Canceled an Ola Cab booking today because driver’s name was Ajinkya Rahane as I was getting late and he is known to be really slow.

Krishnappa Gowtham was bought for 6.2 crores in the auction.
Wondering why?

Bumrah bowled a no-ball in Jaipur. Jaipur police must have ordered multiple hoardings to be placed across the city #RRvMI

Not sure what was worse – Hardik Pandya’s bowling in that last over or his attitude.#RRvMI
