    In what seems to have become a habit for the dashing all-rounder, Ravindra Jadeja once again rose to the occasion and aided the Indian cricket team in dire situations, this time at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
    During India's ongoing tour of Australia, Jadeja has been in sublime form with the willow and has stepped up for his team more often than not in recent months.ย 
    While his spin bowling and electric fielding have often earned him plaudits, Jadeja's ever-improving batting has further made him an indispensable asset for India.
    ยฉ AP
    The left-hander was pivotal during India's consolation win in the 3rd ODI where his blazing fifty was lauded by all. The 1st T20I also saw him in decent touch before a hamstring injury ruled him out for the remaining two matches.ย 

    But, after regaining his fitness, Jadeja is back and seems to have picked up from where he left.

    Coming out to bat, with India reeling at 173/5, Jadeja showed great temperament and maturity while negating the Australian bowling attack.ย 
    As Ajinkya Rahane (104*) anchored the innings for India, the left-hander contributed to his team and captain in the supporting role. Remaining unbeaten at 104-ball 40, Jadeja partnered Rahane for a key 104-run stand.
    While Rahane earned plaudits for a brilliant ton, Jadeja, too, garnered praise for his resolve in the middle.
    How good is @imjadeja ! What a cricketer !
    โ€” Vikram Sathaye (@vikramsathaye) December 27, 2020A captains solid , gritty and calm just like his personality @ajinkyarahane88 sharp mind in field setting aswell ! @imjadeja looking great how good has he become batting lowerdown the order for๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ ! Great start for @RealShubmanGill ! We are looking good for a decent lead ๐Ÿฝ
    โ€” Yuvraj Singh (@YUVSTRONG12) December 27, 2020Jadejaโ€™s belief in his own batting abilities has gone to another level....no longer playing as a bowler who could bat. But plays as a proper batsman whenever he has the bat in hand. Responsibility and confidence. #AusvInd
    โ€” Aakash Chopra (@cricketaakash) December 27, 2020Donโ€™t forget @imjadejaโ€™s contribution in Indiaโ€™s splendid performance today. Played equal part with Rahane in blunting Aussie bowlers with patience, concentration and a stout heart. His batting has improved by leaps and bounds in last couple of years
    โ€” Cricketwallah (@cricketwallah) December 27, 2020Clearly one of his finest hundreds. Leading a team bowled out for 36 and written off by the world, this innings is defined by the word character. Superbly played @ajinkyarahane88 and brilliant support from @imjadeja India inching closer to a sizeable lead.
    โ€” Boria Majumdar (@BoriaMajumdar) December 27, 2020Jadeja's spot shouldn't be questioned in any format.
    โ€” Heisenberg (@internetumpire) December 27, 2020I think jaddus inning was the highlight of the day 2 he gave the solidarity to the partnership with jinks which have made the significant difference and may be it would be the outcome of the test match...

    Anurag Basu, who directed Kangana Ranaut in her debut film, Gangster, appears to have taken a dig at her by saying that he doesnโ€™t understand the 'public persona' that the actress has developed over these years.

    It was Anurag who gave the Queen actor a head-start in her career with Gangster which also starred Emraan Hashmi and Shiney Ahuja.ย 
    ยฉ Vishesh Films
    The movie was deemed a hit and Kangana became a popular name overnight, as she also won several awards for her performance in the film. People loved her as they have found a new promising face and a powerhouse of talent


    Recalling why Anurag chose her, he told Mid-Day, โ€œOf the 20-25 girls we auditioned for the part, her face just stuck in my head - there was something unique about her. In the beginning, she needed guidance for everything. But she is a really fast learner. I have seen her growth during the filming of Gangster itself.โ€ย 
    He added, โ€œThere was something very raw and organic about her, very refreshing, very new.โ€
    ยฉ Twitter
    When asked about Kanganaโ€™s seemingly-new avatar that has been the talking point for everyone since lockdown, Anurag asserted that he doesnโ€™t really know this version of her and, in fact, thinks, they are two different personalities.

    โ€œWe usually donโ€™t meet, but whenever we do, this [public] persona is not the Kangana I [know] personally. So, I think there are two Kanganas. Beech wali [the other one] I donโ€™t understand,โ€ said Basu.

    Kangana has been in the headlines for numerous controversies, especially this year.ย 
    From the Hrithik Roshan war of words to being tagged as an opportunist in the case of Sushant Singh Rajputโ€™s untimely demise, she appears to have developed an image on social media that many people in the industry donโ€™t really see eye to eye with.
    We wonder how would Kangana react to this statement by Basu. A comeback could be on its way!

    After failing to make the cut for India at Adelaide, Shubman Gill walked out to bat at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), carrying the weight of expectations on his young shoulders in the 2nd Test against Australia.ย 
    Playing clinical strokes, the right-hander had already impressed pundits and fans alike on Day 1 before carrying his fine form to second day's play.
    ยฉ AP
    The 21-year-old, facing some of the best in the business, looked fearless in his approach as he continued to play his shots with authority to keep the scoreboard ticking for his team.ย 

    The Indian opener was looking good during his 65-ball 45, including eight fours, when a rare lapse in concentration saw him going for a loose shot that spelt his doom.
    ยฉ AP
    While the youngster would have surely been a little disappointed having missed out on what could have been a good fifty, Gill, still, had something to cheer for.ย 

    The young batsman got his name in the record books as he became the third-highest run-getter on Test debut for India Down Under.
    You look at all the batsmen innings in this Test and no one from Australia and India looked as comfortable as Shubman Gill. Guy was on debut, yet he dominated the scorecard for India and scored 45 runs of the 61 of the team. Really happy to see his classy performance.
    โ€” Shreenath (@MRS220301) December 27, 2020
    His opening partner Mayank Agarwal remains at the top of the coveted list for his 76-run knock on debut that came in 2018. Former Indian cricketer Dattu Phadkar remains at the second spot for his 51-run innings in Sydney in 1947.
    ยฉ AP
    A brilliant start to Gill's Test career came on the back of some luck early on. The right-hander didn't just have one, but two chances going his way.ย 

    He was first dropped on 4 by Marnus Labuschagne in the slips before Australian skipper handed him another lifeline by putting down a regulation catch when he was batting on 28.

    At the first mention of Virat Kohli's paternity leave, a lot of questions were raised by fans and pundits alike over Ajinkya Rahane's ability to carry the baton as captain for Team India.
    While some felt that, despite being the vice-captain in the longest format, Rahane lacks captaincy material, others opined that the extra burden of leading India might affect his batting.
    ยฉ Reuters
    But, Rahane's exploits in the ongoing Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) has surely got the naysayers ducking for cover.ย 

    The 32-year-old looked sharp and equally aggressive on Day 1 as he marshalled the troops with pragmatism at the MCG. Whether it was setting up the field or shuffling the bowlers to good effect, Rahane looked in control as Australia bundled out for 195 runs on Day 1.

    If his captaincy earned him plaudits from cricket bigwigs, Rahane's craftsmanship with the willow on Day 2 further saw him grow in stature.ย 
    Despite the early dismissal of Mayank Agarwal (0), Shubman Gill (45) and Cheteshwar Pujara (17) were looking solid when Pat Cummins dismissed the young Indian opener early on Day 2.
    ยฉ AP
    Soon, Pujara, too, followed Gill back to the pavilion as India looked in a precarious situation.ย 

    Reeling at 64/3, Rahane showed great maturity and played responsibly to stabilise the innings for his team on the back of a 52-run partnership with Hanuma Vihari (21) and another 57-run stand with Rishabh Pant (29).

    โ€” BCCI (@BCCI) December 27, 2020
    Even as wickets kept tumbling at the other end, Rahane continued to carry the baton for India before finding some support from Ravindra Jadeja.ย 
    The duo continued to frustrate the Australian bowling attack by playing clinical strokes and putting up a partnership in excess of 100 runs for the sixth wicket.
    ยฉ AP
    Showcasing grit and determination, Rahane continued to lead the way for his team before notching up a brilliant hundred at the MCG. The right-hander brought up his 12th Test hundred in the 88th over after playing a fierce cut shot off Pat Cummins for a boundary.ย 

    While Rahane was lucky to have survived after Steve Smith dropped him on 73, his artistry with the willow was nothing short of impressive.
    Sometimes you see a performance that mirrors a player's character. This century by @ajinkyarahane88 did just that. He can be so proud of this innings.
    โ€” Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) December 27, 2020
    It was Rahane's first hundred away from home since the 132-run innings he played against Sri Lanka in Colombo three years ago. This is only his second hundred in Australia after the strokeful knock that also came at the MCG during the 2014 tour.ย 
    Thanks to his knock and Jadeja's support, India has managed to gain a decent lead in a desperate bid to script a comeback in the four-match Test series.
    ยฉ AP
    For someone who was involved in a horrible mix-up with Kohli that eventually changed the narrative of the 1st Test as India were bowled out for 36 runs, Rahane showed great character by leading from the front in the noticeable absence of the regular skipper.ย 

    While questions were initially being raised over his consistency with the willow, Rahane seems to have answered the critics in the best possible way.

    Olympic winning boxer Vijender Singh had earlier said that he would return the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award if the PM Modi-led government did not agree to the demands of the farmers who are protesting against the new farm laws.
    โ€œIf the government doesn't withdraw the black laws, I will return my Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award," said the boxer, who won the first-ever Olympic medal for India in the sport in 2008.

    After dominating proceedings under Ajinkya Rahane's captaincy on Day 1, the Indian cricket team was looking to carry the momentum on the second day's play in the 2nd Test against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).ย 

    The likes of Shubman Gill (45) and Cheteshwar Pujara (17) were beginning to threaten the hosts before Pat Cummins struck to peg the tourists back.
    The right-arm seamer handed Australia early breakthroughs after dismissing both Gill and Pujara in successive overs.ย 
    While it was a loose shot from Gill that spelt his doom in the 22nd over, Cummins claimed his second scalp of the day after some brilliance behind the stumps from skipper Tim Paine in the 24th over.
    A pearler of a pluck from Paine! And it's the big wicket of Pujara too!@hcltech | #AUSvIND pic.twitter.com/q4rFhCb7Yj
    โ€” cricket.com.au (@cricketcomau) December 27, 2020
    Negating a length ball, Pujara was looking to defend when the ball moved a bit, taking the outside edge of the willow and travelling fast behind the stumps. Despite being wrong-footed, Paine did really well to get low and pluck it with his right hand to get his team on top in the first session of Day 2.
    The catch earned Paine a lot of plaudits from both fans and pundits alike, with Aussie spin legend Shane Warne, too, singing his praise. "Screamer, it wouldn't have carried to the slips. Excellent catch from the wicketkeeper," Warne said.ย 
    Later in the day, Paine took another catch, this time playing a key role in the dismissal of Rishabh Pant (). The 60th over saw Paine collecting the ball cleanly after a bottom edge from Pant's willow. While the catch handed Mitchell Starc a wicket, it helped the Aussie skipper become the fastest wicket-keeper to register 150 dismissals in Test cricket.
    Paine managed to surpass South Africa's Quinton de Kock after taking just 33 innings to achieve the feat. De Kock had recorded 150 Test dismissals as a wicket-keeper in 34 innings.ย 
    The other bigwigs on the list include Adam Gilchrist, who took 36 innings to notch up the milestone, and Mark Boucher who took 38 innings.
