Sheldon Cottrell & KL Rahul’s Adorable Gesture On A Fan’s Request Will Make You Respect Them

The story of Kings XI Punjab is no less than a fairytale in the IPL 2020 as the Punjab franchise was able to win only one match in the first seven matches but then it made a surprising comeback and won five matches in a row. However, Rajasthan Royals broke their momentum by defeating them in the match which was played at Sheikh Zayed Stadium on October 30.

RR won the toss and decided to field first, putting to bat KXIP showed its batting strength by scoring a good total of 185 runs at the loss of 4 wickets. Chris Gayle missed his century just by 1 run and got out at 99 and other than Gayle, the skipper KL Rahul also played a good innings of 46 runs.

Rajasthan Royals got a good start as Robin Uthappa scored 30 runs while Ben Stokes scored a half century for which he played only 26 balls. The other batsmen Sanju Samson (48), Steve Smith (31) and Jos Buttler (22) ensured that their team attained victory and that too with 15 balls remaining to ball. Rajasthan Royals won the match by seven wickets and Ben Stokes was adjudged the player of the match as he also took 2 wickets other than scoring a half century.

Sheldon Cottrell is one of the most famous cricketers of KXIP, especially because of his salute celebration and recently, he was contacted by a fan who wanted a reply from the skipper of KXIP KL Rahul. Sheldon Cottrell has played six matches for the Punjab franchise and has taken six wickets.

The Twitter user wrote, “Hey @SaluteCotterell Sir I am Juman from Guwahati. Can I get a reply from @klrahul11? Please help me sir #mydream.”

Sheldon responded soon; he retweeted the fan’s tweet, tagged KL Rahul and told the fan that he would talk to Rahul but his skipper is very busy. Sheldon Cottrell’s tweet read, “Look I’ll speak to him but he is very busy being the mastermind of epic strategic proportion”.

The tweet was soon observed by the skipper who is holding the orange cap at present with 641 runs at an average of 58.27. Undoubtedly, KL Rahul is in superb form as he has scored a century and five half-centuries in the tournament.

KL Rahul replied by telling Sheldon that he is trying his best to perform and thanked the fan for his support. He wrote, “Haha @SaluteCotterell  I try my best. Hey Juman @cool_rahulfan thanks for your support. Stay safe and take care”.

KXIP is at the fourth spot in the points table with 6 wins in 13 matches while RR has also kept its hopes alive of entering into the play-offs by defeating KXIP.

Let’s see whether KXIP will be able to enter the play-offs or not.

RR Praises Ravindra Jadeja As His Team CSK Beats KKR & Boosts Chances Of RR To Enter Play-Offs

MS Dhoni led Chennai Super Kings may not have any chance of getting into the play-offs but it can certainly spoil the chances of other teams by defeating them in the league matches. CSK weakened Kolkata Knight Riders’ chances of entering the play-offs by defeating them in the match played on October 29 at Dubai International Stadium.

CSK won the toss and decided to field, the KKR openers started the innings in a solid manner and gave their team a good start. Although Shubman Gill returned to the dug-out after scoring 26 runs, Nitish Rana played a brilliant innings of 87 runs. The Kolkata franchise scored 172/5 in the stipulated 20 overs. CSK may be sitting at the bottom of the points table but it is certainly a pretty strong team.

Even after losing its opener Shane Watson early, the momentum of CSK didn’t get affected as Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ambati Rayudu kept on hitting the KKR bowlers in a blistering manner. Ruturaj played a superb innings of 72 runs (53) for which he was given the player of the match award. But things became difficult for CSK after both Ruturaj and Ambati Rayudu got out and they needed 27 runs to win in the last 9 deliveries.

It was then that Ravindra Jadeja came for the rescue of his team and sent Lockie Ferguson for two fours, one six along with 2 runs on a no-ball which was waist-high full toss. In order to win the match, CSK needed 10 runs in the last over but Kamlesh Nagarkoti of KKR did a great job by giving only three runs in the first four balls of the over. In the last two balls 7 runs were needed by CSK for winning the match and Jadeja hit a six to level the score of both the team. While only a single was needed on the last ball for CSK to win the match, Jadeja went for maximum to end the match in a grand manner.

With this defeat, KKR is now dependent on the performance of other teams also for its chances of entering the play-off and it has kept alive the hopes of Rajasthan Royals of entering the finals.

Rajasthan Royals praised Ravindra Jadeja for his performance by posting a photo of the cricketer from the days when he used to play for the Rajasthan franchise in the IPL. RR captioned the photo, “Once a Royal, always a Royal”.

Here is the tweet:

Ravindra Jadeja was selected by RR for the IPL after the U-19 World Cup 2008 which was won by India and Jadeja was also a part of the Indian team which was led by Virat Kohli. After playing for RR, Jadeja played for Kochi Tuskers Kerala which doesn’t exist now and in 2012, he was bought by CSK for Rs 9.72 crores. Since then, Jadeja has been associated with CSK and has played many important innings for his team.

Srikkanth Slams Manjrekar For Doubting KL Rahul’s Inclusion In Test, “He Can’t Think Beyond Bombay”

The Indian cricketers are presently busy in the IPL 2020 but they have a very important tour ahead starting November 27. We are talking about team India’s tour of Australia in which they are going to play 4 test matches, 3 ODIs and 3 T20Is. Undoubtedly, fans are pretty excited as India and Australia are very competitive against each other and we are going to see some really great cricket during that tour.

On Monday, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has released the list of the Indian cricketers who will be a part of the Indian squad on the tour. Soon the former cricketers and cricket lovers started reacting on the team selection and began to give their opinion in this regard. The former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar who is known for creating controversies doesn’t seem to be happy with the selection of KL Rahul in the test team. KL Rahul is presently leading Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) in the IPL 2020 and has been performing brilliantly.

Sanjay Manjrekar is not pleased with the fact that KL Rahul has been given a chance in the longest format based on his performance in the IPL. Sanjay took to the micro-blogging site Twitter and talked about the poor form of KL Rahul in the last 5 test series that he played and with it, he also posted Rahul’s average in each series.

Here is the tweet made by Sanjay Manjrekar:

Another former Indian cricketer Kris Srikkanth didn’t like what Sanjay Manjrekar said about KL Rahul and slammed him badly. Speaking on his YouTube channel Cheeky Cheeka, K Srikkanth called Manjrekar’s comments rubbish and insulted the Mumbai cricketer by saying that he should be left alone as he has no other job.

Srikanth supports the inclusion of KL Rahul in the test squad by saying that the Karnataka cricketer has been doing brilliant in all the formats of the game including the tests. He goes on to say that he doesn’t agree with Manjrekar because he is questioning something just because he wants to create controversies.

K Srikkanth asks Sanjay Manjrekar to take a look at KL Rahul’s test record before questioning. Srikkanth is quite pissed off with Manjrekar and states that Sanjay’s problem is he and people like him can’t think beyond Bombay and they can’t talk or think neutral.

Whom do you support – Sanjay Manjrekar or Kris Srikkanth?

Scott Styris Has A Cool & Funny Reply To Fan Who Asks, “Why Is RCB On Top Of Your Hate List?”

There is no denying the fact that the IPL 2020 is one of the best seasons for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). They are at the second spot as of now and it is pretty certain that they will be playing in the play-offs. What makes this performance more special is the fact their last three seasons were completely pathetic and this year, they seem to be a totally different team.

The former Kiwi player Scott Styris is also showering praises on RCB and recently while speaking at the Star Sports Select Dugout, he says that he always feels the bowler must have faith of the captain and it seems that this time, the RCB skipper Virat Kohli has faith in his bowlers that they can fulfill the responsibility bestowed on them. Scott Styris is completely correct as the bowlers of RCB – Yuzvendra Chahal, Washington Sundar, Mohammad Siraj and Navdeep Saini are performing great as they are taking wickets and making lives difficult for the opposition batsmen.

While Scott Styris was praising RCB, one Twitter user asked Scott why RCB is always on the top of his hate list. Here is what the online user tweeted, “Why is RCB on the top of your hate list?”

Scott Styris does have a good sense of humour and he has proved it once again by replying with, “Because you’ve got to dislike one of the teams” along with three wink emojis.

RCB may have to play without Navdeep Saini for a little while as he got his hand injured in the match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Sunday. Though the team is at the second position in the points table, they should not take things lightly as they lost the match not only against CSK but also against Mumbai Indians and this is certainly not a good sign for the team if they want to win the IPL 2020.

What do you think of the response given by Scott Styris? Do let us know.

Moon has always attracted human beings whether it is for spiritual reasons or for scientific reasons and now netizens are pretty excited as the traces of water have been found over there. For a long time, it was heard that there may be water on the surface of Moon as the scientists were a little confused as to whether it was water or hydroxyl (a molecule which comprises of one atom of water and oxygen each).

However, now the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has confirmed that there are traces of water on Moon and the co-author of the study, Casey Honniball has stated that if they are able to find water in ample amount even if in some locations, it can be used for drinking or for converting it in oxygen or fuel for flying rocket.

The flying observatory of NASA, SOFIA has further supported the news and confirmed that water has been discovered in the Clavius Crater of Moon and the quantity of that water is around 350 ml.

This was certainly a revelation and Twitterati was in no mood to hold back so here are some selected reactions for you:

The chances of human exploration have increased to a great extent now and in some time, we may see human colonies as we see in Hollywood movies. Well just to remind you, selling of plots on Moon started quite long ago and late actor Sushant Singh Rajput had also purchased a plot on Moon.

So are you ready to shift to Moon?

Netizens Come Up With Hilarious Diwali Ki Safai Memes & These Tweets Are Pretty Relatable

The festive season is back in India and with it comes the time of enjoying sweets, lighting the firecrackers and so on but this time Diwali will be a little different. Meeting others and exchanging gifts is also one of the rituals of the festival of lights but this year people will avoid interacting with people much due to the coronavirus pandemic. However, it doesn’t mean that they will celebrate Diwali with less zeal and enthusiasm; everything else will remain the same and individuals will compensate for personal meetings with video calls.

There is one activity which is synonymous to Diwali and that is cleaning the house before the festival. Yes, we are talking about “Diwali Ki Safai” and netizens are already recalling the time when their mothers used to make them a part of this activity despite their unwillingness. There is no denying the fact that many people don’t find it interesting or something they willingly wish to do and hence, social media has been flooded with funny memes over it. While some demanded a ban on child labour during Diwali Ki Safai, others talked about getting nostalgic while looking at old things while cleaning the house and many others talked about being tired after doing it.

These rib-tickling memes are pretty relatable:

Well, living in the clean surroundings is very important for not just physical health but also our mental health and this yearly activity ensures that our houses get completely cleaned at least once in a year. It also has a spiritual reason; Hindus worship God Ganesha and Goddess Lakshmi on Diwali and it is being said that Goddess Lakshmi who brings prosperity and happiness doesn’t stay in a house which is dirty. So if you want good health, prosperity and happiness, get actively involved in Diwali Ki Safai, whether you like it or not.

Do share with us if you have some good or funny experience or incident related to Diwali Ki Safai!
