Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan starrer Love Aajkal might not have been able to recreate the magic of its 2009 original version, starring Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone in the lead roles, but the actress who plays Kartikâs love interest from the 90âs, Arushi Sharma surely is getting all the right kind of attention from the release.

We were naturally intrigued as well so we decided to do a little homework on her. Turns out, Love Aajkal is not her first Imtiaz Ali movie. Being noticed and cast in an Imtiaz Ali film is like being touched by Midas and Arushi ended up impressing the brilliant director who previously cast her in a âblink and missâ performance for Tamasha. In fact it was right after she shot for this micro cameo that she shared her interest for acting with him and he obviously kept her in mind while casting for this one.

Anushka Sharma opens up on her life philosophy and mantra

Anushka Sharma revealed some of her recent life plans, goals and emphasized upon the meaning of her life -
Indian cricket has witnessed numerous batsmen who have managed to capture the imagination of cricket fans over the years. But, in modern-day cricket, no one even comes close to the might and popularity of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who continue to help India pull off miracles on the field. While Kohli has carved his niche as one of the most consistent run-scorers in international cricket, Rohit has earned plaudits for his knack of scoring big runs in dire situations. The Indian duo was at their prolific best, hammering opposition bowlers all around the park, during their team's dominating home season last year. And, it appears that there is no stopping these two this year either. © Reuters During his innings that came at a strike rate of over 140, Kohli became India's leading run-getter in the shortest version of the game. The right-handed batsman was 25 runs away from the milestone before the start of the third game. As he completed his 25th run, Kohli surpassed his predecessor MS Dhoni's tally of 1,112 runs to achieve the feat. When it comes to the overall list, Kohli now finds himself at the third spot with a tally of 1,125 runs as captain. He is only behind South Africa's Faf du Plessis (1,273 runs) and New Zealand captain Kane Williamson (1,148 runs) who currently occupy the second and first spot in the coveted list. © Twitter/@BCCI On the day, when Kohli etched his name in the history books for a milestone that will take some doing, Rohit impressed everyone by stepping up at a time when India needed it the most. While he might not be as consistent as one would like, there is no denying the batting talent this incredible right-hander brings to the table. View the full article

The three-match ODI series between India and the visiting Australian team came to an end in favour of the hosts on Sunday after the experienced Indian batsmen paved way for the younger, more energetic players to chase down the total in style. Two of the best batsmen in the world, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli played their natural games - Sharma with his fireworks, capitalising on every opportunity to hit boundaries, and Kohli keeping in pace with the required run rate with quick singles in the early and mid phases of the Indian innings. INDIA WIN A clinical performance by #TeamIndia as they win by 7 wickets and clinch the series 2-1.#INDvAUS pic.twitter.com/LnhgbjdDI8 — BCCI (@BCCI) January 19, 2020 Having said that, there was one man who had the potential to become the bane of success for the Men in Blue during the three 50-over matches between Mumbai, Rajkot and Bengaluru - Adam Zampa. As a 27-year-old, Zampa has already made a name for himself as one of the more successful leg spinners and his reputation preceeded him ahead of the series. Before the first match at Wankhede, the Australian had dismissed Kohli three times in the given format of the game. The Indian batting lineup was taken by surprise with the level bowling produced by the men from Down Under and history repeated itself when Zampa picked the skipper's wicket for the fourth time on January 14. Kohli falls to Zampa once again...for the 4th time in the ODIs. No spinner has dismissed Kohli more than 4 times in the ODIs. The best ball ever bowled to Kohli in the ODIs is also from a leggie. When Adil Rashid cleaned up Kohli. #INDvAUS — slowyorker (@slowyorker1) January 14, 2020 “I just don't think he [Virat Kohli] is showing Zampa enough respect and he paid the price,” former Australian cricketer Steve Waugh had commented after the match. Zampa got the best of the Indian Captain yet again during the Rajkot match. Regardless of the fact that Kohli went on to strike a heroic 78 off 76, the leggie dismissed him for a record fifth time in ODIs eight innings. He also trapped Sharma with an LBW eight runs ahead of his half-century. Virat Kohli dismissed off the bowling of Adam Zampa for the 5th time in his ODI career. Among the bowlers who have played ODIs against Kohli, only Ravi Rampaul has dismissed Virat Kohli more often (6 times). #INDvAUS — Israr Ahmed Hashmi (@IamIsrarHashmi) January 17, 2020 Finally, Zampa picked the most important wicket of the day during the Bengaluru match when he forced Sharma to go for a big shot which led to him getting caught at the boundary by Mitchell Starc. Rohit Sharma skies one off Adam Zampa, falls for 119 India still need 80 off 78https://t.co/ECkYWX3Mmh | #INDvAUS pic.twitter.com/rDJnNZH0Nq — ESPNcricinfo (@ESPNcricinfo) January 19, 2020 While Zampa was responsible for removing the biggest names of the game from the crease in three consecutive matches, it was also evident that they were afraid to take risks against the bowler. Both Sharma and Kohli tried to live through his spell and waited for his six deliveries to get over before they could slam other bowlers for boundaries. But how is it that the spinner was able to create such terror in the hearts of two of the most fierce hitters of the sport? In an interview with ESPNcricinfo, Zampa explained: “I keep saying India is one of the toughest places to tour. I think keep it simple, don't be too hard on yourself. Preparation against these guys is really important. Virat [Kohli] is a really intense player, so body language is really important,” he said. “The conditions here, you see a lot of dew at night time so a couple of preparations with the wet ball is really important. And obviously you prepare differently for different guys,” he continued. “So, someone like Virat, you know he's sweating on bad bowling, he's got his strengths. And then you have guys like Rohit [Sharma], who obviously is a six-hitter, he loves hitting boundaries. You might bowl some good balls to him and he might defend them but you know that he's going to come hard at you, early or at the back-end of your over. So it's definitely individualised preparation. “I think very minor variations; good defensive bowling is important here. I don't think over-attacking as a leg spinner is really beneficial sometimes particularly on smaller grounds. I think your best ball and your best defense as a bowler is really important,” he added.

For a batsman whose cricket career got a second wind after his ascension to the top of the order, Rohit Sharma has undoubtedly come a long way to establish his reputation as one of the most feared openers in international cricket. His effortless batting display continues to aid Team India and, more often than not, has a tendency of capturing the imagination of cricket fans. The right-hander had a brilliant run last year. He set the ICC World Cup on fire by scoring a record five hundreds and finished the 2019 edition of the coveted tournament as its highest run-scorer. He was particularly rampant in ODIs, amassing a staggering 1,490 runs in 28 matches at a brilliant average of 57.30 last year. © Reuters While Indian captain Virat Kohli hogs the limelight for his consistency, Rohit, too, had managed to carve his own niche with the willow. That's probably why Pakistani great Zaheer Abbas loves watching him play on the field. “I don't move from the television screen when he (Rohit) is batting. His batting gives me real satisfaction and watching him play is pure bliss. I admire the way he creates a shot and plays where he wants to. He picks up the ball very early and that is special,” Abbas was quoted as saying by Times Now. Following a brilliant run in 2019, the Mumbai batsman was rested in India's 2-0 win against Sri Lanka in the recently-concluded T20I series. But, the Indian opener was back in action, being on the verge of shattering numerous records, as India locked horns with Australia in the three-match ODI series. From being on the verge of becoming the second-fastest batsmen to score 9000 ODI runs to becoming the first Indian to smash 100 international sixes against a single team, Rohit was in running for as many as five records which were expected to be shattered by him going into the 1st ODI between India and Australia at the iconic Wankhede stadium in Mumbai on 14th January. First ball boundary for Rohit Sharma ðð#INDvsAUS pic.twitter.com/Ru6xGgZx7V — Vinesh Prabhu (@vlp1994) January 14, 2020 Opening the innings with Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit looked in ominous touch as he creamed Mitchell Starc's juicy half-volley through covers for a first-ball boundary. The fourth delivery of the first over saw him surviving a run-out scare, but another exquisite boundary through covers on the very next ball had everyone anticipating another batting masterclass from the right-handed batsman. After a few quiet overs, Starc's cross-seam delivery bamboozled Rohit into giving a simple, low catch to David Warner at mid-off. For a batsman whose last three ODI scores against Australia read: 95, 56 and 57, Rohit left the home fans wanting for more following his cheap dismissal. © Twitter/@BCCI While Team India's 'Hitman' was sent back into the hut for a mediocre score of just 10 runs, he still managed to achieve a personal milestone. Despite his early dismissal, Rohit became the fastest batsman to score 1000 runs against Australia at home. He took just 18 innings to achieve the feat, leaving Sachin Tendulkar (19 innings), Kohli (19 innings) and Eoin Morgan (25 innings) in his wake. But, despite his personal feat, Rohit failed to impress the Indian cricket fans who were probably expecting their star player to cut a sorry figure for the Australian bowlers by scoring big.

For someone who once struggled to get going as a middle-order batsman, Rohit Sharma has undeniably come a long way to become one of the most destructive openers in limited-overs cricket. His impeccable stroke play and lazy elegance has often cut sorry figures for some of the best bowling attacks in international cricket. Whether it's about posting mammoth totals or chasing big targets, the Mumbai batsman has, time and again, stepped up to aid the Indian cricket team in dire situations. Known to amass runs at will, it seems that Rohit can do no wrong this year where he has appeared to be in a class of his own. The right-handed batsman recently became the leading run-scorer in One-Day Internationals (ODIs) this year after slamming his 28th hundred during India's 107-run win over West Indies at Visakhapatnam. If his artistry with the willow has earned him plaudits, Rohit's exploits off the field also seem to have struck a chord with cricket fans. View this post on Instagram Many many happy returns my love, strength and game changer. Samaira and I are proud to have such a leading light in our lives â¤ï¸ð¥°ð @ritssajdeh A post shared by Rohit Sharma (@rohitsharma45) on Dec 20, 2019 at 11:05am PST After playing a key role in India's comeback in the three-match ODI series, Rohit took to Instagram and penned an adorable message for wife Ritika Sajdeh who is celebrating her birthday on 21st December. Sharing a series of photographs, Rohit wrote: "Many many happy returns my love, strength and game changer. Samaira and I are proud to have such a leading light in our lives". Rohit and Ritika got married on 13th December, 2015. The couple was blessed with their first child, a baby girl, named Samaira last year. The two have been going strong ever since and Rohit clearly missed his wife's presence as he is gearing up for the third and final ODI against West Indies in Cuttack on 22nd December. © Reuters Rohit Sharma has been in sensational form in 2019. Earlier in the year, he became the first batsman to hit five hundreds in a single edition of the World Cup and finished the tournament as the highest run-scorer. He made a cracking start to the year with a stylish 133 against Australia in Sydney on 12th January even as India lost the first of a 3-match ODI series. He was also among the runs in a historic series win over New Zealand before hitting back-to-back half-centuries against Australia at home. In the World Cup, Rohit hit an unbeaten 122 against South Africa to help India start with a win. After a 57 against Australia in the next game, he made 140 versus Pakistan in a high-voltage game at Manchester. And then came three successive hundreds against England, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka before a rare failure against New Zealand in the semi-final which India lost. After poor returns in the West Indies after the World Cup, Rohit Sharma returned to form with a swashbuckling century - incidentally, his first at home in 2019. Rohit, who joined an elite list of Indian batsmen after crossing 11,000 List A runs during his innings, is now also the leading run-scorer in ODIs this year. View the full article

Arguably one of the most destructive openers in international cricket, Rohit Sharma has the ability to put some of the best bowlers in the sport to shame. His wide array of strokes often sees him cutting a sorry figure for the opposition bowling unit while giving Team India a flying start at the top. His artistry with the willow was recently in full display as India coasted to a 67-run triumph over West Indies in the 3rd Twenty20 International (T20I) at the Wankhede stadium. The right-hander slammed a breathtaking 34-ball 71 including six fours and five sixes to help India post an imposing total of 240 runs. Here he is...𤩠The new #LaLiga Brand Ambassador in India, Rohit Sharma! ð®ð³ðâ½â¨ Welcome, @ImRo45! ð¤ð pic.twitter.com/ecMsRb9rzS — LaLiga (@LaLigaEN) December 12, 2019 Following his blitzkrieg, which allowed India to secure a 2-1 series win, Rohit, once again, thronged social media after he was appointed by La Liga as their brand ambassador from India. The Mumbai cricketer has become the first individual from the country to be appointed as the ambassador of the popular Spanish football league. Hola India/España, as you guys know, football has always held a special place in my heart so this association is so special to me. And to be named the ambassador for the La Liga is so humbling. So excited for this partnership @LaLigaEN pic.twitter.com/prZFFSeHdV — Rohit Sharma (@ImRo45) December 12, 2019 An ardent Real Madrid fan, the 'Hitman' revealed that football has always held a special place in his heart and he feels special by La Liga's gesture to appoint him as their brand ambassador. "Hola India/España, as you guys know, football has always held a special place in my heart so this association is so special to me. And to be named the ambassador for the La Liga is so humbling. So excited for this partnership @LaLigaEN," he wrote on Twitter. During the La Liga event in Mumbai, Rohit was asked to reveal the best footballer in the Indian cricket team. "I think MS Dhoni is the best footballer in our team," Rohit was quoted saying by India Today. The opening batsman also revealed that he prefers playing in a midfield role in warm-up football matches between Indian players. © Twitter "The captain decides who plays where. I love playing as a midfielder during warm-up matches because that's the most challenging spot. Football is played as a warm-up because it brings us together as a team makes our body active," Rohit added. Those who know Dhoni or perhaps have seen his biopic would know that football is nothing new to the former Indian captain. For someone who had started out as a goalkeeper in his school football team, Dhoni was turned into a wicket-keeper by his childhood coach after their cricket team's main keeper had pulled out due to exams.

It has been around five months since India was knocked out of ICC World Cup 2019 semi-finals, thanks to a brilliant team-performance by Kane Williamson and his men. The Men in Blue were the leading prospects to win the 2019 edition of the quadrennial tournament but faced a huge disappointment when their elite batting-order failed to show up in a clutch situation and faced defeat. Hard luck team india .. played a very spirited game through the tournament ðð½ðð½ the wicket of Dhoni and his walk back just broke my heart #INDvsNZ proud nonetheless ðªð½ pic.twitter.com/iGCPhIhLEU — Randeep Hooda (@RandeepHooda) July 10, 2019 And while that loss should have been the takeaway for every Indian that was a part of the team's journey during the contest, news of Bollywood actor and Virat Kohli's wife Anushka Sharma being at the venue is what continues to be the talking point ever since. In October 2019, former Indian wicket-keeper Farokh Engineer spoke about how the BCCI selectors behaved like a “Mickey Mouse” committee and recalled that he'd seen one of the selectors bring tea for Anushka Sharma in the VIP box. “All they (selectors) were doing was getting Anushka Sharma cups of tea. I feel people with the stature of Dilip Vengsarkar should be in the selection committee,” Engineer was quoted as saying by the Times of India. Sharma, who's never been the one to react to such comments made an exception this time and called out Engineer on his comments in an Instagram post the next day. View this post on Instagram A post shared by AnushkaSharma1588 (@anushkasharma) on Oct 31, 2019 at 5:15am PDT After this post, Engineer was slammed for making false accusations against the famed actor and was made a huge ruckus out of. To further save face amidst the fans of Indian cricket, the former cricketer had to make an official statement on live television and clarify that he said all those things in the heat of the moment. MIRROR NOW EXCLUSIVE | Former Cricketer Farokh Engineer clarifies his controversial comment on Actor Anushka Sharma, says, comments are blown out of proportion and I apologise to Anushka Sharma@VirenFerrao pic.twitter.com/zULYPDvRZb — Mirror Now (@MirrorNow) November 1, 2019 Now, Exactly one month since Engineer's clarification, the Indian captain, Virat Kohli has opened up about those comments in an interview with India Today. "She came for one World Cup game against Sri Lanka and the family box and the selector box was different, and there was no selector in that box. She came for one game with two friends," Kohli said during the interview. "As I said, she is known, she's been successful at a very high level so when people take her name, it gets noticed," the India captain added. In the era of social media, the line between personal and private lives of celebrities is getting more and more blurry with each passing day and such comments made by the veterans of the game do not make it easier for people like Anushka Sharma to maintain their calm. Kohli, on the other hand, has been exceptional in keeping it together. He has not only managed to stay at the peak of his skills as a batsman and a captain but has also managed to get some time off the field and spend quality time with his family. “Cricket can't be your life for every minute of every day,” former Australian wicket-keeper batsman Adam Gilchrist had said in an exclusive with MensXp and Kohli, despite being at the centre of the game on an international level has somehow managed to maintain that.

Over the years, the history of Indian cricket has witnessed numerous captains rising through the ranks and leaving a mark on the country's rich cricketing history with their impeccable leadership skills. We've seen Kapil Dev putting India on the international cricket map with a World Cup triumph in 1983. Then, the era of Sourav Ganguly saw India scaling new heights with favourable results overseas. And, who can forget the leadership skills of MS Dhoni who led India to the World T20 title in 2007 and ICC World Cup triumph in 2011. More recently, the Indian cricket team has been thriving under the tutelage of Virat Kohli, undeniably the most aggressive captains of all time. While Kohli has been donning the captain's hat across formats, the Indian team management is also grooming Rohit Sharma as skipper, especially when the Delhi cricketer isn't playing. © Reuters Amongst the country's most prized possessions, Virat and Rohit share a great camaraderie which reflects in their demeanour on the field. But, despite being best of buddies, Virat and Rohit are completely different as captains in their approach towards the game. In recent times, cricket pundits and fans have debated over the differences in their captaincy, but there has never been a definitive answer. Well, not anymore. After playing under Rohit's leadership in the recently-concluded Twenty20 International (T20I) series, opener Shikhar Dhawan spoke about the differences between the captaincy of his opening partner and Kohli. The left-hander, who is also an integral part of Team India's leadership group and is often consulted for the on-field decision, revealed that Rohit is quite different from Kohli as a leader. “They are different characters. In different situations, they make different choices. Whatever they feel right at one particular moment, they go with it. They, of course, discuss with each other. When Rohit is leading, he discusses with me, when Virat is leading he discusses with Rohit and me too,” Dhawan was quoted as saying by HT. © Reuters With Kohli rested, Rohit led India from the front in the recently-concluded T20I series against Bangladesh. Despite trailing 1-0, India, under the leadership of Rohit, made a spirited comeback to eventually win the three-match series 2-1. Following a brilliant win in T20Is, returning Kohli assumed his role as Team India captain when he took the field at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore for the 1st Test against Bangladesh. Apart from weighing in on the captaincy debate between Rohit and Virat, Dhawan also revealed that Team India is currently in the process of building up a strong squad for the much-anticipated ICC World T20 in Australia next year. “We've got one year. Whatever we have to plan we are planning it now and then only we can reach the final combination. I'm confident that this time we'll come back with the cup,” Dhawan said. View the full article

Ahead of the third and final T20I match between India and the visiting Bangladesh team, Rishabh Pant is once again in the news. It was not because of his mess-up during the second game but because of what the stand-in captain, Rohit Sharma said about him during a press conference ahead of the deciding final game. "You know there is a lot of talk happening about Rishabh Pant every day, every minute. I just feel that he needs to be allowed to do what he wants to do on the field. I would request everyone to keep their eyes away from Rishabh Pant for a while,” said the skipper. 'I think it's not fair' India captain Rohit Sharma has asked everyone to give Rishabh Pant a break from the constant scrutinyhttps://t.co/6gKMie6EIt — Cricbuzz (@cricbuzz) November 9, 2019 "He is a fearless cricketer and we (team management) want him to have that freedom. And if you guys take your eyes off him for sometime, it will allow him to perform even better," added Rohit. The team veteran wants the best for the 22-year-old wicket-keeper, however, simply talking about him makes Pant's name come online and gives social media another excuse to “troll” him and this in turn may be making Pant's life more difficult as an international cricketer. The thing about the criticism from fans of the game and the so called “pundits” is that they often compare the young and upcoming athletes to the best and greatest players of all time, while they were in their prime. Pant can never reach near dhoni. He is just wanna be who try to immitate the dhoni style. — Nobie (@newbie_6) November 7, 2019 Unrealistic expectations is the primary outcome of such comparisons which often leads to further criticism if the said athlete fails to do good in the next match. According to a 2008 report by The Sport Journal, it is clarified how adversely can distractions and criticism drain an athlete's mental energy, causing him to get anxious, depressed and lose focus during the crucial moments of a game. Rishabh Pant is a good player. We have seen in the past, the kind of performance the cricketer can put up both in front of, and behind the stumps. Congrats #Babysitter What a lovely Baby's Day Out entertainer 1st Year of Test Cricket@RishabPant777 #RishabhPant #Pant 300+ Runs in 1st DownUnder 25+28+36+30+39+33+ 159* 2nd Highest Run Scorer in Series* 20*: Most Catches in a Series by IN WK 204:Record 7th Wicket Partnership — Save Hindus (@Hindu_League) January 4, 2019 In December 2018, the then 21-year-old broke Syed Kirmani and Naren Tamhane's record of most catches by an Indian wicketkeeper in a Test series (20) against Tim Paine's Australian side in Melbourne. In September 2019, Pant went on to surpass his predecessor, MS Dhoni in dismissing 50 batsmen from behind the wicket in Test cricket in the least amount of time (Dhoni: 15 Tests, Pant: 11 Tests). The southpaw is also the first Indian wicket-keeper to score a century in England and Australia, including his maiden international ton at The Oval and overtaking Farokh Engineer's record of the most number of runs scored by an Indian keeper Down Under. “"He is a young guy, 22, trying to make his mark in international cricket. Every move he makes on the field, people start talking about him. It is not fair. I think we should allow him to play his cricket which actually he also wants to do," Sharma during the conference. Maybe it's for the best that the skipper says nothing when it comes to Rishabh Pant. After all, no comments make no news. View the full article

Following a tame loss in the first match, the Indian cricket team produced a strong batting show to script an emphatic eight-wicket win over the visiting Bangladesh side in the 2nd Twenty20 International (T20I) at the Vidarbha Cricket Association stadium in Rajkot. The impressive spells from Yuzvendra Chahal (2-28), Washington Sundar (1-25) and Deepak Chahar (1-25) ensured the visitors couldn't score more than 153 runs at the loss of six wickets after being asked to bat first. In reply, a captain's knock from Rohit, who slammed a strokeful 43-ball 85, and supporting knocks from Shikhar Dhawan (31) and Shreyas Iyer (24*) powered India home with 26 deliveries to spare. © Twitter/@BCCI While India managed to shrug off their defeat in the first T20I and levelled the proceedings 1-1 in the three-match series, the second match at Rajkot gave the hosts certain moments to regret. The Indian fielders were pretty sloppy on the field, conceding runs through extra throws, and even the Indian captain dropped a catch inside the 30-yard circle. But, apart from that, there were two incidents that couldn't go unnoticed. #RishabhPant messes up !! ð¤¦ð»âï¸ð¤¦ð»âï¸ð¤¦ð»âï¸ pic.twitter.com/3rEVqnNG7Z — Nishant Barai (@barainishant) November 7, 2019 Rishabh Pant's blunder behind the stumps was probably the one that stood out when he made a complete mess of a simple stumping opportunity. The young wicketkeeper failed to keep his gloves behind the stumps before collecting the ball, which eventually denied Chahal and, in turn, Team India Liton Das' certain wicket The other moment was a forgetful one for Indian captain Rohit who struggled to contain his emotions and eventually ended up swearing at the third umpire. The incident occurred in the 13th over when Pant, making amends for his blunder earlier, stumped Soumya Sarkar off Chahal's delivery. Rohit ðð pic.twitter.com/CDKGcJESzJ — Ghatta (@Kattehaiklu) November 7, 2019 The on-field umpires initially ruled the Bangladeshi batsman out before referring it upstairs just to be sure. The replays clearly showed Sarkar short at the crease, but, by mistake, the third umpire ruled the batsman 'not out'. As soon as the decision was flashed on the giant screen, an infuriated Rohit, who was standing next to the on-field umpires, was caught swearing at the third umpire who eventually changed his decision to 'out'. “I'm quite an emotional guy on the field. Some of the decisions in the previous and some of the on-field moments today, we were a bit sloppy. Ultimately the aim is to get the job done, and sometimes we display a lot of emotions. Next time I'll check where the camera is," Rohit said after the match. View the full article

There were a lot of angles with the first of three T20I matches between India and the visiting Bangladesh side could have gone in but by the end of the second innings, it was Rishabh Pant, who became the talk of the town, yet again. Returning to the Indian squad for white ball cricket after being replaced by Wriddhiman Saha during the series against South Africa, the 22-year-old cricketer would have expected that the highly critical and ruthless fans of the Indian cricket team would go easy on him but it is safe to assume that he was wrong. Ever since India's batting in the first innings, fans were calling Pant out for giving away his wicket to his opponents on a “reckless” shot once again. #INDvBAN #rishabhpant I think many knew how it ends for pant.Another reckless shot. Rishab panð¡ð¡ð¡ð¡ð¡ð¡ð¡ð¡ð¡ð¡ð¡ pic.twitter.com/iNNE8LW67z — Indian2233 (@Indian2233) November 3, 2019 While in the past the southpaw has had a record of playing the wrong shots at the wrong time but to be honest, this time it wasn't as reckless as it was made to sound. In fact, a couple of overs earlier, it was Shreyas Iyer who was dismissed while playing a similar shot and getting caught between the deep extra cover and long off. However, the worst was yet to come for the wicket-keeper batsman who was behind the stumps in the second innings and made the mistake of saying “laga, laga, laga”, while saying that he thought he heard the ball edge the bat before he caught it to dismiss the established batsman Soumya Sarkar in the 10th over. The conviction with which Pant made the appeal wasn't enough for the umpire to raise his finger but it did convince the interim skipper, Rohit Sharma to take the solitary review and go to the third umpire. As the reviewed showed that there was absolutely no contact between the bat and the ball and got wasted, Sharma managed to keep his cool and just smiled at his young keeper.

Surely enough, the “supporters” of the Men in Blue decided to roast Rishabh Pant, this time however by shifting the blame on Sharma for trusting him with the Decision Review System. Today, Pant was everywhere.

As the Indian cricket team look to take on the visiting Bangladesh side for the first of three T20I matches at the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium in Delhi, one youngster named Keshav Dabas has taken the fans of Indian cricket by storm. He is not a part of the national squad and he doesn't play Ranji cricket. Even then, the 19-year-old has managed to attract national-level media attention, thanks to one nets session with the leading members of the Men in Blue and showing his talents as a bowler. Credit: Twitter A day ahead of the first T20I, the Indian batting lineup saw Keshav bowl some brilliant deliveries in the nets for them to get acclimated to the testing atmosphere of the national capital. What made the teenager stand out was a good length delivery to go with some added bounce which clipped the outside edge of Indian opener Rohit Sharma's bat. There was a little bit of excitement shown by Dabas after what would have been a proper dismissal had they been playing an official match. He raised his hands in the air in celebration before the interim captain threw the ball back to him to continue his practice session. It was when Dabas got the second opener Shikhar Dhawan's stumps to come off the ground that the bowler did not show a single sign of exhilaration. He picked up the ball, got back to the starting spot of his run-up and bowled again. Credit: Twitter While the elite batsmen were stunned by the youngster's deliveries, it was the seamers of the Indian camp who truly appreciated Keshav's bowling prowess. “No, I did not hear the praise from Ravi Shastri sir but yes Shardul Thakur did ask me about my whereabouts,” Keshav told Hindustan Times. Currently a member of the Surinder Khanna Cricket Academy, Keshav Dabas has played for Delhi U-19 in one match and has been an official net bowler for more than one International series, including Australia's tour of Indina in March this year.

A stylish batsman and an acrobatic wicketkeeper, Farokh Engineer was undeniably one of the best of his kind in the playing days. But, more than his batting, it was Engineer's sharp wicketkeeping skills - a necessity to aid the legendary spin quartet of Bishan Singh Bedi, ErapalliPrasanna, BS Chandrasekhar and Srinivas Venkataraghavan - that brought him laurels. He called time on his international career after representing India in 46 Tests and five One-Day Internationals (ODIs). But, long after his retirement, Engineer, who eventually made England his home, continues to give his brutally honest opinion on Indian cricket and its set-up. Not one to shy away from speaking his mind, Engineer recently lashed out at the Indian selectors for their failure to fix the impending No. 4 issue which played its part in Virat Kohli & Co's ouster from the ICC World Cup in England & Wales earlier this year. The 81-year-old had claimed that the Indian selectors were busy serving 'tea' to captain Kohli's wife Anushka Sharma in the stands, rather than doing their job. © Reuters “We have got a Mickey Mouse selection committee. Virat Kohli has a major impact (in the process) which is very good. But how are the selectors qualified? Between them, have they played about 10-12 Test matches. I didn't even know one of the selectors during the World Cup and I asked him 'who the hell he was' because he was wearing the India blazer and he said he was one of the selectors. All they were doing was getting Anushka Sharma (Kohli's wife) cups of tea. I feel people with the stature of Dilip Vengsarkar should be in the selection committee,” Engineer was quoted as saying by TOI. In response, Anushka took to Instagram and wrote: "The latest version of these ill intended lies is that I was being served tea by selectors during the World Cup! I came to one game during the World Cup and sat in the family box and not the selectors box as reported but when has the truth mattered when it's about convenience! If you have a comment on the selection committee and their qualifications please do so as it's your opinion but do not drag me into it to substantiate your claim or sensationalise your opinion. I refuse to allow anyone from using my name in such conversations". View this post on Instagram A post shared by AnushkaSharma1588 (@anushkasharma) on Oct 31, 2019 at 5:15am PDT The Bollywood actress also issued a clarification on the controversy her picture with the Indian team at the High Commission of India in London. "I was asked to stand in a group photo by the High Commissioner's wife despite my hesitation to be in it, and a huge issue was created over this blaming me for intentionally wanting to be part of it and the said event, even though I was invited for it. An official clarification was issued by the board on the same and I still kept quiet," she wrote. As soon as she penned the Instagram post, a lot of Indian fans slammed Engineer for his allegations. And, considering the gravity of the situation, Engineer clarified that his comment was made in jest and he never intended to demean Kohli's wife. MIRROR NOW EXCLUSIVE | Former Cricketer Farokh Engineer clarifies his controversial comment on Actor Anushka Sharma, says, comments are blown out of proportion and I apologise to Anushka Sharma@VirenFerraopic.twitter.com/zULYPDvRZb — Mirror Now (@MirrorNow) November 1, 2019 "I just said it in a jest and it's being made a mountain out of a molehill. Poor Anushka has been dragged into it, she is a lovely girl. Virat Kohli is a brilliant captain and coach Ravi Shastri is extremely good. The entire matter is being blown up unnecessarily. It turned out to be a selector as he was wearing an all India blazer," Engineer told Mirror Now. Though the former Indian glovesman has clarified his comments related to Anushka, Engineer's earlier comments still seem uncalled for, not only for Kohli's better-half, but also for the Indian selection committee, including chief selector MSK Prasad, who has been tasked with the responsibility of selecting a best-possible side for international games.

The former Indian wicket keeper, Farokh Engineer, doesn't believe in mincing words, while claiming his disappointment for the Team India selectors and the 'major impact' Virat Kohli has on the team. He has gone on to label the committee a 'Mickey Mouse' committee and of course, questioned their credentials on holding an important job. © BCCL While expressing his disgruntled state of being over the selection committee he also remembered a time from the 2019 World Cup where the sight of an Indian selector serving tea to Kohli's wife, Anushka Sharma in the VIP box left him feeling absolutely disgusted. He also went on to say that only experienced crickets should be in the selection committee rather than the current panel of selectors, who're inexperienced to say the least. After the said claim was made, Anushka Sharma, through her Instagram account broke her silence on the numerous accounts she was aggressively blamed for Virat's performance and the tea incident Engineer spoke about in his claim. This is what she had to say: © Instagram © Instagram Maybe it's a little too late but Anushka breaking her silence on how she's always in the centre of attention whenever Virat doesn't perform his best is something that was urgently needed and we're glad she came forward and made her voice heard. Especially on the fact that she drinks coffee and not tea! View the full article

Tipped as favourites to win the ICC World Cup in England & Wales, the Indian cricket team suffered a heart-breaking exit from the tournament after losing the semifinal to New Zealand. For a team that was comprised of match-winners and proven stars, Virat Kohli & Co. couldn't do much against the resilient Kiwis. Their ouster sparked a massive backlash from fans and the Indian selectors, notably chief MSK Prasad was blamed for failing to find the winning squad. The Indian selection committee's inability to fix the much-debated problem of No. 4 batsman, which played a part in the semifinal, further drew criticism from every corner. © Reuters While Team India and the selectors have moved on from their World Cup exit, former Indian wicketkeeper Farokh Engineer is still stuck on it. Lashing out at the Indian selection committee, Engineer labelled the panel as the "Mickey Mouse" committee and questioned their credentials to hold such an important job. Irked by the incompetence of the current Indian selectors, the former Indian cricketer went on to recall a moment from the 2019 World Cup where the sight of an Indian selector serving tea to captain Kohli's wife Anushka Sharma in the VIP box left him feeling disgusted. Highlighting their inexperience, Engineer suggested that experienced players, who have knowledge of Test cricket and international cricket, should be in the selection committee rather than the current panel whose experience is restricted to a mere 10-12 Test matches combined. © Reuters “We have got a Mickey Mouse selection committee. Virat Kohli has a major impact (in the process) which is very good. But how are the selectors qualified? Between them, have they played about 10-12 Test matches. I didn't even know one of the selectors during the World Cup and I asked him 'who the hell he was' because he was wearing the India blazer and he said he was one of the selectors. All they were doing was getting Anushka Sharma (Kohli's wife) cups of tea. I feel people with the stature of Dilip Vengsarkar should be in the selection committee,” Engineer was quoted as saying by TOI. Apart from that, Engineer, who played Ranji Trophy for Mumbai from 1958-59 to 1975-76, also slammed the selectors for mishandling Rishabh Pant. "They shouldn't have dropped him (from the ODI team). They should have picked him ahead of Dinesh Karthik (for the World Cup) for him to get as much experience with MS Dhoni," he said. © Reuters Besides, the former Indian glovesman hailed the appointment of Sourav Ganguly as the new President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) with high hopes from 'Dada'. "He was a dashing player, a captain who took bold decisions and I hope he does the same thing as board president," Engineer said. View the full article

Indian opener Rohit Sharma has now scored at least 50 runs in every match he has played in during the ongoing ICC World Cup 2019. In the match against Sarfaraz Ahmed's Team Pakistan, Sharma did it in only 34 deliveries while giving the Men in Blue the ideal start to one of the most important games marked on their calendar. What a start from Rohit Sharma! He's raced to his fifty! â¡ #CWC19 | #INDvPAK | #TeamIndia pic.twitter.com/Vy7r6cABaV — ICC (@ICC) June 16, 2019 During this feat, Sharma surpassed former Indian skipper and wicket keeping legend, Mahendra Singh Dhoni's record for smashing the most number of sixes in international cricket. While Dhoni has smashed the ball for a total of 355 maximums combining all formats of international cricket, Sharma's first six of the match against Pakistan got him to surpass this achievement of Dhoni's. After forming a brilliant 100-plus run partnership with KL Rahul, the 'Hitman' was able to score his second ton of the ICC World Cup 2019 in less than 90 balls, making this his fastest century among the 24 he has scored in ODIs till date. WHAT AN INNINGS! India opener Rohit Sharma brings up his century off just 85 balls. How many more can he add to his tally from here? #TeamIndia | #CWC19 pic.twitter.com/j1z8OSoCf4 — ICC (@ICC) June 16, 2019 What an innings!

It has been over a decade since Kapil Sharma first set foot in our living rooms with the 'Great Indian Laughter Challenge'. All of a sudden, Kapil began changing how we viewed entertainment, one set at a time. The show might have given India its comedy king, but it was what Kapil did with his talent and popularity that deserves appreciation. After participating and winning multiple comedy shows, Kapil brought 'The Kapil Sharma Show' into existence in 2013. © Twitter People lapped up the content Kapil had to offer and kept coming back for more. The comedy star never failed to strike a chord with his audience and tickle their funny bones, and that earned him an insane fan following throughout the country. Recently, Sony channel took to their Twitter account to announce that Kapil Sharma has been named as one of the most viewed stand-up comedians in India, by World Book of Records London. He was also given this recognition for actively promoting animal rights in India, and fans cannot stop congratulating the man for it. It's a proud moment for all of us. We congratulate the King Of Comedy @kapilsharma for being recognised as one of the most viewed stand-up comedians in India and abroad and promoting animal rights by World Book Of Records. #TheKapilSharmaShow @001danishkhan @KapilSharmaK9 pic.twitter.com/shElmVvqih — Sony TV (@SonyTV) May 17, 2019 After a rough patch in his personal and professional life, that lasted over two years, Kapil Sharma finally made a comeback at the end of 2018 with 'The Kapil Sharma Show' on Sony. The show has been topping all the TRP charts on the channel and the reasons are pretty obvious: 1. India Loves Its Celebs & Masala Celebrity Insights © Twitter Apart from the kind of humour Kapil adds to the show, what makes this show all the more popular and interesting week after week, is the influx of big names from the entertainment industry. We Indians take our celebs very seriously and love anything and everything to do with them. And the good news is, Kapil brings out the best and worst scoop on celebs on his show, and people love that! 2. Senseless Humour © Twitter We say 'senseless' because that is what it is. No one is required to pick their brain cells to laugh at Kapil's jokes. Though it's true that most of the jokes ride on stereotypes and sexism has been a running trope on the show, guess what? When it comes to entertainment, people don't really give a shit. 3. The Concept Remains Golden © Twitter What caught people's attention and love in the very first go was the show's fresh mix of sketch comedy and celebrity talk show format, which then became India's own take on American late-night shows. To this day, it remains Kapil's biggest USP that he manages to pull it all off so well. 4. People Get (Un)Really-Real © Twitter However, the best reason why people have come to love the show and, in turn, Kapil, is because how (un)really-real people get on the show and yet, amidst all the fun and laughter, we end up enjoying that hour of entertainment at the end of a busy day.

Honoured with the name, 'Hitman', Indian cricket team's opener, Rohit Gurunath Sharma is on top of the cricketing world for all the right reasons. Currently donned with the duty to lead the Men in Blue into international series in the absence of Virat Kohli, Sharma is also one of the most decorated batsmen of our nation. But things were not always so rosy and exciting for the now 32-year-old athlete. Coming from humble beginnings, 'Shaana', as Yuvraj Singh likes to call him, was just a kid with a dream a couple of decades ago. His family did not have the silver to make life easier for the righty but the will to see him make it big internationally, could be found in abundance. © Rohit Sharma Hailing from Nagpur, Rohit's father, Gurunath Sharma, used to work as a caretaker of a transport firm storehouse in Mumbai and could only manage to afford a one-room apartment for the entire family to reside in. However, the worst was yet to come. After losing his job at the storehouse, his father found it extremely difficult to provide food and shelter to the little boy and decided to send him away to his grandparents and uncles' place in Borivali at the tender age of 10. Even though they were unable to see their child daily, they made it a point to visit him at least once every week. Appreciating his unshaken passion for the game of cricket, his parents decided to help him make a career in the sport and wanted to get him in a cricket academy by all means necessary. Pooling in Rs. 50 his parents, uncles and their friends collected enough funds to help him get through the academy in 1999. At the time, Sharma used to be a bowling all-rounder with expertise in off-spin but his coach, Dinesh Lad, at the academy advised him to focus more on his talents with the bat. He even managed to provide Rohit with a four-year scholarship at Swami Vivekananda International School, an institution ten-times better than where he used to go before. Switching schools also allowed the young and talented cricketer work harder to reach his goals. © Rohit Sharma As for someone who used to approach the crease as an 8th or 9th down to opening for Lad's team at the Inter-School tournament and scoring a total of 120 runs on his debut had to be special and the rest, as they say, is history. Having his fair share of dips in form, Sharma has had a rollercoaster career before he showed his ability to shine on the brightest of stages in the past few years and it seems as if the 32-year-oldie has built enough faith amongst the BCCI selection committee to make him a “sure thing” for the upcoming ICC World Cup. Sharma, who belongs to the A+ category of pay grade for Team India, was also blessed with a daughter earlier this year and this was probably the best present he could have asked for.

As the twelfth season of the Indian Premier League approaches its conclusion, the need for patience and keeping calm continues to rise. Especially with Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals fixing berths for themselves for the playoff round, only two spots remain and the competition amongst the rest of the franchises is nail-biting. Therefore, the pressure of the 'now-or-never' situation is getting to every member of the teams that have not qualified yet, which often erupts in an outburst when something does not go according to the liking of the athletes. Earlier, well-renowned and respected players of the Indian cricket team were looked down upon and fined for losing their cool over the flow of the game. On one hand, Indian skipper Virat Kohli was criticised for his 'extremely aggressive' reaction after dismissing Kings XI Punjab captain Ravichandran Ashwin last week, on the other hand, former captain of the Men in Blue and often referred to as 'Captain Cool', MS Dhoni was fined 50% of his match fees after coming onto the field from the dugout to argue with the umpires. Yesterday, it was time for the third captain of Team India and the leader of the MIPaltan, Rohit Sharma to join the infamous gang. After getting dismissed for cheap (12 runs off 9 deliveries) on an LBW appeal off English bowler, Harry Gurney, the 'Hitman' was visibly upset with the decision and vented his frustration on the stumps and broke them before leaving the crease. Breaching the conduct, Sharma was slapped with 15% of his match fees for the unprecedented actions and this is how his fans reacted: Rohit Sharma fuming at the umpire and buddy that wicket hitting thing is not expected from the clam batsman. When you're in a under pressure match and the poor umpiring takes the best batsman in your team. IPL umpiring are in a poor poor temper right now. — Subhadeep Paul (@paulbabaraps) April 28, 2019 But it's actually out umpire gave correct decision only Rohit needs to accept his wicket It's not like what happened other day One umpire giving out and other not — Nisha Cutee (@NishaCutee) April 28, 2019 Rohit Sharma trying to Mankad bowler.

Sharma is only the fourth cricketer to lead a franchise for 100 matches after MS Dhoni, Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli.
