Indian squad for the first two tests
- Kishan messed up due to recent drama where he took things for granted, now he is advised to play Ranji.
- Pant is still doing rehab i guess, 3 wk for the home series seems funny. On turning tracks KL might not keep well, maybe that's why they opted for an extra keeper.
Even if Ishan picked, I don't think he has his spot to play, so they went for the actual spot contenders. Pant will not take the risk of getting into the longest form of cricket after that injury, which is understandable, and his target will be IPL for now. 3 keepers is kind of joke but who knows what team management is thinking and this is home series they can take the things lightly.  |

In fact Pakistan bowling side has become very weak and the run rate per over was high. If you look at the Worm graph you can realize that from 1 to 15 overs Pakistan wickets and New Zealand wickets were often the same but after 15 overs Pakistan did not run well and they lost more wickets in a very short span of time. T. southee for New Zealand got 4 wickets with only 25 runs and got most wickets with lowest runs. On the other hand New Zealand batting side was magical where D. Mitchell scored 61 runs off just 27 ball.
Pakistan has this problem for very long time so losing wickets or not maintaining the momentum in the death overs isn't surprising. But their moral was depleted in the first inning itself so make a comeback and chasing the target over 220 is an impossible target for any team. On the whole Pakistan did good with the bat but as you said their bowling seems to be vulnerable due to the absence of Shaheen shah. |

I am using MEXC application on my Android device. If there is ban can the ISP restrict me from accessing the application? This is what's bothering me as I have never been in such a situation and for that I am planning to start using paid VPN. Few of friends suggested that Express VPN is the best for India what do you guys recommend?
If there is a ban then things will be complicated with accessing the app even with the VPN whether it's free or paid, because the servers will be taken down from India without the running servers in India I am not sure if we can access the app, but surely we can access the website and continue trading there. Nord VPN is a good choice too, but I never used any paid VPN in my Android, but I always use Turbo VPN whenever it's needed. |

Things will change soon though and the government won't ban Binance from being used in India.
So, in case the ban happens like what happened on the Apple Play Store, what VPN is recommended? I am not going to wait for the app to come back. We can't install apps other than what is available on the app store in IOS, thanks to the closed ecosystem.  So the only option will be jail breaking the iPhone and install the app file (highly not recommended). But for the android the solution is pretty simple, just download the APK and install it, but I don't see an option to download the wallet file from official site, so we have to trust the third party website! |

I got this email too and as far as I read they are working on to come to the agreement, but nothing yet guaranteed about the future of Binance in India while we don't need to worry about using Binance app for now because it's not banned, and we can still use the current version as long as government not announce the ban. Binance is still available on Playstore, so whoever using Binance please update to the latest version ASAP before it vanish because it will take months to come back in action even if everything settled well. |

Rohit Sharma did not play in the first match but still India won the match. I think If the top-order batsmen are not scoring, the middle-order batsmen have the ability to win with their performances.
I guess you are talking about Virat Kohli, Rohit captained the team today and got out due to the error while running from Gill.  Indian batting is very strong and even though few senior players were rested and team wants to try things for one last time before the T20 WC they did good job with both batting and bowling. Most players won't find a slot in this wc squad to be honest but in case if there is some injury then others might be considered where these performances will come into play. Shivam Dube also made a statement about his availability to the team India with today's performance with both bat and with ball. |

Afghanistan played well but I don't think they can beat India because India player paly very well and they has made 85 runs in 10 overs with lose of 3 wickets.India need 69 runs from 54 balls. I hope that India will achieve this target peacefully. S dube now is batting they continue their inning and he made 33 run in just 25 balls and J Sharma is playing with them .J Sharma is also playing very well and has also scored 26 runs in 14 balls . I hope India will win this match .
India came back pretty good after the initial fumble, Rohit really disappointed with the way he got out. Now India just needs 14 runs from 22 balls and 6 wickets in hand, so yeah the match is pretty much over now and AFG can take their positives from this match and try to give a comeback in the second match to keep the series alive. If Rashid played today, then things could have been different in my opinion. |

There are some players who will live forever in the history of Indian cricket and Rohit is one of them. We cannot judge the good and bad of a cricketer by the performance of one match. Rohit and Kohli performed well in the last ODI World Cup matches but in the final match they could not win the match due to some mistakes in their decisions. It is not unusual to do poorly in one match after playing 10 matches. Again, Virat Kohli has few records which are not available among other cricketers. Virat Kohli's form was not good before the last World Cup but even then he was given many chance in series matches because BCCI knows what kind of player Virat is. Finally, he got him self with the form but last match was not successful. These two players are good in both ODI and T20 formats.
Virat had a couple of dry years for his standard, but in 2023 he turned everything back and we know what he has done in the WC too and highest run scorer of the series and Rohit didn't hit a century he managed to secure the second-highest run scorer in the WC too and he showed how destructive can be if he gets going. The same formula can be applied in T20 too and it can be more effective, and I am sure if Rohit bat for 10 over the match is India's side. Anyway Rohit will be captaining the T20 format today, and this will be his first appears in T20 since 2022 and Virat fans you need to wait because Rahul revealed that he won't be a part of first T20 due to personal reasons. |

Although Virat Kohli has batted slowly in this World Cup, Rohit Sharma has not batted slowly but in the first power play he has batted devastatingly and got out after scoring the runs needed for the team. In this World Cup we got to see a new technique from Rohit Sharma. The 2023 World Cup was played on all the wickets that were easy to bat on in the early stages, so Rohit Sharma was more focused on scoring the required runs for the team than on his own century, rather than on his own big innings. Virat Kohli has built an innings beautifully and he has taken that innings to a century. BCCI knows how important Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are to the Indian team and how much they contribute.
Rohit is definitely a successful captain in T20 format too because he won 5 titles for MI and we all know it is bigger than international matches but in WC team India came close and failed but blaming individuals can't solve the problem and I wonder how people can question about Virat's T20 batting skill is not good despite is the highest run scorer in the IPL with SR,130+ in his 16 IPL seasons. |

At the time I wrote this post, the price of Bitcoin was at $26,873.29 and today the price is $45,133.61. though it the market is know for it's volatility but in real sense Bitcoin is heading somewhere. rumors have it that Bitcoin ETF will be approved this week and if that happens, the price will keep appreciating in value. It's never too late to start investing and accumulating more Bitcoin. And aside that the bull run is just by the corner meaning we'll be experiencing two set of bulls this year.
If you see bitcoin from its price point alone, then it is not the right metric to say it is the future of currencies. The decentralization is the key and the actual reason for bitcoin became successful, we don't know what will be the status of bitcoin 50 years later from now but if it becomes the preferred mode of payment then price can't be the only reason and one point it will reach its threshold value even as per the demand and supply law. There is so much hype on the market due to the ETF approval speculation, but I am sensing the negative vibe for some reason so be prepared if there is a correction. |

I am still able to access my Binance app on my mobile phone and can see it on Google Store. I read the article and they are saying they have not been able to get an answer as to why these apps were removed. Let's wait and watch and not come to any conclusion as money control does have a bad reputation when it comes to crypto.
I haven't done my research about it yet but I can possibly give an answer based on the previous instances happened. If the apps removed from the app store then it's probably because Indian government asked the Apple and told them to take down the apps for whatever reason it can be and remember when India banned Chinese apps few years back? The app will still work and probably for even months, so we don't have to worry about moving funds if there is any in Binance because the exchange will send notice if there is an actual ban and users will be requested to withdraw the balance followed by deadline. Maybe in a day or two it won't be available on PlayStore too. |

@Parvati_j your post looks very agreeable unless it in not generated usin an AI. I also felt that you should use more paragraphs or seperation to reduce wall of words. The next thing you should focus on adding a few relevant images to support your writing.
Yes, I don't really see people care to read when the posts are too long, especially like wall of text like what we see in OP. Posts should be brief and it should be in better format to keep the people engage and also easier for us to read too. Here is a guide for that [GUIDE] A good post/reply and formatting which might give an idea about better formatting the long posts.
If you are using and hover over on hyperlinked text then you will see the redirecting link's URL on bottom left corner of the Browser window.  I knew about this, but I forgot, so thanks for reminding it. |

India VS Afghanistan 3 match T20 series will start from the 11th of this month. There is a lot of speculation on who will be captaining the team. Rohit Sharma's name is on the top and it is because SKY is injured and Hardik is also not fit. If Rohit Sharma becomes the captain then he will want Virat to be part of the team. Whereas selectors are not happy with the way Virat plays in T20 cricket as he is slow. He is suited for ODI and test cricket as per my understanding. What do you guys think will happen? Will Virat Kohli be part of the T20 team that is captained by Rohit Sharma?
Here is the 16 men squad for 3 T20I.  Virat Kohli is someone who can't be ignored and if you remove him from the squad there won't be any solid player to trust. Even though he is not much of a six hitter, he becomes part of the top 5 run scorers in every IPL season and don't forget he got the Man of the series in WC which shows his current form too so definitely he will be part of t20 WC and I feel Rohit is going to be the captain for team India one last time in this WC. |

Not sure about Rahane but i believe Pujara's services are much needed in Australia. He's kryptonite to Aussies on their home turf.
Yeah, he is. But so far how Pujara reacted for not selecting in SA series it clearly means something is going on behind the scenes and they will just blame his last two-year poor performance as a reason to not select him. It's not particularly about Pujara alone but forming a whole set of batting unit for the test matches and India is capable of doing that than any other team but still they want to go with IPL stars with all kind of format in the international arena. |

In English conditions our chances against any SENA country in a one-off test (finals) are slim. So yeah, another choke might be on the cards. Not because we are weak but teams need some match practice to get used to the conditions. For SENA it's familiar conditions so it suits them more. The situation would be exactly the opposite if WTC finals are scheduled in the Subcontinent.
With the current Indian team, I doubt they could even secure a spot in the final but if the matches are played in home then its known that India can walk over the opponents and the opponents too blame that pitch is under prepared, for other tours the players are still very new and only very few played more than 10 matches in the current squad. If Indian team management don't want the Pujara and Rahane any more, then I doubt Indian batting lineup have experience to withstand seaming and bouncing conditions. |

The SBI app getting downloaded by 500+ users is very suspicious to me. They have one of the worst UI in apps, have you tried using the YONO app? Nothing works on that app as they claim.
YONO is pretty bad and I used them too because SBI as my first bank account like most of the Indian residents and 6/10 times the payments will be failed due to server error and for a government bank with such large userbase not given proper resource like HDFC or ICICI do. But for the record it is the official erupee wallet app from SBI. eRupee by SBI |

T20 is great and we see more people are watching it but look at what it is doing, to the traditional cricket form which is test cricket and we witnessed the shortest test match recently between IND vs SA and the last record was in 19th century.
I don't know why so many are bummed about that particular test being the shortest test ever since I enjoyed it a lot. Tests as the name implies are tests for both teams in all areas which is why they can end in 1 day or not end even after 5 days. Exactly, all these leagues are more money than the actual sport which uses the fanactics drive their business and try to reach new heights.
All of that doesn't really matter as long as we are getting entertained at the end of the day which is the whole point of these sports events. I would love to be the game as it is supposed to be as much as I am getting entertained, and not just this particular test and everyone who is fan of cricket will agree that white ball cricket especially T20 is destroying the OG formats and if it goes like this on and on for a while then we may see 5 year over leagues too because we already have T10. |

No, it's actually the count of transactions that have hit 1 million per day as per the article I have posted in OP. Indian banks disbursed some employee benefits through digital rupee in December, helping the Reserve Bank of India meet its target of one million daily transactions by end-2023, three sources directly familiar with the development said. If that is what they are saying then I don't believe in it, because it is impossible that they reached 1 million transactions mark per day when there is very few vendors that accept it as payment for the entire district so probably as I said they are doing all the transactions for themselves to increase the count but can they make such high numbers even if they do send back and forth for themselves. |
|
|

As per latest data there are around 1 million transactions happening on the CBDC ledger.
Let me correct you, its not 1 million transactions per day, it's 1 million in volume per day which means 10 lakh rupees for a day and that won't even be a considerable amount to be honest and even those 1 million is achieved simply because banks tried moving funds back and forth which created volume and so they can claim there is spike in the volume. |
