    It is the Indian Premier League season and international cricketers from all over the world have made their way to India once again to participate in the most lucrative T20 tournament there is. This means elite-level competition, the making and breaking of excellent records, and of course, the money is not bad either.
    However, more often than not the IPL and the players get criticised for earning “too much money” from the season and end up getting questioned about their patriotism, their love for the nation and the duties they’re supposed to fulfil as a member of a nation’s international cricket team.

    England all-rounder Ben Stokes recently fell prey to a similar criticism following an interview with Sky Sports Cricket in which he was seen wearing the Rajasthan Royals jersey and talking about not letting the failures of the previous season affect them this year.
    Every year is a clean slate and we're really excited about our prospects @benstokes38 on @rajasthanroyals’ new signings & the pressures of @IPL… #RoyalsFamily

    Watch every match in the Indian Premier League live on Sky Sports Cricket from April 9.

    “Every year is a clean slate and we're really excited about our prospects,” Stokes said in the interview which was uploaded on Twitter on Wednesday.
    "It's great for the competition that it's come back to its roots (India) after taking place in Dubai last year, which was an achievement in itself. Fingers crossed that fans will be allowed back in at some point during this IPL because they are a huge part of this game and why we play,” Stokes also said during the interview.
    "It was an amazing feeling to have fans back in the grounds on our [England's] recent tour of India - even though 100 per cent of the crowd were against us! Being back in the thick of that atmosphere was amazing!" he added.
    However, this time around, it was a Team England fan who called the cricketer out for only performing in franchise cricket and “chasing a pound note again” while sarcastically criticising him for being “too tired to bowl” for the national squad.
    Chasing a pound note again, once back in an england shirt will be too tired to bowl

    Stokes, who does not hold back from getting involved in such social media exchanges from time to time, ended up asking the fan what he was talking about and when did he ever complain about bowling for the English side.
    When have I ever been to tired to bowl in a England shirt pal??? https://t.co/854pfJRDXA

    “When have I ever been to tired to bowl in a England shirt pal???” Stokes asked the fan in a reply.
    This is when the Indian fans of the cricketer flocked to Twitter to show their support for Ben Stokes:
    Is this what you get when you win ur country their first ever one day world cup and obviously some test match heroics!!? Huhh! Respect the man.
    — Rajat Barwal (@therajatBarwal) March 31, 2021So sad to watch such comments, this man gives his everything on field. Bats and bowls his heart out.
    — Shrutika Gaekwad (@Shrutika_45_) March 31, 2021A guy accusing Ben Stokes of being too tired to bowl for England !! Anyone who watches cricket can see that Stokes gives his best for England all the time.
    — Aryan Tripathi (@AryanTripathi_2) April 1, 2021Never. That particular test in Ahemdabad we just witnessed last month, where you gave it your all in the heat when Pant was smashing you guys. You guys almost made a match out of it. It's so disappointing to see stupid 'fans'. Ben Stokes is adored more in India I guess.
    — Anshul Kansal (@anshkansal) March 31, 2021Wow!! This is some knob. After watching @benstokes38 bowl in the last test with stomach bug under extremely inhospitable conditions, straining every sinew. If the critic has come with this the observation I am worried about the critic's well being

    On the afternoon of March 31, Shah Rukh Khan delighted his fans by taking to Twitter with an impromptu Ask Me Anything session with the hashtag “AskSRK”.
    Though the actor started off the event by humorously saying he has 15 minutes for the questions before he “[goes] into doing more of nothing”, he ended up spending a little more than an hour interacting with fans!
    Have 15 minutes before I go into doing more of nothing! Thought will spend it with you all and do a quick #AskSRK 3...2....1....go!
    — Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk) March 31, 2021
    If you missed the event and are looking for a quick summary of everything that happened, here are nine highlights from the AMA that you absolutely need to know.

    On when fans might be able to meet him in person againOf course, the very first topic that came up for a fanmeet, and Shah Rukh replied to a user, “Yeah hope we can all meet but right now I avoid coming out so that people don’t congregate. But soon we will overcome all of this.”

Try with more respect, gentleness and respect.”

    — Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk) March 31, 2021
    And he also made sure to put disrespectful people in their placeWhen a user asked him why he apparently “took so much time in the bathroom” and wondered what he did — I’m not kidding, someone asked that — SRK sassily replied, “Will send you a video.... [your] inquisitiveness and yearning for learning is very touching.”

    — Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk) March 31, 2021 In another since-deleted tweet, a user asked him the colour of his underwear. And of course, SRK handled it with his usual good humour and sarcasm, saying, he only does “#AskSRK for such classy and educated questions.”

    — Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk) March 31, 2021 It didn’t end there! Another asked him whether it was true that he had a lot of ego, because “everyone said so”, SRK replied that he was “so great he had no ego!”

    — Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk) March 31, 2021 ...on finding a balance between passion and practicality…

    — Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk) March 31, 2021 ...and to show your children love, not strictness.

    — Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk) March 31, 2021He even talked about his fellow actors, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan!To a curious fan, he said that his favourite Aamir Khan movies were “Raakh, QSQT, Dangal, Lagaan [and] 3 Idiots” and, for Salman, that “As always bhai toh bhai hi hai!”

    — Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk) March 31, 2021And, of course, what every fan wanted to know: when is his next movie?Many asked him when they could see the star on the big screen again, and it seems that we might have to wait just a bit more until the day comes, as Shah Rukh said, “Arre so many films waiting to release in the cans....our turn will come after them don’t worry!”
    Arre so many films waiting to release in the cans....our turn will come after them don’t worry! https://t.co/k8xDDYmgnL

    — Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk) March 31, 2021 But when another fan went so far as to plead for another appearance, saying they’ve been waiting for “3 years 3 months and 31 days” and that they were ready to book out a whole movie hall, SRK basically said he’s on it (and we can’t wait!).
    Really!! That’s a long time even for patience. Jaldi jaldi shooting karta hoon don’t worry. https://t.co/3PtMHPA8CS
    — Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk) March 31, 2021Though he did wonder why everyone on Twitter wanted sequels for “box office failures”, apparentlyWhen a fan asked when we might get to see a sequel for Harry met Sejal, the Bollywood remake of When Harry Met Sally, he replied, “Ha ha. Yahaan Twitter pe sab box office failures ka hi sequel kyon maang rahe hain?”

    During the post-match ceremony of the third and final ODI between India and England at Pune’s Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, the captain of the Indian cricket team, Virat Kohli had raised concerns about the practicality of playing international cricket for long periods of time while staying in the bio-bubble.
    "As I said, a couple of days ago as well, scheduling is something that needs to be looked at in the future," Kohli had said during the ceremony. "Because playing in bubbles for so long, two-three months is going to be very, very difficult going forward."

    Expressing his hopes of seeing a change in the schedule, the skipper added: "You can't expect everyone to be at the same level of mental strength… Sometimes you do get cooked, and you do feel like a bit of change. I'm sure that things will be discussed and things will change in the future as well."
    However, an official of the Board of Control for Cricket in India and rebuked Kohli’s suggestion for a reschedule.

    Speaking with ANI, the official said: “Firstly, contrary to assumptions, the BCCI’s wealth is not infinite. Secondly, the stock of the domestic cricketers deserves a greater amount of attention, especially when the outcome of the review of player payments that was undertaken about three years back was quite ad-hoc and was skewed heavily in the favour of a few while bypassing those who were made the poster boys of that review.”
    “Thirdly, there is an increase in the number of state associations who have a steep task facing them to develop the game in their regions which they had not done earlier and this is in addition to the existing associations who have been struggling to meet their own standards with the shakeup that has taken away experience across the board,” he explained.

    “Everything is screaming for financial correction at the moment but the thing that has left the largest impact is the COVID-19 pandemic and the reduction in matches as a consequence thereof. Add to it the varying quarantine rules and you have a situation that is not in control of the BCCI, but must be strictly adhered to by the BCCI.”
    The official then went on to talk about how Kohli had nothing to say about the completely packed Indian Premier League schedule and that it can be “presumed” that the batsman is fine with it.
    The moment we've all been waiting for! The fixtures for #IPL2021 are out! 🤩

    — Royal Challengers Bangalore (@RCBTweets) March 7, 2021
    “Kohli has raised a very important point while talking about international games where he spoke about the importance of scheduling, going forward and he does have the luxury to raise this point. But he has not expressed any reservations regarding the scheduling of the IPL, so one presumes that he is okay with that and the possible increase in the number of games once the two new teams are added later this year,” he expressed.
    “One needs to bear in mind that a reduction in international matches means a reduction in the revenue of the BCCI and consequently a reduction in the revenue of the state associations and the domestic players. The revenue of the contracted players of the BCCI is insulated even if there is a reduction in the number of home international games, but the revenue of the others is not,” he also mentioned.
