    Suresh Raina retired from international cricket alongside one of his best friends and Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Independence Day 2020. 
    And despite missing out on the 13th season of the Indian Premier League, the man does not seem to be out of touch.
    However, today, we’re going to talk about the one thing that makes Raina an extremely popular player in the tournament - his honesty.
    During the 16th over of the match between CSK and SunRisers’ Hyderabad, Raina attempted a catch to dismiss hitter Manish Pandey from the strike and curb the 2016 champions’ hopes of building a huge total at the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium in New Delhi.

    But the southpaw quickly got on his feet and confessed that he did not make it to the ball in time and that he had captured it only after it had bounced on the surface once. 

    Raina’s honesty not only showed the kind of athlete he is, but also helped to avoid a potential Rs 12 lakh fine on his captain’s head for causing a ‘delay in the game’.
    Raina fans were completely impressed but his truthfulness and expressed their admiration for the 34-year cricketer:

    Completing the task of chasing 171 runs in nine balls and seven wickets to spare, the three-time champions once again found themselves at the top of the IPL Points Table with five consecutive victories. 
    Such a high level of performance feels special for the Chennai franchise especially after missing out on the IPL Playoffs for the very first time ever back in 2020.  
    Here’s what MS Dhoni had to say about the team’s brilliant bounce-back.

    "I think addressing the problem (on what's been different for CSK this year?)," Dhoni said at the post-match presentation. "Whenever you start the tournament, you may or may not face issues in playing XI. The earlier you settle the better. Another factor was 5-6 months we were out of cricket. Nothing was allowed. It's not that you could go on your own and practice. That also makes it difficult. Change of quarantine was slightly longer. A lot of factors." 
    "Overall if I have to sum it up, the players have taken more responsibility this year. You will be facing adverse things but ultimately it boils down to how each individual rises to the occasion and gives the extra 10 per cent for the team," he explained.

    Imagine being a parent, taking your kids to watch a superhero movie with no interest in the comics they are based on. Angry men and women fighting each other in the most impractical costumes that have been built for combat, with cheesy dialogues taken straight out of decades-old storybooks. 

    Well thankfully, Marvel Studios figured out this problem very early in their venture to establish an entire cinematic universe out of it and decided to slide in some very cheeky, adult humour here and there to keep the parents giggling as their kids “marvelled” at all the action. 
    Here are five times the MCU added jokes in their movies that only adults could understand: 
    1. Hiding The Zucchini - Avengers: Age of Ultron  © Marvel Studios
    In the second Avengers film, Dr. Bruce Banner aka the Hulk, and Natasha Romanov aka Black Widow were dating. In the middle of the opening fight, the two suddenly disappear (Romanov was trying to calm Hulk down with a really weird technique) and Tony Stark says “Romanov, Banner please tell me you guys aren’t playing ‘hide the zucchini’.” 

    This is a zucchini. It’s green and it’s big:

    2. Peter Quill’s ‘Filthy Ship’ - Guardians of the Galaxy 
    When Gamora tells Peter Quill how filthy his ship is, he says “She has no idea. If I had a black light, this ship would look like a Jackson Pollock painting.” 

    Jackson Pollock was an artist famous for making abstract paintings by pouring or splashing liquid on surfaces. If you knew anything about Star-Lord, you’d be careful with the only kind of liquid he splashed.
    3. Clint Barton ‘Can’t Get It Up’ - Avengers: Age of Ultron 
    The entire team is chilling at Stark’s house and Thor presents them with the challenge to pick up his hammer. The first volunteer to try it out is Clint Barton. As he makes his way to the Mjölnir, Stark sneaks a sly joke: “Clint, you have had a tough week. We won’t hold it against you if you can’t get it up,” as everyone starts giggling.
    4. Measuring Sizes - Ant-Man And The Wasp 
    When Scott Lang, Hope, and Hank Pym go to meet Dr. Bill Foster and started talking about the events of Captain America: Civil War, Foster told him that he became as large as 21 feet back when he was working on project Goliath. He then asked Scott how big he got and the latter, almost braggingly said “65 feet” to Foster’s utter amazement. 

    The awkward conversation came to an end only when Hope jumped in to make them stop “comparing sizes” and get to work. 
    5. A Spread On Tony - Iron Man 2 
    When Tony and Pepper meet Justin Hammer in Monaco he is accompanied by Christine Everhart, a reporter, who according to Hammer, was “doing a big spread” on him. A ‘spread’ in magazine terms is a two-page side-to-side coverage or an interview. 

    Pepper replies by saying: “She (Christine) did quite a spread on Tony last year,” and Tony said, “and she did a story, as well.” 
    What does he mean? Well, this: 

    How many of these jokes did you honestly catch when watching the first time? Let us know in the comments section.
