Hardik Pandya, the young Indian cricketer who was in news lately because of his engagement with the actress Natasa Stankovic, has opened about the tough phase that he went through after attending Karan Johar’s talk show Koffee With Karan (KWK).
Hardik Pandya appeared on KWK along with his teammate KL Rahul and during the show, the former made some s*xist remarks. A huge uproar was caused and despite the apology made by Pandya, he and KL Rahul were suspended from the team and a ban of 6 months seemed inevitable.
Pandya said that he stopped going out of the house but after a week or 10 days, he realised that he has to face the problem and hiding is not a solution. The 26 years old cricketer stated that he shifted his focus towards the game and stopped thinking about anything else. However, he had no idea what would happen in the future – whether he would play the next game or would be banned for six months.
Hardik added that many people took him wrong and thought of him to be arrogant or someone who is not easy to talk to but their opinion changed after they got to know him a little.
Pandya has been out of the team due to an injury and he was supposed to join India A for the New Zealand tour but still there are some doubts over his fitness which needed to be dealt with before including him in the team.
The Indian cricket team was one of the favourites in the World Cup 2019 and there is no denying the fact that they played pretty well in the whole tournament but were not able to reach the finals.
India couldn’t defeat the team of New Zealand in the semi-finals and many hearts broke that day. The semi-finals was played on 9 July, 2019, and one of the most important moments of the match was MS Dhoni getting run out.
New Zealand batted first and put a total of 239 runs on the board for the loss of 8 wickets. The Indian team got off to a pretty bad start with three top order batsmen not even touching double digits. In such tough times, Ravindra Jadeja (77) along with MS Dhoni (50) stabilized the innings and took the team at a position from where 25 runs were needed in 10 balls which didn’t seem to be difficult considering the fact that Dhoni and Jadeja were on the pitch.
However, Dhoni got run-out because of a direct hit by Martin Guptill and what made everyone even sadder was the fact that Dhoni was just 2 inches away from the crease and if he had dived, he might have saved his wicket.
After the World Cup tournament, Dhoni was out of the team and he decided to remain mum so far. But now MSD has also chosen to talk about that run-out and has shared his feelings.
While giving an interview to a magazine, Dhoni says that till date, he keeps on saying to himself why he did not dive that day to save his wicket and expressed his feeling of regret on the same.
There is no doubt that the result of the match could have been different if Dhoni had stayed on the crease for the remaining 10 balls.
A lot is being talked and speculated about Mahi’s future as people want to know when he will take retirement but to know that, we might have to wait a little. Till then, let us just enjoy the game!
There is no denying the fact that social media is a vital platform that offers a variety of things, such as sharing your thoughts and opinions to a large mass, promoting a venture or product, attaining knowledge on the latest happenings of the world or tickling your funny bones with all the humour that it has to offer!
Celebrities often make the most use of it and apart from Bollywood personalities, some Indian cricketers are quite active on social media too and enjoy funny banter while trolling or taking dig at each other.
Ishant Sharma, the Indian pacer, took to Instagram recently and posted a photo of himself with the caption, “You only live once”.

Well, the Indian skipper Virat Kohli did not want to leave this golden opportunity to troll his teammate and he commented, “Hamein toh pata hi nahi tha” (we did not know this) with a laughing emoji.
Check out the comment made by the skipper:
The Indian cricket team has been performing quite well under the captainship of Virat Kohli and in recent times, they have won the three match T20I series against Sri Lanka by 2-0. Only 2 matches were played in the series as the first one was abandoned due to rain.
After winning against Sri Lanka, India will now look to defeat Australia in the three match ODI series which is going to start on January 14 with the first ODI being played at Mumbai. The remaining two matches will be played at Rajkot and Bengaluru.
After the Indo-Australian series, India will be visiting New Zealand and will be playing 3 ODIs, 5 T20Is and 2 Test Matches over there. These two test matches are a part of the World Test Championship in which India is at the top with 360 points after winning all the seven test matches that it has played.
This week is quite happening for the Hindi movie lovers as two big movies have released this week. Yes, we are talking Ajay Devgn, Saif Ali Khan and Kajol starrer “Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior” and Deepika Padukone and Vikrant Massey’s “Chhapaak”.
“Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior” got a wonderful opening as it earned Rs 15.10 crore on its first day but “Chhapaak” earned Rs 4.77 crore on Friday. The trade analysts were hoping that the collections of both the flicks would increase on the second day and it happened too.
Ajay Devgn’s “Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior” has created a storm on the box-office as it minted Rs 20.57 crore on the second day which makes its total earnings Rs 35.67 crore.
Here’s what trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted, “#Tanhaji roars on Day 2… Metros *and* mass belt, multiplexes *and* single screens, #Tanhaji is simply remarkable… #Maharashtra is record-smashing… Other circuits – decent on Day 1 – join the celebrations on Day 2… Fri 15.10 cr, Sat 20.57 cr. Total: ₹ 35.67 cr. #India biz”
#Tanhaji roars on Day 2… Metros *and* mass belt, multiplexes *and* single screens, #Tanhaji is simply remarkable… #Maharashtra is record-smashing… Other circuits – decent on Day 1 – join the celebrations on Day 2… Fri 15.10 cr, Sat 20.57 cr. Total: ₹ 35.67 cr. #India biz
On the other hand, an increase was witnessed in the collections of “Chhapaak” too as the film earned Rs 6.90 crore on Saturday, totaling the amount to Rs 11.67 crore.
Taran Adarsh wrote, “#Chhapaak witnesses an upward trend on Day 2, but the 2-day total is underwhelming… Decent at premium multiplexes, but unable to connect *and* collect beyond metros… Needs to cover lost ground on Day 3… Fri 4.77 cr, Sat 6.90 cr. Total: ₹ 11.67 cr. #India biz.”

“Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior” is based on the story of Tanhaji Malusare, a Maratha military leader and a close associate of Chatrapati Shivaji who played an important role in the battle of Kondhana. “Chhapaak” is based on the story of an acid attack survivor and her struggle to get justice and live life once again.
Which movie have you watched and how did you find it? Let us know your views.
Indian cricketer Virat Kohli is one of the most loved players of India and there is no denying the fact that under his leadership, the Indian cricket team is turning into a powerful unit.
Virat is a fitness freak and it is because of him that his teammates have also started working out more in the gym. In fact, it won’t be wrong to say that he is an inspiration for many of his fans as they are working pretty hard to keep themselves fit.
If you want to remain fit you also need to keep a check on your diet but you can’t control your mind which will make you visualize those tasty snacks which you just can’t have.
It is pretty rare that you meet a Delhite who doesn’t love the Indian snack Chholle Bhature and as Virat is from Delhi, he is also crazy for this but he certainly knows how to control his urge.

A couple of days ago, Virat posted a photo of himself in which he is seen practicing shots in nets while a bowler was balling him. He wrote the caption, “Ball out of the Bowlers hand and Chholle Bhature for a cheat meal deserve the same kind of focus.”.

As per this caption, the ball which is thrown by the bowler and Chholle Bhature on a cheat day should be given the same kind of focus or attention.
After this post of Virat, people started posting their own thoughts in this regard and also shared some memes on Kohli’s love for Chholle Bhature. Here are the selected tweets:
It is quite difficult for the royal family of England and its members to stay away from limelight as media and people are always curious to know more and more about them. However, the recent development that has taken place in the royal family has left many in a surprised state as Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle, the former actress, have decided to get separated from the royal family.
The official announcement regarding this decision was made by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on Thursday. They have said that they want to work and become financially self-reliant, adding that they will be managing their time between UK and North America and keep on supporting the Queen and their patronages.
They also talked about the launch of a new charitable entity, the details of which will be available afterwards. As per the reports coming, it is being said that no other family member was aware of the decision or consulted before the announcement.
As the news of their separation or split went public, their wax statues at the Madame Tussauds London were also shifted to a different area from the area which is dedicated for the members of the royal family.
Twitter was flooded with reactions on this matter but Indian Twitterati managed to find some humour in this development as well. They revisited the popular Bollywood movie “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham…” and started comparing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to Rahul and Anjali (the characters of the movie played by Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol).
The comparison was made on the base that in the film, SRK and Kajol also started a new life after getting separated from the family as they got married against the wishes of Shah Rukh’s rich family.
So True I think everyone need to watch Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gham #K3G best & my favourite Bollywood film. LOOOL so true tho super rich Indian son marries poor girl get cut off from money and moves from Delhi to London and then becomes rich in London . #megexit#HarryandMeghanhttps://t.co/KCPoO9uMS8
People comparing Meghan-Harry to Rahul-Anjali’s plot in K3G.
Yup, can totally imagining Will going to Canada to get back his brother, dancing with Kate to You are my Soniya. Charles and Camilla joining in for Bole Chudiyaan and oh, and the Queen dies. Plausible
This is full blown kabhi khushi kabhi gham. 10 years later, William’s going to be flying to America saying ‘chandu ki chachi’ to Meghan https://t.co/q4p7a7ylEP
Urvashi Rautela, the beautiful and young Bollywood actress is always in news whether it is because of her acting work or for her love life. She has been linked up with some cool hunks including a couple of cricketers.
Recently, her name was getting associated with the Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant but on the New Year’s Eve, the wicketkeeper-batsman made a post on Instagram which was dedicated to his girlfriend Isha Negi. In the post, he shared a pic of him with Isha and wrote the caption, “I like me better when I’m with you”.
This post certainly made it clear that Rishabh is not dating Urvashi as he is quite serious with Isha. However as per the latest reports, it is being heard that the “Sanam Re” actress has been blocked by Rishabh on the messaging platform WhatsApp.
As per a source, Urvashi was constantly trying to get in touch with Rishabh while the latter was in no mood to talk so after getting irritated, he decided to block her. However, there is another version of the incident which is being shared by Urvashi’s spokesperson who said that blocking each other on WhatsApp was a mutual decision which was taken by both.
Urvashi was earlier linked with cricketer Hardik Pandya but he is also engaged to actress Natasa Stankovic now.
Well, it seems that Urvashi seriously needs some work, what do you say?
