    Rahul Dravid, who practically has zero haters in the world of cricket and outside of it as well, who is continued to be recognised as India’s finest in the longest format of the game, who is the primary example of the “gentleman” in the “gentlemen’s game”, made his international debut today, exactly 25-years ago.
    However, based on the kind of legendary status he has achieved and still enjoys two and a half decades later, it is difficult to imagine how he got dismissed for just three runs and had to walk back to the pavilion after just four deliveries.

    Walking to the middle of the Singapore Cricket Club stadium after skipper Mohammad Azharuddin got run out at 9, Dravid was expected to make an impact from the first match itself. 

    However, it took the brilliant Muttiah Muralitharan just three deliveries to figure out the 23-year old and on the fourth ball, Dravid’s wicket was his. 
    A disappointed and quiet Dravid took off his helmet, walked back towards the Indian dressing room with his eyes fixated on the ground. 
    The times were different. Dravid was the one with a tiny moustache while Muralitharan, clean-shaven.
    #OnThisDay exactly 25 years ago, Rahul Dravid made his ODI debut. Batting at No.4, he was dismissed for 3.

    He eventually ended with 1⃣0⃣7⃣6⃣8⃣ ODI runs for India, only behind Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly when he retired. pic.twitter.com/261yUQoWWj

    Over the next 25 years, whatever Dravid did both, as a player and a coach, continues to leave an impact on the Indian cricket fraternity and fans are well aware of it.  
    The various talented cricketers he raised during his time as the head coach of the U-19 and India A teams like Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill, and Prithvi Shaw are set to become the future of the Men in Blue.  
    His time as the head of the National Cricket Academy right now, has also made the Bengaluru institution more than just another “rehabilitation centre” for the players, it has truly evolved into a valuable asset that prepares promising athletes to get ready for the high level of competition this game has to offer. 
    INTERVIEW: We’ve managed to get better results by not stressing on outcomes: Rahul Dravid

    Very often, we let some sort of an initial hurdle become the reason to give up on our dreams.  

    When things look to go against the way we’d imagined and everything seems to be falling apart, that is when it is important to remember the reason you started walking on this path. 
     The ‘WHY’ becomes of paramount importance. 
    'Why do you wish to do whatever it is that you are doing?' ask yourself this and look for an answer, within. It is easy to lose hope… everyone does that. But do you know what happens to those who hang on to their dreams? They make them into reality.
    Don’t ignore Rahul Dravid’s failures, embrace them, just like the failures of your own.

    On the 10th anniversary of the Indian cricket team lifting the ICC World Cup 2011 following a magnificent tournament at home, Gulf Oil India premiered a very special video of an older, wiser Mahendra Singh Dhoni interviewing his younger self.

    In this simple and light-hearted video, the Dhoni of 2021 gets in a conversation with the Mahi from 2005, just one year after he made his international cricket debut.

    The two(?) talk about all the things that the younger Dhoni will go on to achieve for the Men in Blue and make a billion dreams come true at the Wankhede Stadium almost half a decade later. 
    They talk about how consistency and the right attitude will allow him to do wondrous things for the nation.

    “You should be desperate to contribute in every game. And then, of course, it also comes down to how well prepared you are. Your planning. Your execution, depending on the opposition,” the older Dhoni explains as the nervous youngster listens and agrees.

    And yes, at the end of the day the whole video is about promoting a product and Dhoni goes on to execute the promo for about a minute in the end.
    But another major takeaway from the four-minute video was how shy, soft-spoken, and introverted the younger Mahi was and the accuracy with which this character was brought to life on the big screen by late actor Sushant Singh Rajput in the feature film M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story.

    “It was not tough (to play Dhoni in the film) because of the expectations of the audience. We as actors have to convince ourselves that we are the characters. I had strong visual reference of him, so it was a difficult task for me,” Rajput had told the reporters back in 2016 when the movie was being launched. 

    “I immersed into the film completely. When I was shooting for the film on day one, I did not pretend to be Dhoni, I was Dhoni.”
    “On the first day, by the end, I got that helicopter shot. After the shot I realised I was in pain, I had got a hairline fracture so I was on two-week leave. Now, I can do helicopter shot nicely,” the actor had said.

    Recently, actress Urvashi Rautela had an interactive session with her followers on Instagram and one particular question has grabbed the attention of Indian cricket fans from all over the country.
    One of the questions that were put forward for Rautela was about her favourite cricketer but the actress replied by saying that she does not watch the sport and therefore knows none of the cricketers. 
    However, she also adds that she has “deep respect” for Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar and the current captain of the Men in Blue, Virat Kohli.

    "I don't watch cricket at all so don't know any cricketers. I have deep respect for Sachin Sir & Virat sir," she wrote.

    However, ever since her response, Team India fans did some detective work online and found out pictures of her being at a stadium while supporting the Men in Blue from back in 2016.

    Eventually, media reports also suggested that Rautela was in a rumoured relationship with Indian wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant back in 2018 but was allegedly blocked by the cricketer before making their relationship public. 
    A 2020 PinkVilla report confirms that Pant had blocked Rautela on WhatsApp after she was “incessantly trying to get in touch and connect” but the southpaw batter was not interested.  
    However, Rautela’s spokesperson had said that the decision to block each other on the messaging app was a mutual one.
    Back in January 2019, Pant had spoken about being in a relationship with Isha Negi in an Instagram post.

    The Roorkee-born cricketer has found excellent form and consistency ever since India’s tour of Australia.  
    Pant not only became one of the top scorers of the four-Test Border-Gavaskar series but also played a series-winning innings in the final session of the Gabba clash to break Australia’s 33-year old undefeated streak at the Brisbane Cricket Ground. 
    Since then, Pant has become one of the top-picks for Virat Kohli in the longest format of the game.

    After middle-order batsman, Shreyas Iyer was ruled out of the India-England ODI series with a severely injured left shoulder, Pant also got the opportunity to shine in the 50-over format as he struck back-to-back half tons against Eoin Morgan and Jos Buttler’s men. 
    Ahead of the 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League, Pant was also appointed as the captain of the Delhi Capitals franchise in the absence of skipper Iyer, who was ruled out of the tournament due to the same injury.
