    Despite proving his mettle, playing for Bombay (now Mumbai), in domestic cricket, Lalchand Rajput, considered one of the best openers in India after Sunil Gavaskar, couldn't deliver on the promise on the international circuit. Playing a mere six matches, Rajput could only manage 114 runs with just a fifty to his name.
    While his international career might have witnessed a premature end, Rajput, in the limited opportunities he got, did contribute to Indian cricket over the years. At a time, MS Dhoni-led Team India was searching for a new coach, it was Rajput at the helm of affairs, as a manager, who saw the 'Men in Blue' clinch the inaugural ICC World T20 title in 2007.
    The win did bolster his case to get appointed as the new coach for India, but South Africa's Gary Kirsten beat him to occupy the all-important position. But, that didn't stop Rajput from finding success as a coach elsewhere. In recent years, he has coached the likes of Mumbai Indians, Afghanistan and, currently, Zimbabwe.

    Apart from the 2007 World T20 triumph, Rajput also had a major role to play in Virat Kohli's rise to the pinnacle of the sport. Back in 2014, when the Indian batsman witnessed a forgettable tour of England, it was Rajput who didn't just instill confidence in struggling Kohli, but also played a key role in fixing his batting technique.

    "Virat had problems in England because he was initially bowled by an in-swinger from Liam Plunkett. They then 'sorted' him out by bowling to him on the fourth or fifth stump, where he would end up playing deliveries, only to be caught behind. When he came to Mumbai (at the MCA Indoor Academy), he spent a fortnight with me," Rajput told TOI.
    Talking about the method behind fixing Kohli's problems, Rajput said: "When he came to the academy, we first tried to get his head 'still', and get his head forward, instead of it falling outside the off-stump. To correct that, we made him get his head forward, rather than allow it to fall outside the off-stump. The idea was to get him in line, in front of where the ball was delivered".

    "We then worked on his game outside the off-stump. He needed to know where his off-stump was. We designed specific drills which enabled him to iron out these issues. To his credit, he worked really hard. Later that year, when he went to Australia, he notched up four hundreds," Rajput added.

    Having helped Kohli overcome his troubles early in his career, Rajput is now ready to come to the aid of struggling Prithvi Shaw. The Indian opening batsman, who had slammed a hundred on his Test debut, has cut a sorry figure with obvious weaknesses in his batting that saw him getting dismissed for 0 & 4 in the recently-concluded 'Pink Ball' Test at the Adelaide Oval.
    While former Australian captain Ricky Ponting noticed Shaw's struggles against in-swingers in the IPL, Rajput claims to have identified the right-hander's 'Achilles heel' much earlier. "Prthvi's got a major problem in the sense that he leaves a big gap between his bat and pad. I could see this in New Zealand too. His bat comes from almost the gully region, and he makes an arc while bringing it down," Rajput said.

    "His back-lift has to be straighter. He must make sure that his right elbow touches the stomach. By doing that, his bat will become straight, and that 'gap' won't be there. He can then play that ball which comes in. I'm sure that if he's with me in the nets for a couple of days, I can work it out," he added.

    The current Zimbabwe coach also opined that people (coaches) are highlighting Shaw's weaknesses but no one is working on it. "Everyone is saying that he leaves a big gap between bat and pad, but why is nobody working on it? He's a good stroke-player. You don't see things when you're in good nick. However, when you're not among the runs, these are the problem areas where the opposition bowlers, especially if they're slightly quick, will expose you," Rajput made his point.
    More recently, Greg Chappell, former India coach, had also credited Rajput for recognising Kohli's talent early and helping him fix the gaping holes in his batting. In his column for the Sydney Morning Herald, Chappell had praised Rajput's efforts which helped Kohli in turning the tide in his favour.

    "English conditions and bowlers, Anderson in particular, had made batting seem more difficult than solving Fermat's last theorem. On his return to India, Kohli turned to Rajput for help. They spent 14 days together, working on getting into better positions to deal with the best deliveries. Tendulkar also offered some cogent inputs on batting against top bowlers," the Aussie legend wrote.

    Apart from his help in batting, Chappell also highlighted how Rajput helped Kohli in regaining confidence. "During one of these sessions, Rajput told Kohli that he could be a similar player to Viv Richards. Kohli wasn't convinced. 'No sir, he (Viv) is too great for me', he said. It is now looking like a prescient statement. Sir Vivian would be proud to have played some of the innings that Kohli has played in the intervening years," he added.
    For someone who was at the lowest of ebbs in 2014, Kohli made a remarkable comeback. In what was a defining moment of his career, Kohli, since then, hasn't looked back and appears better than ever before. Come to think of it, Shaw is in a similar position. Early struggles in his career can make or break his future as a top-order batsman. And, just like Kohli, Shaw, too, can seek help from Rajput who seems to have mastered the art of aiding Indian cricket in dire situations.

    Sunny Singh has shown his unparalleled charm already on-screen with some hit movies like Pyaar Ka Punchnama and Sonu Ki Titu Ki Sweety.

    However, besides proving that he has immaculate acting skills, he has also grabbed our attention with his style approach and for all the right reasons.
    © Viral Bhayani
    For someone whose appearance could go overlooked, we, on the other hand, are always fascinated by what he wears. Be it to the gym or promotional events, Sunny has made it clear that he is no less than a fashionista.

    He always adheres to keep it stylish yet comfortable and the recent glimpse is a testament to that. Our literal mood during this entire lockdown has been wearing loose pants, and Sunny, with his absurd pants, proved that right.
    Take a look.
    © Viral Bhayani
    The joggers or sweatpants that we mostly see are not as loose as the ones Sunny is wearing. We really like how the silhouette of these pants is loose yet tapered at the bottom. These Nike pants have the sides, entirely covered by the logo. The fabric too is unlike other track pants that we have seen.
    © Viral Bhayani
    For the unversed, Sunny is also a massive sneakerhead and is mostly seen in sneakers by Adidas and Nike, that complement his functional outfits. He is seen in a flamboyant Nike pair here, that has an edgy construction. Add to that, the colour accents of these sneakers look eccentric, taking the overall aesthetic of the pair a notch higher.
    © Viral Bhayani
    To complement this look, he paired it with an oversized eclectic white hoodie. Even the simple black mask, paired well with this look.

    In all, that's our mood too in 2020!

    Arnab Goswami has been in more controversies this year than probably most journalists all their lives. From his witch-hunt for Rhea Chakraborty to his jail time after he was named in Anvay Naik's suicide note, the man has become a topic of news rather than a reporter of it and he's back again.
    © Republic TV
    Republic Bharat, the Hindi news channel arm of Republic TV, was fined 20,000 pounds - or almost ₹20 lakh - by the United Kingdom’s communications regulator Office of Communications for broadcasting content with “offensive language”, “hate speech” and “ abusive or derogatory treatment of individuals, groups, religions or communities”. Moreover, the channel has been asked to issue an on-air apology as well.

    The action has been taken against a particular segment from the channel's show “Poochta Hai Bharat” that was aired on September 6, 2019. The issue involves the editor-in-chief discussing India’s Chandrayaan 2 spacecraft mission to the moon and comparing India’s space exploration and technological advancements compared to Pakistan.
    Truth is truth how ever bitter that might be and nothing is above than truth, truth always triumphs and here truth was spoken.
    Republic Bharat we are with you!!#ArnabGoswami pic.twitter.com/kCCKFF82SP
    — Mollen Mist (@_Misty_Moles) December 22, 2020
    The report points out at one point, the guests and Arnab Goswami said, “Their scientists, doctors, their leaders, politicians all are terrorists. Even their sportspeople. Every child is a terrorist over there. Every child is a terrorist. You are dealing with a terrorist entity."
    The report also pointed out one of the guests identified as “General Sinha”, who referred to people of Pakistan as “beggars” and threatened military attack on the country.
    Moreover, the "expressions of hatred based on intolerance of Pakistani people based on their nationality alone" are not okay.
    People are of course divided, with a lot of Arnab supporters and a lot of people trending #ThooktaHaiBharat, a wordplay on Poohcta hai Bharat.
    What next ??
    Is @republic will run a campaign against UK PM visit to India on Republic day and @KanganaTeam and #andhbhakt will support him.

    — Yugantika Singh S. (@yugankika) December 23, 2020 Second place. So Arnab Goswami joins the ranks of Zakir Naik. Yes, both are awardees of hate programming fines from Ofcom, UK, the official communications and electronic media watchdog in that country.

    OnePlus will finally launch its own smartwatch in 2021 as confirmed by CEO Pete Lau on Twitter. The company will be making a foray into wearables for the first time but there aren’t any more details available about the upcoming device. There have been rumours that the smartwatch will work on Google’s WearOS but it is still uncertain what operating system the smartwatch will use.

    The date for the launch of the smartwatch has not been set but there is a good chance it might launch alongside the OnePlus 9 next year. OnePlus has been experimenting with a smartwatch for years, “We had completed the design but we still decided to scrap it,” Lau said in an interview with Wall Street Journal. “We have to be focused” he added. 

    Many of you said you wanted a watch, and as you might have heard over the weekend—we're making one, to be released early next year. Wishes do come true. https://t.co/H1Fqv9srXj

    OnePlus has been taking baby steps and launching products beyond smartphones such as the new OnePlus TWS earphones. The company was also said to be working on a power bank but we haven’t seen any more news on that front yet.

    OnePlus launching a new smartwatch isn’t that surprising as its sister company OPPO launched its own Oppo Watch earlier this year. The two companies have adopted similar strategies in the past including sharing smartphone designs since both companies are owned by the massive conglomerate BBK Electronics. It could be possible that the OnePlus watch might take some inspiration from the Oppo Watch but we will know more once it is revealed by the company next year.

    Even though Cyberpunk 2077 has faced enough backlash from players on last-gen consoles, CD Projekt Red has managed to sell 13 million copies of the game. The official number was spotted by analyst Daniel Ahmad in a disclosure by the studio even after factoring in refunds for the game around the globe. The sales numbers factors in sales across all platforms i.e. PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, Epic Stories and CD Projekt’s own GOG.com. The company saw more than 8 million pre-orders before release and saw over 1 million players playing the game at the same time on Steam, highest for any single-player game so far.

    The game has generated over $780 million in revenue if we calculate the 13 million sales figures with the retail price of the game. This puts the game amongst the highest selling games of all time and is in good company such as Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2.  

    CD Projekt Red says that it has sold 13 million copies of Cyberpunk through digital and physical distribution channels as of December 20.

    This number factors in refunds processed by this point at both retail / digital.

    The game has seen controversy ever since it launched as the game is marred with bugs and unplayable on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. This prompted companies like Sony and Microsoft to issue refunds for games that were bought digitally. Sony even went further as the Japanese console maker removed the game from its digital storefront last week.

    Usually, game publishers aren’t really candid about sharing sales figures, but CD Projekt Red declared these numbers due to financial reasons. "The Management Board has decided to disclose the above information in the form of a current report due to its potential impact on investment-related decisions,” the company said. Soon after the game was removed from Sony’s digital store, CD Projekt Red’s stock dropped by 22 percent and reduced its market capitalisation by $1.8 billion. 

    The developers at CD Projekt Red are hard at work to fix the game’s performance issues on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The studio has already issued two hotfixes that have improved the game’s performance but more fixes are expected to be released in January and February 2021. We played the game on PC and did not experience any game-breaking bugs and you can read all about it here.

During the lockdown, Yuzi decided to learn a few new things, including dance. So, he got in touch with me and we started our classes. Slowly we became friends and sort of felt a connection.”

    An eight-time gold medallist at the ISSF World Cup, two first-place finishes at the Asian Shooting Championships and a gold-medal winner at the Commonwealth Games, Manu Bhaker at the age of just 18 has rapidly established herself as one of India's leading shooters and a medal prospect for the upcoming Olympic Games.

    Carrying the hopes of a billion fans on her young shoulders, the Haryana airgun shooter was preparing for her debut at the Olympics earlier this year when the global pandemic led to the postponement of the mega event. Restricted to her home, Bhaker found solace in yoga and meditation in a bid to keep herself calm and composed. And, months later, she is now preparing for a new challenge.
