One of my favourite pods of the series. The India Daily. https://twitter.com/GeoffLemonSport/status/1351475667292942337?s=20
In today's IE, on Shubman's preparation for Australia. A kota stone to counter short pitch stuff. You know those 20 runs off Starc didn't come by chance. https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/foundation-stone-for-gills-success-in-australia-laid-on-ipl-duty-in-uae-7153354/
One of my favourite writers on Cricket, Sriram Veera captures the duel between Rishabh Pant and Nathan Lyon. https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/rishabh-pant-spinner-nathon-lyon-brisbane-test-indian-cricket-wtc-7153451/
The final #GoodBadRidiculous with @melindafarrell & @beastieboy07 (If he doesn't write a tour diary, I will be disappointed.)
@RaunakRK is a tremendous host who knows how to get the best out of his panelists. He didn't have to do much. Do notice how he sits back with his hands folded listening in.
Rashid Latif & Nauman Niaz credit RSD, the IPL & the A setup along with their overflowing love for Pant, Gill, and Pujara.
Kimber hits it home. https://twitter.com/ajarrodkimber/status/1351458555455541248?s=19

Even though I'm not a big fan of Vivek Razdan's commentary but this was splendid. Much better than Manjrekar, who clearly wasn't cut for calling the end. https://twitter.com/droopyaxe1/status/1351968514039402496?s=19
Short but good. Shubman Gill, one for the future, arrived in the present. https://scroll.in/field/984655/shubman-gill-one-for-the-future-who-arrived-in-the-present
Another from Scroll, I thoroughly enjoyed was on Pant, the maddest of them all.
