  • India lost to NZ in 2007 WT20! India lost at Nagpur in 2011 WC! But India went on to win both the WC! Today India lost to NZ at Nagpur

  • Clash of the Titans.
    This match will be interesting as the only match in the T20 World Cup is Pakistan vs India. Hope Pakistan win this time.

  • Pak vs India is always a thriller. May the best team win. I will go with Pakistan to win this match.

  • @back off India whitewash Aus 3-0 even WI beat poor Ausis easily, mark my words Aus can’t beat even BAN forget mighty India

  • He has sung some fine songs like Neesla Aasman, Mere Angane Mein, Rang Barse etc.

    One of my favorites is his remix (even though I am not a fan of remixes) of the legendary song, Kabhie Kabhie with Bally Sagoo. The combo of his voice and the poetry of the Kabhie Kabhie (one of the best romantic songs ever) is just amazing.

    What a man and what a voice !!!!!!

    Can listen at : http://raagtune.com/song/9uapv2m4/Kabhi_Kabhi.html

    Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayaal aata hai
    Ki jaise tujhko banaya gaya hai mere liye
    Tu abse pehle sitaaron mein bas rahi thi kahin
    Tujhe zameen pe bulaya gaya hai mere liye

    And one of my favorite lines is :

    “Main jaanta hoon ki tu geir hai magar yoohin”

    The movie was a classic also.

  • He is not only a Legendary actor but he is the Legendary Megastar of India. No one can surpass him in acting, megastardom, respect, popularity. Even khans have a long way to go to match this mega legend. Excited to see the anthem. India should win.

    @Zuheeb dhakkan moron, its srk who needs to imitate everyone and copy. He is the real copycat no.1 who imitated big B’s classic don and ruined it with his disastrous over acting and non fit chota don kind of character. He imitated dilip sahab in devdas and once again ruined his legacy with his torturous over acting. Dont bring aamir here. Aamir is much better person and human being than cheap, classless, arrogant, shrewd, selfish sarukh. Does same rubbish promotions over the top to save his career and buys awards like beggar, shamelessly dances in weddings for money and a list goes on. So shut up and dont talk about the ultimate megastar aamir Khan whom billions of people love and admire.

  • @back off India
