    Prithvi Shaw went on to play a brilliant 84-run innings during the intra-squad practice match in Sri Lanka ahead of the white ball-series which is to follow. In a video shared by the official YouTube channel of Sri Lanka Cricket, the 21-year old could be seen staking up shots, the majority of which seemed textbook-perfect.

    Having said that, due to the Virar born’s not-so-good couple of years, at least in international cricket, he has developed a large segment of critics who have different reasons for doubting his abilities when representing the country, especially on foreign soil.
    Only a sub continent player, a flat pitch merchant.

    — ET99Kryptonian (@JMsaad99) July 11, 2021However, it is safe to say that the opening batsman has managed to gain a lot more fan-following, especially after the phenomenal, championship-winning season of the Vijay Hazare Trophy and a rather impressive first half of the Indian Premier League 2021.

    — ABHI🤸🤸 (@hitmanfan_abhi) July 11, 2021So far, the year of 2021 has been a bitter-sweet experience for Shaw, who was dropped from the Indian Test squad after failing to deliver in the first match of the India-Australia series and the last ODI that he played was in New Zealand in February.
    Since then he has not only had time to regain his confidence, he has used it to become a better leader and a dependable batsman while being completely open about the kind of mental pressure he had to go through in order to climb up a level.
    “I was in complete tension when I was dropped after the first Test. I got a feeling like I was worthless though I was happy that the team was doing well. I said to myself ‘I need to pull up my socks’. There is a saying, ‘hard work beats talent’. I told myself all this talent is fine but it’s of no use if I don’t work hard. It was the saddest day of my life (when he was dropped). I went to my room and broke down. I felt like something wrong was happening. I needed answers quickly,” Shaw had confessed in an Indian Express interview back in March.
    “Once you are dropped from the team there is pressure to perform and make a comeback. I am keen to get runs. I wanted to get big-daddy runs,” he’d added.
    Recently, Shaw was in the news for enjoying a lot of demand in the international cricketing circuit and both A and B strings of the Indian cricket team currently docked at England and Sri Lanka, respectively, wanted him to be their opening batsman, after injury ruled out Shubman Gill from the entire Test series against Joe Root’s side.

    Billionaire Richard Branson reached the edge of space yesterday and became the first billionaire to do so in the Virgin Galactic Unity 22. The UK entrepreneur flew above New Mexico in the US in the vehicle that the company has been developing for the past 17 years. He called the trip an “experience of a lifetime.”
    Branson became the first space tourism advocate to teach space beating SpaceX’s Elon Musk and Amazon’s Jeff Bezos. The vehicle reached a heft of 84km or about 282,000 feet. However, an official number is yet to be confirmed by Virgin Galactic. Branson was accompanied by three Galactic employees - Indian-born Sirisha Bandla, Beth Moses, and Colin Bennett. The vehicle was flown by its two pilots Dave Mackay and Michael Masucci.

    Richard Branson billed the flight as a successful space tourism experience which he expects to start selling to customers from next year. Some 600 individuals have already paid deposits for tickets that will cost $250,000 (Rs 1,86,21,875).

    These customers will be paying for a chance to reach a height from where they can see the sky turn black and look at Earth’s horizon as it curves away in the distance. Customers will also be able to experience five minutes of weightlessness during the flight where they can float around inside Unity’s cabin. 

    How The Virgin Galactic Unity Works

    Unity is not exactly a spaceship as it is only a sub-orbital vehicle. This means that the vehicle cannot maintain enough velocity and altitude to remain in space and circle the globe. The vehicle has been designed to allow passengers to see stunning views at the top of its climb. The unity is carried by a larger aircraft up to an altitude of 50,000 ft and is then released. 

    The Unity then fires up its rocket motor in the back to climb further. The maximum height achievable by Unity is roughly 90km (55 miles, or 295,000ft). Passengers are allowed to unbuckle to float to a window.
    Jeff Bezos To Go Higher

    Richard Branson will not be the only billionaire who will get to go to space as Jeff Bezos announced last month that he will be also be going on July 20th in Blue Origin’s New Shepard. Bezos is also reportedly expected to go to a higher altitude than Richard Branson.
