The Indian cricket fans are pretty disappointed nowadays as their plan of watching IPL got cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak; however, Star Sports is giving them a golden chance of watching India and Pakistan clashes in the 50-over World Cups and that too, ball-by-ball. Well, this is certainly the best option for any Indian cricket fan as India has never lost to Pakistan in the World Cups.
While team India has always been famous for its batting, bowling has been the biggest strength of the Pakistani team. In the 2003 World Cup, Sachin Tendulkar and Shoaib Akhtar fought a battle as a batsman and bowler respectively which was ultimately won by the Indian cricketer. However, former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif found it a little difficult to face Shoaib Akhtar considering the fact that he was bowling at the pace of 150 km/hr.
Md. Kaif scored 35 runs in 60 balls and his son Kabir was not at all happy with his father’s batting. In fact, he thought that hitting Shoaib Akhtar was easy as he was generating a lot of pace. Md. Kaif himself made a tweet with a video of his son and wrote,
“Thanks to @StarSportsIndia, finally Kabir gets to relive that historic #INDvPAK game. But junior isn’t too impressed with Papa, says hitting @shoaib100mph must be easy since there is pace in his bowling. Kids today I tell you…phew! 
#QuaranTime #LifeInLockdown”
Former Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Akhtar was quick to respond and he challenged Kaif for a match between Kabir and Mikael Ali Akhtar (Shoaib Akhtar’s son) so that Kabir can find out answer regarding the pace. However, it was all in good spirit and the Pakistani speedster also asked Kaif to give his love to Kabir.
Shoaib Akhtar’s tweet read, “Toh phir @MohammadKaif match ho jaaye Kabir aur Mikael Ali Akhtar ka? He’ll get his answers about Pace. Haha Give him my love.”
It is indeed a visual delight for sports lovers to enjoy these classic matches and relive those great moments.

The Indian cricketers are nowadays passing their time by having Instagram live sessions and the latest one was between Rohit Sharma and Yuvraj Singh.
Rohit and Yuvraj talked on many issues including the changing environment inside the dressing room. Yuvi who has retired some time ago also discussed about Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul episode and claimed that it would not have happened in his time.
Unless you have been living under a rock, you must be knowing that Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul appeared in Karan Johar’s talk show Koffee With Karan and they were suspended after it was found that they made some insulting comments towards the women community.
Yuvraj Singh told Rohit that earlier seniors were used to be much disciplined, adding that every Indian cricketer was very careful about his image and how they should talk in public or in media because they were the ambassadors of the game as well as the country. He also said that earlier junior players used to fear that if they made any mistake, their seniors would come and tell this is not right and you should not do it.
The left hander further adds that he feels the respect towards seniors is now decreasing among the juniors because of the social media, parties, etc. Yuvraj also says that the juniors don’t have many players to look up to as only Virat and Rohit are playing all the formats, the remaining are coming and going.
Rohit says that the environment in the dressing room is light now and he keeps on talking to all the youngsters. Hitman also reveals that he talks mostly to Rishabh Pant who is just 20-21 years old but media writes a lot about him and mostly is negative.
Yuvraj also expresses his views that the younger generation is not much interested in test cricket which is real cricket and even the players who are playing for India should play in domestic cricket whenever they have time as it will help them in earning experience of playing on different surfaces.
Do you agree with Yuvraj Singh? Let us know your views in this regard.

The coronavirus outbreak has forced all of us to remain inside the house as it is the best way to save ourselves from the contagious virus considering the fact that there is no vaccine available in the market for this lethal disease. The Indian government imposed a 21 days lockdown so that the lives of people can be saved but the problem that is being faced by a number of persons is how to pass their time at home. There are some individuals who have the option of working from home so they are busy with their work but there are many who are using different ways to spend their time.
There is no denying the fact that lockdown will affect our economy in an adverse manner but there is something good as well which is happening due to this. Because of the lockdown, the pollution levels have gone very low and people are able to see sky clearly in many metro cities. Even wild animals were seen on the roads of some cities and the air in Delhi has also become breathable.
Lately, the residents of Jalandhar shared their happiness on Twitter as they started posting photos of Dhauladhar Range Mountains which they were able to see from the terraces of their houses. Till now, people were not able to see them clearly due to pollution but the sight is quite different and soothing to eyes now. While some netizens showed the reality, few thought of having fun by posting funny tweets, claiming that they can see aliens at Mars, Burj Khalifa, Pyramids, etc, from their houses in India.
Here are some of the selected tweets:

The Australian cricketer Steve Smith is undoubtedly one of the best batsmen of the world and the cricketer was supposed to lead the IPL team Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the thirteenth season of the league. However, IPL 2020 which was supposed to start on March 29 has been postponed till April 15 and the chances of the tournament taking place even after April 15 seem bleak now.
IPL may have been delayed but RR came up with a way to cheer up their fans amidst the lockdown by carrying out a podcast of its social media pages in which Ish Sodhi, the cricketer from New Zealand, interviewed the Aussie star cricketer Steve Smith.
Steve has talked about a lot of things including his batting stance which keeps on changing depending on different factors. Steve Smith says that his batting stance depends on the pitch’s behaviour, who the bowler is, how he wants to bat at that moment and how the bowler is trying to get him out.
Steve Smith also talks about his general stance and how it helps him in saving his wicket. He says that when his back foot is almost near the off-stump or even outside that, it ensures him that any delivery which doesn’t come in his eye-line is definitely not going to hit the stumps. He further says that a batsman should not lose his wicket if the ball is not hitting the stumps. He accepts that there are times when he gets stuck in front of the wicket but he is fine with it as he gets to know that he can leave anything which is out of his eye-line.
Steve is one of those batsmen whom the bowlers find it pretty hard to get out and his batting stance confuses the bowlers a lot in regard to where they should bowl him. Steve Smith was banned from cricket for one year after he was found involved in the ball tampering incident in South Africa and he was also banned from becoming the captain of the team for two years. However now as the ban has been lifted, there is probability of Steve Smith once again leading the side.
There is no denying the fact that both Tim Paine and Aaron Finch have performed well but as the former may be retiring soon and the latter is also doubted to play after 2023, Steve Smith has pretty good chance of becoming the skipper. However, Tim Paine feels that Steve is not the only suitable candidate for the captaincy as Travis Head, Alex Carey, Marnus Labuschagne and Pat Cummins may also claim the candidature.
Well, such conversations among the players are definitely a source of delight for their fans.

The Indian government imposed 21 days lockdown starting March 25 due to the surge in the number of coronavirus patients in the country and as everyone was bound to sit at home, many people demanded that the government should re-telecast the old popular TV serials, such as Ramayana and Mahabharata. The Indian government decided to re-telecast not only Ramayana and Mahabharata but many other famous shows such as Dekh Bhai Dekh, Byomkesh Bakshi, The Jungle Book and the superhero serial Shaktimaan as well.
The main character of superhero Shaktimaan was played by actor Mukesh Khanna who was also the producer of the show. Mukesh Khanna has worked in some other serials and movies but he became a household name after he portrayed the character of Bhishma Pitamah in Mahabharata.
Recently, Mukesh Khanna gave an interview to a leading daily in which he revealed that he was already planning a new version of Shaktimaan and if the coronavirus outbreak did not happen, he must have made the announcement regarding the same. He also said that the return of Shaktimaan which was aired on television from 1997 to 2005 is no less than a miracle.
When Mukesh Khanna was asked about the new version of Shaktimaan, the actor didn’t disclose his idea of the plot but he took a jibe at Ekta Kapoor and said that his new version would certainly not be like Ekta Kapoor’s Mahabharata. He further said that he just can’t let anyone destroy the spirit of Shaktimaan in the manner in which Ekta Kapoor ruined Mahabharata. As per him, Ekta said that she was making Mahabharata for modern people as her Draupadi had a tattoo on her body but she didn’t understand that culture (sanskriti) can’t be modernized and if one tries to modernize it, it will lose its essence.
He was also not happy with the way in which Devavrat’s Bhishma Pratigya was shown in Ekta Kapoor’s Mahabharata along with many other things. Mukesh Khanna was so upset with Ekta and her team as he said that they thought themselves to be smarter than Vyas Muni who wrote Mahabharata.
Earlier, Mukesh Khanna was in news for targeting actress Sonakshi Sinha as he said that the re-telecast of Ramayana will be helpful for those who have no knowledge of their mythology just like Sonakshi Sinha. However when another Mahabharata actor Nitish Bharadwaj objected to it, Mukesh Khanna clarified that he was not targeting Sonakshi Sinha in particular and he didn’t even know but he is definitely speaking about those people who don’t even want to know about their culture and heritage. Mukesh Khanna also said that Ramayana and Mahabharata are not just mythological epics, they are our history. He also told that he was in talk with many big production houses for the new version of Shaktimaan but nothing got finalized yet.
Do you agree with Mukesh Khanna in regard to Ekta Kapoor’s Mahabharata?

Virat Kohli, the Indian skipper, is undoubtedly one of the best batsmen of the world cricket. In fact, some of the former cricketers and Virat’s fans consider him as the Greatest Of All Times (G.O.A.T.). Former Pakistani cricketer Wasim Akram is also an admirer of Virat Kohli and recently he made a statement as per which the Indian right-handed batsman would have made lives of many best bowlers difficult if he had played in the past.
While some agreed with Wasim Akram, his teammate and former Pakistani cricketer Waqar Younis had a different opinion as he said that he made his name bowling to some of the legends of the game.
Waqar Younis who is presently serving as the bowling coach of the Pakistani team has represented Pakistan in 87 tests and 262 ODIs. He has taken 373 wickets in tests and 416 in the shorter format. He troubled the world’s best batsmen with his reverse swing, Yorkers, etc. at high speed and his fans also used to call him as Burewala Express and The Toe Crusher.
According to Waqar Younis, he doesn’t agree with Wasim Akram as it is incorrect to say that the bowlers of the past never faced a batsman who was equally talented as Virat Kohli. He further added that he bowled to some of the greatest batsmen of cricket, such as Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara, Viv Richards and many more. He also said that he had the capability of getting any batsman out during his cricketing days and it would not have changed even today if he had been playing.
Presently, all the sporting events have been either cancelled or postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak which has taken lives of more than 74K people while over 13 lakh persons are infected with it. If we talk about Pakistan, the number of lives lost is 54 and more than 3,000 people have been found infected with the virus while in India, 4789 people are found infected with the lethal virus which has taken lives of 142 individuals in the country.
Whether you agree with Wasim Akram or Waqar Younis, make sure that you stay indoors to stay safe!

The Indian film industry has been severely affected because of the coronavirus outbreak as the release of few movies has been postponed indefinitely while the shooting of many flicks has come to a halt. The Bollywood actors are also forced to sit inside their houses and some of them are using their social media accounts to spread awareness about the lethal virus while several others are letting their fans know how they are spending their quarantine.
Some time ago, we got to see a video in which Katrina Kaif was seen washing dishes in her kitchen and it went viral. Now there is one more video which is being loved by the fans but it also has actor Vicky Kaushal and Salman Khan.
While Katrina and Salman were very close to each other in the past, there are rumours that Katrina and Vicky make a couple in the present times. However, both Vicky and Katrina have remained silent on this matter and have never given a clear answer whenever reporters questioned them over their relationship.
The old video is from an awards function in which Vicky proposed to Katrina on stage as he felt that the “Bharat” actress would be interested in getting married as the wedding season was going on. However, what made everyone laugh was the reaction from Salman as he kept his head on his sister Arpita’s shoulder and acted as if he was sleeping.
Vicky proposed Katrina for marriage with song, “Mujhse Shaadi karogi” being played in background but Katrina replied in negative saying, “Himmat nahi hai” (Don’t have the courage)”. Salman also woke up as Katrina replied in negative.
