There was a small but important debate shaping up regarding the first choice WK batter for India in the upcoming series against England.
Bharat is a traditional rock solid gloveman similar to Saha but lags in the batting department. The new guy Jurel is a good Keeper and an exciting prospect with the bat and is known for his explosive batting.
But I guess the recent England Lion vs India A match seals the deal for Bharat, at least for the first 2 matches.
SK Bharat also played for India A in SA and he is decent with his performances and if team India needs to form a test side then they need to groom certain players for the particular format. Keep rolling the same players for all the format and along with IPL the main players got no rest and extreme stress which definitely hinder the potential from player and if it affects their performance which can also reduce the confidence of the players. Just few days left for the Ind vs Eng test match, hope India will continue to bully the visitors like they do and get back in the WTC top ranking cycle. |

One reason can be that New Zealand batsmen and team does not took this match seriously and hence they lost it. Even this match was going in New Zealand's way but somehow Pakistan managed to pull back. By the way, New Zealand should have won this one to make the series 5-0. There is a difference in the win when you win by 4-1 and when you win by 5-0. A whitewash is something special and is remembered for a long time but New Zealand lost this chance.
Only few months left for T20 WC so my guess is NZ wanted to test their bench strength in a series they have nothing to lose after completely dominated the Pakistan in T20 as well as in Test. Look like Pakistan managed to win this and stayed away from the humiliation but there is still lot of improvement needed in their team if they really want to win T20 WC and Pakistan is completely capable of doing it but they need right combination and regain the form in the PSL which starts in Feb 17. |

Also I remember, one of my friend also got scammed to the cloud mining even when everyone advised him to stay away from cloud mining concept.
Cloud mining is not classifiable under mining, in my opinion. It is always a scam, always. Unless you are investing in a mining corp that actually mines, you are only being a part of a large scale MLM/Ponzi. The concept of cloud mining is real but it is never came from any legitimate mining farms/pools and the cloud mining scammers usually start their package for very low capital and guarantee returns that is not even possible if we mine our own still some are too blind to see that and fell for it. If I am not wrong still people are falling for cloud mining scam even after all these years. |

Again altcoin mining is a different ball game - a type of rat race where you mine one coin for an instant and then switch to a new one depending on profitability by selling on market and difficulty. Personally I am not a fan of that, I would have rather mined bitcoin if things were better in our country.
Most of altcoin miners I talked to on different crypto sites, left after a few years and sold off their equipment.
The incident I remember is they only concentrated on mining Ethereum not just any altcoins and invested heavily too for standard of middle class but later they sold the pieces of hardware for good price and understand buying cryptos and holding is more profitable for a retail investor than try to mine it. Also I remember, one of my friend also got scammed to the cloud mining even when everyone advised him to stay away from cloud mining concept. |

Pretty sure Rohit-Jaiswal will open. WK, I still think selectors will go with Rahul, 3rd no idea in case Pandya will not be there, and Dube is not Pandya's replacement.
This is my probable playing XI (in that order):
Rohit, Jaiswal, Kohli, Surya, KL, Rinku, Pandya, Jadeja, Kuldip, Shami/Siraj, Bumrah.
Looks excellent team to me. Pandya in team gives undeniable batting depth to the batting order.
India can't afford to go with only 5 bowling options, especially when Hardik has a habit of breaking down out of nowhere. Playing XI is a tough nut to crack this time. Even 15 member squad will give a headache to selectors. Don't forget you need 1 backup opener, 1 seam and 1 spin backup all rounder, 1 WK back and 1 seam backup. I still feel KL will be the first choice if he do well in the IPL and in the interview Dravid also mentioned IPL performances will be taken and could be the ultimate criteria to form the team. My XI will be : Jaiswal, Hitman, Kohli, SKY, KL/Pant,Hardik, Rinku, Jaddu, Kuldeep, Bumrah, Shami. But as you said if Hardik gone injured then it will be one batsmen short. |

Another question that comes to my mind is why will other exchanges accept AML policy. The simple reason is that the owners of these exchanges except Binance have been anonymous. No one knows where these exchanges are located as they don't have any physical presence. Binance will only co-operate as it has one of the biggest user bases in India. So, I am only expecting the Binance to agree to all terms and conditions of the government of India.
Most exchange has their headquarters and their CEOs are known to the public but they are obviously operating from region where crypto-friendly policies are available for their benefits. Now every government is sqeezing them to accept their regulation policies or just leave the premises which is not really new and it's something initiated by US and still followed by US. No business will look to skip India because we are the highest populated country in the world and it's really freemarket unlike China so I guess every exchange will try to comply the regulations to increase their business. |

Bangladesh did pretty well recently and the series was tied but hosts are most likely the favorites to win a series and that is what happened while Pakistan also giving some excellent individual performance but not enough to beat the opposition. Still one T20I is left hope Pakistan can put up good fight to avoid the white wash or else it will become big negative for them especially when not much time left for T20 world cup.
New Zealand is missing a few of their key players such as Kyle Jamieson and therefore Pakistan can't give the excuse that Naseem is absent. Honestly, I expected better from them, after the fight they put up in Australia. Especially the new bunch of pacers (Khurram Shehzad, Aamir Jamal and Mir Hamza) bowled beautifully in Australia. But then Shehzad got injured and Aamir lost his form in New Zealand. Batting is still a big worry for Pakistan. The top-order batsmen are simply not scoring enough runs to win matches for them. Pakistan batting line-up heavily relied on few players which is one of the reason they end up losing the matches. Pakistan seems to be lost confidence since the WC and probably team management is not happy with the team performance but players need to be backed by the team management to play their full potential or else this is going to be more downside in the upcoming matches too |

Nz once again won the match and bad luck Pakistan for this time too. Although Pakistan batsman failed to make runs except Mohammad Rizwan. He alone did 90s and due to lack of another over, he can't did his century. 158 run was good target for nz. They also played bad at beginning. Batsman keep getting out until Mitchell & Phillips came to bat. Both legendary player managed everything well and won the match again.
Pakistan vs New Zealand 4th T20 Match I had earlier predicted that New Zealand will win today's match as Pakistan have lost all the matches they have played against Pakistan on New Zealand soil. However, one thing I have noticed about the Pakistan New Zealand match is that although Pakistan looks very weak on New Zealand soil, Bangladesh has a very strong performance on New Zealand soil. However, 158 runs are not enough runs to win the team in T20, the New Zealand players once again proved. Bangladesh did pretty well recently and the series was tied but hosts are most likely the favorites to win a series and that is what happened while Pakistan also giving some excellent individual performance but not enough to beat the opposition. Still one T20I is left hope Pakistan can put up good fight to avoid the white wash or else it will become big negative for them especially when not much time left for T20 world cup. |

I am not sure about luring customers to WazirX but I was myself one of the early users of WazirX. I had even got the free airdrop from which I didn't even knew. It was just there lying in my wallet. Later I saw the price of WRX and started withdrawing it. Got a nice stash around 15k INR  Same here too, I had the habit of converting the dust balance of my coins to WRX and one day the price boomed like 100x? I don't really remember but that is the last day I ever held WRX and I didn't hesitate to cash out the profit which is like 10K if I am right.
Indian exchanges are behind this URL ban? That is a new info. |

The combination of team heavily depends on the availability of Hardik, we assume that he will be completely fit to play throughout the tournament but what if he got injured in the mid-season which forces the captain to see him as only the 6th bowler option and if they look Hardik as their 5th bowler then it's big gamble.
Selectors may look at Shivam Dube as a replacement for Hardik Pandya, I do not think he's good bowler as Pandya but he can fill in couple overs, or when other bowlers are getting thrashed and captain wants to change up things a bit. Dube can Bowl maximum of 2 overs in between over 6 and 14, trying anything different is just a death wish but Hardik is complete bowler who can Bowl full quota overs in the middle or death overs. Shivam Dube is more like batting all rounder like opposite of Axar/Jaddu. Still I am really confused about the probable XI for WC and who is going to be the opener/WK/3rd seamer. |

Likely a typo, and he meant KL Rahul there. I don't think Ishan Kishan is going to make it, imo it will be Jitesh and KL, and Jitesh as backup. Also will a thing to see how KL will do in middle order batting position in IPL.
Dhruv Jurel has so far did nothing in IPL matches he played, I don't see any chance for him, and don't think they gonna take him in WC squad even if he performs good in upcoming ipl or test against England, provided he gets to play there in first place.
Jeez KL is a horrible choice at this moment, do people forget how he performed in the T-20 WC? We shouldn't mix one format's form with other formats. Selectors gave SKY a short run in the ODI WC and Tests due to his t-20 records and look at his performance. I believe KL is not in any scheme of things as far as T-20 is concerned. Jurel's SR is above 170 with an average of 21-ish which is considered exceptionally well if you are batting at 7th-8th positions and he did more than enough in his first IPL outings despite being part of Punjab, which IMO is one of the worst franchises for cricketers. KL isn't very bad to be honest because the way Jitesh approached this series showed he still need experience to make decisions as per the situation but he just tried to hit and thrown his wickets and Jurel, I don't think India will take newbie into their squad even as backup in my opinion. Ishan Kishan can be the one because he has the ability to hit from ball one. The combination of team heavily depends on the availability of Hardik, we assume that he will be completely fit to play throughout the tournament but what if he got injured in the mid-season which forces the captain to see him as only the 6th bowler option and if they look Hardik as their 5th bowler then it's big gamble. |

T20 is going to have another level of entertainment for all cricket followers with matches like these are surely going to create good revenue for the media houses which are looking for better results in coming years but sadly due to ICC hypocritical policies and negative role, we are not having things in this format as we look forward with that I view like ICC is one of the worst sports organization which is not working for the development of the game and trying to have just their own stake in pockets with big countries which are holding all things about this game.
To be honest, only few countries are still interested in cricket for various reasons but cricket in LA28 is expected to bring the lost fame of cricket and I hope it would do it and I guess ICC is trying to make it popular, but western countries still doesn't know the cricket and how it is played is the reason for the game format is becoming shorter and we can't blame ICC for the transitions. |

I know people/friends who set up GPU mining rigs to mine Ethereum in 2018 but it's not really gave returns as they expected, and the main reason is the electricity cost and nature of environment needs AC to keep the temperature optimal to achieve the best possible experience from the miner which will exceeds the actual asset we mine.

You're right when you say that only Binance has shown some signs of working towards the solution because we haven't received any news from other exchanges yet.
India has the most number of crypto users from the world and Binance is currently the largest exchange and so it the chances are high that Binance would be having the largest crypto user base from India.
It would not want to lose that user base and that is the reason why it is working with the regulators for clearing the AML policies.
Binance tried to came into the Indian market in 2019 itself when they acquired wazirx an Indian exchange but later in 2022 there are some conflicts raised and Binance announced wazirx is not part of Binance and the Indian 30% tax pushed the users to choose Binance over Indian exchanges and I guess you are right Binance is having huge userbase from India too that is why they are working towards to settle this issue. |

I won't blame the bowlers completely as the pitch was good for batting. Unfortunately, we lost 4 batters consecutively as they chose bad shots or were tempted to choose those shots. Both Kohli and Samson were out in the same manner if you had noticed it. This is not something you get to do as a bowler if you haven't found their weakness as a bowler in your training session. Afghanistan were just inches away to win the game but Rohit as a captain prevented it with his comeback batting.
Bowlers leaked more runs they are supposed to but its due to wrong bowling plan in my opinion and it concludes that they still need expereince to be in the WC squad. Samson should have proved why he need to have a spot but he fails again and again which means he will not be in the consideration for WC squad unless he achieve some extraordinary performances in IPL. That leaves JL and Jitesh being the WK slot for now. Top order is where more competition for now, and the way things are going I don't see Gill in the opening spot. AFG had lot of positives from this series and I would say they did beyond their potential in yesteday's match by scoring over 200 runs with not heavy batting order. |

I am sorry if I am hurting your feelings as I have no intention to talk about this topic because I have feeling this all is useless but as you saying again and again India beats Australia in last few years again and again then I found the reason about this, so please give some details about this as well because you better understand cricket and all things than me hopefully you will give correct view why Australians are losing again and again. Most of the time Australians are happy to do business with the teams which are giving them good profit and currently India mean profit in cricket, so just because of this we have Australians losing again and again against India in last one decade. https://www.dawn.com/news/1547170Where do you guys see such kind of conspiracy theories? Australian cricket board is not poor and they see test cricket as a pride till date, that is why the Ashes is something special for Australia. Team India evolved a lot and found new talents in the last 15 years which changed the dimension of Indian cricket so they started doing better than the previous era Indian team but ICC trophy yet to arrive with such amount of talent but it doesn't mean team India is weak and they are paying for their opponents to lose.  |

Holy smokes! I did not expect India to struggle so freaking much to whitewash the Afghanistan team. 212 + 2 super overs is just crazy and it all happened on Indian turf which is why I applaud Afghanistan for their never give up attitude.
Rohit was sensational in this match while Rinku continues staking his claim as one of the best finishers in T20 cricket. What a finale!
It's another match to prove that they're not a team that can be taken for granted and the threat becomes higher in the shortest formats. I did watch the complete match and it's more than expected about the entertainment part because who thought the match will become a nail biter and requires 2 super overs to get the results. Hitman sixes are the most highlighted part but I agree with Rinku calm mindset no matter when and what situation he comes to bat is really a big advantage for the future of team India. |

Thanks to Avesh Khan this game went into the super over. In just 4 overs he conceded 55 runs. Can you imagine how much he destroyed India's chance of getting a whitewash. It has been a super over as BCCI might have already anticipated this situation. Looking at the current team of India it is a win for Afghanistan.
Bangalore stadium, small boundaries so we can't blame too much, but kudos to AFG who set up the innings and came with the death smash in the final overs. Mukesh done pretty decent in his super over and now India needs 17 run in 6 balls to seal the series with 3-0 and if Hitman connect two balls then it's done, and just watching the last ball err on the loop. |

Holy heaven! India 21-4, Kohli and Sanju both gone on first ball they played and on similar shot too. Rohit and Rinku on crease, and only Washington Sundar to come next who can bat. Again, India in situation where 6th wicket goes and pure bowlers start coming in, something India needs to sort out. A pure batter on Sundar's spot and all-rounder after that will help things a lot.
Holy heaven again and this time it's for marvellous recovery India did, from 22-4 to 212-4, never seen before! (I was awed at what Scorchers did the other day but this was much much better). Afghanistan seemed really motivated in start after getting quick early wickets however Rohit-Rinku did them dirty just like Afghanistan's match against Aussies in ODIWC where Maxwell-Cummins destroyed their hopes and dreams for semis. Rinku has been supremely consistent in T20, no way he's going to be left out from T20WC squad. Rohit hitting boundaries effortlessly at end of innings was spectacle, it was like I was watching highlights. The hitman we know came to the show today after the first 30 balls, AFG lacks experience which is why they didn't capitalize the start they had and at one point commentators were talking about having a score 130-140 will be a blessing then Rinku along with Hitman created the history partnership along with Hitman moved to most number of Tons in T20I with this one and shut everyone's mouth who have been questioning about T20 skills. |
