    β€œJaa simran jaa, jee le apni zindagi”, "Bade bade deshon mein, aisi chhoti chotti baatein hoti rehti hai Senorita”. These are just some of the many one-liners our brains have registered over the years, courtesy the ageless magic and the cultural impact that a certain blockbuster managed to create. The timeless appeal and the charisma of Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge continues to live on, much long after the perennial hit celebrated 25 years of its golden existence.


    So what is it about Raj and Simran’s love story that has managed to pass itself down, from generation to generation and continues to make everyone watch it every time it is on TV? Here are some timeless lessons that every millennial can learn from this NRI model romance:
    1.Β Utopian Love Doesn’t Always WinRaj’s love for Simran, his lack of expressing it even once on that Europe tour, Simran’s attraction to him and her acceptance of the fact that everything they shared amongst them, all those moments, that was love for these two characters. While in a Utopian world, this kind of Shakespearean romance is all one would want, the reality is that for most Indians, family acceptance and marriage go hand in hand. The movie reminds us that while fighting for love is important, having a reality check of your situation is also crucial. Not everyone can chase a Simran to India like Raj. Use social media, connect before you disappear.

    2.Β Importance Of Chasing Your FreedomOn one hand, we have Simran being the perfect daughter who is weaved in the patriarchal system and is aware that a scripted fate awaits her and is somewhere trying to make peace with it. She tries to bargain for her freedom from β€˜Bauji’ as she cajoles him to let her go on one last voyage before he gets her married to a stranger back home. On the other hand, we’ve got Raj who epitomises the β€˜spoilt brat’ image and mirrors the callousness that is often attached to the clichΓ©d image of rich NRI kids. Anyway, both of them, in their own way, chase and fight for their freedom. Be it opposing the views of your parents, or yearning for them to understand your perspective, freedom is a choice we have to make for ourselves.

    3.Β Defining Your Own MoralityThe movie emphasizes the importance of family values, morals and loving your parents to the point that you got to agree & fulfil all their wishes. The projection of this idea is wonderful but in 2020, as we continue being the β€˜woke’ generation, please don’t embrace any disrespect towards the people who love you the most, but also draw your own line of β€˜morality'. Have a mind of your own, turn disagreements into discussions but build your own value chart that is not burdened with generational trauma.

    4.Β Love DeeplyIt’s a love story, right? So it’s meant to preach this message. Love one another, love yourself enough to allow good things to happen to you, love your parents, love your family. Above all, trust the process. The movie shows how some situations are not the best in life, but someone always comes through, offering advice, offering their love, which will help you sail through it all. Be it Raj’s father who leaves everything to be his wingman, or Simran’s mother, who is aware of the price she will have to pay if her daughter elopes with the lover, or be it everyone’s favourite β€˜Bauji’ who wins every heart with β€˜Ja Simran, jee le apni zindagi’, the movie is a stark reminder that love is a process that needs to be instilled and practised with care and determination.

    Whether it's a man or woman, their wedding day is arguably one of the most important days in their life. Starting a new journey with a person is full of excitement and the pre-wedding functions add to the fervour. Similarly, the photoshoots have also become an integral part of the modern-day wedding.
    From picturesque locations, eye-catching attire to romantic poses, wedding shoots remain a big hit among modern-day couples. While everyone's looking to make theirs a memorable one, have you wondered what a wedding photoshoot of a cricketer looks like? Well, thanks to Sanjida Islam, now we know the answer.
    Β© Twitter/@BCBtigers
    The Bangladesh women's cricketer recently tied the nuptial knot with Mim Mosaddeak, who plays first-class cricket for Rangpur.Β 

    While there is nothing new about cricketers finding their soulmates in the same profession, Mitchell Starc and Alyssa Healy being a prime example, the 24-year-old Bangladeshi cricketer stumped everyone with her unique wedding photoshoot.

    β€” ICC (@ICC) October 21, 2020
    Dressed in traditional attire and sporting pretty ornaments, Sanjida got her wedding photoshoot done on a cricket field where she was snapped playing her favourite game. The International Cricket Council (ICC) took note of her uncanny photoshoot and shared it on social media.
    Lovely pic...one of the best I have seen in recent times. God bless her..
    β€” Prit (@prit_raman) October 21, 2020
    Making her international debut in 2012, Sanjida has represented Bangladesh in 70 matches. A top-order batswoman blessed with natural timing, the right-hander has scored 174 runs in 16 One-Day International (ODI) games.Β 
    When it comes to Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is), the Bangladeshi cricketer has 520 runs to her name in 54 matches. She last featured for Bangladesh in a T20I against Sri Lanka on 2nd March.

    Seriously man, how does Anil Kapoor manage to look so young, day and day out?Β 
    Just take a look at his contemporaries, and you’ll see how at times it seems that the man hasn’t aged a single day ever since he turned 35.
    Β© Instagram/anilskapoor
    Just a few weeks ago, he posted a few pictures on Instagram, showing his biceps off, which went viral on the Internet. Honestly, it wouldn’t be farfetched to say that he definitely put most 30-year-old men to shame.
    Β© Instagram/anilskapoor
    And if that wasn’t enough, he is now seen to be working out at a beach in Alibaug.

    View this post on InstagramDuring the lockdown I was dreaming about the beach...dreaming of escaping...finally I get to the beach and my trainer @marcyogimead, makes me sprint...fitness always comes first...It’s not about the location but about the dedication... πŸ“Έ @marcyogimeadA post shared by (@anilskapoor)
    Well, now, he has dropped a rather tasteful masterclass on how to pose for and take elegant, but drool-worthy shirtless photos.
    Β© Instagram/anilskapoor
    First of all, there is the whole manscaping bit. Although we strongly believe that men ought to accept their body hair as it is, we also support it, if someone chooses to get rid of it, as long as it is done in a healthy manner.Β Β 

    Then there is the backdrop of the photos. A clean, sandy beach, without any people or pesky hawkers in the background, with a part of the sea in the background, making waves, is just perfect.Β 
    Β© Instagram/anilskapoor
    And then, of course, you ought to have the obligatory photograph, inside the pool.Β Β 

    Now, it may seem to be a cliche, at times if you pose in a very cheesy way, it is, but this is far better than those shirtless selfies people click at the gym, trying to pop a vein.
    Β© Instagram/anilskapoor
    Say what you will about the man, but it seems like he has an endless supply of the elixir of youth.Β Β 

    In all seriousness though, if we manage to look this good, and are somehow this fit when we cross 60, it will be nothing short of a miracle.

    While their rivals have been making merry, Manchester United has struggled to find their elusive form and even match-winning players in a painful era post Sir Alex Ferguson's trophy-laden reign. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been trying his best to bring the days of glory back to the hallowed Old Trafford, but it has undeniably proved to be an uphill battle.
    But, on 21st October, neither their past performances nor the lack of match-winners in their squad mattered, as Manchester United turned the clock back with a spirited performance against much-stronger rivals Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League group stage clash.Β 
    Taking on one of Europe's biggest clubs, the Red Devils left everyone shell-shocked with a thrilling 2-1 win at Parc des Princes.
    Β© Reuters
    Solskjaer's men had taken a first-half lead following a Bruno Fernandes penalty. But, it looked like PSG would escape with a draw despite a poor performance when Anthony Martial headed a Neymar corner into his own net 10 minutes into the second half. In the end, Marcus Rashford, who had also scored a winner against PSG in 2019, once again stepped up to the task and slotted home the deciding goal in the 87th minute.

    Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - tactically outplayed PSG away in the Champions League yet you’ll still hear people repeating the phrase β€œhe has no tactics” that they’ve read from someone on the internet.
    β€” Jack (@UnitedHeaven_) October 20, 2020
    For a team that had nowhere to hide following their embarrassing 6-1 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, United's result was a much-needed result for their distraught fans. From Solksjaer's tactics to Rashford's winner, the match had many positives for United. But, there were only two names, Axel Tuanzebe and Alex Telles, on the lips of Man Utd fans who're seen singing their praise.
    We finally have someone that can cross a ball, Telles you beauty πŸ‡§πŸ‡·
    β€” Aidan Walsh (@AidanWalshMUFC) October 20, 2020Tuanzebe is so clear of every other defender we have it’s not even close
    β€” Moe (@MoeThe6th) October 20, 2020Deploying a more defensive 5-3-2 formation to contain the attacking threat of PSG, Solskjaer handed their Deadline-Day signing Telles his debut on the left and academy graduate Tuanzebe his first senior start in 10 months to play with Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof in a three-man central defence.
    Both Axel and Alex couldn't have asked for a tougher assignment, but, contrary to popular perception, the performance of the Man Utd duo was nothing short of impressive. While the England defender impressed everyone with his defensive abilities that allowed him to successfully contain the PSG top three, his Brazilian teammate was lauded for his accurate crosses.
    Mental that Tuanzebe hasn’t played a game since Colchester in the League Cup last December because of injury and he’s not looked out of place tonight against PSG!
    β€” Ryan Jones (@RyJones93) October 20, 2020
    Quick on his feet and physically strong, Tuanzebe has the right attributes of a top defender. But, it's his inability to stay fit that has worked against him in the past. But, in Paris, a fully-fit Tuanzebe looked in ominous form.
    Β© Reuters
    On a couple of occasions, the 22-year-old was left one on one with Kylian Mbappe but he stood up against the French star, dispossessing him of the ball without going to ground. He won 100 per cent of his aerial duels, had a 92 per cent pass accuracy and made seven clearances (more than any other United player in the game).

    these Telles crosses my word we might have the Brazilian Beckham
    β€” β€˜ (@vintageredss) October 20, 2020
    While Tuanzebe impressed in defence, Telles had a debut to remember against PSG. The left-back's technical ability showed that he can cross the ball with pinpoint accuracy - something United has missed dearly in the past. He ended the night with most crosses (eight) and created more chances (three) than anyone else on the pitch
    Β© Reuters
    He took a couple of excellent corners in the first-half and then followed it up with some menacing crosses in the box after half-time. In Telles, United have a player who'll not only bust a gut to make those overlap runs but also aid his teammates with solidity in defence.

    Placed in a difficult group, United will now face Rb Leipzig at home next week, with the German side looking dangerous following their 2-0 win over Istanbul Basaksehir. After that Solskjaer's men will find themselves bracing for a double-header against the Turkish champions before hosting PSG in December.Β

    Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol starrer Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge completed 25 years yesterday and people celebrated the day as the nation's favourite jodi Raj and Simran continue enjoying a cult following, 25 years on. Just like many others, Swara Bhasker took to Twitter to share some photos of Shah Rukh Khan’s character Raj and wrote,
    β€œFind a guy who looks at you the way Raj looks at Simran!!!! #DDLJ25.”Find a guy who looks at you the way Raj looks at Simran!!!! #DDLJ25 ⁦ pic.twitter.com/49PrSmVF1J
    β€” Swara Bhasker (@ReallySwara) October 20, 2020
    Soon, a Twitter user reminded her of how problematic Raj was. He wrote,Β 
    β€˜Raj does the following to Simran: 1. Lie that he raped her as a joke. 2. Tears her clothes in public (accidentally, but who pulls a woman by the back of her dress anyway?) 3. Forces her to dance, and in the process gropes her and feels up her bareback Why do women love creeps?”Replying to the same, she too criticized Shah Rukh Khan’s character in the film. In her tweet, she wrote,Β 
    β€œSadly u r are right.. I mean about what all Raj does. This is precisely the power of #Bollywood, right? It makes stalking seem romantic. And we all are influenced by it - sometimes in the form of nostalgia & sometimes despite our own best intentions. We all need to learn & change.”Sadly u r are right.. I mean abt what all Raj does..

    β€” Swara Bhasker (@ReallySwara) October 20, 2020
    Well, we do agree with the fact that we have been idolizing Raj for all the wrong reasons and the film did promote stalking and managed to send out quite a few wrong messages. Unfortunately, however, Swara was trending by the next morning for calling out Raj from DDLJ and people started to troll her opinion.
    Ha penchow...... Movie mat banao... Bas Bhagwat Gita ka path karate raho TV per aur Theatre mein.. bahut gyaan milega sbko... Movie ko movie rhne do. Do not think that movie is for some higher purpose and u are part of it

    While Indian people were busy debating who would play all the characters in a Hindi remake of Money Heist and wondering if Shah Rukh Khan would actually play the professor or not, Pakistan has gone ahead and actually made their own version of the show.
    Β© Netflix
    Yes, a lot of popular shows are remade in different countries and the results are almost always disastrous, and yet, people have not learned the lesson that it's not okay to copy, especially when it's turning out to be extremely cringey.

    I mean, look at the Pakistani Money Heist copy called 50 Crores, an action movie with an uncanny resemblance to the hit Spanish show.

    The intolerance level of Indians is getting crazier with every passing day. From taking down the Tanishq ad showing an inter-religion happy marriage to boycotting films for hurting religious sentiments, we now have enough proof of what kind of a society we are living in.Β 

    Since the trailer of Laxmmi Bomb has been released, the Akshay Kumar film got entangled into various controversies. People on Twitter have been asking to boycott the movie as the film showcases interfaith wedding and also they find the title of the film problematic because a Hindu goddess' name has been used.Β

    They allegedly have a problem with the title of the film and are saying that the movie’s title is making fun of Hindu Goddess Laxmi and is therefore hurting the sentiments of the community.
    In the letter, the Sena wrote that if in case their demands are not met, the members will protest outside cinema halls and they have also requested people to boycott the film if the title remains the same.
    Hindu Sena has given a complaint letter @PrakashJavdekar to take appropriate action against the promoters, cast and crew of the upcoming movie "Laxmmi Bomb" starring @akshaykumar and directed by Sh Raghava Lawrence for making mockery of Hindu Goddess Laxmi's name, @ANI pic.twitter.com/5UjVfXBNJB

    "If our demand is not fulfilled, all my Hindu Sainiks shall protest against this movie outside every Cinema hall where this movie may be screened across the nation. I request everyone belonging to the Hindu community to boycott the movie if the movie title is not changed before the release."
    Vishnu Gupta, National President of Hindu Sena, said, "The name of the movie is highly derogatory and offensive in nature, the name of Hindu Goddess Laxmi, the goddess of fortune and wealth has been used in the movie title along with the word Bomb which is unacceptable to the Hindu community. In the said name of the movie, Bomb word has been used to provoke the Hindu community.”
    Here’s what people on the internet have to say about this –
    @akshaykumar we have been your fan for years but the title of your recent film #LaxmiBomb has indeed hurt feelings of Hindus. I hope that your film does not portray any Hindu man or woman as a terrorist or a suicide bomber.

    The thing with actors and celebrities in Bollywood is, that no matter what era you pick, there have always been people who were the harbingers of fashion and styleΒ for the general masses.Β 
    That is what happens - in a country that is as obsessed with movies as India is, it is the movie stars who inspire the common people’s fashion aesthetics.
    Β© BCCL
    Unfortunately though, just like stardom, the status of a style icon may be short-lived, as it happened with the following men.
    Β© T-Series
    Here are 6 β€˜forgotten’ stars from the 1980s & 1990s who were legit style iconsΒ back in the day:

    1.Β Rahul Roy Β© T-Series
    Rahul Roy had a debut that many people dream of. His very first film, Aashiqui, was a cult classic and had a soundtrack that would rule the charts for almost a decade.Β 

    This was at a time when movie music videos were becoming increasingly popular on television. He practically became a star overnight. Over the next few years, he did a good number of films, before dropping out of the scene.Β 
    Ever since 1995, he would appear in a couple of films and disappear for 3-4 years.
    2.Β Kumar Gaurav Β© Shemaroo
    Kumar Gaurav, too, had a magnificent debut with the 1981 film Love Story. There was an era where he was just churning out hit films.Β 

    Naturally, the people of India took after him and started emulating his mannerisms, his hairstyle, and the way he would dress.Β 
    3.Β Raj Kiran Β© Shemaroo
    Raj Kiran was a proper actor’s actor. He struck just the right balance between art films and commercially viable masala films.Β 

    Although he never went on to become the megastar that some of his contemporaries were, people knew that as far acting was concerned, he was in a league of his own.Β 
    What many people don’t realise, is that Raj had a dope sense of style, and often would dress sharper than most of his contemporaries.Β 
    4. Deepak Tijori Β© BCCL
    Deepak Tijori too debuted with Aashiqui and went on to become an overnight star. He had developed a massive fan following after the success of the film and was seen in a number of great films through the 1990s.Β 

    He had an inexplicable charm about himself, which, coupled with his sharp sense of style, ensured that his fans would often emulate the way he dressed and styled himself.
    5.Β Chandrachur Singh Β© BCCL
    Chandrachur Singh was all set to become the next big star of the 1990s, after a number of immaculate performances in films like Tere Mere Sapne and Maachis, his earliest films. His acting career was cut short after a serious injury.Β 

    Although he was recently seen in the web series Aarya, he was mainly absent from the scene. Nonetheless, back in his prime, he was a guy men would look up to, for some really dope style inspirations.
    6.Β Sharad Kapoor Β© BCCL
    Finally, we have Sharad Kapoor. Although the man has acted in a number of films and was mainly seen as a villain or a supporting actor, he still had a massive fan following. This was somewhat unheard of for an actor who was mainly cast as the villain.Β 

    He had a very raw and rustic appeal, which, coupled with his sense of fashion, made him a style icon, that almost everyone followed.

    Netflix is arguably one of the most popular streaming services on the market, if not the best. In fact, things have only gotten better for them ever since the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions came into place. People now have more time in their hands than usual and it means more time to binge something on Netflix.
    Needless to say, Netflix is also good at enticing people and luring them into getting their subscription. On the same lines, the company is now going to offer a weekend-long trial in India. That's right, Netflix will host what it calls a "streamfest" in India and allow anyone and everyone to access their service for free.

    As reported by the folks over at Protocol, Netflix will offer its service for free on the weekend of December 4. Yes, there's still plenty of time but you might want to plan out how you're going to take advantage of this if you don't have a subscription already.

    In an earnings call, Greg Peters, the chief operating officer for Netflix, said, "We think that giving everyone in the country access to Netflix for free for a weekend could be a great way to expose a bunch of new people to the amazing stories that we have, the service, how the service works, really create an event, and hopefully get a bunch of those folks to sign up. So we’re going to try that in India.”

    Although this "streamfest" seems to be limited to just India for now, we expect the same to trickle down in other markets too. We think Netflix is going to see some crazy response to this and they might end up getting some new subscribers in India. In case, you're wondering, you can sign-up for a subscription for as low as Rs 199 per month in India.

    When the Age Of Empires III: Definitive Edition was announced, I probably screamed at the top of my lungs because it evoked so many feelings from my childhood. The original game launched 15 years ago and Microsoft Studios remastered, in my opinion, one of the most underrated games in the franchise and the real-time strategy (RTS) genre. In many ways, this is the perfect remaster fans could have asked for while some changes baffled me as well. During our playthrough of the game, we had special moments just like they were 15 years ago while also getting a bit overshadowed by its predecessor, both the original and the remaster.Β

    However, it is prudent to point out Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition is a lot of fun once you get into it. I spent most of my time in the campaign mode but my experience in the multiplayer mode is also worth mentioning. Proving my worth in the multiplayer mode quickly showed me that I needed to brush up my RTS skills that have become rusty. I still prefer AOE2’s multiplayer but the game truly shines in its campaign mode.

    The game is a faithful remaster of the original and there’s no denying that AOE: III was one of the best games that came out in the series. Our only complaint is that it is way too faithful to the original as there were no new features or mechanics added to to the overall gameplay. If you’ve played the original, the game is set in the 17th century and takes you on a journey up to the 19th century. You can get to pick from five of the major civilisations from the time i.e. the British, the Dutch, the Ottomans, the Sioux or the Japanese. Your main goal is to build up an empire that is not only technologically advanced but can also take over regions occupied by the four other empires.Β 
    Much like any RTS game, you will start with a Town Center and a few villagers that help in gathering resources for building your city and military. You start out collecting essential resources that you need to build up barracks, homes and research new technologies so that you can develop new weapons. Once you go from one β€œAge” to the other, even more buildings, military units and other resources open up for you to keep building your empire. You need to be careful about how you use your resources as you may need it right away to build more stuff you need or save some for the future when you develop new technologies and powerful units. You also need to be wary of which civilisation you choose to play with as each has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, the Dutch can produce a lot of gold which you can use to build a great army, however it will be costly. Similarly, you can play as the Russians and it will be harder for you to create a thriving economy but far easier to amass an army.Β

    We loved the fact that developers Forgotten Empires and Tantalus did not mess with the balancing of the game much. It provides a challenge for everyone no matter which empire you choose to play with. Having said that, we cannot comment about balancing for the multiplayer mode as players tend to find exploits with more time they spend with the game. The biggest difference you will find between AOE: III and other games in the franchise is that the game is more than just city-building. You get an explorer unit in every match where they can cover a broader area of the map and collect treasures along the way. You also gain experience which can be used to collect shipments from your home base. You can use different types of cards that can be used together for these shipments. These cards add a new facet to RTS games which makes you think harder about what your next move will be.Β

    Having said that, we spent way too much time exploring and even the game puts more focus on this mechanic, which is also a big complaint amongst players in the community. It takes attention away from what AOE games are known for, building and fighting with other empires. It also affects the pacing of the game which may not be great for hardcore RTS players who like to play the traditional way.Β 

    When comparing AOE III Definitive Edition with its predecessor, new additions will feel lacklustre. There are three new features and other quality-of-life upgrades that don’t feel exciting enough for old and new players alike. Some of the biggest changes include Art of War modes and Historical Battles. You get to play with two new civilisations i.e. the Inca and the Swedes where the latter are quite aggressive with their military tactics. The Inca on the other hand have vast resources especially food which can be stored and used for the military in the future. We didn’t get into detail with the new mode, however it seems like a value addition for players who want something more than the original game.Β

    Historical Battles on the other hand was far more interesting as the mode depicts early modern military campaigns you may have read about in your history books. You get to play in Ethiopia, Russia and other regions where scenarios are longer and more challenging than the fictional campaign. It’s a great way to practice your skills for the multiplayer as well since some of these battles can get intense real quick.Β

    Having said that, overall we did feel there was a lack of content, especially when compared with AOEII: Definitive Edition. There are far fewer civilisations to play with and lack a good number of campaign missions. AOE II: Definitive Edition came with over 100 campaign missions which is not the case here. Speaking of campaigns, in AOE III Definitive Edition, the main campaign does not follow historically accurate military campaigns and instead focuses on a fictional family feeding with a secret society. Having said that, you will experience real-life events from history during your campaign but they don’t play a bigger role than you would expect. Regardless of its setting, the game is worthy of playing because the story is still engaging enough for AOE fans.Β 

    We did mention earlier that Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition is a remake of the original and it wouldn’t be fair if we don’t mention how good the game looks. The game did get a major overhaul in the graphics department and sounds better than ever before. Every character model has been redone and playing this game in 4K resolution was a dream. Even when you are zoomed in to the fullest, characters still look great. You will also notice major improvements in particle effects, especially during battle. Buildings fall apart as you would expect from a DICE engine powered game and adds a great deal of immersion to your gameplay. We played the game on our RTX 2080Ti machine and it looked phenomenal and ran with little to no frame rate drops.Β 
    The Final SayΒ If you’ve played the original, you simply can’t miss out on the remastered version of Age of Empires III as it's probably the best way to play the game right now. The new version does add new modes and civilisations, however it does feel a bit lacking in content. With a great campaign, spectacular soundtrack and additions that do provide quality updates, Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition is a fine-tuned version of the 2005 game we always wanted.Β

    In the era of Twenty20 (T20) cricket where bats are getting bigger, boundaries are shorter and batsmen appear to be more menacing than ever, Ravichandran Ashwin remains one of the few bowlers who is trying to bridge the gap between the bat and the ball to even the playing field in the gentleman's game.

    While his carrom ball and control over the off-breaks has got the better of the best in business, Ashwin's sharp brain is what makes him a quintessential limited-overs spinner. Thanks to his mankading incident last season, batsmen no longer dare to take a head-start at the non-striker's end when he is bowling.

    The off-spinner has already issued his "first and only warning", which was given to Aaron Finch, earlier this season. But, mankading isn't the only thing batsmen need to worry about against Ashwin.Β 
    As it turned out last night, Ashwin continues to cut a sorry figure for usually-menacing Chris Gayle.

    The Delhi Capitals (DC) spinner had got the better of the Jamaican marauder on four occasions in the past and while his team might have lost the game, Ashwin won big against Gayle yet again.

    During Punjab's run-chase, Gayle was looking dangerous, especially after hammering poor Tushar Deshpande all around the park during a 26-run fifth over. But, Gayle's brute force couldn't stand the test of Ashwin's wits as he dismissed the left-hander on his second ball of the match.

    After the match, Ashwin was seen teasing Gayle on social media with his witty post.Β 
    The Delhi spinner shared a picture from yesterday's game where he was seen tying the shoelaces of Gayle during Punjab's innings. "The devil is always in the detail. 'Tie both his feet together, before bowling to him'. @chrisgayle333 you trusted me with it and I am sorry for letting you down. Tough day for us @DelhiCapitals but, we will bounce back stronger," Ashwin captioned the Instagram post.

    While Ashwin surely had the last laugh, Gayle's dismissal had little influence on the game. A slambang knock of 53 runs from Nicholas Pooran and Glenn Maxwell's 32-run innings in the supporting role proved good enough for Punjab to eke out a much-needed five-wicket win over high-flying Delhi.

    After a series of dismal performances, Punjab seem to have rediscovered their mojo in the tournament. The KL Rahul-led brigade is now enjoying a three-match winning streak which has propelled them to the fifth spot in the points table.Β 
    On the other hand, Delhi, who has been nothing short of impressive this season, could lose the top spot if Mumbai Indians (MI) manage to win their next game.
