    The internet is filled with inspirational stories and while most of them are believable, some leave you a little sceptical.Β 

    While we are still having trouble fulfilling our daily chores, here is a 7-year-old girl named Rory van Ulft, who is making us grown-up adults feel severely useless.
    This little girl recently went viral after she created a buzz by deadlifting a whopping 80 kilos!
    According to Ladbible, the young girl started training just after her fifth birthday. The little girl has also bagged a few awards for the same and is now being called the strongest 7-year-old in the world.
    She has an Instagram account which is managed by her parents where they share extraordinary videos of her rigorous training.
    View this post on Instagram
    Here’s another video of her that’ll leave you stunned-
    View this post on Instagram
    Talking about how she is inspired to continue despite the gruelling training, Rory said in an interview, β€œI like getting stronger. Being stronger lets me do more and get better at everything I try. I don’t think about what came before, or what will come after. I don’t think about anything. I just clear my mind and do it.”

    Rory’s dad said, β€œBased on her current Sinclair total, Rory is not only the strongest seven-year-old in the world. She is likely also the strongest seven-year-old girl or boy who has ever lived, for whom there are verifiable competition results.”
    View this post on Instagram
    Goes without saying that Rory is being flooded with messages of positivity and motivation on social media, as people from across the world are rooting for her.Β 
    After all, how many 7-year-olds have you met who can lift that much? This is nothing short of incredible and Rory deserves nothing but praise!

    When it comes to fashion trends, some of them often get repeated and one of the ultimate sartorial gaffe, which was sandals worn with socks, made a resurgence in September 2020. The pairing can look daunting, but the timing of the trend, which is making a comeback couldn't have been better, since we are home amidst the pandemic.Β 
    Β© Footwearnews
    And, naturally, after this trend made a massive comeback, celebrities and A-listers followed suit and started experimenting with different combinations. One such celebrity to have taken it up a notch recently is Kunal Kemmu. To tell you the fact, Kunal is actually a massive sneakerhead and he recently grabbed our attention, wearing sneakers with extra-wide sole, inspired by Spider-Man. Although he normally associates himself with OTT sneakers, this time, his recent style trial made us sit up.Β 
    Β© Viral Bhayani
    Kunal, here, looks on-point. The black, round neck T-shirt teamed with black joggers, is a perfect monochromatic, relaxed ensemble. To make it a bit more striking, we like how he has combined a black and blue sporty watch here. That, with a quirky, floral printed mask subtly finished his look.Β 
    Β© Viral Bhayani
    But, we aren't applauding him for the outfit he wore, but what he chose to wear as his footwear. While most people would dread to combine their chappals with socks, Kunal here, like a woke fashionista, has dared to couple such a tricky trend and we have to say, he aced it. The sock-sandals or sock-chappals journey has never been an easy one, but when done right, it can look effortlessly cool. Kunal's choice of wearing black velcro chappals with 'Netflix' bright blue socks added a fun twist to his monochromatic look. Brightly coloured socks pop out, when paired with neutral coloured sandals and Kunal here has scored brownie points for that.

    It's not just Kunal but many other celebrities, including David Beckham, Kanye West etc have turned to this trend and have shown how easy and practical it can look.Β

    In all, while we missed seeing Kunal flaunting his zany pair of sneakers, this new style experiment has certainly struck a chord with us.

    Over the years, cricket, as a sport, has evolved both in terms of regulations and tactics.Β 
    In the modern era of the sport, cricketers, amid noticeable changes in the game, have also changed the way they approach cricket. That's probably why we continue to be amazed by the antics in the gentleman's game.
    One such incident occurred recently, where something quite bizarre caught everyone's attention.Β 
    During the 2nd T20I against South Africa, England's analyst Nathan Leamon was seen hanging a series of letters and numbers from the dressing-room balcony to help captain Eoin Morgan set the field.
    Signals sent from an analyst on a balcony to the captain on the pitch !!!! The world has officially gone nuts !!! #SAvENG #OnOn
    β€” Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) December 1, 2020
    While the use of England's tactic was cleared by the match referee and the International Cricket Council's (ICC's) anti-corruption unit, the weird move has attracted a fair share of criticism.Β 

    Former England captain Michael Vaughan took to Twitter and opined: "Signals sent from an analyst on a balcony to the captain on the pitch !!!! The world has officially gone nuts!!!".
    Β© Twitter/@ECB_cricket
    Echoing similar sentiments, Indian cricketer-turned-commentator Sunil Gavaskar, too, slammed England's tactic.

    "Ideally, as a captain, I would not like this thing to happen. If I was the captain, I would say, look if you want to send a message about any field placing or a bowling change, then send the 12th man across with a bottle of water or anything...a way you can pass the message or the 12th man or the coach can pass the message to the boundary fielder," Gavaskar said on the Cricket Connected Show.
    This isn't the first time when Leamon had used coded messages to help players on the field.Β 
    Earlier this year, as part of Multan Sultans camp in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), Leamon was seen using hand signals to help in the field settings for the team.

    Earlier this year when the country found its favourite β€˜hero’ in Bollywood’s fittest villain Sonu Sood, many claimed that the starry affair would die down in no time. But Sonu Sood paid no heed to the naysayers and stepped up to offer aid to anyone and everyone who needed a helping hand amid the coronavirus crisis.

    Sharing his happiness over the honour bestowed on him Sonu said, β€œAs the pandemic broke, I realised it was my duty to help my countrymen; it was an instinct that came from within...Eventually, this was something I came to Mumbai for. It was my responsibility as an Indian, which I did. I think all the love of the people which I received was simply their wishes and prayers. Once again, I won’t stop till my last breath.”

    We haven't heard about Cyrus Broacha in a while but he's come back with a bang. The 'bakra guy' has always been the chubby, funny man, but not anymore.
    View this post on Instagram
    His recent transformation has stunned everyone as he looks absolutely unrecognizable. But, there's no fat-shaming here, as he is only getting healthier and fitter and his journey is still ongoing.Β 
    He shared a picture of himself a few days ago which ended up with people calling him Johnny Bravo, and to be honest, I can see that.
    View this post on Instagram
    But, getting more in-depth about his fitness journey, how he hates losing weight, and what he thinks about cardio, he had an inspiring interview with Hindustan Times.
    Talking about his day-to-day routine, he said, "I was a morning person for a long time and wake up at 4.45 am. I walk my dogs at 5 am. I have that time to myself and it’s very therapeutic. I come back and take my proteins. I go up at 6 am, workout for an hour, and walk them again. Then I have my eggs and I am ready to leave by quarter to eight. I hit the bed by 10 pm."
    View this post on Instagram
    Coming to his hate for any type of cardio, he has some strong feelings about it. He said, "I hate yoga; I don’t like callisthenics. I hate people who come to gyms to just hang around. I hate cardio people, especially men who do cardio. Indian men have skinny arms and skinny legs. Cardio se kya hota hai [what will happen with cardio?], they lose more weight in arms and legs. They end up looking like four noodles and one big pizza in the middle."Β 
    Anyone who hates cardio feeling a little validated?Β

    While he's very much into lifting weights, a person's diet also plays an important role in fitness and that's where he gets even more related.Β Β 
    He said, "My diet is more in than out. I just keep eating. I take 18-20 eggs and three protein shakes a day. I have given up alcohol; I was a heavy drinker till 2015. I try different diets but I can’t sacrifice the taste of food. I don’t have a cheat day, but I can’t resist potato chips and those rangeen drinks that kids have. I have a six-year-old’s palate. I can resist cake and all, but I love shrikhand β€” any malai-based stuff."Β 
    Now, that's a realistic way of showing your fitness journey.Β Β 
    Of course, people snack, of course, people can't resist some of their favourite unhealthy foods, but it's great to see that you don't have to completely sacrifice everything to be fit.Β

    He's not lost a lot of weight, he's gone from 96.4kg to 91kg, but you can still see the difference because any number on the scale doesn't define how healthy or fit a person is.Β 
    Good for him, and hopefully, he doesn't skip leg day anymore.Β

    In 2017, when Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) shelled out a staggering Rs 3 crore to secure the services of Thangarasu Natarajan.Β the life of a daily wage labourer's son, who was earlier taking up odd jobs to deliver newspaper and milk, had changed in a day.Β 
    But, rather than getting complacent with newly-found fame, Natarajan knew it was only the beginning of what could very well be an inspirational journey.
    On the back of his unrelenting hard work and dedication towards the sport, Natarajan, in a matter of three years, has not only become one of the most influential bowlers in the shortest format, but also cricket-obsessed India's new hero.
    Thank you brother https://t.co/rljZUvMKGY
    β€” Natarajan (@Natarajan_91) December 8, 2020
    As noticed in the limited-overs series against Australia, Natarajan got off to a brilliant start in his international career which has bolstered his chances of making the cut for India's squad for the T20 World Cup next year.Β 
    While his ability to bowled a disciplined line, needless to mention the toe-crushing yorkers and cunning variations have earned him plaudits form cricket pundits and fans alike, it appears that, after acing the test on the field, Natarajan has visibly upped his style game off it.Β 
    First series win for my country

    β€” Natarajan (@Natarajan_91) December 7, 2020During India's ongoing tour of Australia, the left-arm seamer has been as active on social media as he has been on the field.Β Β 
    From sharing thoughts on his debut, donning the national colours for the first time to revelling in the success of India's series win, Natarajan has shown many emotions in the recent past on social media.Β

    But, his latest post is all about taking a backseat from the drama on the playing field and going sightseeing with an easy-going look.Β Β 
    Taking to Twitter, the Tamil Nadu speedster shared a couple of photos where he was seen enjoying his time exploring the beautiful city of Sydney.Β Β 
    Sporting the classic 'white-tee-blue-denims' combo, Natarajan looked super comfortable, yet classy, in a visibly raised style game.Β 
    Β© Twitter/@Natarajan_91
    Following a brilliant performance in the recently-concluded limited-overs series, Natarajan drew praise from captain Kohli who feels he can be an asset for Team India in the 2021 T20 World Cup.Β Β 

    "Natarajan - special mention to him because in the absence of [Mohammed] Shami and Bumrah, he's been the guy who has stood up and really delivered under pressure which is outstanding for the fact that he's playing his first few games at the international level," Kohli said after the 3rd T20I.Β 
    "He's very composed, very sure of what he wants to do. He's a very hardworking guy, very humble guy, and you feel happy for guys who are committed and working hard for the team when they get the results and make the team win. So, I wish him all the best and I hope that he continues to work hard on his game and continues to get better because a left-arm bowler is always an asset for any team. So, if he can bowl that well consistently it will be a great thing for us heading into the (T20) World Cup next year," the Indian skipper added.
