Neither WSJ or any other US media outlets leading the investigative journalism on this, nor SG, have claimed the pandemic was planned. That's way more unlikely than it being an accidental lab leak. But the lab leak theory is definitely the most sound hypothesis given all the circumstantial evidence. The fight is to get a solid proof of this, and get the CCP to admit that this was indeed a lab leak, but it'll be a long fight given the fact that Commies hate to show weakness or admit to mistake. Similar to how Soviets behaved initially during the Chernobyl disaster.

NZ had good practice by playing against England. India, on the other hand, had no actual match practice, which points fingers at BCCI for shoddy planning. Plus, we need to address the elephant in the room : Kohli. He has been in woeful form over the past year, being unable to convert starts. Kapil Dev made an important observation - his eyes were failing him as he aged, and Kohli now gets bowled to deliveries he usually swats to the onside. This was a problem around this age for Dravid as well and he had to address some of his techniques to make up for failing eyesight/reflexes. This reminds us of how great Sachin really was. He too, would have had the same ageing problems but was able to improvise on his game so well.

Today's content on Cricket (starting 8:10 in this video) is the only time I have seen you cutting the clutter after a long long time. Please reduce the number of episodes you do - recording daily takes away your ability to analyze things in depth. With daily episodes your analysts also very likely end up spending more time digging up, and verifying news and less time analyzing. This makes CTC end up mimicking a daily news bulletin shot on the roof of your house (nice flowers, but dumb content). And this dumbness has started creeping into your political reportage as well.
