    Former Indian cricketer Ambati Rayudu has managed to statistically improve his chances of getting picked by one of the 10 franchises during the IPL 2022 Mega Auction by simply making a small tweak in how he will be appearing for the event.
    As the list of all the cricketers who have submitted their names for the bidding event becomes public, it was quickly noticed that the 36-year-old Ambati Rayudu, who used to be a batter for the Men in Blue at the number four spot in the batting order, has registered himself as a wicket-keeper and not a batter.

    This move has increased his chances of being picked by the teams as the number of sets for wicketkeepers is significantly fewer than the number of sets for specialist batters. This also increases the likelihood of his name being called out in the early phase of the auction when most of the teams will still have a lot of money in their purses and would have a relatively open mind about investing in Rayudu’s skill set.
    His fans were in complete awe of the way Rayudu has increased his probability of getting picked by a good franchise for a good price and appreciated the way his mind works.
    Very interesting. Ambati Rayudu has registered as a wicket-keeper for #IPL2022MegaAuction

    — Sumanth (@Sumanthh_) February 1, 2022Having played for championship-dominating teams like Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings, Rayudu is considered to be one of the top difference-makers in the league and franchises have had to get into bidding wars with each other to have him wear their colours.
    The captain of the Andhra team in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy championship, Rayudu is known for his middle-order batting. However, he has made a few appearances as the man behind the wicket and even as a right-arm off-break bowler occasionally.

    He has also registered himself into the mega auction with a hefty base price of Rs. 2 crore, which makes him one of the 44 cricketers from all over the world to do so.

    Kareena Kapoor Khan has worked with Akshay Kumar in 9 films including Good Newwz (2019), Kambakht Ishq (2009), Gabbar Is Back (2015), Talaash: The Hunt Begins (2003), Ajnabee (2001), Aitraaz (2004), Bewafa (2005), Dosti: Friends Forever (2005) and Tashan (2008). 
    Besides the above mentioned nine films, Kareena has also appeared in a blink and miss cameo alongside Akshay in Rowdy Rathore (2012). 
    Irrespective of their film’s box office fate, their pairing has always been appreciated and the two share a good chemistry between them.

    So, it was interesting to note that Kareena finds it “weird” romancing Akshay on-screen. She explained the same on a chat show The Icons with Akshay’s wife Twinkle Khanna. 

    While talking about her sister Karisma Kapoor’s career as one of the top actresses of the ‘90s, Kareena stated, “I am romancing all of Lolo's (Karisma) co-stars, it's so weird. (During) Akshay's first shot, I was in my school uniform. It's been such a long time, it just shows how amazing he is rather than me.”

    Twinkle, however, had a different take on the issue as she disagreed with Kareena by saying, “Maybe not, it also shows that here men can just have these long careers and women…” 

    Kareena then interrupted adding, “But now we are proving them wrong.” Twinkle then pointed out how Kareena is still at the top of her game despite being in the industry for over 20 years. 
    During the chat, Twinkle also mentioned that she is sure Kareena will still be working at 75. The Good Newwz actress then added jokingly, “Well, if I am 75, I know one thing that I will be working with Akshay Kumar for sure because he’ll still be working. I am telling you, he is already planning some two-hero film with Taimur. He has already told me that.”

    As for Akshay Kumar and Karisma Kapoor’s pairing, the two have worked together in films like Deedar (1992), Suhaag (1994), Sapoot (1996), Lahu Ke Do Rang (1997), Dil To Pagal Hai (1997), Jaanwar (1999), Ek Rishta: The Bond of Love (2001), Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya (2002) and Mere Jeevan Saathi (2006).

    Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan is one such actor who has as much popularity outside India as he has inside it.

    Yep! Hrithik is very popular amongst people outside India for his Greek God-like features and for his crazy dance moves.

    I mean, you really have to think hard to find out if there's any dancer who's better than Hrithik when he's grooving to Bollywood music.

    Well, while we're all aware of his exceptional acting skills as fans, you may also remember that there have been times when the star has been surrounded by controversy.
    No, we're not talking about Kangana Ranaut at the moment.
    We're actually referring to there being rumors of him romancing Mexican model and actress Barbara Mori.
    © Pinterest
    It all started when Hrithik and Barbara had been shooting for the film Kites back in 2010.

    It was reported that their on-screen chemistry soon turned into a real-life one, and this happened when Hrithik was married to his ex-wife Sussanne Khan.
    © Instagram
    As per reports, Hrithik and Barbara got so close that it even impacted Sussanne's relationship with the star.

    It was reported that there was a time when Sussanne was so upset that she left the Roshan house and went to live with her parents.
    But despite stories coming out in the media, Hrithik continued to maintain that Barbara was just a good friend to him.
    However, did you know that Hrithik actually did something very special for Barbara?
    According to reports, Hrithik wanted her to feel right at home while working for the film and even gifted a super expensive vanity van that cost around Rs 1.5 to 2 Crore.
    It was reported that Barbara was seriously impressed by Hrithik's kind gesture and that she went on to travel only through the van later.
    However, Hrithik wasn't fussed about the constant link ups to Barbara, and said,
    "Why should it bother me? I'm a happy man with a happy family. And Barbara is a great friend. There is no need to react."
    Unfortunately, in 2013, Hrithik and Sussanne parted ways. However, both of them still maintain a good relationship.
    It was just recently reported that Hrithik may be currently dating actress Saba Azad.
    View this post on Instagram
    On the work front, Hrithik may be joining forces with Bollywood superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan in what could be a spy-universe film series.

    S. Sreesanth has been added to the Indian Premier League auction list at the age of 39, with a starting price of Rs 50 lakh. The fast bowler had also registered for the IPL auction last year, causing a stir among cricket circles. The then 38-year-old speedster from Kerala, however, did not make it to the final auction list announced by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). 
    Watching his name finally appear in the list of players who are qualified for bidding at the IPL 2022 mega auction, the speedster wrote a heartfelt message on Twitter, thanking all his well-wishers and asking his followers to keep him in their prayers and hope that he returns to the iconic tournament that the IPL has become.
    Love u all..can’t thank u all enough..lots of gratitude Thnks a lot..#grateful and alwys will be grateful to each and every try one of u..plss do keep me in ur prayers for final auction too..”om Nama Shivaya..” pic.twitter.com/XAyBGx9IVU

    After serving a seven-year suspension for his suspected role in the spot-fixing incident, the speedster played for Kerala in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy last year, taking four wickets. Sreesanth had set a base price of Rs 75 lakh for himself ahead of the 2021 season. This year, however, he did not play in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy or the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
    Sreesanth, who was previously regarded as one of the best right-arm fast bowlers in the world, was arrested in Mumbai in 2013 alongside two other Rajasthan Royals colleagues, Ankeet Chavan and Ajit Chandila, for their involvement in IPL spot-fixing. Despite the fact that his seven-year suspension was lifted last year, IPL clubs were hesitant to choose him.

    Even though he was absolved of his mistakes by the Indian Supreme Court back in 2019 and his spot-fixing allegations were no more of an official factor hindering his career as a cricketer, teams were simply not aboard the idea of having him on their roster because of his age, the lack of playing time and the presence of a lot of great pacers who are way younger than him and have registered their names at the base price as well.
    This time, a total of 590 players will be auctioned off, comprising 228 capped players, 355 uncapped players, and seven cricketers from associate nations. The auction will take place in Bengaluru on February 12-13.
    His fans have backed him a hundred per cent this time around and are not interested in anyone who has anything negative to say about the cricketer’s return to his greatest love for cricket.
    Congratulations brotherrr Very happy for you

    — Ravi Ranjan (@RaviRan85895845) February 1, 2022During school days I used to copy @sreesanth36 bowling action & that self motivating fist pump before the run up. He made fast bowling entertaining during those days. Hopefully we'll get to see that same agression again in #IPL this year.

    Hardik Pandya, who was last seen in action in the T20 World Cup last year, has been away from cricket for over two months due to injury. The all-rounder is set to return with the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). 
    Hardik has played for the five-time champions Mumbai Indians ever since he made his debut in the IPL. However, the franchise did not retain him ahead of the mega auction and the all-rounder was roped in by one of the two new IPL teams – Ahmedabad. Hardik, who hails from Gujarat, will be captaining an IPL team for the first time in his career.
    © Reuters
    While Hardik may not have the experience to lead an IPL team, he has played under the likes of MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma and the all-rounder wants to emulate the captaincy skills he has picked up from these stalwarts of Indian cricket.

    “There's no manual of learning how to become a captain. I've always been a person who likes to take responsibility and I am looking forward to the challenge. As a captain, I want to ensure all the players have enough time from me. That's what I've learnt and I'll make sure my doors will always be open for them,” Hardik was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.
    My journey with @mipaltan. I’ll carry these memories with me for the rest of my life, I’ll carry these moments with me for the rest of my life. The friends I’ve made, the bonds that were formed, the people, the fans, I’ll always be grateful. I’ve grown not just as a player but .. pic.twitter.com/AZ1D3y4Epi
    — hardik pandya (@hardikpandya7) December 2, 2021
    “From Virat, I would pick his aggression, passion and energy, which is tremendous. With Mahi bhai, I would pick the composed nature. From Rohit, I'll let the players decide what they want to do. These three qualities I'll take from them and bring here,” he added.
    Fans took little time before taking shots at Hardik for saying he will look to use Dhoni, Kohli and Rohit’s skills to do well as a captain in the IPL.

    — Indrajit.Ghose (@IndrajitGhose6) February 1, 2022Pandya’s bowling fitness has been a topic of interest among cricket fans and experts and speaking on whether he will roll his arm over in the 15th edition of the IPL, the all-rounder ducked the question by saying ‘it is a surprise for everyone.’
    A bowling-fit Hardik will do India’s chances at the upcoming T20 World Cup a world of good as it will provide the team with much-needed balance that was clearly lacking in the previous World Cup as well as in the recently-concluded ODI series in South Africa.

    Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal owes his success in international cricket to former India skipper MS Dhoni. His constant guidance from behind the stumps helped the Haryana leggie bowl better line and lengths and made him more effective.
    Even the spinner has, on multiple occasions, acknowledged the role Dhoni played in his swift transition from domestic to international cricket and how it helped him settle down in the Indian team.
    © Reuters
    No matter how skillful you are, it’s impossible for a player to perform well in every single match. Playing at the highest level, professional professional athletes are bound to have their off days where things don’t go their way, no matter how hard they try.

    When you are an experienced player, you know how to deal with these situations but for a youngster it’s really heartbreaking.
    © Reuters
    The 2018 tour of South Africa was a huge milestone for Chahal as he established himself as India’s leading spinner. His performance played a huge role in helping the visitors clinch both ODI and T20I series in the Rainbow Nation.

    It was a memorable tour for Chahal but there was one match where he got proper hiding and leaked 64 runs in his four-over spell, without picking up any wicket.
    © Reuters
    South Africa’s Heinrick Klaasen took him to the cleaners and Chahal ended up with his most expensive spell, conceding 16 runs an over.

    Despite trying everything, Chahal had no answer to Klaasen’s powerful hitting. In a moment like these, we all need someone to hold our hand and guide us through. For Chahal this role was fulfilled by Dhoni.
    © Reuters
    Watching him struggle, the former skipper walked up to him and asked him to not think about his performance too much and just concentrate on finishing his quota of overs.

    Recalling this whole incident on Ravichandran Ashwin’s YouTube show ‘DRS with Ash’, Chahal shared how Dhoni's advice helped him not take that performance to his heart.

    “Mahi bhai had told me to come around the wicket. I did that and he (Klaasen) hit me for a six over the biggest boundary at mid-wicket. Then Mahi bhai came to me and I asked, 'Yes Mahi bhai, ab kya karna hai? He said 'Kuch nahi, main to waise hi aa gaya tere paas.’ I know it's not your day, you are trying but it isn't happening. Zyada sochna nahi, apne chaar ka quota khatam kar aur chill kar,” Chahal said on Ashwin’s show.
    Dhoni asking Chahal to chill in the middle of his most expensive spell shows why people call him ‘Captain Cool’.

She stepped into the glamour industry as a model and it was because of her modelling, she was spotted by filmmaker Ravi Varman who cast her in Moscowin Kavery, which released in 2010. However, her debut movie is considered to be Gautham Vasudev Menon’s acclaimed Telugu film titled Ye Maaya Chesave, which released earlier in 2010. The Telugu romantic film had Naga Chaitanya play the lead role.

    She had also been in the news for her separation with her husband Naga Chaitanya. She shared a joint statement on social media which read, “To all our well-wishers.

    She was brutally trolled for putting an end to her relationship and even was blamed for probably cheating on him. Well, she wasn’t bogged down by all the hate that came her way but people on social media always find ways to troll her. Just recently, she came back from her vacation and was spotted stepping outside a salon in the Mumbai city. She was seen sporting a casual outfit and it was the caption of her t-shirt that got people talking. Also, as the t-shirt was rugged and ripped, people started trolling her.  
    Here’s the video:

    There were people who appreciated her for the caption and how it's the best way to give it back to her haters who trolled her for divorce. Then, there were people who trolled her for wearing a ripped t-shirt. One of the users mentioned that she charged an insane fee for her item song in Pushpa but she still chose to wear a torn t-shirt.  
    Here are the reactions:

    As per a report by iwmbuzz, she charged Rs 5 crore for that 3-minute dance number. A source told the portal, “Oh, she has charged a bomb for the Oo Antava dance number. Believe me, she was very reluctant. The film’s leading man Allu Arjun personally took the effort to convince her.”

    The source also added, “They had to pay her close to Rs 5 crore for that 3-minute dance number. She had some reservations about some of the dance movements. But gradually she got into the groove and didn’t demand that even one step be changed.” 
    Now, this is an insane remuneration making her one of the top paid actresses of the South movie industry.

    The latest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Spider-Man: No Way Home has turned out to be their second biggest at the US box office and third biggest at the global box office.  
    At the global box office, the film has collected $1.739 billion and is currently at the sixth position in all time grossers list. The top 5 films in the list include Avatar ($2.84 billion), Avengers: Endgame ($2.79 billion), Titanic ($2.20 billion), Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens ($2.069 billion) and Avengers: Infinity War ($2.048 billion).  
    At the US box office, the film is currently at the fourth spot with $736.8 million. The top 3 films in the list include Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens ($936.6 million), Avengers: Endgame ($858.3 million) and Avatar ($760.5 million).

    As you can see, Spider-Man: No Way Home will soon surpass Avatar at the US box office and will take the third spot. Beating a film that is the biggest grosser worldwide is a huge deal. 

    Funnily enough, Tom Holland wasn’t aware of it. This news was broken to him mid-interview, recently, and his reaction was pure gold. 
    At first he couldn’t believe it and confirmed with his team only to go “Holy Sh*t!”

    It so happened that while promoting his upcoming video game adaptation Uncharted, Tom was told in an interview with BackstageOL that Spider-Man: No Way Home is about to beat Avatar in the US and how does he feel about it? 

    Surprised by the news, he replied, “I think we are a bit away from having the biggest movie of all time right? No?”

    He was then told that Spider-Man: No Way Home is barely $20 million away in the US from surpassing Avatar.

    However, when it comes to the Royal Challengers Bangalore, all eyes are on their selection committee and the scouting reports. Fans wanted to know the top players that Bengaluru might be getting into a bidding war for, if push comes to shove during the auction.
    Former Indian cricketer, Aakash Chopra says that the biggest target on RCB’s scouting board belongs to the former Delhi Capitals skipper and batter Shreyas Iyer, who was ruled out of the first half of IPL 2021 because of a shoulder injury and later his captaincy was permanently handed over to his teammate Rishabh Pant.
    View this post on Instagram
    According to Chopra, Iyer might take home Rs. 15-16 crore by the end of his bidding war. However, he says that an insider source at the RCB has suggested that they might be willing to spend up to Rs. 20 crore just to see Iyer in their red, black and gold colours.

    Ever since Virat Kohli stepped down as the captain of the championship-less franchise at the end of the 2021 season of the IPL, there have been multiple speculations about who could become the team’s new skipper. A couple of months ago, there were reports about how the RCB might gun for Manish Pandey and make him the new leader, others felt that Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell might be chosen for the opportunity.
    However, chasing Iyer during the auction might not be a bad idea either. Back when he was the DC captain, he had a winning record and his side finished at the second spot at the points table as well. Iyer has specifically expressed wanting to captain a squad in the past and with his prowess as a batter in the shortest format of the game, he would be the greatest asset the RCB have had since recruiting Kohli back in 2008 and developing him into a true leader.
    But looking at the Bengaluru squad’s track record, disheartened fans aren’t seeing any light at the end of the tunnel and simply feel that they may still not win a championship despite having a new leader and a packed roster to support him:
    Even if RCB had extra 50cr in auction they will never win IPL

    Elaborating his concept with an example, the 31-year-old superstar said, "Like so there is this concept that when you get on a plane and flying to Bombay, would we all decide who will fly the plane? Like we should let the 300 people on the plane decide who is going to go on that plane? No, we let an efficient agency like the airlines decide who is most competent, or who understands the business or the best person possible to fly the plane."  
    Did he just say that he prefers Dictatorship more than democracy and not everyone should be allowed to vote?

    He also added, “Why are they having money swinger votes? Why are they having cheap alcohol swinger votes? It’s ridiculous. I am not even saying that rich people should vote. I think the middle class who have the most at stake and people who are educated and people who don’t get swung by a little money should vote. That is why I say everybody should not be allowed to vote because they don’t even know who they are voting for and why they are voting for.”

I’m having good intentions, you don’t know what’s good for you, maybe, but just stick to this and five or 10 years down the line it’s going to pay off. I think somewhere dictatorship is the right way but you need to have a good guy,” added the actor.  
    His remarks drew flak from people who bashed him for his ignorance of democratic values and even called him a ‘pretentious intellectual’.

    As the Indian cricket team prepares itself to host the touring West Indies side for a three-match ODI series starting on February 6, 2022, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the match’s official broadcast partner, Star Sports released a new rap song on the newly appointed ODI skipper Rohit Sharma.
    Titled ‘Naya Captain Rohit’, the song is composed by rapper RcR and is dedicated to one of the biggest names in the Men in Blue, Rohit Sharma, who has replaced Virat Kohli as the new skipper of the squad and will be playing in his first match since the coronation back in December 2021.
    The dawn of a new era for #TeamIndia led by #NayaCaptainRohit; gear up to #BelieveInBlue for the Paytm ODI Trophy #INDvWI!

    Get set for the action:

    While the song is catchy and portrays Sharma’s personality realistically and in the best way possible, not everyone felt that it was the best way to recognise the new captain. Furthermore, there are also a few people who were simply unimpressed with the song and even added that they preferred the one rap song Star Sports had created with Kohli as the centre of attention.
    I'm a rohit fan too but this song is not a inch closer to "kohli hai,kohli ka run barse Jaise hai" rap song published during 2016 t20 world cup. Link for reference https://t.co/pkI0rQlkoO

    — Rahul singh (@Vaibhav44128558) February 1, 2022Cringe x 100
    Low quality rap
    — 𝐑𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐢𝐢 (@kukreja_ravii) February 1, 2022Back in 2016, ahead of the T20 World Cup that year, Star Sports had also prepared a rap song for the then-white ball skipper of the squad Virat Kohli. His fans were already bragging about how the rap song from over six years ago continues to be better than Sharma’s song today.
    Although not everyone was a fan of Kohli’s rap back in the day, it did turn out to be rather catchy and over the years more and more people have revisited the ‘anthem’ and developed a taste for it.

    Yeah men and the rapper is name is Neazy

    One thing is for sure… whether it is the batters’ performance on the field, the power struggle related to the captaincy of the Indian cricket team or even their personal lifestyles, the two biggest names of the game in India have extremely dedicated fanbases who are always at each other’s throats trying to justify why their idol cricketer is better.
    Having said that, this will be for the first time since March 2021 that both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will be playing in the same ODI match together. While the followers of the game are keen to see how the Hitman performs under the added pressure of becoming the captain, they are also interested in seeing what good does the lack of captainship do to Kohli when he steps onto the pitch to bat.
