Happy new year.
2024 had some good and bad memories for me as everyone else. In sports, it started with Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah's perfect balling against South africa, then Shivam Dube's match winning performance against Afghanistan then Yashavi and then Rohit's fifth T20 century giving a reply to his haters who were questioning his selection in team.
England series was again a perfect series for India though we lost the first match, irrespective of Rahul and Jaddu's good score, credit to olie pope. Yashavi's two double hundred, Rohit's century in third and fifth match, jaddu's century in third and Shubman an second and fifth, not to forget his 90 runs. Then came IPL, something of which I am never fond of. Controversies, true or not but not need of time, questioning our own players and singing praises for foreign players. Then worldcup and win, a memory forever. Followed by medal in hockey shooting javelin throw. One of my favourite sports person PR Sreejesh retired but then he followed path of my another favourite Dravid. In Paralympics I can not forget to mention Avani lekhra. And then Junior Asia Cup men and women in hockey. On chess, first we won Olympiad man and woman, then Gukesh D won fide championship. I was rooting for Gukesh but Ding Liren, he is so cute. He handled loss gracefully which we can't. Like saying that tomorrow there is no match or his love for ice-cream. There are some memories at which I don't want to look like losing against Germany in hockey, home series against newzealand and then team in BGT. I don't know what is happening there but I don't want to blame anyone, like others are doing.
