The Indian cricket team has certainly proved many people wrong by winning the four match test series by 2-1 as majority of the former cricketers were of the opinion that the Indian squad had no chance of attaining victory against Australia because Steve Smith and David Warner were back in the team. The humiliating defeat of India in the first test match at Adelaide further increased their confidence and the fact that the Indian skipper Virat Kohli was not a part of the Indian squad for remaining three matches made them feel that only a miracle could prove them wrong.
However, the Indian team put up a great show in Melbourne and won the test match to level the series by 1-1. When everyone thought India would lose the Sydney test match, the Indian players fought like soldiers and saved the match by ending it in a draw.
Despite the fact that these experts were proved wrong again and again, they were pretty sure that Australia would certainly win at Gabba, Brisbane, because the Aussies had a great record of not losing any test match over there since 1988. The Indian camp had many injuries because of which R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Hanuma Vihari and Jasprit Bumrah were also ruled out of the Brisbane test but the less experienced Indian side showed great determination, grit and courage and breached Gabba by winning the test match by 3 wickets and 18 balls remaining in the innings.
On the last day, the Indian team had to score 324 runs to win the match but they lost the star batsman Rohit Sharma early; however Shubman Gill along with Cheteshwar Pujara stabilized the innings. Gill lost his wicket at 91 being unlucky to miss his century but his knock ensured that India was never much behind the required run rate. Cheteshwar Pujara stood on the crease like a rock despite getting hit on the body at least 10 times and played a solid innings of 56 for which he played 211 balls. The young wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant played an important innings of 89 runs not out making sure that his team won the match.
After the great victory, the head coach Ravi Shastri gave a speech in the dressing room at Gabba in which he praised Gill for his superb knock, called Pujara an ultimate warrior and also appreciated Pant for his superb batting. Overall, Ravi Shastri applauded each and every person of the Indian contingent.

The Indian Twitterati has been quite harsh on the former England cricketer Michael Vaughan after he predicted that India will lose the test series against Australia by 4-0 and the Indian side kept on proving him wrong after the first test match. However, it won’t be wrong to say that Michael Vaughan has been one of the finest skippers that England has ever had and it was under his leadership that England brought back Ashes which many skippers before him failed to achieve.
In a column written for leading English daily, the former cricketer has criticised the Australian skipper Tim Paine for the wrong decisions that he has taken in the India-Australia series. According to Michael Vaughan, Tim Paine has made some really weird calls in tight situations and the present Aussie team has made it a habit of losing the matches in which they are in a strong position that happened two times in this series, first in Sydney and second time in Brisbane. He states that the capability of the skippers should be judged on the manner in which they lead their team in a tight match rather than in an easy victory.
Michael Vaughan also talks about the Aussie batting as he writes that other than Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne, other Aussie batsmen have failed to make an impact. He also adds that the Australian pace attack which is undoubtedly one of the best of the world has failed to deliver in crucial moments in the last three test matches. He goes on to write that the Aussie spinner Nathan Lyon has also failed to make an impact.
Talking about being proved wrong regarding his 4-0 prediction, Michael Vaughan writes that when such good cricket is being played and new players like Shubman Gill, Shardul Thakur and Washington Sundar play so well, there is no problem in being proved wrong.
India has won the four match test series by 2-1 and this is certainly one of the greatest victories as the Indian squad has played with new and inexperienced players against the star-studded Australian side.

Changing the name of cities is nothing new in our country but the Gujarat government is taking a unique step of changing the name of a fruit. The fruit in question is not an ordinary one but an exotic fruit! Yes, we are talking about Dragon fruit!
Speaking on the launch of Chief Minister Horticulture Development Mission, the Gujarat chief minister Vijay Rupani states that the word dragon is a very famous word but it is a Chinese word so his government has decided to rename it as Kamalam as the fruit’s outer shape is that of a lotus. He also says that it is not appropriate to use word dragon in the name of a fruit, adding that Kamalam is a Sanskrit word and there is nothing political in changing the fruit’s name. The CM also informs that the Gujarat government has also applied for the patent of the name Kamalam.
For past some time now, the farmers in Gujarat are growing Dragon fruit in good quantity. Dragon fruit is not much famous in India and it is also not easily available in the markets but as the Gujarat CM announced that its name will be changed, Twitter was not able to remain cool and this is how social media users reacted:

Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh make one of the most adorable and beautiful couples of Bollywood. They have worked in quite few movies together and entertained us a lot. The couple has been married for almost two years now and before their marriage, they dated each other for around six years.
In a recent interview, Deepika opened up on various issues including why she chose Ranveer as her life partner. She states that everyone talks about Ranveer’s energy but in reality, he is not like this all the time. She also reveals that in the beginning, they were close friends with a deep connect despite being very different from each other. The Mastani of Bollywood adds that what attracts her the most towards Ranveer is the fact that despite being together for 8 years now, they are still getting to know new things about each other. As per her, she can’t say that he knows Ranveer completely even today and the same thing applies to Ranveer as he also won’t be able to say that he knows her (Deepika) completely.
The “Om Shanti Om” actress says that they both talk about their professional lives such as whom they met, which movies they are offered but they do not interfere in each other’s work or decisions related to work. DeePee further discloses that they discuss almost everything even if things are going good or not but each of them takes their own decision.
Though Deepika can have many people in her staff, she likes to handle the issues of her house on her own. According to her, this is the way she has been brought up and she likes to do most of the things such as ordering groceries, packing, unpacking, etc. She also adds that whenever guests come at her home, she likes to handle things by herself and also prefers serving them food which is cooked at home.
We have to admit that Deepika is certainly an all-rounder! What a wonderful couple, truly made for each other!

The social media networks were flooded with memes and jokes regarding the disappearance of the Chinese business tycoon Jack Ma who is the co-founder of Alibaba and Ant Group and now there is a news as per which Jack Ma has made an appearance in a virtual video conference in which he chatted with 100 rural teachers.
The Alibaba co-founder appeared for the first time on social media since Oct 2020 and it is being said that Jack Ma disappeared from public view after he slammed the Chinese government and banking system. In November 2020, the Alibaba and Ant Group’s initial public offering worth USD 34 million was suspended by the Shanghai Stock Exchange which angered Jack Ma so much that he referred to Chinese banks as pawnshops. Soon the Chinese government announced an anti-trust probe into Alibaba and Jack Ma also refrained or was restricted from making any appearances.
As per the reports, Jack Ma had a video conferencing with 100 rural teachers on Wednesday and told them that he would meet them once the COVID-19 pandemic is over. This event usually takes place in Sanya, Southern Hainan, but because of the pandemic, it has to be carried out in a virtual manner.
Here is the tweet by a person who represents the China state affiliated media:
Soon the micro-blogging site Twitter was flooded with tweets expressing happiness over Jack Ma’s comeback. Memers also didn’t miss the chance of adding the element of humour to the news and here are some of the selected reactions from netizens:

The Australian skipper Tim Paine was on the radar of the Indian cricket fans since he sledged the Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin in the Sydney test match and as India won the Brisbane test match and the series, the Indian fans became quite eager to troll and slam the Aussie captain.
In the Sydney test match, Ravichandran Ashwin and Hanuma Vihari batted for 259 balls for saving the test match which made the Aussies frustrated. The Aussie skipper Tim Paine also lost his cool and told Ashwin that he can’t wait for him (Ashwin) to come to Gabba. In response, Ashwin said that he can’t wait for him to come to India which would be his last test series. After this, Tim Paine used an abusive word for the Indian spinner but as he realised his mistake, he apologised for his conduct in a press conference.
The Aussies were pretty sure of their win in Gabba as they had a great track record of not losing a match over there since 1988 but after Gabba was breached, the Indian social media users made up mind to slam the Aussie skipper but in their haste, they trolled the wrong person whose name also supposed to be Tim but there is a slight difference in the spelling of Paine as the person whom Indians messaged is named as Tim Payne.
Tim Payne has been targeted by the Indian fans as he also has a verified account. The concerned person is from London and he shared the incident on his Instagram story with the screenshots since he received more than 600 message requests.
Here you can see the screenshots:
Tim Paine has become the first Australian captain to lose two test match series against India at home and we also want to inform everyone that Tim Paine doesn’t have an account on Instagram as told by his wife Bonnie Paine during the Indian tour of 2018-19.
Now we have won the crucial series so let us celebrate! Why to waste time in trolling someone? Agree?
