Elation turned to despair as Rahul Tripathi smashed Ravichandran Ashwin for a straight six down the ground and confirmed Kolkata Knight Riders’ spot in the final of the IPL 2021 against Chennai Super Kings.
WHAT. A. FINISH! @KKRiders hold their nerve and seal a thrilling win over the spirited @DelhiCapitals in the #VIVOIPL #Qualifier2 & secure a place in the #Final. #KKRvDC
Scorecard https://t.co/eAAJHvCMYS pic.twitter.com/Qqf3fu1LRt
— IndianPremierLeague (@IPL) October 13, 2021 Ashwin, who has been named in India’s T20 World Cup squad, was entrusted with the responsibility of defending seven runs in the last over and he did well for the first four balls, conceding no more than a single, in addition to picking two crucial wickets.
At one point, it seemed like he would seal the deal for his team and help them reach their second consecutive IPL final, but Tripathi’s lusty blow on the penultimate delivery of the final over sent them crashing out of the tournament.
No matter what, this team's got our heart #YehHaiNayiDilli #IPL2021 #KKRvDC pic.twitter.com/WwsttkdAyj
— Delhi Capitals (@DelhiCapitals) October 14, 2021 Reacting to Ashwin’s performance for Delhi Capitals throughout the IPL 2021, Sanjay Manjrekar ripped into the off-spinner, describing him as a complete waste in the shortest format.
However, Manjrekar did clarify that in Test cricket, Ashwin is a great asset to have but when it comes to T20 cricket, he wouldn’t ever pick someone like him in his team.
The cricketer-turned-commentator further argued that when a player is going through a lean patch there is still a hope that he would bounce back strongly. But with Ashwin, it wasn’t the case because he has been bowling in this same template for several years now.

“We have spent far too much talking about Ashwin. Ashwin, the T20 bowler, is not a great force in any team. And if you want Ashwin to change, I don't think that's going to happen because he's been like this for the last five-seven years. I can understand us dwelling on Ashwin in Test matches where he's fantastic. Him not playing a single Test match in England was a travesty. But to spend so much time on Ashwin when it comes to IPL and T20 cricket,” Manjrekar said on ESPNCricinfo.
“I think he has shown us in the last five years that he's bowled exactly the same and I would never have somebody like Ashwin in my team because if I got turning pitches, I would expect people like Varun Chakravarthy or Sunil Narine or [Yuzvendra] Chahal and how they do their job, they get you wickets," he added.

The carrom ball expert is one of the most loved cricketers on social media and normally, whenever Manjrekar says anything against him, his fans always come out in his defence. However, this time around, a major chunk of fans switched sides and agreed with Manjrekar’s analysis.
They also felt that Ashwin’s performance in the IPL was below-average and while he continues to impress in red-ball cricket, he doesn’t have that spark in him to succeed in the shortest format.
Pehli baar isne kuch sach logical baat kiya
— jay parikh (@jayparikh21) October 14, 2021 Tbh, he said it right.
— Kohlified (@_utxarshh) October 14, 2021 Sahi bola aaj
— Mahesh Patil (@MaheshP91341518) October 14, 2021 For the first time i agree with him.
— Aditya Lamba (@AdityaLamba19) October 14, 2021 Sanju manju speaking some sense finally
— P`` (@KollyfiedGal) October 14, 2021 Gotta agree. Ashwin is a mediocre T20 bowler, amazing test bowler though
— Nope. (@Sufiyan08009357) October 14, 2021 Agree this time.
— Rahul malik (@Rahul_Rohit3) October 14, 2021 Ashwin’s performance for Delhi Capitals this year was not something to write home about as he could only pick seven wickets in 13 games. His performance dipped considerably from last season because playing on the same surfaces last year, the former CSK player had picked up 13 wickets in 15 outings.
However, this year while other spinners enjoyed bowling on the spin-friendly tracks in UAE in the second half of the competition, Ashwin couldn’t make most of the conditions on offer.
Rather than relying on his stock off-spinning delivery, Ashwin bowled too many variations and it hampered his line and length so much so that he became the least threatening bowler in his side, despite being the most experienced.

Washington Sundar’s injury opened a window of opportunity for the 35-year-old spinner as he earned a place in India’s limited-overs squad for the first time since 2016. However, given how he has performed in the year, it’s highly unlikely that he will feature in India’s Playing XI and he has no else but himself to blame.

With just a couple of days to go for the T20 World Cup 2021 to begin, the Indian cricket team revealed their fan jersey for the tournament called the ‘Billion Cheers Jersey’. It is designed to pay homage to the die-hard fans of the team and their cheering has been converted into noise frequency patterns running diagonally on the t-shirt.
It looks decent and the boys look pretty good wearing them as well. However, it is the poster in which Indian cricketers KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, and Jasprit Bumrah are seen featuring, that has seemingly created a big stir among the fans.
View this post on Instagram
Twitter user @NotMK45 recently shared the same picture from his social media handle suggesting that the team vice-captain Rohit Sharma was pointing towards ‘India’ printed on the jersey, while the rest of his teammates were pointing towards the BCCI logo, implying that Sharma plays for the country while others play for their cricket board which pays them big money.
Everyone pointing to BCCI Logo meanwhile Rohit Sharma pointing towards India!#MyCaptain pic.twitter.com/lHS4ScLGml
— MK (@NotMK45) October 13, 2021
As petty as that sounds, the message seems to have triggered a lot of people for a lot of reasons, all of whom flocked to the Twitter post to vent their frustrations.
First, there are people who backed up this claim and praised ‘Hitman’ for always putting his nation ahead of everything else, including money. They called him “the most genuine player of this current era” and asked others to learn from him.
Coz he stands and plays for our nation.. He is most genuine player of this current era.. some people still have opportunity to learn from him
— Yogeshwar Patil (@yogeshwarp27) October 13, 2021Yes. Agree. He always keep India first. He has proved many time.
— NAVEEN (@imnaveenchamoli) October 14, 2021Thats why we love this man
— AKASH GADEKAR (@IAkash45) October 13, 2021Simplicity level
— IDGAF (@Nikk_tweet) October 13, 2021Then there were people who said that Sharma wasn’t pointing towards ‘India’ but the Byju’s logo and even went on to try and explain what he meant by pointing towards the team’s sponsor.
Virat, Jaddu, and Boom are pointing towards BCCI and Rohit is pointing towards Byju's. What are you looking at Andhbhakts? And this doesn't mean he plays for money, he meant to point at BCCI but isn't.
— Suhit Data (@ImSDataa) October 13, 2021Not like that, he may be saying to youth study well and play well.
— Kola Naresh (@KolaNar07754757) October 14, 2021Lmao he is pointing towards BYJu's...
— Say My Name (@ShreeHanuman2) October 13, 2021Byjus hai woh
— Dhruv (@Dhruv301203) October 13, 2021And finally, there was a whole lot of people who were simply curious about whatever it was that KL Rahul was doing with his jersey while standing in one corner grabbing it with his fist:
Rahul checking kapde ki quality
— Sahilism.||RO Rish STAN 45*17 (@hitman_sahil) October 13, 2021By this logic, Rahul Ko bhook lag raha hai aur neend bhi aa raha hai
— baby driver is perspicacious (@potatopuhtato) October 13, 2021Meanwhile KL Trying to get Rid of It
— Cric Art (@cric_art_) October 13, 2021And KL Rahul was trying to tie his nada and someone immediately clicked his pic...
— KABIR SADH REQUESTS YOU TO WEAR A MASK (@KabirSadh) October 13, 2021The argument only goes on to show the kind of impact the game of cricket has on its fans who will stop at nothing to talk about their favourite cricketers and why they are so well-regarded in this country.
Which logo do you think Sharma is pointing towards in this picture and does it make any difference to your opinion? Let us know in the comments below!

You shut down your laptop after a long day of work and decide to watch the newest show that’s creating a buzz online.
From watching one episode after another to having one snack after another, you end up replacing your dinner with empty calories.
What’s even worse? You decide to get into bed and try to sleep.
We all know what happens next.
You turn, twist and think about how you would survive if you were in the Squid Game. Wouldn’t it be cool if we could play those games in real life?
Before you know it, you’re learning how to make honeycomb cookies on Instagram and it’s already 4:00 AM.
©Giphy.com
We’ve all been there, night after night and we get that lifestyle habits are hard to let go of.
Instead, why don’t we start small and take care of our diet first?
Here are five important supplements that you must get in your diet in order to improve your sleep patterns.
Omega-3 Supplements We know of Omega-3 Fatty Acids as one of the most important nutrients for your heart health. However, researchers have also found that this nutrient helps in regulating serotonin levels.
__ECOMPRODUCT__2638__
High cortisol or stress hormones can cause dysregulated sleep and keep you up for hours. Low levels of Omega-3 are also linked with lower levels of Melatonin which is essential for good sleep.
Melatonin Strips Melatonin or the sleep hormone is a naturally occurring hormone in our bodies. It helps your body relax and fall asleep. However, too much stress can sometimes decrease the levels of this essential hormone.
__ECOMPRODUCT__2639__
These Melatonin strips are great supplements for anyone suffering with sleep deficiency. All that you need to do is place a strip on your tongue, 30-45 minutes prior to sleeping and you’ll doze off into the most relaxing slumber.
Magnesium & Calcium Magnesium helps in activating the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for inducing feelings of relaxation and calm. Calcium helps in Melatonin production. Deficiency of these two nutrients may cause sleep dysregulation and restlessness in bed.
__ECOMPRODUCT__2640__
This supplement has both calcium and magnesium. Dissolve one effervescent tablet in 250 ml. of water and consume it daily.
Metabolism & Energy Boosting Supplements Poor sleep quality can lead to slower metabolism. If you are someone who struggles with sleep deficiency, you may also want to work on improving your metabolism and stamina.
__ECOMPRODUCT__2641__
Poor metabolism can lead to even more stress and you'll be stuck in an endless cycle. This is why, taking these metabolism boosting supplements, alongside Melatonin supplements, may help you improve your overall health too.
Tryptophan Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that helps in producing Serotonin and Melatonin. Both these hormones are important for better sleep and a calmer mind. In fact, this nutrient is also linked with reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression in adults.
You can get these nutrients in nuts and seeds like chia and sesame seeds, along with eggs, beans and oats.
Goodbye Naps, Hello Deep Sleep ©Giphy.com
Now, you can finally get the 8 hours of sleep that you need, without any disruptions.
If improving your lifestyle and eating habits is not helping you sleep better, it may be time to visit a professional. Sometimes, it’s just everyday stress that keeps you up at night and other times, it may be a deeper issue.

The long-living legacy of Mauka Mauka advertisements remains unbeaten as Star Sports once again released another commercial from the series, featuring, Vishal Malhotra, the man who has been playing the role of the Pakistani fan for half a decade or so.
This time around, the scenes have shifted to a Dubai mall, more specifically, a shop for electronic items. Our ‘Mauka Mauka’ guy enters the store owned by a Sikh shopkeeper with a box of crackers and asks for a “bada TV” because he is confident that his side will win against India in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2021 and he would want to experience it on a big screen.
Naya #MaukaMauka, naya offer - #Buy1Break1Free!
Are you ready to #LiveTheGame in #INDvPAK?
ICC Men's #T20WorldCup 2021 | Oct 24 | Broadcast starts: 7 PM, Match starts: 7:30 PM | Star Sports & Disney+Hotstar pic.twitter.com/MNsOql9cjO
— Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) October 13, 2021
He talks about some of the biggest names of their squad including Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, and their ability to hit powerful sixes. He brags about how they will smash the Indian side so badly that their shots will end up breaking windows in Delhi.
India’s Lovely Paaji listens to his big talks calmly, asking his assistant to bring out a pair of televisions. He then recommends the Pakistani fan to buy both of them because he will be smashing the first one after his side gets defeated again and will need the second one as insurance.
The last cheeky jab relates to the long-running gag of the Pakistani fan breaking his television in the past whenever there is an India-Pakistan match during the world cup and his side ends up on the losing end.
Indian fans did not take long to start trolling their Pakistani counterpart and got into it as soon as the commercial went live on Twitter:
Plz don't promote unrealistic expectations!!!!
A vast majority in can't afford a single TV and you are asking them to buy 2 !!!

— Rajesh Raut (@RajeshR42428877) October 13, 2021Epic this mauka mauka always hits different
— Kush Thacker (@kd__thacker) October 13, 2021India remains undefeated against Pakistan in all T20 and ODI world cups there have ever been.
The Men in Blue will be facing off against Azam’s Pakistani squad in their very first match of the tournament in the Super 12 round on October 24, 2021, at the Dubai International Stadium.
This world cup tournament will be special for the Indian side, especially because it will be the last time Virat Kohli will be leading the squad as captain. Back in September, Kohli had announced that he will be resigning from the skipper’s position in the shortest format of the game in order to manage his workload and focus better on being the world-class batter that he is.

For the third year in a row, Delhi Capitals were in the top-three during the regular season but got knocked out in the playoffs of the Indian Premier League. However, this time around, the angry fans are blaming their opener, Shikhar Dhawan, for being the one who started off extremely slow and didn’t help his side get enough runs to protect in the second half of the match.
View this post on Instagram
Opening the batting with Prithvi Shaw, the 35-year old southpaw batter took 39 deliveries to put up 36 runs on the board. During his time on the pitch, he hit just one 4 and two 6’s.
His opening partner, Shaw had a rather stormy start in the power play and struck two 4’s and one 6 in the first 11 balls that he had faced. After scoring 18 runs, he lost his wicket to an LBW appeal by Varun Chakravarthy.
WICKET!
Varun Chakravarthy does the job for #KKR as he traps Prithvi Shaw in front for 18.

— Sportskeeda India (@Sportskeeda) October 13, 2021
Then came Marcus Stoinis at the number three spot and this is potentially where the match slipped out of the hands of Rishabh Pant’s side. When Shaw lost his wicket, the DC scoreboard read 32/1 in 4.1 overs. By the time Stoinis got out, Dhawan and he had managed to put up just 39 runs in 44 deliveries.
Things got even worse by the time Dhawan lost his wicket as at that point, DC were at 83/3 in 14.1 overs and in big trouble too.
Sikhar dhawan played very slow
If sikhar add just 10 run more so delhi will win this match
— Cp purohit (@chandusevak10) October 14, 2021Sending Stoinis at no.3 and Dhawan slow batting cost Delhi capitals show much ! #DelhiCapitals#KKRvDC
— Rajat Bajpai (@Rajatbajpai6) October 13, 2021Dhawan and Stoinis slow strike rate costed match for delhi , Hard luck @DelhiCapitals . #KKRvDC #IPL2021
— Anuj (@Anuj40574036) October 13, 2021Still 135 is never going to win you matches. Trio Of Dhawan, Stoinis and Iyer played too slow in middle. All they needed was to bat with SR of 100-110 and they would have easily crossed 150. Then the terrible run out of hetmyer too costed 5-10 runs. Overall they panicked.
— #WEWANTXAVI (@ShashankSatyam0) October 13, 2021Yup ..kya kar sakte ..
Runs hi nai banaoge toh defend kya karoge ..
Slow players in team ..dhawan n iyer
— kawaljeet singh Bacher (@VickySi75961809) October 13, 2021Shikhar Dhawan slow innings troubled delhi..
What is your opinion?
Don't blame spin bowling ..
Akshar and Ashwin are far better with varun and narraine . @DeepDasgupta7 @IrfanPathan @ESPNStatsInfo #UnacademyAskTheExperts
— Ashish Shivhare (@Ashishshiv096) October 13, 2021However, to be fair to the leading batter, the Sharjah pitch, which is commonly known to be a batting-friendly space, was completely unpredictable. There was uneven bounce and the turn on some of the deliveries made it borderline impossible to gauge the direction in which the ball would go after the bounce.
Additionally, Dhawan has been one of the most consistent batters in the entire league this season. In the 16 matches that he had played, he scored 587 runs with a strike rate of 124.62 and was the third leading run-scorer in the race for the orange cap.

Unfortunately, by the time it was Kolkata Knight Riders’ turn to bat, the Sharjah pitch had retained much of its batting-friendly characteristics, and their opener, Venkatesh Iyer made the most of it, scoring a mighty 55 off 41 deliveries. However, Iyer’s partner Shubman Gill played a relatively slow innings and scored 46 runs in as many balls.
Having said that, one has to give credit to the exceptional bowling attack that the Delhi team has. Not only were they able to stretch the match till the very last over, but they were also within winning distance if they'd had just a few more runs to defend.

Ever since Aryan Khan has been detained by NCB along with several others after a cruise party was raided, the topic has been the centre of all discussions on Twitter with people sharing their opinions on the entire episode.
After the court hearings, it was revealed that NCB hadn’t found any drugs on him but they were investigating his WhatsApp chats followed by the court rejecting his bail plea. "Aryan Khan sourced drugs and was in touch with some persons abroad who appear to be a part of an International Drug Network for illicit procurement of drugs. WhatsApp chats reveal the accused was in touch with a foreign national for a bulk quantity of hard drugs," the statement of the anti-drugs agency read.
View this post on Instagram
Just a few days ago, it was revealed that no special treatment has been given to Aryan. According to a report in India Today, Aryan has not been getting any special privileges as far as his food is concerned either. He is reportedly eating the food that is supplied at the NCB mess, just like the others.
It has been almost six days since Aryan Khan has been lodged at Mumbai's Arthur Road Jail. Now, some shocking details about Aryan’s condition in the jail have found their way to social media. According to a report in Bollywoodlife, Aryan is having a really tough time in jail. And here's what the online reports suggest about his health:
1. Aryan hasn’t been consuming the food that’s served to all the other inmates in the jail. He has been surviving on biscuits taken from the jail canteen. SRK, who’s in constant touch with the authorities, is also worried about his health.
View this post on Instagram
2. He hasn’t been drinking enough water in order to avoid using the jail’s toilet. The jail authorities are also concerned about his health and have been asking him to use the toilet but he hasn’t been responding to them in this regard.
3. Aryan has not taken a bath for the past four days and the authorities are now worried about his personal hygiene.
View this post on Instagram
4: He had bought around 12 bottles of water from the jail canteen when he arrived. According to the report, he has already exhausted most of them and now has only three bottles left.
View this post on Instagram
5: Aryan is also not talking to anyone and only responds when something is asked of him. He is also constantly maintaining that he is not hungry.
The jail authorities are now really concerned about his health and it remains to be seen if they'll take any action regarding the matter.

Varun Chakravarthy has been one of the key orchestrators of the Kolkata Knight Riders’ (KKR) remarkable comeback in the second leg of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021.
Alongside Sunil Narine, he has been KKR’s most consistent bowler, bowling inside the powerplay, towards the death, picking crucial wickets, all this while conceding less than seven runs an over.

Facing RCB in the Eliminator, the mystery spinner bowled an economical spell, conceding only 20 runs in his four overs. His tight bowling dried out the run-scoring opportunities in the middle overs and Virat Kohli’s men failed to post a challenging total.
In the Qualifier 2 against Delhi Capitals, he not only stopped the run flow but also dismissed their most in-form batters in Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan.

Despite his brilliant bowling, there is something that has angered the Indian cricket team fans, who are furious with the fact that he has chosen to play for KKR, despite not being 100 percent fit.
Varun Chakravarthy limping off wasn't a good sign ...
— Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) October 13, 2021
He was seen limping off the pitch during the Qualifier 2 in Sharjah and fans believe if he continues to play for KKR, he might aggravate his knee injury and could even miss the T20 World Cup, which is just around the corner.
Chakravarthy has been picked as a surprise package in India’s T20 World Cup squad and if he could remain fit, there is no doubt he would be the front-runner to lead India’s spin-bowling attack alongside all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja.
© Twitter KKR
According to reports, Chakravarthy’s knee injury was first reported after KKR’s last league match but he still kept on playing for his franchise in the playoffs, two matches within 72 hours.
As per a Press Trust of India report, Chakravarthy’s knees are not in the greatest of conditions and he has played the last couple of matches for his franchise through extreme pain.
The grimness of the situation can be gauged from the fact that had it not been for the T20 World Cup, the selectors wouldn’t have risked him playing.
© Twitter IPL
“Varun’s knees are not in the greatest condition. He is in pain and trust me, had it not been in a T20 World Cup, perhaps even Indian team management wouldn’t have taken the risk of playing him,” a BCCI source was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.
Now, the question is if his condition is this serious then why, instead of resting, is he still playing for the franchise?
Isn't the Indian team more important than any IPL franchise? Where are the selectors? Why haven’t they asked him to give himself ample rest ahead of the World Cup? Who is taking calls for him -- the player himself or the franchise is forcing him to play?
© Twitter IPL
These are all questions that need to be answered but only one player can answer and unless he decides to, we might never know what is transpiring behind the scenes.
On one hand, we have Kolkata Knight Riders, who have ignored a World Cup-bound player’s obvious injuries and made him play, threatening India’s chances at the mega event.
Their seemingly selfish act has turned many fans against them and they are now voicing their opinions on social media.
This #KKR is a very selfish team.... hurting Indian team chances for IPL https://t.co/SY2VkYT3NH

There's another franchise not bowling H. Pandya for the same reason. Weird!
