Inspite of the appalling weather yesterday, Paris did a stunning job in some magnificent settings to pull off an unprecedented opening ceremony where every part of the city to potray French culture and taste was used. A classic. @Paris2024 #OlympicGames #Olympic2024 pic.twitter.com/5WXrlw4j40

No coach, Lalchand Rajput, Gary Kirsten & Dravid. Coaches when India won WCs in 1983, 2007, 2011 & 2023.
It’s really about Indian cricket, not who the coach is. Time we stop thinking there is a direct correlation.— Sanjay Manjrekar (@sanjaymanjrekar) July 27, 2024
