    Ever since its release, Squid Game has broken all kinds of viewership records, becoming the most watched show on a popular streaming platform.

    As the name suggests, the show is based on a contest, where contestants are asked to play various childhood games in order to win a bumper prize money, with only caveat being that those who failed had to pay the price with their life.


    In one of the games, the participants are given β€˜Dalgona candies’ with different shapes carved on it and are asked to etch them out using a needle. By the look of it the game seems quite easy but it’s far from it and Team India players found out the same when they took on this challenge.

    India's limited-over vice-captain Rohit Sharma, his partner in crime KL Rahul, fast bowling duo of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami, middle-order batter Suryakumar Yadav and mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy all embraced this challenge but only a few of them succeeded. Thankfully, unlike the web series, here their life was not at stake.

    β€œIndia put to the test in nerve-wracking game. Indian Cricket Team stars are put to the test with a game made famous by one of the world's most talked about shows,” ICC wrote on Instagram, sharing the video.

    Chakravarthy, whose bowling arsenal is full of mystery, tried hard but it wasn't good enough and he was the first one to bow out of this challenge. He was followed by Suryaumar Yadav who broke his candy into pieces and lost the challenge. The story wasn’t different for Rahul and Bumrah either, both of whom crashed out at the exact same time.Β 

    The fast bowler, who is known for his toe-crushing yorkers, was glad that he wasn’t part of the actual Squid Game, otherwise he would have been dead.

    If you ask all those who failed they would say it was next to impossible but there were a couple of players who played the game with all seriousness and succeeded.

    These two players were none other than Rohit and Shami, who were able to etch out the shape from their candies without breaking it. In fact, Rohit was so invested that it felt as if he was actually part of the web series and was fighting for his life.

    While other players lost because they hurried, Rohit wanted to win anyhow and at one point he even tried to lick the candy and asked if he could get lighter. Shami, on the other hand, reaped rewards for being patient and not rushing through. β€œCheez bhin nikali hai to, time to lena padega,” he says in the video.

    What did you make of Indian cricketers' performance and how would you have fared in this challenge, let us know in the comments section below.

    In a development that no one saw coming, NCB officials on Thursday decided to raid Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's home Mannar, with the incident taking place right after the actor was spotted visiting his son Aryan in jail.
    As per reports, multiple teams of the Narcotics Control Bureau reached SRK's Bandra residence after apparently receiving some fresh information in the Aryan Khan cruise ship drug case.

    It is reported that even Bollywood actress Ananya Pandey's Mumbai house was raided in connection with the case.

    Earlier on Thursday, Shah Rukh was spotted visiting Aryan at the Arthur Road Jail following the bail denial a day prior in the cruise ship drugs case.
    SRK, who has for a long time cemented his status as one of Bollywood's biggest actors, has, in a way, been brought down to his knees by the case developed by the NCB against his son AryanΒ for the consumption of drugs.
    So far, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, all physical meetings at the jail had been prohibited, however, just after the curbs ended on Wednesday, SRK made sure to visit the jail in order to meet his eldest son, who has been behind bars since October 8.Β Β 
    Β© Twitter
    As per reports, SRK's meeting with Aryan lasted for about 16 to 18 minutes in the visitation section.

    The duo met while being separated by a glass partition between them with the conversation being over the intercom available at the jail.
    At the time of the meeting, the prison authorities were said to present around them.
    The meeting between SRK and his 23-year-old in jail is said to be the first meeting since he was arrested by NCB on October 2.
    Aryan was denied bail yet again on Wednesday following which the star kid has now approached the Bombay High Court to seek bail in the case.
    At the time the application for bail was rejected by the court, Judge VV Patil held that prima facie there is evidence against him.
    He wrote as to how even though Aryan was not found in possession of the drugs, he was good friends with Arbaaz Merchant and that they had both travelled together to the International Cruise Terminal on the day of the raid.
    Patil said both friends spoke about drugs, meaning that Aryan knew about the contraband.Β 
    All eyes are now on the result of the raid by the NCB at Mannat.Β

    The warm-up match between India and Australia turned out to be very eventful. First, it was Rohit Sharma who walked into the match as the captain instead of Virat Kohli, then it was confirmed that Kohli will be playing as a bowler and was at the very end of the Indian batting lineup.
    While we’ve discussed the future of the Indian cricket team in the T20I format under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma after the T20 World Cup 2021, let’s talk about Kohli and the two overs that he bowled against the Aussies.
    Yes. Think they have no options but to bank on Kohli to bowl two overs. On these slow conditions, large outfield, he can escape with two overs. But always going to be a huge risk.
    β€” Venkata Krishna B (@venkatatweets) October 20, 2021
    In the 12 balls that Kohli delivered, he only gave away 12 runs and was one of the more efficient bowlers for the Men in Blue. However, there was a moment in the match, when Aussie hitter Steve Smith was on strike and Kohli’s bowling action completely threw him off.
    The Australian could be seen completely dazed by the fact that Kohli was getting some decent swing as he leaked a smile. He also couldn’t help but make fun of his Indian counterpart’s β€˜unorthodox’ bowling action.

    Unable to understand exactly how was it that Kohli was bowling, Smith kept trying to mimic his action with his right hand after multiple deliveries. The two legends of modern-day cricket, Kohli, and Smith are great friends and therefore the banter was taken lightly by both sides.
    The fans of the Indian cricket team also enjoyed the Indian skipper’s rare show, not as a batter but as a bowler and a tailender. Here’s how they reacted:

    β€” Abhimanyu Mathur (@MadCrazyHatter_) October 20, 2021Having said that, the time for jokes and fun is not over as India have played both their warm-up matches, and with the kind of hard-hitting they did against England and Australia, respectively, it seems as if the Men in Blue are prepared for the T20 World Cup 2021.
    Their first challenge of the tournament will be in the form of the Pakistani squad whom they will play on October 24, 2021 (Sunday) at the Dubai International Cricket Ground. The last time the two sides played was back in 2019 during the World Cup in England.
    India remains undefeated against Pakistan in T20I and ODI World Cup ever since the inception of international cricket.

    With just three days to go for the Indian cricket team to begin their T20 World Cup 2021 campaign, a feeling of uncertainty continues to loom around Hardik Pandya and his ability to deliver as a bowler.
    And it was rather disappointing to see the Indian all-rounder not being able to deliver a couple of overs due to health reasons, despite undergoing surgery and being in rehab for about two years now.
    Surgery done successfully

    Extremely grateful to everyone for your wishes Will be back in no time! Till then miss me pic.twitter.com/XrsB8bWQ35

    During the toss for the India-Australia warm-up match, Indian skipper for the day, Rohit Sharma had addressed Pandya’s situation while foreshadowing that it won’t be anytime soon that the fans will get to see him in action as a bowler.
    β€œHardik is coming along pretty well, but it'll be a while before he will start to bowl. He hasn't started bowling, but he should be ready by the start of the tournament," Sharma said, albeit agreeing that having him bowl in the first match against Pakistan might be wishful thinking.
    View this post on Instagram
    Sharma then suggested the squad’s backup option, just in case Pandya’s long road to recovery doesn’t come to an end in the next couple of days.
    "Possibly, we need to find that sixth option. Myself, Virat, and Suryakumar (Yadav)… All those guys need to come in and bowl to see who can be that sixth option… Not really worried about the balance. Even if you play with five bowlers, we have got the quality. But always you need that sixth option to free your bowlers, in case someone has a bad day. It's always nice to have options when you're playing a tournament as big as the World Cup.”

    Later in the day, it was Kohli who was seen delivering a couple of overs to the Aussies, including Glenn Maxwell, Steve Smith, and Marcus Stoinis, three of Australia’s fiercest hitters, just to gauge exactly how good or bad would it be to be able to deliver a couple of overs and take away some responsibility off Pandya’s shoulders.
    Even the commentators speculated that the Indian cricket team was seriously speculating the chances of giving a couple of overs under Kohli’s quota. During the 12 balls that Kohli bowled, he only gave away 12 runs and was rather economical, considering the shortest format of the game.

    So don’t be surprised if you see Kohli try and create some magic with the ball in the first few matches of the tournament and if this strategy somehow works out, he might just take up the role of a temporary bowler on a more regular basis moving forward.

    You can’t ask an Indian to quit pani puri, papdi chaat or moong dal halwa, especially during the festive season. It’s too deep in our system.

    You get only a few festivals in a year to cheat on your super healthy diet. It wouldn’t be fair if we place another diet chart in your hand to follow. However, it’s also necessary to warn you about some of the common diet mistakes you might be making.Β 
    These mistakes are not hard to avoid but if not considered, they can worsen severe health conditions like diabetes, blood pressure, obesity, etc.Β Β Β Β Β Β 
    To help give you a headstart, we have cherry-picked some of the most salient diet mistakes people make while enjoying the festive food.
    Mistake 1: Reusing OilFestive food involves a lot of frying and we all have reused the oil at some point. Maybe we cooked a vegetable in the oil that was used to fry samosas, but we often do it without realising its effect on our body. It’s not just us, even the sweet shops make the same mistake.Β Β 
    Reusing the oil can create free radicals which harm the body by clogging the arteries, causing acidity and heartburn. This goes without saying that you should be careful while purchasing sweets and other fried snacks.Β 
    Opt for baked and steamed options such as vegetable chips, quinoa puffs, dhokla or khandvi.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__2374__
    __ECOMPRODUCT__749__
    Mistake 2: Saying No To A Balanced DietIt’s okay to consume unhealthy foods for a few days as long as you’re balancing them with enough vegetables and other nutrients. The food we eat while fasting also includes fried chips and sabudana vada. Not exactly the healthiest options.
    So when you’re eating these items, load half of your plate with essential vitamins and minerals in the form of vegetables. Pick baked munchies instead of friend namkeen and potato chips.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__2672__
    __ECOMPRODUCT__2605__
    Mistake 3: Forgetting To Count Calories In DrinksAlcohol, cocktails and soft drinks contain a lot of kilocalories. These calorie bombs can lead to dehydration and make you feel more hungry. Empty calories and a high amount of sugar in such drinks are not good for your health but if you still plan to consume them, do count the calories.Β 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__2534__
    __ECOMPRODUCT__2617__
    __ECOMPRODUCT__2673__
    Mistake 4: Not Consuming Enough WaterΒ Drinking more water during holidays can help you neutralise the alcohol content in your body. Plus soft drinks too can dehydrate your body so you’ll need water to detox and rehydrate.Β 
    Coconut water and energy drinks are healthy and tasty alternatives to both water and soft drinks. They are especially great for diabetics.Β 
    Diabetics are often dehydrated because they have weak kidneys. When kidneys start overworking, they expel fluids at a rapid speed. Thus, it is very important for diabetics to drink enough water to prevent dehydration.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__2674__
    Mistake 5: Too Much White Sugar + White FlourIt’s a dangerous combination for weight watchers. Use whole-grain flours like wheat and jaggery or stevia. Avoid sweets with silver coating as they are adulterated with aluminium which is not good for your health. Sweets with artificial colours and chemical preservatives can also damage your liver and kidneys. Consume jaggery coated nuts instead of milk-based sweets. You can use stevia in the sweets you make at home to avoid all health risks.

    The BottomlineIn this health-conscious era, there are plenty of ways to blend health and taste. There’s no need to deprive yourself of your favourite food as long as you know how to eat smart.Β

    Winning both their warm-up games against quality sides like England and Australia, Indian cricket team rang a warning bell for all the other teams ahead of the start of the Super 12 stage of ICC T20 World Cup 2021.
    Regular skipper Virat Kohli was rested for the game, well not actually as he did bowl two overs, as India looked to try out the sixth-bowling option. Bowling after a long time, he delivered two economical overs, conceding only 12 runs.

    Apart from his bowling, his other major contribution in the game came in form of an advice that he gave to leg-spinner Rahul Chahar and it helped him get rid of the dangerous-looking Glenn Maxwell.
    Carrying on his IPL form, the RCB all-rounder stitched a crucial partnership with Steve Smith for the fourth wicket and helped the Aussies recover from three early setbacks. Having faced enough deliveries, Maxwell was ready to go all out on the Indian bowlers but his innings was brought to an end by Chahar in the 12 over of the innings.

    Maxwell, who is known for his innovative shots, started the over by reverse-sweeping Chahar for a boundary on the very first ball. Maxwell was clearly trying to play with the mind of young Indian leggie and Kohli, who captained Maxwell in the just-concluded IPl, sensed that and straightaway took him under his arm and shared an important piece of advice.
    Following Kohli’s advice, Chahar bowled an outside off-stump line which moved further away from Maxwell after pitching, making it extremely difficult to slog-sweep him. Kohli’s wisdom and Chahar’s execution worked wonders as Maxwell fell into the trap and was played on.
    The International Cricket Council (ICC) shared a video of the incident on its Instagram account and praised Kohli for coming up with a genius plan to get rid of his RCB teammate.

    β€œMaxwell's lovely reverse-sweep. Kohli's advice to Chahar Chahar fires back with a wicket. There's a lot to appreciate in this passage of play,” ICC captioned the video on Instagram.
    Fans were divided in their opinions as some praised Kohli’s brilliant advice, while others felt that it was Chahar who deserved the credit for doing all the hard work but it was Kohli who stole the limelight. Some fans even joked that by helping out Chahar, Kohli had betrayed his IPL teammate.

    β€” Dnyanraj Nil.nk 02 (@Dnyanraj0) October 20, 2021No matter which side you are on, one thing is for sure that it’s hard to keep Kohli out of a game. Whether his advice helped Chahar or not that’s debatable but the fact that he was ready to help out a young bowler shows how brilliant of a leader he is.
    With this being his final hurrah as T20 skipper, we are sure that all the players will be eager to win it for him and give him the farewell that he deserves.

    Emraan Hashmi is one versatile Bollywood actor who continues to astonish fans by taking up interesting projects every now and then.Β 
    The 42-year-old actor never shies away from trying on roles that may be risky in terms of failure and the box office, which is the exact reason why his fans love watching him in all sorts of movies.
    Β© Prime Video
    Now, while Emraan has played a part in comedies, serious content-oriented films as well as romantic ones, one genre that he loves to be a part of is horror, with the actor doing a high number of movies to provide a good scare to his viewers.

    Now, the latest horror film that he is going to be a part of is Amazon Original's Dybbuk, the trailer for which was released on Wednesday.

    Now, seeing by the trailer, the movie sure looks like a spine-chilling experience for all Emraan as well as horror fans, in general.
    In the trailer of Dybbuk, which stars Emraan alongside Nikita Dutta and Manav Kaul, one can see Nikita's character opening a box that frees an evil spirit that had been trapped inside of it.
    Now, as soon as the evil entity is let loose, it starts a chain of strange and scary events upon Nikita's character, who married Emraan's character in the film.
    Β© Prime Video
    Dybbuk itself is something that comes out of Jewish folklore, with the word actually used for describing a malicious possessing spirit that is believed to be the dislocated soul of a dead person.

    This is pretty much what is shown in the trailer as well, with Emraan's character looking to find a way to free his family from the evil spirit.
    Now, while his character is tasked with saving his wife, Manav plays a priest in the film who takes the responsibility of performing a sort of exorcism to get rid of the evil spirit.Β Β 
    The upcoming Amazon original movie is actually a Hindi remake of the Malayalam horror film Ezra which had starred Prithviraj Sukumaran in the lead role.
    In recent times, Bollywood looks to have put its focus on producing more horror movies, with many actually being horror-comedies, a formula that seems to have been working since the release of Rajkumar Rao's Stree.
    Well, we sure cannot wait to watch Emraan Hashmi back in a horror film!Β
