Royal experts praised Kate Middleton for continuing Princess Diana's legacy

The highly-anticipated St. Moritz Ice Cricket tournament in Switzerland concluded with the Shahid Afridi-led Royals clinching the two-match series 2-0 against the Virender Sehwag-led Diamonds. After winning the first match, the Royals comfortably chased down the Diamonds' total of 204 runs in 16.4 overs with eight wickets to spare. The unique tournament gave the fans many iconic moments to cherish. If the concept of playing cricket on ice was not interesting enough, the unforgettable moments including Sehwag's blistering fifty in the first game, Jacques Kallis' 90 in the second and even Afridi's touching gesture towards his Indian fans; undoubtedly made the two-day tournament a memorable affair.

Ranveer Singh is an actor who has portrayed many characters in his career, but only a few know how good this lad is with the willow. The man who impressed everyone with his acting skills with his portrayal of Alauddin Khilji in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Padmaavat', left the opposition and his fans shell-shocked after displaying his batting skills in the Ice Cricket tournament. Just like his movies, Ranveer delivered a blockbuster performance at St. Moritz too. The 32-year-old displayed perfect batting strokes while facing opposition bowlers. And, with six runs required off the last ball, he even emulated MS Dhoni by rocking back and hitting a massive six over long-off to win the game. Apart from his batting, Ranveer also enthralled fans with his uncanny commentary in a British accent. An ardent sports fanatic, Ranveer is also the brand ambassador for the English Premier League (EPL) in India and has attended several international sports events around the world. In fact, he will soon be seen playing Indian cricket legend Kapil Dev who led the country to its first-ever World Cup title in 1983.
