Sourav Ganguly के इस्तीफे की अफवाह के बाद सोशल मीडिया पर आई मीम्स की बाढ़
BCCI President: बीसीसीआई अध्यक्ष सौरव गांगुली ने बुधवार को एक ट्वीट किया. इस ट्वीट में उन्होंने लिखा था कि वह अब नई शुरुआत करने जा रहे हैं, और इसके लिए उन्होंने फैंस का समर्थन भी मांगा. इसके बाद से कयास लगाने जाने लगे कि गांगुली अध्यक्ष पद से इस्तीफा दे रहे हैं. हालांकि बीसीसीआई सचिव जय शाह ने इस्तीफे की खबरों का खंडन किया. उन्होंने न्यूज एजेंसी से साफ कहा कि गांगुली ने इस्तीफा नहीं दिया है. इसके…

Pain Hustlers
Pain Hustlers [trailer]
Liza dreams of a better life for herself and her daughter. Hired to work for a bankrupt pharmaceutical company, she skyrockets with sales and into the high life, putting her in the middle of a federal criminal conspiracy.
It's hard to feel sympathy for Liza throughout when you know that her success depends on using her talent to create as many drug addicts as possible.
You can forget about that during the entertaining middle of the movie. But then it's like as if the film suddenly remembers that there's also a personal dimension of the lead character.

BCCI’s Lollipop to the IOC - Turning Cricket into a Global Sport
Cricket, a sport with a staggering fan base of 2.5 billion people worldwide (According to Sport Pledge) is making significant strides towards Olympic inclusion. The International Cricket Council (ICC) has been actively pushing for cricket's inclusion in the Olympic Games, with the ambition to debut at the LA28 Games. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), led by Jay Shah, has played a pivotal role in this endeavor. The Sportwiz explores the journey of cricket towards becoming a global sport, driven by the aspirations of the ICC and the strategic efforts of the BCCI.

Cricket has been making notable appearances in various multi-sport events, such as the Birmingham Commonwealth Games in 2022 and the Asian Games in 2010, 2014, and the upcoming 2023 edition in Hangzhou, Even this years African Games hosted in Ghana will consist of cricket where it will be played in the T20 format. These inclusions highlight the growing recognition and acceptance of cricket as a global sport.

The question arises: Does the Olympics need cricket, or does cricket need the Olympics? Cricket's immense popularity, with a fan base of 2.5 billion people and its status as the second most-watched sport globally, demonstrates the sport's strength and appeal. However, Olympic inclusion would provide an unparalleled platform for cricket to reach new audiences and further boost its global recognition.

The ICC's bid for Olympic inclusion emphasized the massive viewership cricket attracts. The 2022 T20 World Cup garnered a staggering 1.2 billion unique viewers globally. Additionally, the 2020 Women's World Cup saw 89 million viewers tuning in, showcasing the increasing popularity of women's cricket. These statistics exemplify cricket's potential as a major draw for broadcasters, sponsors, and fans alike.
India's significance as a cricket powerhouse cannot be overlooked. The country accounts for a substantial portion of cricket's global viewership, with 76% of the 113.5 million viewing hours recorded during major tournaments coming from India. The BCCI, backed by India's massive cricket market, has offered the International Olympic Committee (IOC) a chance to tap into this unique viewership, potentially elevating the Olympic Games' viewership in the Indian subcontinent.

The BCCI's main revenue stream, broadcasting rights, presents a compelling proposition for the IOC. Currently held by JIO and Viacom 18 for $31 million, these rights contribute to the ongoing profits of the Olympics. If cricket is included in the Olympics, the ICC estimates potential revenue of $130-260 million. These figures highlight the financial gains that could be achieved through cricket's Olympic participation.
The number $31 million USD is larger than the previous years in terms of Olympics in India but if we compare it to a similar number showcasing the money that’s involved in cricket, in the next financial cycle of the BCCI the Pakistan Cricket board ( PCB ) who hold a share of 5.75% is approximately valued at $34.5 million USD.

Cricket's economic value has witnessed a remarkable surge, as evidenced by the 300% increase in media rights value for ICC and IPL. The media rights for ICC and IPL soared from ₹16,347 crores to a staggering ₹48,390 crores. This exponential growth further solidifies cricket's position as a lucrative sporting asset.

With the Indian Premier League (IPL) now ranked as the second most valued sporting league globally, cricket's future looks promising. The IPL's substantial viewership of 380 million domestic TV viewers in the 2021 season and cumulative viewership of 383 billion minutes for the 2020 campaign across TV and digital platforms indicate cricket's enormous potential according to Jay Shah. As cricket continues to captivate audiences, its inclusion in the Olympics could propel the sport to new heights.
The bid to include cricket in the Olympics is anticipated to be decided in the final session of the IOC, scheduled to take place in Mumbai in October. Brisbane 2032 Olympics presents a realistic opportunity for cricket's inclusion, given Australia's cricketing heritage. Surprisingly, Los Angeles may also be a potential host, thanks to the approval of the bid by former Mayor Eric Garcetti, now the US Ambassador to India, fostering stronger relations between India and the USA.

Cricket's journey towards becoming a global sport is gaining momentum, with the ICC and BCCI leading the way. The sport's immense viewership, economic value, and potential for growth make it an attractive addition to the Olympic Games. As the IOC contemplates cricket's inclusion, the world awaits a decision that could redefine the sport and pave the way for a future where cricket becomes truly global.

Fotógrafo captura meteoros, la Vía Láctea y la bioluminiscencia en una sola foto!
El fotógrafo Jay Shah logró una impresionante fotografía que reúne meteoros, la Vía Láctea y la bioluminiscencia en una sola imagen. La fotografía fue tomada en el Parque Estatal Fort Stevens, en el Estado de Oregon en los Estados Unidos.
Shah explicó que tuvo que esperar varias horas para conseguir la toma perfecta, que muestra el cielo nocturno iluminado por las estrellas y los meteoros, mientras que el mar refleja un brillo azul debido a la presencia de microorganismos bioluminiscentes. La foto ha sido ampliamente elogiada y compartida en las redes sociales, donde muchos usuarios han expresado su admiración por la belleza y la rareza de este espectáculo natural.
Me encanta porque en este mundo moderno de Photoshop e inteligencias artificiales, claramente sería muy fácil falsificar o imitar este tipo de imágenes. Pero Jay Shah mantiene viva “la magia” y la filosofía por lograr una buena foto. Chévere!
