MS Dhoni, the former Indian cricketer who took retirement recently is undoubtedly one of the most loved Indian cricketers and his fans are still not able to believe that they won’t be able to see the right handed batsman representing India at the international level. He has given some really beautiful memories to Indian cricket lovers as it was under his leadership that team India went on to win 2007 ICC T20 World Cup, 2011 ICC World Cup and 2013 ICC Champions Trophy. Dhoni’s impact on the Indian test team was also amazing as it was during his captaincy that the team became number one in the ICC test rankings. He may have played in shorter formats till 2019 but he took retirement from test cricket in 2014 only.

Recently, the Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin who has played a lot of cricket under MS Dhoni’s captaincy talked about the time when the latter announced his retirement from the longer format. In December 2014, India was on a tour to Australia and Mahi took retirement from the test cricket mid-way in the series after which Virat Kohli was appointed as the new captain of the team.

Ashwin recalled and shared those moments in a YouTube video, saying that he and Dhoni were batting in the Melbourne test match and were trying to save the match but as they lost, Dhoni picked up the stump and said that he was done while walking out of the ground. R Ashwin further stated that he along with Ishant Sharma and Suresh Raina were with Dhoni in the wicketkeeper-batsman’s room that evening and Mahi was very emotional. R Ashwin said that Dhoni kept on wearing his test jersey for the whole night and he cried a little as well that evening.

In one of the Instagram live chat sessions during the lockdown, R Ashwin talked about his entry in the CSK team. Ashwin stated that he met Dhoni first time at Chepauk as a net-bowler. The Indian team was there to play an ODI against West Indies. As per him, he joined CSK in 2008 and was with them till 2017 and during this duration, he learned a lot from the CSK skipper. Ashwin said that in his earlier meeting, Dhoni was donning long hairstyle but it was only after playing with him in CSK, Ashwin realized how mature and capable leader Dhoni is.

Ashwin was appointed the skipper of Kings XI Punjab in the IPL 2018 and he was released by the franchise after the IPL 2019. In the IPL 2020, Ashwin will be playing for Delhi Capitals while Dhoni will be leading his CSK with which he has been associated since the inaugural edition of 2008.

Dhoni is certainly an inspirational cricketer and he will be missed a lot!

MS Dhoni is undoubtedly one of the best skippers that India has ever had and his calm attitude even in the critical situations has made him earn the tag of Captain Cool. The Ranchi cricketer decided to bring an end to all the rumours regarding his retirement on 14^th August as he announced it through an Instagram post. Mahi shared a montage of his photos from different occasions and it was decorated by the song, “Mein pal do pal ka shayar hu”.

Certainly, it was a very emotional moment for the Indian cricket fans as it was Dhoni under whose leadership India won the two biggest tournaments of the cricket world – T20 ICC World Cup 2007 and ICC World Cup 2011. Other than this, his team has also won the ICC Champions Trophy 2013 which made him the only skipper to win all the three ICC trophies.

As the veteran wicketkeeper batsman made the announcement, common public along with the people from cricket world started giving their reactions on this news. Mahi is admired by many cricketers of the world including the Pakistani cricketer Babar Azam who is also the skipper of the Pakistan cricket team.

Sara Ali Khan and Kartik Aaryan were in news for their alleged affair and then after some time, the news of their break-up started circulating during the promotions of their movie “Love Aaj Kal”. Though Kartik Aaryan even went to Bangkok on Sara’s birthday where she was shooting for “Coolie No. 1” in order to surprise her, they never accepted that they are dating each other.

Sara and Kartik worked together in Imtiaz Ali’s “Love Aaj Kal” which was a sequel of Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone’s 2009 released flick of the same name. The first movie was also directed by Imtiaz Ali and while it was a big hit, the second installment which also started Randeep Hooda and Aarushi Sharma in important roles failed to impress audiences.

Sara and Kartik have a good fan following on social media networks and recently they both did something which made it clear that they have moved on. Yes, Kartik and Sara have unfollowed each other on Instagram which gives an obvious indication that there is no chance of them getting back together.

Take a look:

It was being said earlier that they decided to part ways because they were not able to spend time together due to their busy schedules and also on account of the unnecessary media attention that they were getting.

What is your take on Sara and Kartik’s present step of unfollowing each other on Instagram? Is all not well between them? Let us know your views.

The Indian Premier League 2020 is scheduled to start from September 19 in UAE and the players have now started to reach their team’s hometown so that they can fly together to UAE. Recently, Yuzvendra Chahal, Navdeep Saini and Umesh Yadav also reached Bengaluru, hometown of the IPL team Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).

In these critical times of the coronavirus pandemic, it is important that safety guidelines are followed and that is why all the three cricketers have been quarantined in their hotel rooms. The franchises are also using social media networks in a pretty good manner to increase the excitement of fans and also for keeping them updated about the activities of their favourite players.

A video has been posted by the RCB franchise in which Yuzi can be seen trying to come out of his hotel room but the hotel staff is not letting him go out.

In the clip, Yuzvendra Chahal also states that he will be going out after 4 days which implies that RCB will be flying for UAE on 21st August.

Here is the video:

It is being said that the RCB skipper Virat Kohli is also going to reach Bengaluru soon and as per the guidelines given by BCCI, all the players will be tested for COVID-19 before flying for their franchise hometown. The cricketers will again get tested for coronavirus after landing in UAE and they will also be quarantined for one week before they indulge in training sessions. The final of the IPL 2020 will be played on November 10 and the fans of RCB are pretty hopeful of their team winning the trophy this time as they have one of the strongest teams of the tournament but unfortunately, it has never won an IPL title so far.

Which team do you think will win the IPL this year?

A lot was said and discussed about the return of MS Dhoni in the International squad as well as his retirement. A couple of days ago, Mahi brought all the speculations to rest when he announced retirement through a unique post which he made on his official Instagram handle. Soon, social media networks were flooded with reactions and not just people from the cricketing fraternity but the common public also expressed their gratitude towards Dhoni for giving them such beautiful memories.

MS Dhoni is the only skipper who has won three ICC trophies – 2007 T20 ICC World Cup, 2011 ICC World Cup and 2013 ICC Champions Trophy. He is known not just for his hard-hitting game but also for his calm and cool attitude. It is rarely seen that Dhoni gets angry or expresses his emotions and even more amazingly, he has the ability to handle any critical situation with ease and calmness.

The former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen also decided to congratulate Dhoni for his amazing career but he also used this moment as an opportunity to have some fun. While speaking on a show, KP welcomed Mahi in the retired club and referred to the latter’s career as magical. He stated that he wants to clear one thing and that is he is not Dhoni’s first test wicket. KP told Dhoni that the Indian wicketkeeper didn’t get him out but he and his fans continuously say that KP is Mahi’s first test wicket.

Here is the video:

Let us tell you what the whole matter is – In 2011, India toured England and in the first test match of the series, KP was given caught behind by Dhoni but KP went for a review. In the review, it was seen that the ball didn’t hit the bat so the English batsman was given not-out and he went on to score a double ton which helped his team in putting up a huge total of 474 runs.

This incident came into light in 2017 once again when Dhoni was playing for Rising Pune Supergiants while KP was sitting inside the commentary box. During the match, KP asked Manoj Tiwary, who was fielding for RPS, to tell Dhoni that Kevin is a better golfer than the Indian cricketer. Mahi responded with a cheeky reply as he asked Manoj to tell KP that he is still the wicketkeeper’s first wicket.

Dhoni will be leading Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2020 which will be played in UAE. The tournament will start from September 19 and will end on November 10.

There was a lot of excitement among fans of MS Dhoni as they were happy with the fact that Thala will be stepping on the field after a long time for the IPL 2020. However, now everyone is a little upset because yesterday MS Dhoni announced his retirement from the international cricket. Though we will be able to see Dhoni playing the IPL, it is also true that ardent fans of Mahi wanted to see him in blue jersey again and they feel that the wicketkeeper batsman deserves a farewell match at least.

Dhoni last played for the country in the 2019 ICC World Cup semi-final which India lost to New Zealand. Since then, he made himself unavailable for the selection. There were a lot of speculations in regard to Dhoni’s return in the national team and his retirement. While the fans of Dhoni expected him to make a comeback in the Indian squad for the T20 ICC World Cup, some cricket experts were raising doubts over Mahi’s fitness as he had not played cricket for a long time.

The head coach of the Indian cricket team, Ravi Shastri once said that Dhoni’s chances of playing in the T20 ICC World Cup 2020 will depend a lot on his performance in the IPL 2020. But the league got postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic and then the T20 ICC World Cup 2020 also got postponed, making all the chances of Dhoni’s comeback very bleak. However, nobody expected that Dhoni will make the announcement of his retirement in this manner and at this juncture.

Dhoni took to his official Instagram handle and posted, “Thanks a lot for ur love and support throughout.from 1929 hrs consider me as Retired”.

He also posted a montage of the photos of some moments of his career with the beautiful song, “Mein pal do pal ka shayar hu”.

Dhoni made his debut in the year 2004 and in these 15 years, he has scored more than 16K runs across all the formats and has also done 800 dismissals as a wicketkeeper. He is the only skipper who has won the three ICC trophies – 2007 T20 World Cup, 2011 World Cup & 2013 Champions Trophy.

Dhoni is also the skipper of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL since the inaugural edition of 2008 and under his leadership, CSK has won the IPL title three times which makes Dhoni the second most successful skipper in the tournament after Rohit Sharma.

We will miss Captain Cool!

The post From Virat Kohli To Sehwag, Entire Cricket World Reacts To Dhoni’s Retirement & Wishes Him Luck appeared first on RVCJ Media.

There is no denying the fact that the Indian Premier League (IPL) is one of the biggest sporting events of the world and not just cricket fans but the cricketers were also eagerly waiting for the IPL 2020 to take place. The league which was supposed to start from March 29 got postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic and it will now start from September 19 while we will get to know the winner of the tournament on November 10.

The IPL 2020 is not going to be organized in India as the situation of coronavirus is far from satisfactory and the number of COVID-19 positive cases is still increasing. The tournament will be played in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah and we will get to see some prolific cricketers spreading the magic of their talent.

James Neesham, the New Zealand cricketer, will also be taking part in the IPL 2020 and he will be playing for Kings XI Punjab. KL Rahul is the newly appointed skipper of the Punjab team while R Ashwin who led the team earlier was released by the franchise and now he will be seen taking wickets for Delhi Capitals.

James is quite active on social media networks and recently, he conducted a Q&A session with his fans in which he answered many questions. One of his fans asked him what he thinks about being bought for a small base price of Rs. 50 lakhs.

Here is what the online user tweeted, “@JimmyNeesh Your thought on being bought at 50Lacks base price at IPL 2020 Auction.”

@JimmyNeesh Your thought on being bought at 50Lacks base price at IPL 2020 Auction.

— Deexith Yadav (@DeexithY) August 14, 2020

Somebody else may have got annoyed after reading this tweet but James is a pretty cool-headed guy and he had a perfect answer for this question.

The New Zealand cricketer replied with, “Anybody who’s disappointed at 50Lakhs to play a game for 2 months needs their head checked”.

James Neesham hasn’t played cricket for the last five months as last time he played for New Zealand during the tour of Australia in March. The Kiwis were supposed to play three match ODI series against Australia but the series was postponed on account of the coronavirus outbreak after the first ODI was won by Australia.
