    Not only this, but the Himalayan state has also decided to finally open its border with West Bengal for unrestricted movement of Vehicles from October 1. Also, the tourists can now make hotel bookings from September 27.

    A Standard Operating Procedure for the hotels and the tourism sector will also get released by the government soon.  The already existing odd-even road rationing rule for public vehicles will be discontinued from October 1, but will continue for private vehicles.

    The odd-even rule, which was initially implemented in Delhi to curb air pollution by limiting the number of cars on road and a similar rule was imposed in Sikkim to reduce movement amid the COVID-19 outbreak.

    Here’s what people have to say about the re-opening of Sikkim for tourism as travel junkies are already excited-
    - Sikkim to reopen for tourists from October 10.

    - India’s travel bubble extends to 13 countries which includes United Kingdom, United States of America, Germany, France, United Arab Emirates, Canada, the Maldives, Nigeria, Qatar, Bahrain, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Japan.

    You might think you're lucky, but you can never compete with this guy who spent the weekend with one of the most beautiful Hollywood actresses.
    Yep, a desi guy basically ended the 'couple challenge' that was trending on Twitter recently by sharing a truly romantic picture with Baywatch star Alexandra Daddario.
    Haters will say this is photoshopped #couplechallenge pic.twitter.com/ziSlsGmiwh
    — Akash_ (@BarnabasAkash) September 24, 2020
    Couple goals, for real. Especially, couple goals in a pandemic. I mean, look at the social distancing, the mask, everything is perfect. Take notes, this is how far you should stand from someone.

    While the picture in itself is pretty funny, what makes it all better is the fact that even Alexandra herself started to reminisce about their 'weekend'. Aww.
    This was such a fun weekend https://t.co/R7vpWA9CfH
    — Alexandra Daddario (@AADaddario) September 24, 2020
    So cute guys, but this is too much PDA, they should really tone it down.

    Honestly, one of the best things to happen online is when even celebrities get on in the fun and take everything in good humour, instead of getting offended.
    What I'm confused about is how the tweet reached her in the first place, though, as she's not even tagged in it. 
    Safety first, people. 
    She is pic.twitter.com/9a2TPbBP8R
    — Abhay tyagi (@_theindomitable) September 24, 2020 Wholesome.

    Before we get started with the review, we do have to give our respect to Samsung for trying out a new design for a pair of TWS earphones. It may look like rajma (beans) and may even look awkward to use at first, but for some reason, it works and it works well. I’ve been using the Buds Live for almost a week to consume content on YouTube, listen to music on Spotify and of course to cancel out unwanted noise around me. While I would have loved to test the Buds Live in a long flight, unfortunately, that is not possible at the moment. The TWS bean-shaped earbuds have active noise cancellation, better battery life than the Galaxy Buds and intuitive touch controls that is perfect for every Android user out there. Here’s what I think about the Galaxy Buds Live and how it sounded during our review period:
    Design © MensXP/Akshay Bhalla
    Let’s just say the design of the Galaxy Buds Live is daring and the risk may even pay off for them, considering it doesn’t look like anything out there. Sure, it may look weird at first, but the design works in ways that you probably have not experienced before with regular TWS earbuds. The fact that it is not an AirPods Pro clone deserves a point in our book because we’re kind of tired seeing copied designs by Realme, Xiaomi and all the other brands that have flooded the market with half-baked earphones. Due to the space of the earbuds, it fits in your ears perfectly and does not fall off even if you aggressively shake your head around. It is a bit weird to place them in your ear canal at first, but you get the hang of it after a few tries. The Galaxy Buds Live really do blend in with your ears as there’s nothing really protruding from your ear. In fact, this design also works well if you like to watch content in bed and lay down sideways. Since the Buds live don’t protrude, it doesn’t hurt your ears when using them laying down sideways. That’s the only complaint we had with the Sony WF-1000XM4 and we definitely prefer this design over bulky earphones.
    © MensXP/Akshay Bhalla
    Having said that, there is one disadvantage to this design, if you have small ears, this may be too big for your ears. You can still use them, but after a few hours, it can get a bit uncomfortable as mentioned by my partner. I have huge years so for me this design fits perfectly. However, if you have small ears, we recommend trying them first before purchasing.
    © MensXP/Akshay Bhalla
    The charging case on the Buds Live is also quite comfortable to hold and can easily be pocketed. It is larger than the Buds Live but the square design works in its favour. The charging case adds up to 21 hours of battery life which is more than enough for a long flight to the other part of the world. The charging case also supports wireless charging which means you can use it with any Qi-wireless charger or use a Samsung Galaxy S20 or Note 20’s PowerShare feature.

    Sound Quality And ANC © MensXP/Akshay Bhalla
    The Buds Live aren’t exactly your typical ANC TWS earbud as they have an open-back which does result in some sound leakage. It also means that the ANC feature is not perfect. However, we were quite impressed that Samsung still managed to get that feature working on the Buds Live. The ANC feature does not work as well as the Sony WF-1000XM3, but it gets the job done. I tested the buds in two scenarios; one being around extremely loud dogs and the other trying to block out noise during a product briefing. During the product briefing session, I amped up the volume on my laptop to full and sat right next to it. I was able to block off the other person’s voice after turning on the ANC feature which was quite remarkable. However, my loud dogs got the better of the feature as the Buds Live could not block out my dogs’ barks entirely. To be honest, the Buds Live will work perfectly in flights to block off the engine sound and in public transportation. However, if you are on a busy street, you will end up hearing ambient noise.

    Having said that, the sound quality on the Galaxy Buds Live is exceptional across all genres of music. The low-frequencies are represented well while the mid and high frequencies have enough headroom for clear sound. If you like listening to Hip-Hop or electronic music; the Buds Live are ideal for you. For live music, we would suggest turning down the bass a bit as it can overpower other frequencies. You can do that by Buds Live app and switching the equaliser to ‘Soft’. You can also use the ‘Dynamic’ EQ setting which basically tunes the buds automatically according to the content. It automatically switches sound profiles when you are listening to a podcast, watching a video or when listening to music.
    © MensXP/Akshay Bhalla
    The fact that you can adjust the equaliser right from the app also means that you can tune the Buds Live to your liking. You can even adjust certain actions on the touch controls. For example, you can touch and hold any of the earbuds to switch on or off active noise cancellation. You can assign to either both buds or just one, we assigned it to the left bud. Similarly, you can even access volume control by touching and holding provided you’ve assigned that action to an earbud. Other controls such as tapping the earbuds control music playback and skip tracks. You can even turn on an option that takes accidental touches into account. Other features such as reading notifications aloud also work as advertised. However, we do have one gripe with the earbuds. The music does not automatically pause when you take out the earbud. It does work at times but it isn’t as accurate as the Galaxy Buds.

    If you are into vlogging, then Samsung has also included an incredible feature for you. The microphones and the ANC feature is used in tandem with a Galaxy S20 or Note 20 device to record crystal clear audio recordings for your vlogs. So if you are a content creator, you can use the Buds Live as it removes most of the wind noise in the final recording and even traffic noises. We may just use these at events to cancel out unwanted noise in our recordings.
    The Final Say © MensXP/Akshay Bhalla
    For Rs 14,990, you don’t only get a quality ANC TWS earbud, you can potentially use it for making vlogs and become an influencer online very quickly. With great sound and a comfortable fit, the Galaxy Buds Live is the perfect accessory an Android user can buy today. If you are a Samsung user, whether a tablet or a phone, buying the Buds Live is a no-brainer.

    The grooming world for men is vast. There are so many helpful products including gels, colognes, shaving kits etc. that help men look their best. But there are also a few grooming products that are downright weird and will make you wonder who would even buy them. 
    Here are some of the most bizarre grooming products for men that we found on the internet:
    1. Bacon-Scented Beard Oil © Amazon
    Imagine you put this bacon-scented beard oil on your beard and go for a date. You sure don't want to smell like cured meat especially if the date progresses well into the night. 

    There's also bacon shaving cream, bacon salt etc. The stuff tastes great, sure, but, not on the body. 
    2. Goatee Outliner Kit © Youtube/Michael Zagano
    For men who love to keep a goatee, instead of other beard styles, you can own this Goatee outliner. But, do you really need to overspend and enhance the risk of not having a beard at all? We reckon not. 

    We suggest you do it with a trimmer or head to a local barber.
    3. Fresh Balls Lotion © Amazon
    The name in itself will make you cringe. Add to that, there's also a line that says 'prevents wetness'. 

    While this is a good, straight-forward marketing strategy, we don't know if people really want so much freshness down there as it claims. It says that it's anti-chafe and paraben-free as well. 
    4. 3D Bikini Briefs © Aliexpress
    This isn't technically a grooming product but this slim-cut, bikini brief has a cringey 3D design. It says it's comfortable and soft to wear and the wolf-bulge gives enough space to you, but isn't this just... too much?

    5. Clean Your Weenie © Stupidiotic
    If using an everyday soap isn't good enough, there's a doughnut-shaped bar that helps clean a man's pecker. Yes, that's what it says. 

    This product makes for a great gift to pull a prank on your friend.
    6. Spray-On Hair © iStock
    We have heard hair sprays that help maintain a hairstyle but a spray for thinning hair? 

    Well, there's actually a product that men can spray on their bald patch and it will work the magic of making the hair look thicker. However, if you overspray, it might look as if you are wearing a toupee. 
    7. Dong Deodrant © iStock
    If you wish to keep your pecker smelling like roses or daisies all day long, there's a dong deodorant spray that kills the bacteria and kills the crotch stink. Just a quick spritz and you will be sorted for the day. 

    8. Beard Glitter © Pinterest
    You can go all arts and craft on a coloured paper but adding glitz to your beard and making it dazzle will make you look like a unicorn for sure. Unless you are actually going for that look, this trend is a little out there, especially for Indian men. 

    However, this is probably the only product that isn't as bizarre and is a trend that's slowly emerging. So, the next time you have a theme party, don't forget to splash some of it on your beard and become the centre of attention.

    Bigg Boss is all set to kickstart its 14th season, and we suppose that number itself is enough to make us realise how popular the show must be to be brought for yet another year. Now, while most of the country is still reeling from the consequences of COVID-19, it’s being considered rather bold of the makers to bring back Bigg Boss amid a pandemic outbreak.
    © Instagram/Colors TV
    Anyhow, regardless of what may be going on outside, it seems the makers of Bigg Boss 14 have taken care of everything that one could possibly ask for (and more) inside Bigg Boss house. Designed to give a totally new look and feel to the place, this year’s Bigg Boss 14 has apparently been created as a “befitting reply to 2020” that forced all humanity to follow another invisible Boss’ rules in their own homes.
    © Instagram/Colors TV
    So this time Bigg Boss makers decided to make up for the lost time and introduce new sections to the house including a restaurant, spa, movie theatre as well as a mall of their own! Yes you read that right, Bigg Boss housemates this time will get to live life to the fullest inside the house, where the reality will be a lot different and they will be able to enjoy the joys of life which have been taken away from us due to coronavirus.
    © Instagram/Colors TV
    Sharing the news on their official Instagram account, ColorsTV shared images of all the spots and might we say it looks highly promising. To be able to include the highlights of a city into the confines of a residential quarters, we must say this ‘house’ should be renamed into a Bigg Boss city this season. What say?

    Selecting a hairstyle, visiting your local barber, instructing him on how to give you a particular hairstyle, inspecting his work and adjusting a few snips here and there in order to get a good haircut can be a task. 
    © Twitter/SAKFans
    Naturally, not all men actually like investing the time and money that a good hairstyle requires.
    © iStock
    Then there is the entire fiasco that maintaining such a hairstyle becomes. 

    Wouldn’t it be just better if we could cut our hair at our homes and still look dapper AF? Isn’t this what the lockdown and the pandemic have taught us?
    © iStock
    Therefore, we thought of a few basic, but stylish hairstyles that men can get on their own. Even if you choose to get these done at your local barber, these hairstyles take the least amount of time, and effort to maintain.

    1. Clean Shaven © AFP
    First & foremost, is the clean-shaven look or going completely bald. This is definitely something that you can try at home. 

    As far as maintenance is concerned, well, there isn’t any. All you need to do is shave off your head once every two or three weeks, and oil your head every two or three days, that’s it.
    2. A Regular Buzz Cut © Reuters
    If you want to keep some hair, and not go completely bald, how about a basic buzz cut? If you have a trimmer, you can get this done on your own, at your home. 

    As far as maintenance is concerned, again, all you need to is simply oil your hair once a week. 
    3. Slick-Back Hair © Twitter/KLRahulFanClub
    If you are someone who wants to keep his hair long, try to go for the slick-back. You simply wet your hair and tightly comb it backwards. This is perfect if you have somewhat longish hair, which does not yet go below your ears. 

    You’ll need to invest in a good hair wax, and apply it almost daily, but that’s about it, as far as maintenance is concerned. Also, ensure that you visit your barber every 3-4 months to get a basic trimming when the hair starts getting a little unruly.
    4. Man Bun © Viral Bhayani
    If you have started loving your long hair that you must have grown during the lockdown, we seriously suggest you to consider going for a man bun. There are a ton of options to choose from. 

    As for maintenance, all you need to do is a basic oil massage, coupled with regular shampooing. Oh yes, and comb your hair regularly, to keep it untangled.
    5. Shaggy Curls © Reddit/r/indiehairstyles
    This one is particularly good if you have long and curly hair. Just let your hair grow out and keep it untangled. Do keep in mind that you’ll have to shampoo and massage your hair once every week. That’s all the maintenance that it needs.

    6. The Dark Fade Crew Cut © Instagram/vickykaushal09
    If Vicky Kaushal can get a low maintenance and easy-to-create hairstyle at home, so can you. 

    Simply trim off the sides and some from the back using a trimmer, and keep your hair longer at the top. Oil and shampoo as you would and you’re good to go.

    It has been eight years since The Dark Knight Rises - the final chapter of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy - was released, bringing one of the finest superhero series to an end with audiences begging for more.
    And even though Marvel Studios have taken over the genre ever since, no trilogy gets even close to what Nolan and Christian Bale created between 2005 and 2012 (Captain America trilogy is a distant second, though).
    We have talked about some of the films’ major points like great villains, cinematography and script-writing that made them so phenomenal, in the past. But rewatching the masterpieces brings out a lot of tiny and interesting details even today.
    Here are five things Christopher Nolan did in the Batman Trilogy that prove his obsession with attention to detail: 
    1. Harvey Dent Entering Maroni’s Car © Warner Bros
    Let’s start with one of the most mind-boggling ‘attention to detail’ tasks Nolan did while shooting the second installment of the series, The Dark Knight. In the scene, Harvey ‘Two Face’ Dent plans to kill Gotham’s mob boss Sal Maroni inside his car.
    © Warner Bros
    © Warner Bros
    Instead of showing Dent unrealistically waiting for Falcone inside his own car, Nolan manages to show Dent knock out one of Maroni’s thugs at the extreme left corner of the screen for less than a second and then Harvey can be seen entering the car in the rear-view mirror.
    Check out the complete scene here:

    2. Sharp Glass Joker Used In The Police Station © Warner Bros
    Ever wondered how the Joker managed to get hold of a glass shard, point it at one of the police officers’ neck and get his phone call which led to the death of Rachel Dawes? 
    Nolan ensured that the scene maintained continuity and he did so by showing Batman lose his cool and slam the Joker against the glass window with sharp pieces of glass falling right next to him.
    Check out the scene here: 

    3. Bane Mirrors Batman’s Fighting Style
    When Batman fights Bane for the first time, he’s absolutely dominated and literally gets his back broken too. Surprised by how Bane knows all his tricks and could read his next move, Bruce starts throwing his punches wildly. During the fight, Bane says: “You fight like a younger man, with nothing held back. Admirable but mistaken.”

    Later in the film when Batman returns to Gotham and breaks Bane’s mask during a fist fight, a surprised and desperate Bane fights the same way, trying to knock out his enemy with one punch, smashing the pillar that came in his way and Batman finally gets the upper hand.
    4. Bruce Wayne’s Scar On Left Hand
    After getting the better of Scarecrow in the first scene of The Dark Knight, Bruce returns to his batcave where Alfred stitches a wound he incurred on his left upper arm due to a “big dog” bite.

    To maintain continuity in the next film, Nolan ensures that the scar still shows in the next movie when Bruce is wearing a black half-sleeve T-shirt.
    6. Joker Keeps The Gun’s Hammer Locked © Warner Bros
    The hospital scene in which Joker brainwashes Harvey Dent to become Two-Face, at one point, Joker dares Harvey to choose whether he lives or dies. He asks Harvey to flip the coin and shoot him in the head if “chance” isn’t in his favour.
    © Warner Bros
    The Joker puts Harvey’s hands on the trigger of the gun and places the barrel on his own forehead. What Harvey as well as the audience failed to see is that the Joker keeps the hammer of the gun pulled which would make it impossible for Dent to press the trigger even if he wanted to.

    Last night, Anushka Sharma started to trend on Twitter after legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar made an unsavoury comment involving her. In yesterday's match, Virat Kohli had a horrible day, at Royal Challengers Bangalore’s clash against Kings XI Punjab. The poor performance from Virat Kohli already created a stir on social media and it was Sunil Gavaskar’s distasteful comment that added to it. The former skipper remarked, "Lockdown mein to bas Anushka ki gendon ki practice ki (Virat Kohli has only trained against Anushka’s balls during the lockdown).” 
    Gavaskar said nothing wrong here.

    Who's the person who twisted his words and tweeted first? pic.twitter.com/GUwKESCGeX
    — Abhijeet Dipke (@abhijeet_dipke) September 25, 2020
    Probably Sunil didn’t have any bad intentions or didn’t have any double meaning to it as people claimed but dragging Anushka in the commentary box wasn’t something that should be appreciated.   

     Anushka took a stand for herself and gave it back to Sunil Gavaskar for his distasteful comment. She shared a story and wrote, 
    “That Mr. Gavaskar, your message is distasteful is a fact but I would love for you to explain why you thought of making such a sweeping statement on a wife accusing her of her husband’s game? I’m sure over the years you have respected the private lives of every cricketer while commenting on the game. Don’t you think you should have an equal amount of respect for me and us?”Read the full message here:

    Last night was horrible for Anushka as she was getting trolled but the morning got better as people started to support her and asked valid questions from the trolls who are always attacking her.

    — Nayantara Ghosh (@AuthorNayantara) September 25, 2020That's the way to do it...Well done Anushka for what you've asked...it was really nonsense to talk like that..you yourself is a self made person, not living on your husband's expences,and even if you do,no one has rights to drag down someone's family.#AnushkaSharma #Gavaskar pic.twitter.com/0zBaV70YaB
    — Saurabh Tripathi (@BeingShubh55555) September 25, 2020Isme Anushka kaha se Aaye.......Baki Players Performance achha Nahi Raha toh Unki wife target Nahi Hoti lekin Kohli ke 7 aisa kyun Jeet haar Common hai ..Samje toh achha hai #AnushkaSharma
    — KhanFrz7 (@Frz7Khan) September 25, 2020The real problem here that we need to address is that Sunil shouldn't have brought her name as he very well has an idea about how Anushka has been on the receiving end and yesterday was no different.   
    With Virat last night, Anushka also started to trend and we were appalled to see how people were trolling her once again and even made memes on the baby who’s yet to step in this harsh world full of faceless trolls and judgmental remarks. We were disgusted about how sexism still prevails in the country and this is not the first time that people have trolled Anushka for Virat’s bad performance. How can she be held accountable for him losing the grip on field?
    Back in 2018, Anushka was held responsible for the poor show by RCB in IPL. It went to an extent of fans asking her to miss the remaining matches. A section of people asked Kohli to part ways with her by commenting that her presence in the stadium brings bad luck to the team. When Virat Kohli led Indian cricket team lost the World Cup semifinals in 2019 against New Zealand, the netizens were quick to shame her on Twitter.
    Sharing an example of one crass tweet:
    हार के लिए अकेले हमारे #मरद कि गलती नही है
    पुरी टीम जिम्मेदार है #अनुष्का_भाभी@AnushkaSharma pic.twitter.com/MmUmo9WEUA
    — BAD__BOY__ATIF (@BAD__BOY__ATIF) July 10, 2019
    A woman who Virat always credited for his positive change was considered to be a bad omen. In his interviews, Virat has always mentioned that Anushka was the one who brought discipline in him and she taught him how to handle his success the right way. The cricketer claimed he was 'not the most understanding or balanced person' before meeting her, but she inspired him to be a 'better human being.' These are his statements about her.
    But, people thinking that she is the bad omen prove how deep-rooted sexism is in our system.
    What do you have to say about this? Let us know in the comments.

    The pandemic this year highlighted the disparity among people even more. 
    While in the beginning, with complete lockdown, a lot of people were mildly inconvenienced after being forced to work from their comfortable homes, the number of people who were left stranded with no jobs, no accommodation, no way to survive was much much higher.

    Now, with everything opening up, people were finally able to go back to work and earn money to survive but then again, are getting criticized for using public transportations as there's no social distancing being followed.

    A video from yesterday showed the crowded Borivali station in Mumbai where there were people piled on top of another in order to board the train. At first glance, a lot of people just shook their heads and commented about how we'll never get rid of COVID-19 if people behaved like this.

    But honestly, that statement in itself reeks of privilege. 

    Of course, everyone who has the luxury to work from home with all the comforts available to them would be that preachy. 
    © Reuters
    But what a lot of people fail to realize is that everyone travelling by the local train doesn't have any other option. I'm pretty sure they would not choose to risk their lives by being stuck to strangers in a public place, but how else are they going to get to work? 

    No wonder the virus loves Bombay and Bombay loves the virus
    — Radhika Ramaseshan (@Radrama) September 24, 2020
    Cabs are expensive as hell for everyday travel and not everyone can afford personal cars to ensure social distancing. 
    It could be helpful if the people in charge could focus on this urgent matter and find a way to follow some kind of social distancing and if the employers would be more relaxed with the in and out timings so employees can at least get on the train when it isn't that crowded. 
    Corona has no space to enter ...
    — Dinesh Trivedi (@DinTri) September 24, 2020
    The problem here is not with the people on the train, it's with the people sitting at home criticizing these people without even considering their predicaments. It's a request to such people to get off their high horse and actually demand a real change from the government if they care that much. 
    It's honestly sad that people have to pick between COVID and starvation. 
    Me too travel from mumbai local train... No choice.... Salary to chahiye... Paapi pet ka sawal h....

    Obviously we have failed. There's no doubt about that. We fucked this up. Imagine having to step out for your daily bread at the risk of your life

    How quickly do they forget that Virat Kohli, the captain of the Indian cricket team and one of the greatest cricketers of our generation, is also known to be a phenomenal fielder, who has put on display some magnificent catches to stun the opponents and the fans in an instant!
    Yes, he dropped two significant catches of KL Rahul and might as well have cost Royal Challengers Bangalore the victory against Kings XI Punjab on Thursday and yes, his one-run innings did not help his side’s winning efforts. It was one bad day at work and it does not give the people the right to target his wife and unborn child like that.
    Here are five of Virat Kohli’s greatest fielding efforts to prove one bad day at work can’t define the man:
    Faster Than The CameramanM17: RCB vs RPS – VIVO perfect catch of the match – Virat Kohli https://t.co/bzE0qvTXxs via @ipl
    — Aditya Pandey (@adityapandey148) September 25, 2020
    During IPL 2017, RCB were bowling against Rising Pune Supergiants and in the second delivery of the ninth over, RPS opener Rahul Tripathi tried slamming the ball towards long-off. He hit the ball so hard that it rocketed past the cameraman’s frame.
    Little did Tripathi realise that Kohli, standing between cover and mid-off, was ready for the challenge. Before the cameraman could trace back to the ball, it was already in the hands of the RCB skipper who simply got up after a phenomenal catch and went to his teammates to celebrate. Even the shocked batsman couldn’t help but smile.
    Bullet Throw - Bye Bye Munro
    In his career, Kohli has had some excellent direct hits to dismiss the opposing batsmen but this throw to trap New Zealand’s opening batsman Colin Munro is simply exceptional.
    Munro sweeped and ran for a couple when some excellent synergy between fielder Shardul Thakur and Kohli clicked. Thakur relayed the ball to his captain who aimed for the stumps on the non-striker’s end and BAM, the bails flew off with Munro falling short by a couple of inches.
    Superman Run Out - Henry NichollsIncredible Kohli dive runs out Nicholls https://t.co/IUT6PoAXJW
    — Aditya Pandey (@adityapandey148) September 25, 2020
    During the same series as the one in which he got Colin Munro, Kohli put his fielding prowess on display once again when he took Henry Nicholls by surprise and ran him out on a diving direct hit.
    Ross Taylor nudged the ball in the hopes of sneaking a quick single but Kohli went after it without thinking twice. He was in the air as soon as he got the ball, leaping towards the wicket on the striker’s end and before Nicholls knew, he was walking back towards the pavilion.
    Controversial Yet Phenomenal Dismissal Of Eklavya DwivediM57: GL vs RCB – Freecharge Bolt Moment – Virat Kohli https://t.co/JVDUZDq50N via @ipl
    — Aditya Pandey (@adityapandey148) September 25, 2020
    In IPL 2016, Shane Watson was playing for RCB and bowled to Gujarat Lions batsman Eklavya Dwivedi who tried to go big with a shot over mid wicket but failed to connect properly. Kohli, running in all the way from the boundary line at deep forward, lunged forward and managed to keep the ball in his hands despite rolling over and even losing it for a split second as well.
    Unsure of whether or not it was a legitimate catch, Umpire Kumar Dharmasena went to the third umpire for replays and upon multiple viewings, it was confirmed that Kohli had got it. Proving his point yet again, Kohli tipped his hat in sarcasm and went about doing his business again.
    Brings The Clamps Down On Handscomb
    During the 2018 Test between India and Australia in Perth, the hosts were at 145/3 at Tea and India needed to strike soon. Veteran pacer Ishant Sharma’s short ball that Peter Handscomb didn’t expect. The delivery caught the Aussie high on the bat and was destined to race towards third man for a boundary.
    However, Kohli, standing on slip (worst nightmare of every batsman playing on the other side) timed his jump to the T and raised his right hand to clamp the ball out of thin air and gave his side a commanding lead in the red-ball game.
