THREAD - HANUMA VIHARI'S INSPIRING JOURNEY.

Joined the St.Johns Cricket Academy at the age of 11. And after few days his father passed away. But the next day, Vihari scored 80 in the final and won a school tournament.

 VVS was the first of five cricketers who came from St. John’s academy and went on to represent their country followed by Mithali Raj, MSK, Tarun Sai and Hanuma Vihari.
2012 - Picked as a last-minute replacement for the injured Manan Vohra for the 2012 U19 WC. India won the World Cup but he could only score 73 runs in 6 matches.
"That moment I told myself, I would be the first one to play for the national team from this U19 WC squad 2012."
- Hanuma Vihari in Spicy Pitch episode (cricbuzz)
2013 - SRH brought him in the IPL. Vihari opened the bowling as an off-spinner and removed Chris Gayle for just 1, also scored 46* in the same match while chasing and was awarded Man of the match in his 2nd IPL game.
Scored 241 runs in 17 games in IPL 2013, with two MOM.
2014 - Vihari was snubbed by the IPL franchise. He went to England, and played for Hutton County Club in the Essex First Division League, scored six centuries.
2015-16 : Scored bucket loads of runs in First-Class cricket.

2014-15 - Scored 856 runs at an average of 77.81

2015-16 - Scored 626 runs at an average of 48.15
FC Record (2015-18) :
I - 47
R - 2500
A - 60.92
HS - 302*
100/50 - 13/7
2017 - Leading run-scorer for Andhra in the 2017-18 Ranji Trophy, with 752 runs in just six matches.
He also top scored for Rest of India in the Irani Cup in March against Ranji Trophy champions Vidarbha. Vihari scored 183 against the bowling attack comprising of Umesh Yadav and 2017-18 RT leading wicket-taker Rajneesh Gurbani.
After scoring tons of runs in the domestic seasons, he was named in India A's tour of England, Southafrica, Windies. He made the most of opportunity and played many valuable knocks for India A and was leading run-scorer in 2/3 of the above series.
2018 - Received an India call. And became the first cricketer from Andhra Pradesh to represent India after 19 years.

(He had a conversation with Rahul Dravid a day before his debut. - 2nd pic)
Scored a gritty 56 (124) in the first innings on a tough wicket + took a wicket of Alaister Cook.
And then came IND vs AUS tour 2018-19. Didn't played the 1st test.

2nd test - Replaced Rohit. Scored 20(46), 28(75) + took 2 wickets of set batsmen - Shaun Marsh and Marcus Harris.
3rd test - Played as an Opener at MCG, scored 8(66) [ batted for 90 minutes] against fearsome attack of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood and scored 13(45) in the second innings.

4th test - 42( 96).
2019 - Brought by Delhi Capitals. But played only 2 matches.
Windies tour - Missed a ton (93 off 128 balls) in the first match vs Windies. Scored a top notched 100 vs Westindies at Kingston and followed by 56 in the second innings. And became the first batsman since Sachin Tendulkar to score a century and a fifty in the same test.

2020 - IND vs NZ tour

7(20), 15(79) at Basin Reserve

55(70), 9(18) at Hagley Oval against a quality bowling attack with the likes of Boult, Southee, Wagner and Jamieson on the tough wicket.
2020 - At a time when his teammates were gearing up for the IPL more than 2500 miles away from Hyderabad, Hanuma Vihari was training and getting himself ready for the challenging Australia tour.
Started the tour well with a century in the warm-up game, but then scored 16, 8 and 21 in the first two Tests. Series level 1-1. An important match at SCG. People were raising doubts and his place was under pressure.
Dropped two catches in the field. India needed 306 to win the test match with 8 wickets in hand on the final day. Rahane falls cheaply. Pant came out to bat ahead of Vihari and it turned out to be a masterstroke. When Pant got out on 97, India still needed 156 runs to win.
Vihari came out to bat no.6. And after few overs he pulled his hamstring and was on his haunches on the SCG wicket. And now the question arises, Does he continue batting here,if he does so then he could be in more pain and miss the next Test Or he would walk back, and come later
But, he carried on. And from that point, he barely ran between the wickets. With Ashwin for company at the other end to offer constant encouragement, he scored a gritty 23*(161) and help India to draw the test match.
India were in trouble. Australia was on the verge of a winning a test match at one stage. Vihari was bit out of form, was under pressure and in some serious pain. But, he stood up for his team and delivered.

We're all loving the return of the UCL but in terms of football folklore, a fixture going down in Chile tonight may just be the most important match of the week.

It's a relegation playoff between CD Universidad & Colo Colo it has all of Chile holding it's breath. (THREAD)


It's all because the away side is Colo Colo, the country's biggest, most successful club, with 32 titles & the only Chilean Copa Libertadores trophy.

They have never even come close to relegation & the sheer thought of going down is causing all kinds of scenes across the country


From the ritualistic Grandma's doing their bit to convince the football sprits to keep them in the top


To the 5,000 fans outside who awaited the team bus outside the training ground for one last motivational


And of course the club's Barra Bravas with their own take on motivation

Marseille’s Morgan Sanson is the latest rumoured Villa signing, with a number of respected outlets reporting the signing today, but what can the midfielder bring to Villa Park, and where would he fit into the side?


Sanson began his career with an excellent reputation and with a lot of expectation – earning10 caps for the French Under-21 side. A serious injury to his cruciate ligament, however, set the midfielder back somewhat. Since 2016, however, Sanson has stayed relatively injury free.


As a player, Sanson is a very active player. His statistical profile, compared to Ligue Un central midfielders this season, shows a healthy number of both defensive and attacking actions, a significant creative output, the will to enter the box, and a lot of ball carrying.


The big question around Sanson is that of who he would replace in our midfield. Whether it would be in preparation for Douglas Luiz to return to Man City, to compete for place with John McGinn, or to replace Ross Barkley if his deal did not become a permanent one?


Stylistically, John McGinn makes the most sense. Looking at Sanson’s profile again, this time with McGinn’s, the similarities are clear. Both players are ball-carrying, box-to-box midfielders whose passing isn’t a strength. Both can score, create, and love to enter the box.

Choosing the Right JavaScript Framework

Thanks for joining me @pluralsight to talk about javascript frameworks. We had 150+ awesome questions, so I'll try to answer the ones I couldn't get to online right here in a tweet stream

Watch the video -->
https://t.co/G7zeiKhXme


Q. Do arrow functions really make dealing with JavaScript's "this" keywords easier?

A. Yes! When using arrow functions, the scope of "this" is effectively passed in from the outer scope. See here in this REPL

1/n


Q. Where does Polymer fit in? Is it considered a framework like the others?

A. @Polymer is an excellent way to create web components, which are ideal for creating sets of interactivity that can be shared in web apps.

2/n

Q. Have we gone framework crazy?

A. At one time, quite possibly. A few years back we literally had framework overload. I feel it really has solidified into a few very strong choices.

3/n

Q. [Is] there no more need for @polymer?

A. See my previous question on this ... but in general, I think there is a lot of room for Web Components with frameworks.

Post Independence, Army wanted to select the most experienced Indian commander as Army chief. But Nehru without consulting anyone appointed Gen Rob Lockhart, a senior British Army officer as the Commander-in-Chief (C-in-C) of the Indian Army.


Most people were shocked to know that Nehru selected a British Man after fighting for independence for over 200 years! Major Gen A A ‘Jick’ Rudra of the Indian Army was completely upset with the decision.


One day Lockhart met Nehru with a strategic plan and proposed many government directive defence policies for the country. He placed it on the table and explained the point to PM Nehru. After a while Lockhart walked out of the room and met AA Jick Rudra,+

Lockhart looked shell shocked and stunned. When asked what happened he said “The PM took one look at my paper and blew his top. Rubbish! Total rubbish! We don’t need a defence plan. Our policy is ahimsa (non-violence). We foresee no military threats. Scrap the army!”

One year after the incident the Kashmir crisis had increased and Gen Lockhart used to exchange ideas with the Gen Douglas Gracey who was commander in chief of Pakistan Army.There were many infiltrations along the border which Lockhart knew and took no action. But Lt Gen Cariappa+

Starting my 2nd thread on Sringeri Parampara. This will cover the Jagadgurus after Sri Vidyaranya to Sri Shivabhinava Nrisimha Bharati.

It is really very tough to match the brilliance and achievements of Vidyaranya. After whom came 15 - Chandrashekara Bharati [1386-1389].

The next Acharya was Nrisimha Bharati [1389-1408]. Harihara raya found a town for this Acharya - Narasimhapuram. Acharya helped the king by guiding him in political affairs. He also initiated the kind with mahamantras for spiritual development.

Subsequent Acharyas were
15-Puroshottama Bharati [1408 - 1448]
16-Shankara Bharati[1448 - 1455]
17-Chandrasekhara Bharati II [1455 - 1464]
18- Nrisimha Bharati II [1464 - 1479]
19-Puroshottama Bharati II [1479 - 1517]

20-Ramachandra Bharati [1517 - 1560]. Sadashiva Raya was emporer of Vijayanagara during this time.
21-Nrisimha Bharati III [1560 - 1573]
22-Nrisimha Bharati IV [1573 - 1576]
23-Nrisimha Bharati V [1576 - 1600]

24-Abhinava Nrisimha Bharati [1600-1623]. When he visited Malahanikareswara temple for first time he noticed there was no Vinayaka there so he took piece of turmeric and drew outline of Ganesha on a pillar and offered puja.
