Pushpa had a great run at the box office, especially in the Hindi speaking parts of the country. While most of the box office success of Pushpa can be attributed to the fact that there was hardly any good film in theatres at around that time, no one can deny the fact that the movie propelled Allu Arjun to a whole new level of stardom. © Mythri Movie Makers Now though it seems that Pushpa’s reign on the Box Office and the records that it set for post-pandemic box office collections is in danger, thanks to Pawan Kalyan. © Sithara Entertainments The veteran actor of the Telugu film industry has had a couple of dry years, wherein most of his movies managed average collections at best. However, Pawan Kalyan’s most recent venture, Bheemla Nayak opened at the box office with a bang. © Sithara Entertainments The Telugu film, which also stars Rana Daggubati had one of the strongest box office openings in the post-pandemic era. Despite the fact that it opened alongside Alia Bhatt’s Gangubai Kathiawadi, and Ajith Kumar’s Valimai, two of the most anticipated films for years now, Rana & Pawan Kalyan’s Bheemla Nayak did phenomenally well against all these films. © Sithara Entertainments Allu Arjun’s Pushpa: The Rise opened with a rather strong Rs 17 Crores worldwide for its first-day collection. Bheemla Nayak on the other hand opened to Rs 35-37 Crores worldwide. That’s double what Pushpa collected on its first day. © Sithara Entertainments Alia Bhatt’s Gangubai Kathiawadi, on the other hand, managed to garner just over Rs 11 crores on its very first day. © Bhansali Productions Needless to say, Pawan Kalyan, Rana Daggubati, and their fans are having a blast. So much so, that in a number of cities, they actually took out a procession in celebration of the film. Yup. When was the last time that you heard or even read about such a strong reaction, for any film? Bhimavaram @PawanKalyan fans ఎవరికి అందని ఆకాశం ఆయనకి మాత్రం అరుగుగా మారింది #BlockBusterBheemlaNayak #BheemlaNayak pic.twitter.com/m02EOSye1o — Hyper KinG (@HyperKinGG) February 25, 2022 Not just their fans, even the who’s who of the Telugu film industry are appreciating Bheemla Nayak.

Good work @MusicThaman.@vamsi84 pic.twitter.com/8AFvZnbwjP — Gopi Mohan (@Gopimohan) February 25, 2022To give you a better idea of just how massive an opening Bheemla Nayak has had, consider the figures of some of the Telugu Film Industry’s biggest openers in Andhra Pradesh, in recent years. Prabhas’ Baahubali had an opening of Rs 8.91 Crores, which was surpassed by Prabhas’ film again, Saaho, with an opening of Rs 9.41 Crores. Then came Allu Arjun’s Pushpa: The Rise with an opening of Rs 11.44 Crores in Andhra Pradesh. As opposed to all these films, Pawan Kalyan’s Bheemla Nayak, raked in Rs 13.65 Crores.

Rishabh Pant was one of the outstanding players in India's 3-0 whitewash of the Windies, but he was also a joker who poked fun at his captain Rohit Sharma seconds before the last ODI began. While Rohit was in serious mode, the wicketkeeper-batsman took it upon himself to bring a smile to the Hitman's face by doing something amusing. While Rohit Sharma was concentrating on his preparation ahead of the final One-Day International, the middle-order batsman caught him off guard by raising his right leg and trying to kick him. It should be emphasised that the 24-year-old was also training at the time and decided to have some fun. Following that, the two were seen having a conversation, with the child attempting to remain cool and collected while Sharma gave a serious face. he's a kid pic.twitter.com/oQ4AwkZtAO — riya (@reaadubey) February 11, 2022 Unable to hide their joy over the 24-year-old's childish behaviour, loads of fans hopped on Twitter to respond to Pant and his over-excitement. Here’s how some of the people responded to the incident and complimented him on his ability to stay happy and bubbling with energy all the time. +1 pic.twitter.com/Gj0ZGgf4TS — SMITHY Tarak..

In the second game, he was unexpectedly given the opportunity to open the Indian innings, and he scored 18 runs off 34 deliveries. However, he made up for it in the third game, scoring an important 54-ball 56 and sharing a 110-run fourth-wicket partnership with Shreyas Iyer when India was reduced to 42/3 in the tenth over. The pairing was instrumental in the hosts achieving a match-winning total. Returning to the game, middle-order batsman Shreyas Iyer's 80-run knock off 111 deliveries, together with key contributions from bowling all-rounders Shardul Thakur (38) and Washington Sundar (33) enabled India to record a tough total of 265 from their 50 overs. In response, India's bowlers worked in unison, and despite contributions from lower-order batsmen Odean Smith (36) and Alzarri Joseph (29), the visitors were bowled out for 169 in the 38th over, giving India a 96-run victory and a 3-0 ODI series victory. Rishabh Pant scored 85 runs in three games with the aid of a solitary half-century. View the full article

Going to a business school surely helps one in elevating management skills but not everyone needs a degree in finance and marketing to become an entrepreneur. Meet Chennai’s ‘Auto Anna’, an auto rickshaw driver who can give any start-up a stiff competition. Anna Durai has won everyone’s heart; including leaving Anand Mahindra in awe of his customer skills. His auto is equipped with free Wifi, newspapers, magazines, an iPad, refreshments and drinks stocked up in a mini fridge, and even an Amazon Echo to keep his customers fully entertained.

But today, they wait for me,” he said in an interview with Better India. When he is not at work, he is busy preparing for management lectures at business schools, as he is a management guru for students looking for a practical example. View this post on Instagram He is also a TedX speaker and a walking pillar of hardwork cum success, who never shies away from sharing his mantra.

Arranged marriages come with its own perks and perils. While it’s exciting and involves less family drama (free of all that abba nahi manenge), there are certain inhibitions and hesitation that take time. Since you’ve only known your partner for a few months, things can get awkward especially on the wedding night. © Rajshri Productions Do you talk about it or just go for it? How do you know what your partner wants and likes in bed? And, basically how do you break the ice on the wedding night when you’ve only spoken a few times before getting hitched? All these questions haunt your mind but a smart lad said it out loud on social media and also asked for advice from desis who’ve had an arranged marriage. © Yash Raj Films A Reddit user posted, “People whose marriage was arranged, what was it like the night after the wedding?. He further wrote, asking for advice, “How does one prepare oneself for the arranged marriage if one hasn't got to meet his or her partner a lot of times before wedding? and it should be even more awkward when you're a virgin without any sexual experience.” “Is it normal to talk to your partner regarding *** before wedding?” I know most will be tired in their first night after all the photoshoots and traveling and nothing happens much... But what actually happens and who breaks the ice?” he added. © Netflix Desis who have had similar experience with their partner shared stories and advice on how to go about it and what to expect. Here are some of the most wonderful and insightful first-hand experiences from the thread. 1. Maybe, Talk First? It is totally fine to speak all sort of stuff before wedding, *** is integral part of life, u both have to be open to understand each other and what they want, there is no ice breaker or who breaks the ice, just speak to them casually, they will open up. and take your time, dont expect *** the same night. 2. *** Can Wait Don't even think about it on your first night. There's a lifetime ahead. © SLB Films 4. Make Her Comfortable Everything falls into place naturally assuming you take care of the fact that the bride is a human being. *** on the first night should not be a priority. Realise she has left her home and family for you. Give her the appropriate respect...Ps. As for breaking the ice, its probably better for the guy to do so. Share a glass of water? Help her remove all those pin and clips from her hair. Little things go a long way. 2. Protection & Foreplay Are Must The wife is under pressure. This makes it harder for her to get lubricated. It will make things painful for her. And that's not all, it will make things super painful for you too. So if you've got to get it on, make sure you have the right setting, sweet talk and have enough foreplay. Then when she's comfortable move to next level. © Rajshri Productions 5. It’s Not Like It’s Shown In The Movie Like some others have said, it doesn’t go in properly the first time and wish I knew about that, I had a bit of bleeding (on sheets of one of the Taj Hotels, I’m still so embarrassed thinking about it and wished we had placed some sheets of our own). Hope these accounts and advice helped the newly wed couple! View the full article

Every time a super famous number from the 90s is picked up and revamped for a movie today, Bollywood fans automatically get divided on the why and the how. Besides these ‘ renewed’ songs reaching out to millennial audience, people take it for granted that perhaps music director Tanishk Bagchi is behind it, since he’s known to alter every old song and customize it for the new crop. Adding to the list of more hits and misses, the latest song from Akshay Kumar’s Sooryavanshi just dropped, and it stars Katrina Kaif opposite him. It is a new version of the cult 90s hit song Tip Tip Barsa which had a super gorgeous Raveena Tandon in a flowing yellow saree dancing in the rain and a smitten Akki matching the rhythm. While the only common denominator in the song is Akshay Kumar, Katrina’s sensuous moves are beyond hot and it setting the rain on fire. Tip tip sach mey iss baar v paani mey aag laga rhi #SooryavanshiDay #AkshayKumar pic.twitter.com/nKwvAp3K1L — Kamlesh Singh (@kamless23) November 5, 2021Katrina in Tip Tip Barsa pic.twitter.com/kUrQwfOafq — Kiarian Tendu (@HonestBhartendu) November 6, 2021Katrina, Akshay raise the temperature in Tip Tip Barsa song from Sooryavanshi! https://t.co/FiBmFYNvfA — Sure shot academy for UPSC bpsc (@ShotUpsc) November 6, 2021 So while everyone agreed that Katrina totally owned this number because her screen presence is magical, every 90s kid out there could not help but compare this one to the OG. Needless to say, people had a lot of emotions. #Sooryavanshi Raveena Tandon after watching new #TipTipBarsaPani pic.twitter.com/U03guG3pGC — g0v!ñD $#@®mA (@rishu_1809) November 6, 2021Sorry Katrina you are super sizzling but being from the 90's i am biased towards Raveena #TipTipBarsaPani — Samyy (@_Doctor_Doodle_) November 6, 2021Sorry Raveena But Katrina Stole the Show in Tip Tip Barsa Paani#Sooryavanshi — Dhruv (ध्रुव) (@IamDhruv45) November 6, 2021Original tip tip barsa pani is original .It has memory and emotion attached .

I loved Katrina and probably rewatched the video just for her, but won’t lie, I also went back to appreciate and relive the magic create by Raveena Tandon. Some people also observed that probably Akshay Kumar was the luckiest since he didn’t get replaced in this number. Sooryavanshi is currently running in theatres and has garnered mixed reviews.

The dramatic proceedings in the case of the cruise ship rave party in which Aryan Khan was involved, have left social media abuzz with people scouring the internet for more information on the case. Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s 23-year-old son, Arbaz Seth Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha were sent to one-day NCB custody in alleged connection with the seizure of banned drugs onboard a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast. © Instagram_Aryan Khan In his defence, Aryan has hired leading celebrity criminal lawyer Mr Satish Maneshinde to fight his case at the court of law. Currently touted to be one of India’s ‘expensive’ lawyers, Satish Maneshinde has previously fought some high-profile cases and proved his mettle in the law and justice system. Here are 5 major things you must know about the lawyer who has been roped in by Aryan Khan to prove his innocence in the eyes of the law: 1. He Is An Apprentice Of One Of India’s Top Lawyers © BCCL Satish Maneshinde is reportedly a native of Dharwad, who came to Mumbai as a Law graduate fresher. While trying to look for a job way back in 1983, Maneshinde found himself working as a junior lawyer under celebrated criminal lawyer, the late Ram Jethmalani. During the 10 years working as an apprentice to Jethmalani, Maneshinde practised civil and criminal law and handled cases of politicians, actors and other celebrities. 2. He Has Previously Defended Sanjay Dutt © Twitter ptelpriyanka Today, a known criminal lawyer himself, Maneshinde is a rather popular name in the Bollywood celebrity circle. It is reported that Maneshinde was Sanjay Dutt’s defence lawyer in the 1993 Mumbai Blasts case and got him bail. He is also said to have been a part of the legal team that defended Sanjay Dutt when he was charged for possessing illegal weapons and violating the Arms Act in 2007. 3. He Has Also Been Salman Khan’s Go-To Man © Twitter Shashwat_R_A_J Not just Sanjay Dutt, Maneshinde seems to have made a trusted client out of Salman Khan too. Allegedly, it was Maneshinde who had gotten Sallu Bhai bail during the drunk-driving case, where a person was killed. Some reports have also claimed that Maneshinde also represented Khan in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case. 4. He Charges A Hefty Fee © Twitter KanganaOfficial Being a leading advocate in Mumbai and a trusted celebrity counsel, Maneshinde is said to charge a heavy fee from his clients. According to a Bollywood Life report, Mandeshinde charges Rs 10 lakh a day for representations. Well, that’s a lot! But given that he mostly deals with high-class clients, his fee might not be a problem for most. 5. High-Profile Cases Fought By Satish Maneshinde © Youtube-CricketCountry Apart from being appointed as the special public prosecutor in the Palghar lynching case, Maneshinde is known to have handled many high-profile cases. His cases include the controversial Mumbai Police inspector Daya Nayak’s disproportionate assets case, bookie Shoban Mehta’s match-fixing case, Chhota Rajan’s wife Sujata Nikalje’s infamous organised crime case as well as representing Rakhi Sawant in an abetment to suicide case. Let’s see what he has up his sleeve for his new client. View the full article

Indian skipper Virat Kohli is one of those players who always speaks his mind no matter what. He is someone who wears his heart on his sleeve and never shies away from confronting any situation, be it during a game or a press conference. On the eve of the World Test Championship final against New Zealand, Kohli attended a virtual press conference where he answered questions from several journalists and emphasised that the team is not over bogged by this whole occasion and for the players, it’s just like another Test match. © Twitter/BCCI During the media interaction, the 32-year-old batsman politely answered all the questions but one. Kohli was not pleased with one question, in particular, where he was asked about what changes one could expect in the playing XI, and if ensuring the batting depth meant a tussle between Mohammed Siraj and Ishant Sharma. In a rather animated manner, Kohli dismissed the question as ‘irrelevant’, something which “doesn’t make sense at all”. NEWS Here's #TeamIndia's Playing XI for the #WTC21 Final pic.twitter.com/DiOBAzf88h — BCCI (@BCCI) June 17, 2021 "That question has no relevance to batting depth. For me, it doesn't make sense at all. We will announce the team straight after the press conference anyways," Kohli said during the virtual pre-match conference. The WTC final will determine who will be the first-ever world champions in the traditional format of the game and with so much at stake, it is quite rightly being termed as the ‘Ultimate Test’, however, Kohli insists that for him and his players it’s just like another Test match. © Twitter/BCCI “No, for me this is another Test match that has to be played. I think these things are exciting to you from the outside where so much importance is attached to one game that it sort of becomes a do or die,” Kohli replied, when asked if it was the biggest game of his career. “One game over five days. It's not going to reflect anything and those who understand the game know and also what has gone over the period of last four to five years. 🔹 Physical abilities 🔹 Mental abilities 🔹 Concentration 🔹 Teamwork Legends highlight the qualities of Test cricket ahead of the #WTC21 Final between India and New Zealand ️ pic.twitter.com/QhAbizLc9e — ICC (@ICC) June 17, 2021 "If we win, cricket will not stop and if we lose also, cricket won't stop. We are playing in quest of excellence and understand who we are as a team," explained the Indian skipper. No matter what Kohli says, deep down everybody knows that the game could have far-reaching consequences than the players would like us to believe. It could change how kids, who are swayed by glittering T20 leagues around the world, look at Test cricket and even inspire the younger generation to play the red-ball game and give the traditional format the respect it deserves.

Former England batsman Kevin Pietersen recently opened about his appreciation towards India and was amazed by the country’s ‘generosity’ and ‘kindness’ which according to him is growing more and more every day. Indian generosity and kindness grows more and more every single day. The beloved country! 🏽 — Kevin Pietersen🦏 (@KP24) February 2, 2021 “Indian generosity and kindness grows more and more every single day. The beloved country!” he wrote. Pietersen’s pleased tweet comes after External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar confirmed that ‘Made in India’ vaccines were supplied to Johannesburg, South Africa amid another outbreak of a new variant of the coronavirus in the country. Now, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi has responded to the former cricketer’s message. Glad to see your affection towards India. :) We believe that the world is our family and want to play our role in strengthening the fight against COVID-19. https://t.co/zwpB3CNxLG — Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) February 3, 2021 “Glad to see your affection towards India. :) We believe that the world is our family and want to play our role in strengthening the fight against COVID-19,” was tweeted from the official Twitter handle of PM Modi. An icon of international cricket, Pietersen played 104 Tests, 134 ODIs, and 37 T20Is scoring 8181, 4440, and 1176 runs respectively for the England cricket team. PM Modi, or at least his Twitter handle, has been extremely active in regularly communicating with the Indian cricket team and its various members. From wishing Mahendra Singh Dhoni on his retirement on Independence Day last year to congratulating the Men in Blue on the wondrous victory they achieved by defeating Australia at the Gabba to retain the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the use of social media by the PM has been well appreciated by the people of India. We are all overjoyed at the success of the Indian Cricket Team in Australia. Their remarkable energy and passion was visible throughout. So was their stellar intent, remarkable grit and determination. Congratulations to the team! Best wishes for your future endeavours. — Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) January 19, 2021 “We are all overjoyed at the success of the Indian Cricket Team in Australia. Their remarkable energy and passion was visible throughout. So was their stellar intent, remarkable grit and determination. Congratulations to the team! Best wishes for your future endeavours,” PM Modi had tweeted after India won the Test series in Australia. As far as Kevin Pietersen’s relations with India is concerned, the ambidextrous cricketer is also expected to be one of the leading analysts during the upcoming Test series between India and England. The first of the four-match series is scheduled to take place in Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium starting at 9:30 AM IST. The series has turned out to be a lot more important for India after Australia cancelled their Test series in South Africa due to the pandemic outbreak as the Men in Blue will now have to win at least two matches and not let the series end in a draw if they wish to play in the finals of the World Test Championship.

The kind of love and affection with his he’s welcomed back home after his 97-run innings in Sydney and an unbeaten 89* in the second innings of the Brisbane Test to win the match and the series for a second consecutive time, has been simply incredible.

So why not try for six runs? That’s what I think… If you’re trying to hit a six, like me, I know that sixes only fall outside the ropes and outside the ropes there are no fielders. So if you have done everything right, there is no problem,” Pant spoke about the aggressive mentality with which he played during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

All We Know About BJP Member Sonali Phogat Who’s Now A 'Bigg Boss 14' Contestant
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Bigg Boss makers surely know how to keep the TRP game up and running with different twists and turns in the show. The recent addition to the house is Sonali Phogat. Earlier this year, she was arrested for slapping a government official in Hisar when a video of Sonali Phogat slapping the official, beating him with a slipper went viral. In an interview with Hindustan Times, she was asked what made her take up Bigg Boss. She responded, “I am not just a politician but an artiste as well. I have been following Bigg Boss for quite some time now. It is the number one reality show in the country and everyone loves it. When I got a call to be a part of Bigg Boss, I felt like I could not have got a better show and I should definitely give it a shot.” View this post on Instagram Before we see more of her in the show, here’s all we know about Sonali. 1. Popularly known as 'Dabang Jaat Leader' in Haryana, Sonali is the National Vice President of BJP's Mahila Morcha. She is also in charge of the tribal wing of the Women’s Front in Haryana, Chandigarh, and Delhi. View this post on Instagram 2. She joined BJP in the year 2008. She also contested in the 2019 Haryana Assembly Elections from Adampur but lost to Congress party leader Kuldeep Bishnoi. 3. She has also been a part of the Punjabi and Haryanvi music videos and has acted in the TV show Amma: Ek Maa Jo Laakhon Ke Liye Bani Amma. Sonali has also worked in the movie P se Pyaar F se Farar with Jimmy Shergill. View this post on Instagram 4. She was also a popular Tik Tok star before the app was banned in India. 5. Recalling her struggles, she told HT, “I come from a very humble background. I was born in a farmer’s family. I studied at a government school till Class X and I was married off after that. My in-laws allowed me to study further but they did not want me to go out and work. However, I convinced my husband and got his permission.” She went on to add, “Then, my struggle started because I got into the acting line, and there was no one to help me. I had to make it on my own. Then, I became associated with politics, and my husband supported me here as well. But after he died, I saw the reality of people and how they view a woman. If a woman is good-looking and alone, she is not allowed to live. She is mentally tortured and wrong things are said about her. People make all kinds of attempts to force you to sit at home or take advantage of you. After my husband passed away, I faced many such hardships, which have made me stronger.” Now that she has entered the house, it will be interesting to see the new dynamics of the Bigg Boss 14 house.

It isn’t unheard of - lives getting caught up in the twisted ways of fate and ending up as a morning read on tabloids. People love to read about the stars of Tinseltown, more so if they go against the popular image. But not every rebel will meet the same ending, and it wouldn’t be incorrect to say that not every hero’s apparent failure will share the same fate. Many rise again to re-write their narratives and give their stories a different conclusion. Such has been the journey of Prateik Babbar, born to star parents Smita Patil and Raj Babbar, and he is by far one of Bollywood’s most atypical star kids today. © Instagram Prateik Babbar - Sidharth Lalchandani But none of the lows that kept hitting him in waves throughout his early years were able to take down this resilient spirit who fought back harder each time until he got the better of all the dangers threatening a promising future. So, here are 5 reasons why Prateik Babbar deserves all the hype for not only being the atypical Bollywood star kid, but for also keeping it real since the very beginning. 1. He Never Hid His Vulnerabilities © Instagram Prateik Babbar Prateik lost his mother soon after his birth and was brought up by his maternal grandparents and aunt. Raj Babbar wasn’t an active part of his growing up years, and Prateik never shied away from letting on how awkward his relationship with his father and his step-siblings was initially. Right from openly sharing how much he has always craved for his mother’s presence in his life or the soft spot he holds for his grandparents who reared him, Prateik has never been afraid of the world finding out his weaknesses. 2. He Turned His Struggle With Drugs Into A Lesson © Instagram Prateik Babbar One of the biggest challenges Prateik has admitted facing is his struggle with substance abuse. By his own admission, Prateik got into drugs while still a teenager and spent the next couple of years in and out of rehab trying to get rid of his dependence. A lot of emotional scars and a rebellious streak held him back from turning a new leaf, but with a will to turn his life around and honour his late grandparents as well as their memory, Prateik not only decided to move away from drugs but also focused on building himself up for the long run. 3. He Has Never Been Ashamed Of His Mental Health © Instagram Prateik Babbar Prateik has dealt with his fair share of mental health concerns and has spoken openly about his struggle with depression and how it affected his personal and professional life. Things especially took a major hit post his break-up with Amy Jackson. A time when he turned back to drugs to deal with his depression. Eventually though, Prateik began making conscious efforts to turn his life around and that’s how his buff-y phase came into existence. 4. He Roots For Fitness As A Cure-All, Well Almost © Instagram Prateik Babbar Prateik is often called a ‘fitness freak’ and he is happy to wear this title. Prateik’s fitness journey and love for a good workout is out there for all to see. If there is one thing apart from cinema that Prateik loves to talk about, it’s fitness and his Instagram is filled with pictures and videos of his workout session. He also believes that a healthy body is key to a healthy mind and even healthier life. Yet, if none of that convinces you, his toned, muscular physique should be proof enough. 5. He Is All For Challenging The Norms © Instagram Prateik Babbar Right from wearing nailpolish to wearing gender fluid or ‘feminine’ outfits and dyeing half his hair and eyebrows red, Prateik happily challenges gender and social norms by doing what he feels should be the new normal instead. Does he care about what people or the society thinks? Of course not and we love that he is so unapologetic about it all too. Cool guy this, isn’t he? View the full article

Manish Pandey brought out the big guns against Steve Smith’s Rajasthan Royals and helped SunRisers Hyderabad snap a three-game losing streak despite the early loss of important wickets like skipper David Warner and Jonny Bairstow. View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@rajasthanroyals) Walking in at 4/1 when Warner fell on his fourth delivery, Pandey saw Bairstow get bowled out by his national teammate Jofra Archer in the third over and in came Vijay Shankar. While the fans for the one-time IPL champions had already made up their mind and were prepared for their fourth consecutive loss, Pandey and Shankar had other plans. Not letting the early damage that the SRH batting lineup took affect his mentality, Pandey attacked the RR bowlers from his first delivery. In the course of his innings, he struck four 4s and eight massive 6s all over the Dubai International Stadium and finished the match with an unbeaten 83-run knock for the win. View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@sunrisershyd) To Vijay Shankar’s credit, he stuck with Pandey’s heroic innings, scored a half-ton for himself as well, and the duo managed to build a crucial 140-run partnership in the middle. View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@sunrisershyd) For his valiant effort, Manish Pandey was recognised with all sorts of accolades, from the ‘Man of the Match’ award to being named the Game Changer. View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@sunrisershyd) A career full of frustrations, that is arguably the best way to define the cricketer in heavy hitter Manish Pandey. Having played in the Indian Premier League for the past 12 years, Pandey has proven time and again why he deserves a spot in any IPL franchise for big bucks. However, when the teams needed him to perform, he’d let them down and himself as well. He is the kind of cricketer every Fantasy league player would want to have in their squad hoping for one of those days on which he simply plays like an unbeatable monster, like he did against Rajasthan on Thursday. In 2009, Pandey became the first Indian to score a century (114*) in the league but in a couple of years, he could only manage to score 143 runs (in 2012) and 136 runs (in 2013). He also got dismissed on zero in four matches during the 2012 season. His strike rate too has been all over the place over the years, ranging between 108.33 and 134.51 when played over 10 matches in a season. Thankfully for Pandey and his Hyderabad franchise, the batsman is looking in decent form this season. Having scored 295 runs in 10 matches with a strike rate of 134.70, he has also struck three half-centuries. With SunRisers Hyderabad just one win away from the IPL playoffs and a rejuvenated Kings XI Punjab right on their tail, they need Pandey to perform like never before. Once a young man with an abundance of raw strength and a lot of potential, the time is right for the 31-year-old to be a team veteran and lead his roster to glory. View the full article
