Celebrating One Year of the Gabba Breach

One year since the Gabba was breached. Down Underdogs on SonyLiv is a stunning tribute to India's test series win against Australia in Australia 2020-21. The Adelaide Aberration, Melbourne Magic, Sydney Seige and Brisbane Breach are not just 4 episodes but lessons for life. To win with an injury-ravaged Indian side against full-strength Australia in hostile Australian conditions with Smith and Warner coming back was very special.

Virat Kohli - Ravi Shastri's fire. Ajinkya Rahane's ice. Rohit Sharma's presence. Pant's devastation. Pujara's rock block. Bumrah's pace. Ashwin's guile. Gill's plain bat. Vihari's grit. Thakur's all-round effort. Siraj's lion heart. Sundar's confidence. Paine's invitation to Gabba. From 36-all-out to fortress Gabba breached. The series had it all. With all its ups and downs, the series was life itself. No wonder ICC rates it as the greatest test series ever played.

The Virat Kohli 70 in Adelaide, 36/9 all-out horror show, Shami wrist fracture, Virat Kohli leaving for paternity leave, former players predicting a 4-0 whitewash, the rise of Ajinkya Rahane the leader and a calm amidst the storm, Rahane's Melbourne century Masterclass, Pujara being Pujara the headache for Australia, the battle of the greats Ashwin vs Smith, Rishabh Pant replacing Saha, the arrival of Rohit Sharma as an overseas test opener, the arrival of young Shubman Gill, the Pujara-Pant partnership in Sydney, Pant's masterclass 97, the historic Ashwin-Vihari defence blockathon, the Jadeja thumb fracture, the Ashwin back injury, the Vihari hamstring injury and pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah's abdomen strain. And then it happened. At the Gabba, Australia's fortress - Siraj, Thakur, Saini, Natarajan and Washington Sundar against the intimidating bowling attack of Starc, Hazlewood, Cummins and Nathan Lyon. The Thakur - Sundar 100 runs partnership, Siraj's 5-fer, Shardul Thakur's 4-fer, Gill's 91, Pujara's tiring 56 (211) and then Pant's 89. The Gabba was breached.

Special. Unparalleled. Forever in the hearts of Indian fans. 💙

Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts

The Harry Potter Books and Movies defined childhood for many born in the 90s. It taught a young kid to read, love, laugh and grieve. We grew up along with Harry, Hermione, Ron, Draco, Luna and Neville. It told us that with the power of good people around us, it is possible to defeat evil even if it is many times deadlier. The Movies delighted the eyes. The casting and music so good. The Books delighted the heart. The words so enchanting. We all owe a lot to J.K.Rowling for the magical wilderness that we had an opportunity to explore from our homes. With the digital age having taken over, it will be tough for any new content to have such an impact on children like Harry Potter did. The 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts Reunion is an emotional and nostalgic trip down that wonderful memory lane. Harry Potter is Heart. Harry Potter is Love. And that will be Forever. Always. PS: Ron and Hermione still have that magic with them !! 😃
