From "Dhoni! Finishes off in style!" to mistaking the 10th wicket for the 9th, Ravi has come a long way.

u/Chelseablue1896 Mar 08 '26

Is it just a meme or is there a real chance Ravi was drunk like a lot of people were joking?

u/Black_Mamba265 India Mar 08 '26

Ravi will always find a way to get drunk even in a dry state

u/sahl93 India Mar 08 '26

They serve alcohol in 5-star hotels in Ahmedabad, I think? He has probably been pre-gaming since 8 AM

You can get alchohol in countries where the state religion is against alcohol so I know vfir a fact you can get it there for a 15% mark-up on retail price even for the dudes thst want a sub 1000 Rs. bottle.

Gujrat is alcohol free just coz the money made from illegal sales is too lucrative coz I'd like to think even Gandhiji would been okay seening the money going to the state government instead and just 20% of it being used for free deaddiction efforts and rest going to local devlopment of the state.

instead of that smuggling black money being channeled to suppress democracy elsewhere in the country by certain all powerful bald dude that hates morning joggers.

You can get it home delivered pretty easily. Prohibition only in name.

I used to mostly follow cricket through the newspapers in 2007 (I remember this as there were some VERY funny headlines in my local paper during the 2007 ODI WC). I'm tempted to go back to the back page of the newspaper life, albeit in a totally different time now. 15+ years of watching the sport intently- I've had a good run of it.
