Not too long ago, the head of the Pakistan cricket board Ramiz RajaΒ made statements across the cricketing world that his country was once again absolutely safe for international teams to tour, play the game in, and spend some quality time with their mates, all the while giving a massive boost to their national economy.
However, his claims werenβt taken seriously when New Zealand cricketer Martin Guptillβs wife received a death threatΒ about her husband mere days ahead before the Kiwis were to begin touring Pakistan for a bilateral series. The Black Caps called off their tour and went back home. England followed suit and called off their tour while saying that the players were not feeling safe with the idea of visiting Pakistan.

A lot of drama has unfolded ever since. Raja called out the Western block (England, New Zealand and Australia) for cricket politics, and had guaranteed that West Indies cricket board that their players would be kept protected by the Pakistani forces throughout their time in the country.
Recently, the information about the security provided to the Windies squad was released by the Indo-Asian News Service (IANS) and it seems as if Raja was successful in creating a whole battalion to look after the good health of the visiting side and make a global statement while doing so.

During the matches at National Stadium, routes, practise grounds, parking areas, hotels, and other areas, a total of 46 DSPs, including 13 senior officers of the Karachi police, 315 NGOs, 3,822 constables and head constables, 50 women police personnel, 500 Rapid Response Force personnel, and 889 commandos of the Special Security Unit would perform security duties alongside the Karachi traffic police, according to the report.
Hereβs how the Indian fans of the game responded to the PCBβs βgo big or go homeβ tactic to ensure a peaceful execution of the Windies tour in Pakistan:

This is the Windiesβ first tour in the country in three years, ever since they were in the country to play in the shortest format of the game.

Within the time span of a month, Virat Kohli has been stripped of his captaincy in the T20I and the ODI format after the BCCI had continuously declined the rumors of such a development taking place and the position was awarded to his deputy-in-command, Rohit Sharma.
There are two types of Indian fans at the moment, first are those who were heartbroken and disappointed to see Kohliβs being forced to give up his leadership role, and those who were completely overjoyed. However, people from both groups were in agreement about Sharma becoming the successor given his accomplishments and the respect he commands as a senior player in the team.

Nonetheless, the Indian dressing room is nothing short of a daily soap as every single day there seems to be a new drama ready to erupt and dazzle the spectators with nail-biting twists and turns. In one of the latest episodes, reports have suggested that while the BCCI had planned to keep Sharma as only the T20I captain and Kohli as the ODI and Test captain, the former demanded to be given captaincy across the board when it came to limited-overs cricket.
Cricbuzz recently revealed that Sharma was adamant to take over the Indian captaincy in both T20Is and ODIs. This suggests that Kohli could still be the ODI captain had Sharma not put the Indian cricket board in such a dicey situation.

Back when Virat Kohli had announcedΒ that he was going to step down as the India captain in the shortest format of the game following the T20 World Cup, he had clearly stated that he would continue to be the captain of the squad in ODIs and Test matches.
It was also recently revealed that Virat Kohli was given a 48-hour ultimatum to step down from the position of the ODI captain as the BCCI wanted to announce Sharmaβs coronation ahead of declaring the Indian roster for the South Africa series.
The All-India Senior Selection Committee also decided to name Mr Rohit Sharma as the Captain of the ODI & T20I teams going forward.#TeamIndia | @ImRo45 pic.twitter.com/hcg92sPtCa
β BCCI (@BCCI) December 8, 2021
But since Kohli refused to comply, the cricket board did their thing without even giving a proper farewell to his captaincy and confirmed Sharmaβs new role via an extremely dry tweet. It took their graphics team one whole day to finally come up with a post for Kohli.
By the time it was published, his fans were way beyond disappointed and had reached the stage of mocking them for inefficiency and insensitivity, especially towards an absolute legend like Kohli who has a better winning percentage than Sourav Ganguly and MS Dhoni in ODIs.

We are set to start 2022 and bid farewell to 2021 but Bollywood sticks to tried and tested trends. The formula of probably a hit casting, according to filmmakers, is having an old and seasoned actor romance younger actress. Itβs an age-old trend that should probably end and new age pairings should be given a chance to entice the audience.Β
Actresses likeΒ Dia MirzaΒ and Amrita Rao have shared their opinions on this trend and they feel itβs high time that Bollywood needs to change its ways.Β
In an interview withΒ Bollywood Bubble, Amrita said, βInvariably, you are afraid of things changing. You are afraid of the whole perception changing and it happens to girls only. It doesnβt happen to guys. You can have a kid or two kids and still romance younger leading ladies. Life doesnβt change at all for the leading men but it changes a little for the leading ladies."
Dia, in an interview withΒ ETimes, said, βThe industry is male-dominated. Older men like to be cast opposite younger women to extend their own shelf life. It is bizarre that a 50 plus something actor is acting opposite a 19-year-old actress."
Itβs 2021, for Godβs sake and Bollywood is not even trying to get rid of this trend. Here are the movies of 2021 that continued with this trend!Β
1.Β Radhe: Salman Khan and Disha Patani
View this post on Instagram
Salman Khan has been dominating the Bollywood arena for years now. It was in 1988 he made his Bollywood debut and cut to 2021, he is still romancing younger actresses. He is 55 and he romanced Disha Patani who is 29 inΒ Radhe.Β
2.Β Toofan: Farhan Akhtar and Mrunal ThakurΒ
View this post on Instagram
Undoubtedly, Farhan Akhtar gave a praiseworthy performance inΒ ToofanΒ but thereβs no reason as to why he is shown romancing an 18 years younger Mrunal Thakur in the movie.Β
3.Β Bell Bottom: Akshay Kumar and Vaani KapoorΒ
View this post on Instagram
Akshay Kumar and Vaani KapoorβsΒ Bell BottomΒ received mixed reviews from critics and viewers. What made people call out Akshay was him being romantically involved with 21 years younger Vaani Kapoor in the movie.Β
4.Β Bhoot Police: Saif Ali Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez
The movie tanked at the box office as it couldnβt impress the audience through its content. People also questioned the casting as Saif, 51 was romantically paired with Jacqueline whoβs 36 years old.Β
5.Β Bhuj: The Pride of India: Ajay Devgn and Pranitha Subhash
Set in the backdrop of the 1971 Indo-Pakistan war,Β BhujΒ tells the story of an Indian Air Force officer, Vijay Karnik (played by Ajay Devgn), who reconstructed an Air Force base using the help of 300 women from Madhapar village. In the movie, we see Ajay Devgn, 52, falling in love with Pranitha Subhash, 29, in the movie.Β
6.Β Sooryavanshi: Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif
Not just inΒ Bell Bottom, Akshay was also seen romancing Katrina inΒ Sooryanvanshi. She was seen playing the role of his wife and the age gap between the two is around 16 years.Β
7.Β Atrangi Re: Akshay Kumar and Sara Ali KhanΒ
View this post on Instagram
There is a 28 years age gap between Akshay and Sara. The movie is yet to be released and the trailer hints at a possible romantic angle between the two but Aanand L Rai has asked everyone to βwatch the filmβ before making remarks about it or forming conclusions.Β
While talking to a leading publication, Aanand said, βAtrangi means funnily weird. If a filmmaker shows patience in making a film, itβs his small expectation that people wait and understand the reason behind such a cast. We have a habit of judging people. I want people to watch the film for two hours, and react to it thereafter.β
He further added, βI am not worried as a filmmaker. I am not here to make formulaic films. If I go wrong, I can be critiqued. People who make cinema learn with every effort. With every success, I learn whatβs right. With every failure, I learn what went wrong.β
What do you have to say about this trend? Let us know in the comments section below.Β
