    After getting off a high-scoring start to the innings in the first half of the third and final One Day International against the visiting England side at Pune’s Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, the Indian cricket team was struggling to reach a respectable total to defend against the extremely talented batting roster of the Englishmen.
    Following the dismissal of Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan at the end of a 103-run partnership, the duo of Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya managed to drive up the run-rate in on their quest to score more than 350 runs for the team.

    And despite sharing 99 runs between them, a stunning delivery by Sam Curran and Jos Buttler’s lightening-fast reflexes behind the stumps led to the 23-year old southpaw being forced to return to the dressing room, albeit with a career-high 78-run innings.
    Pant left the pitch when India were struggling at 256/5 with 14 overs still in the bank to make the most out of. In came one of the favourite all-rounders for the Indian fans, Shardul Thakur, who didn’t get an opportunity to show his prowess with the bat ahead of the final match.
    Strike rates in today's match:-

    Lord Shardul Thakur- 150*

    Hardik - 145
    Pant - 125
    Dhawan - 119

    Looking in some sort of a hurry to score big, Thakur started swinging for the fences with a sense of urgency. While a few of the deliveries didn’t connect with his blade, the ones that did, led to some incredible shots all over the MCA Stadium.
    In his short yet impactful innings of 21 balls, Shakur scored 30 runs with 22 runs coming off boundaries (one 4 and three 6’s).
    One of the maximums that Thakur had hit, went for a decent 76 metres off a Ben Stokes delivery and while the shot was a beauty, it was what happened after the six that caught fans’ attention.

    Marvelling at Thakur’s strength, Stokes walked up to the batsman and started checking his bat in disbelief. Smiling towards the England player, Thakur also gave him a friendly punch on the forearm before going back to the crease.
    Fans who playfully refer to the Indian all-rounder as ‘Lord Thakur’ went on Twitter to talk about the moment:
    Ben Stokes :- Springs Bat ?

    Music composer AR Rahman is known for not commenting on political issues and also refrains himself from pulling pranks. Recently, he surprised everyone when he made fun of the anchor at the launch event of 99 Songs, for speaking in Hindi. 
    Rahman, who is an Academy and Grammy Award winner, was addressing the media for his upcoming debut project as a producer and co-writer. He was addressing the media along with the movie’s lead, Ehan Bhat, at a press conference in Chennai. 
    While speaking to Rahman in Tamil, the anchor started speaking in Hindi to welcome Ehan. She said, “Main aapka hardik swagat karti hoon (I welcome you warmly).”
    As soon as she started speaking in Hindi, Rahman was left shocked and asked, ‘Hindi?’ and started walking off the stage.

    He later cleared the air saying that he was only making fun of the anchor and wasn’t serious about walking off the stage. 
    Here’s what people on the internet have to say about this-

    People on the internet started calling him out for having a problem with Hindi language and some also called him anti-national for the same.

    A user also commented, “There is no national language in India, yet people don’t try to even indulge in learning and respecting the other languages. If you want the respect of Tamilians, try learning a bit of their language and culture as well.”
    Earlier, many Tamil celebrities such as Suriya, Kamal Hassan, and others have questioned the Hindi imposition in non-Hindi-speaking states.

    Despite being a more lowkey event this year, or maybe especially because of it, Holi playlists are an important and sacred part of celebrating the festival. Whether you’re making it for your group of friends, spending time with your partner, or just for yourself if you’ve chosen to spend the holiday at home (which, I recommend, is a fantastic experience), a mix of songs for vibes is a must.
    While ‘Rang Barse’ and ‘Balam Pichkari’ are Holi staples, and deservedly so, sometimes the heart just wants something different. So, here, I’ve collected a few Holi essentials and some other Indian and international bops to help you curate the perfect playlist!
    1. ‘Holi Mein Rangeele’ - Mika Singh, Abhinav Shekhar, Pallavi Ishpuniyani
    The latest addition to the overflowing Holi songs in India, this song is no doubt going to become a permanent fixture in Holi playlists. And while we may not be able to get as “rangeele” this year, this song is sure to add some colour to Holi.
    2. ‘Badri Ki Dulhaniya’ - Dev Negi, Neha Kakkar, Monali Thakur, Ikka
    The title track of the 2014 movie Badrinath Ki Dulhania, this Varun-Alia starrer is also a strong contender in being the title track of the thousands of Holi playlists across the country. 
    3. ‘Holi (Manganiyars & Langa’s folk song)’ - Richa Sharma, Shail Hada
    Spending Holi with just your partner? You might remember this folk song from the movie Padmaavat, starring Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, and Shahid Kapoor, which will definitely set the mood for a romantic day at home this Holi.
    4. ‘Tum Tak’ - Keerthi Sagathia, Pooja Vaidyanath, Javed Ali
    A timeless classic, ‘Tum Tak’ is just the song you need for slower vibes when you’re just interested in spending a quiet and peaceful day with good music. It especially makes for a wonderful drive song, so make sure to add it to your playlist if long drives are on the cards this Holi.
    5. ‘Ey Gori’ - Kailash Kher, Sonu Kakkar
    From the 2007 movie Delhii Heights, Kailash Kher and Sonu Kakkar’s ‘Ey Gori’ will add playfulness and cheer to your playlist. And in my opinion, we really need to hear this song a little more on Holi — someone remind DJs this exists, please?
    6. ‘Lahu Munh Lag Gaya’ - Shail Hada
    Featured in the Deepika-Ranveer starring film Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram Leela, ‘Lahu Munh Lag Gaya’ is a romantic and sensual song that’s fit for both the dance floor or a private Holi with your partner.
    7. ‘Go Pagal’ - Raftaar, Nindy Kaur
    From the Akshay Kumar-Huma Qureshi starrer movie Jolly LLB 2, this song is sure to add a little freshness and variety to your playlist. A lighthearted and simple track, this is one song meant for the dance floor.
    8. ‘Holi’ - Begum Akhtar
    Admittedly not something your local DJ would be playing to hype you up, but this timeless piece by Begum Akhtar will have you closing your eyes in awe and enjoyment. If we’re stuck indoors anyway, why not spend Holi revisiting all the traditional music India has to offer?
    9. ‘Colors’ - Black Pumas
    Holi playlists are majorly populated with Hindi and Bollywood songs, but there are some wonderful international songs that are sure to set the mood. ‘Colors’ by the Grammy-winning band Black Pumas is just what you need to add some soul to your Holi this year.
    10. ‘Dynamite’ - BTS
    A perfect hype track, this bop will have you Dynananana-ing uncontrollably and breathe some life into the party. Performed by the Grammy-nominated group BTS, the song is just what you need to “light it up like Dynamite” on Holi.
    11. ‘Do It’ - Chloe x Halle
    You’ve probably heard it everywhere on the internet already, but if you haven’t yet had the pleasure to listen to Chloe x Halle yet then let me introduce you to this bop. ‘Do It’ is just such a “good vibes only” song, perfect for adding some flavour to your Holi playlist.

    When it comes to any kind of sport, fans and athletes blame superstition as soon as things begin to go against them and the third and final ODI match between India and England seems to carry on the same for the hosting side.
    Following a fantastic start to the innings off a 103-run partnership between openers Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan, the Men in Blue seemed to be well on their way to a 400-plus run total. The run rate was high, the wickets were in hand, the left-right combination at the top looked to be in great form and ready to punish the English bowlers.

    This is when Indian Test veteran Ravichandran Ashwin decided to boast the skill-set of his compatriots and even suggested the possibility of Sharma going for another one of those iconic double-tons.

    As fate would have it, Sharma ended up getting bowled out by spinner Adil Rashid on the 37th delivery while sitting at as many runs. A couple of overs later, it was Dhawan who fell to Rashid, this time on a caught and bowled. The mighty opening partnership, bundled within 12 deliveries.

    In-form batsman Virat Kohli was also caught by surprise when Moeen Ali ripped the bails off of his stumps with a stunner of a spinner and the skipper had to return to the dugout for a cheap 7-run innings.

    A 99-run partnership between Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya did allow Kohli’s side some respite in the middle overs but Sam Curran spoiled the fun, forcing a caught-behind to Jos Buttler and ending his stint at 78. 
    Believing that he had ended up cursing his teammates’ form, Ashwin not only deleted his older tweet but also acknowledged what he had done.
    I deleted the previous tweet! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ #jinxedagoodstart #INDvsENG
    — Ashwin 🇮🇳 (@ashwinravi99) March 28, 2021
    “I deleted the previous tweet! #jinxedagoodstart,” he tweeted. 
    Unable to see their idol reach the 200-run mark (or even a half century, for that matter), Rohit Sharma fans quickly hopped onto Ashwin’s Twitter handle to have a friendly banter with the off-spinner:

    Karan Johar has cemented his position as an iconic director in Bollywood but his tryst with fashion is also something worth noticing. 

    From the time he used to step out wearing his usual black suits to then transitioning into a self-proclaimed maximalist, Karan has quite a good judgement with the sort of clothes he wears.

    By now we all know KJo loves all things outlandish. Apart from his ensembles, he is into snazzy bags and quirky sneakers too. 

    He has often rocked some daring trends and taken more fashion risks than one can even imagine.
    © Viral Bhayani
    This time too as he was spotted for an event, we saw him in yet another sick pair of sneakers. 

    These sneakers look as if they were designed using broken materials and yet the silhouette has dope aesthetics.
    Take a look:
    The Brands: © Viral Bhayani
    Karan was seen wearing an insanely cool outfit with street-wear aesthetics. 

    Everything about his ensemble, from his oversized hoodie to his joggers screamed fashion. 
    The pink hoodie with a fabric tied over it, along with quirky tiger print seems like a quintessential piece and damn, it looks good on him.
    © Gucci
    The joggers though are Gucci's Oversize Technical Jogging Pants. 

    This activewear silhouette comes with contrast logo tape detail with GG printed nylon that runs down the sides of the oversized pants. Furthermore, these pants are crafted in black technical jersey.

    As for the sneakers, these will never go unnoticed. 

    Karan is wearing Balenciaga Track 2 Sneakers in Silver Metallic. These are designed in metallic mesh and nylon with written size at the edge of the toe. 
    These sneakers have a unique design, due to their cage-like silhouette and are still a comfortable pair of shoes.
    The Price:The joggers look super comfy but the price will make you think otherwise. These pants cost almost Rs 83,495. Now, that's expensive for a pair of pants. 
    The track 2 sneakers are a pair that most celebrities have stepped out in but the metallic colour, in particular, is the one that stands out and only our maximalist, Karan has been able to ace it. 
    The price of this pair is roughly around $975 that converts to Rs 71,000, plus custom and taxes on it.
    Why It Works: © Viral Bhayani
    Given Karan's taste in fashion, we think this outfit is a perfect match. 

    The way he has coupled a flamboyant hoodie over his expensive pair of joggers is rather dope. Plus, the sneakers are synonymous with Karan's outlandish fashion sense and every element of this look is in perfect harmony.

    The manner in which festivals, especially Holi is shown in cinema is really spectacular. 
    The energy, the vibrant colours, the clothes, and playful flirtiness - when composed and shot correctly, Holi celebration sequences are a joy to watch.
    © Dharma Productions
    With that being said, styling or what the actors are wearing is something that people often don’t pay attention to. 

    If you truly love cinema, you’ll realise just how important costumes and styling in the film really are.
    © Yash Raj Films
    We take a look at 7 new-age Bollywood Holi songs and rank them, based on how awesome their music and lyrics are, and phenomenally they have been styled:

    7.  Subah Subah, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety
    We start with Subah Subah from Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety. 
    Although this is not strictly a song about the festival of colours, the Holi sequence that comes at the end of the song, is spectacular. Kartik’s and Sunny’s style was hip, minimal, and suave. 
    6. Tum Tak, Raanjhana
    Anand L Rai perfectly captured the ethos of Varanasi in Raanjhana. Just look at the Holi sequence in Tum Tak and you’ll know what we are on about. 
    It captured the brutish nature of a Varanasi Holi in a great manner. Dhanush especially stood out in the sequence, because of how he paired a red chunni with basic T-shirts and pants. 
    5. Go Pagal, Jolly LLB 2
    Jolly LLB 2’s Go Pagal is loud, brash, vibrant - all of this, all at the same time. 
    This is how Holi used to be played in Uttar Pradesh, at least before the pandemic. 
    What Akshay Kumar’s wearing is a more dignified version of how men would normally dress up - a buttoned-down shirt, a basic pair of jeans, and some dope looking sneakers.
    4. Badri Ki Dulhania, Badrinath Ki Dulhania
    The title track of the film is set around Holi, and boy oh boy, do we see Varun Dhawan dress up in something special. 
    Now, do keep in mind, that what we saw Varun wear is tuned more towards a normal, and tame party, rather than the boisterous colour plays (colour wars, technically). 
    Varun is seen first in a half-sleeved short kurta and a dope-looking bandi, and then a double-layered waistcoat. 
    3. Jai Jai Shiv Shankar, War
    The dance moves that we see in this song are just spectacular. That is what happens when two of the best dancers in Bollywood, are put next to each other. 
    Stylewise, we have to say that although both Tiger and Hrithik were in a league of their own, Hrithik with his unstructured kurta, jeans and that red Rajasthani print dupatta, had a slight edge over Tiger.
    2. Balam Pichkari, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
    One of the peppiest song on this list, Balam Pichkari works for a number of reasons. 
    The style is very simple and realistic and comprises of pieces that people wear every day. There are no “costumes” as such. 
    Aditya Roy Kapoor & Ranbir Kapoor can exchange their outfits, and they will still look just as dope as they did in the song.
    1. Lahu Munh Lag Gaya, Ram-Leela
    Of course, this song was going to be number 1 on this list. Even though Deepika looked stunning in this song, Ranveer was simply on fire. 
    That blue printed shirt and that dhoti was a stellar combo by itself. By adding that open Kedia Kurta and that monk strap Chelsea boots, Ranveer took his outfit to a whole new level.
    The Bottomline…
    We have had our Holi classics, like Rang Barse, Let’s Play Holi, Holi Ke Din, and countless others. However, in terms of style and fashion at least, the outfits used in these songs don’t hold up today. 
    These new-age songs, on the other hand, are apt in giving some really dope-looking costume ideas, for your a Holi colour party.

    Many of us are unable to comprehend our state of mind when we revisit our old pictures. Something very similar happened with Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty. He took a trip down memory lane and shared an embarrassing picture of himself from early acting days on Instagram. 
    In the picture, we can see Suniel wearing only a pair of denim pants and a pair of sunglasses. He is shirtless and is seen crawling on the beach for a shot.
    Checkout the post here-

    Sharing the picture, Suniel wrote, "What the hell was I thinking?" 
    Later, Athiya Shetty commented on her dad’s picture. She tagged her brother, Ahaan Shetty, along with a smiling face with teardrop emoji. Suniel Shetty reacted to her comment by saying, ‘oyyyyy goondi’ with a red heart emoji.
    Not only this, actor Vikrant Massey also commented with many laughing emojis and a heart emoji. Many of Suniel's fans also started commenting, saying that it was Suniel Shetty who invented the Haaye Garmi hook step.
    Even Riteish Deshmukh commented, “You may have been the inspiration for ‘maar daala’ from Devdas.”
    Here’s what they had to say about the epic picture posted by the actor-

    Suniel Shetty is now looking forward to the acting debut of his son, Ahan, who will be next seen in Tadap. The film also stars Tara Sutaria in the lead. The posters for the same were launched earlier this month.

    Revealing the first poster, Akshay Kumar had written, "Big day for you Ahan...I still remember seeing your father, @SunielVShetty’s first film, Balwaan’s poster, and today I’m presenting yours.... so happy and proud to share the poster of #SajidNadiadwala‘s #Tadap *ing #AhanShetty and @TaraSutaria, releasing in cinemas on 24th Sept!"

    Dwayne The Rock Johnson recently accepted a viral TikTok Challenge and filmed himself chugging half a bottle of Tequila without batting an eyelid! I mean, of course, I didn’t expect him to react dramatically or even flinch like normal people, after all he’s The Rock. But even by his standards, this was no small feat. 
    Check out the video here:
    View this post on Instagram
    In the viral challenge, TikToker Fia James asks her followers to ‘Take a shot of tequila without making a face.’ The Rock, however, seemed to one up it by gulping it down straight from the bottle. 
    This sent people into a frenzy with around 7.3 million likes in just a day after it was posted. 
    "He is not THE ROCK he's THE MOUNTAIN," one fan wrote. 
    "Ok, well you're the rock that's not fair," another wrote. 
    And though we could spot quite a few cutaways after he gulps down the tequila, he doesn’t even flinch, even for once. However, some fans were quick to accuse him of taking shots of water.

    But we’re talking about The Rock here guys. If you’ve seen his cheat meals, you’d know what we are going on about here.

    But turns out these sceptics were indeed right since Johnson had used the hashtag ‘bottlefullofwater’ under his post.
    View this post on Instagram
    Coincidentally, recently, Dwayne had added a tequila brand to his already extensive resume. And the bottle of tequila that he used in the challenge was of the same brand, Teremana Tequila. The brand was launched by him and his partners in March last year.
