and you need to understand that once they start booking the profit the price would dump like we have never seen before.
