‘Message must have gone inside Virat that ‘Are you people doubting my ability?’: Ashwin on Kohli’s celebrations post ODI centuries against South Africa | Cricket News

Published by Webster

With his knock of 102 runs against South Africa in the second ODI at Raipur, Virat Kohli scored his second successive century of the series in as many matches. Kohli’s century at Raipur was also the 11th time that the Indian batsman scored back-to-back hundreds in ODI cricket and the 37-year-old celebrated both centuries in his all aggressive style pumping up the fists and jumping. With all the talk about him now playing in only one format and Kohli also playing in Vijay Hazare trophy later this year, former Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin believes the celebrations are to answer the cricketing world about ‘doubting Virat Kohli’ and the cricketer answering the doubts with the centuries. “We understand what’s the journey inside him. Let’s not forget to understand why is Virat celebrating like that? What is he thinking? What has he gone through? Let’s not forget that Virat left Test cricket. And Virat and Test cricket have been very very synchronous. He likes Test cricket very much. He always wants to play but he has left …

Elon Musk applauds India’s elections — after doubting the very system behind it; here’s what he had to say

Published by Parlour News

Nov 24, 2024 05:20 PM IST Elon Musk lauds India’s one-day vote count, yet his previous skepticism of EVMs raises questions about his stance On Saturday, billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX Elon Musk praised India’s election system for its impressive efficiency in counting 640 million votes within a single day. Musk’s remarks came in response to a post on X that highlighted the article “How India Counted 640 Million Votes in a Day”.  His comments compared the speed of India’s vote counting with the slower process in California saying, “India counted 640 million votes in 1 day. California is still counting votes.” But this efficiency is not without its critics — one of them ironically being Musk himself.  Elon Musk on elections First, for some context —  it is important to note that in India, Electronic Voting Machines are the standard means of conducting elections which helps with quick counting. Alternatively, more Americans now vote through paper ballots. Due to this dependency on mail-in paper ballots, many areas, including California, experience delays in vote …
