Twitter is undoubtedly one of the most used social media platforms in India and not just common public but celebrities also use it for carrying out communication with their fans or for sharing updates regarding their personal and professional lives. However some time ago when there was some issue about the changes in the privacy policies of the messaging platform WhatsApp, a discussion started regarding the use and promotion of an Indian app instead of the foreign apps.
Recently, the relations between Twitter and the Indian government also became tense when Twitter refused to block some Twitter accounts on the demand of the Indian government. This didn’t go well with the government and now some of their ministers have made their accounts on an Indian app known as Koo which is quite similar to Twitter.
Many Twitter users have been attracted towards Koo after the Union Minister Piyush Goyal announces that he is also on the Indian app. Subsequently, many other celebs and famous news portals, entertainment portals, etc. also opened their accounts on Koo.
Piyush Goyal tweeted, “I am now on Koo. Connect with me on this Indian micro-blogging platform for real-time, exciting and exclusive updates. Let us exchange our thoughts and ideas on Koo.”
This led to a meme fest on the micro-blogging site Twitter and while some were happy with an Indian app challenging Twitter, there were few who felt that Twitter would be better after some users would shift to Koo. Here are some of the selected reactions:

As the Koo app has become a topic of discussion, some social media users claim that the user data is getting breached by Koo, however the founder of Koo app Aprameya Radhakrishna has denied all such allegations. He has also promised that within a month, the company will get rid of the Chinese investor when he was asked about the allegations that the app has a Chinese connection.
The Indian app which was launched in early 2020 is seeing a huge growth in its user base. Have you signed in on Koo?

The England cricket team has taken a lead of 1-0 in the ongoing four match test series by defeating India in the first test match by 227 runs. There is no denying the fact that the first innings of England completely belonged to the English skipper Joe Root who was playing his 100th test match as he scored a double century. Moreover, we just can’t take the credit from the English bowlers who bowled superbly and managed to take the 20 Indian wickets in the test match.
James Anderson, the English pacer, also performed brilliantly in the first test match as he took 5 wickets. He had been targeted for his age as he is 38 years old now but the England pacer proved that age is just a number if a person really wants to keep himself fit like him.
After Anderson performed brilliantly, a cricketing portal decided to compare him with the South African pacer Dale Steyn in regard to their performances on the Asian grounds in the longest format of the game. While 37-yr Dale Steyn has played 22 tests in Asia and has 92 wickets to his name, the England pacer has played 24 test matches on Asian grounds but has taken only 71 wickets till now. It is quite clear that Dale Steyn is a little ahead of his England counterpart.
Here is the tweet which was made by the cricketing portal:
While the cricket fans were expressing their opinion on this comparison, the South African pacer Dale Steyn also noticed the comparison and made up mind to comment on it. The response that Dale Steyn has given shows how humble he is as he calls Jimmy a legend who is getting better by age. He also says that while Anderson is playing, he is watching sitting on sofa.
Dale Steyn wrote, “The only comparison required is that Jimmy is still going and I’m watching from my 20/20 sofa. He’s a legend and seems to be getting better with age”.
What is your take on this comparison? Do let us know.

The former Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Akhtar may have taken retirement from the international cricket but he is still very popular among his fans and critics, thanks to his online presence as he runs a YouTube channel and he is also very active on the micro-blogging site Twitter.
However, Rawalpindi Express is known more for his controversial and funny statements rather than imparting valuable knowledge about cricket. If you remember some time ago, he said that some Indian cricketers used to beg in front of him and asked him to throw ball at less pace. Not just this, he made many people laugh when he called Pakistan the best country in the world because everyone knows that Pakistan as a nation has failed in many aspects.
Recently, Shoaib Akhtar took to Twitter and posted a new profile picture which took his fans and social media users by surprise. In this photo, he is looking quite similar to Bollywood superstar Salman Khan from his 2003 released movie “Tere Naam”.
Here is the new Twitter profile pic of Shoaib Akhtar:
See the tweet made by Shoaib Akhtar:
As soon as Shoaib Akhtar shared the pic, mixed reactions started pouring in; while some asked whether he is working in the sequel of “Tere Naam”, few others used the term ‘Tere Naam Lite’.

There is no denying the fact that marriage is quite an important moment of our lives and equal importance should be given to the first night as well. Nobody will like to do anything which spoil these special moments that will never come again but there are few people who indulge in doing things which seem completely inappropriate for the moment.
Representational Image
While majority of people plan to make these moments more special by using unique concepts in their marriage or making their partner happy with precious gifts, several others spoil the fun by drinking too much liquor or by behaving in a rude manner with some guest.
However, a photo is going viral on the Internet in which the groom is seen working on his desktop computer while the bride is waiting for him sitting on the bed. Both of them are dressed in traditional attire and the bed is also decorated with flowers, perfectly ready for the couple to enjoy their first night. Undoubtedly, the bride is not in a good mood because of the antics of her hubby and social media users have also lost its nerves over the behaviour of the groom.
First of all, take a look at the viral pic:
The photo has been titled as “Hold on babe” and people are making various memes and jokes on it. Check out some of the selected reactions:

This is not the first time that such a thing has happened, last year a bride was seen working on her laptop while sitting on the stage dressed traditionally with her groom looking bewildered. While some praised the bride for her dedication towards her company, few slammed the company for overburdening the employee so much that she was not able to enjoy her own marriage.
Jokes apart, reaction of bride once the groom finished his work on computer and came to her on the bed would surely have been pretty interesting!
By the way, what caption will you give for this “hold on babe” photo? Do share with us.

The Indian team management was slammed heavily by few former Indian cricketers such as Gautam Gambhir, Harbhajan Singh, etc. for not including Kuldeep Yadav in the playing eleven against England in the first test match even before the test match started and now the childhood coach of Kuldeep Yadav has thrashed the team management for not treating Kuldeep Yadav properly.
Kuldeep Yadav played his last test match in Sydney in 2019 in which he took a 6-wicket haul and the head coach of the Indian team Ravi Shastri praised him by saying that he is number one choice for playing the overseas tour. Though he was included in the team for the Australian tour 2020-21, he didn’t play even a single test match in the recently concluded India-Australia test series.
The former cricketers and cricket fans were quite optimistic about seeing Kuldeep Yadav playing in the first test match against England at Chennai, especially considering the fact that Ravindra Jadeja was injured so Kuldeep would have been the perfect choice for the Indian squad. However, Shahbaz Nadeem got the chance to play despite the fact that he was not a part of the team originally. He came in after Axar Patel got injured and he failed to make any impact as team India lost the first test match by 227 runs.
Kuldeep Yadav’s childhood coach Kapil Pandey has blasted the Indian team management by saying that Kuldeep is on tour with them but he is not getting chance to play. They are not concerned with the wonderful stats of Kuldeep as they are treating him just like a normal cricketer.
Kapil Pandey also refers to the Hindi saying, “ghar ki murgi dal barabar” by which he implies that no importance is given to the talent which is with them and they are looking for talent outside. Kapil Pandey goes on to take a jibe at the management by saying that the player who is with the team and practicing with them is not getting a chance but the player who is not prepared is being given the opportunity.
While talking to a sports portal, Kapil Pandey also questions the greatness of the Indian skipper and coach. He also claims that Kuldeep is ousted from the squad even if he underperforms a little bit but other players get a lot of chances.
Do you think we will see Kuldeep Yadav in the second test match?

Michael Vaughan, the former England cricketer, is known for being very critical of the Indian cricket team and now once again, he has taken a dig at the Indian squad after it lost the first test match to the England side by 227 runs.
The English cricket team was on the tour to Sri Lanka before coming to India and there they defeated Sri Lanka by 2-0 in the 2-match test series. In the first test match against India which was played at Chepauk stadium, Chennai, the visitors were far superior to the hosts from the day one. The England skipper Joe Root who was playing his 100th test match played a brilliant knock of 218 runs and helped his team in posting a huge total of 578 runs in their first innings.
The England bowlers were also bang on target as they bundled out the whole Indian team for just 337 runs which gave a good lead of 241 runs to England. Though the England team was not able to score much in the second innings as they were all out for 178, they still gave a pretty good target of 420 runs to the Indian side. In response, the hosts were all out for just 192 and consequently, England won the first test match by 227 runs.
Few hours after the test match got over, the former English cricketer turned commentator Michael Vaughan took to the micro-blogging site Twitter for taking a jibe at the Indian squad by questioning it for not gifting a signed T-shirt to Joe Root as a gesture to acknowledge him for playing his 100th test match. There is no rule as per which the opposition team has to gift a signed T-shirt to the player who is playing his 100th test match but India did gift a signed T-shirt to Australian cricketer Nathan Lyon after he played his 100th test match which was the fourth test match of the series and was played at Gabba, Brisbane.
Michael Vaughan wrote, “India gifted @NathLyon421 a signed shirt for his 100th Test at the end of the Gabba Win … Did @root66 receive one today after the loss ?? Not sure if it happened? Can anyone confirm ?”
This certainly was not liked by the Indian cricket fans and they again did what they have been doing for quite some time now, i.e., trolling Michael Vaughan mercilessly for unnecessarily targeting the Indian team every now and then. Here are some of the selected reactions:

The India-England test series is quite important considering the fact that it will decide which team will face New Zealand in the finals of the ICC World Test Championship 2019-21. England has started quite well by winning the first test match of the series by 227 runs and this is Virat Kohli’s fourth straight loss as the skipper of the team.
Virat Kohli has been on the radar of the Indian Twitterati after India lost the first test match against Australia which was played at Adelaide. In that test match, India suffered a humiliating defeat by 8 wickets and in the second innings, the Indian team got out for just 36 which is its lowest total ever. However, the fortunes of the team changed after Ajinkya Rahane took the charge as Virat came to India on paternity leave.
In the remaining three test matches, India scripted history by winning the two test matches and getting one drawn. India won the four match test series against Australia by 2-1 and after that, many started demanding that Ajinkya Rahane should be made the permanent captain of the Indian test team while Virat Kohli should play as a batsman only. These demands got suppressed after Ajinkya Rahane made it clear that he is happy being the deputy of Virat Kohli and the latter will retain the post of captain.
However after the first test match defeat against England, many cricket fans have again raised their voices and demanded that Virat Kohli should be sacked from captaincy and Ajinkya Rahane should be appointed as the new skipper.

Virat’s captaincy is also targeted because he has been associated with Royal Challengers Bangalore since the inaugural edition of 2008 and since 2013, he has been leading the team but RCB hasn’t won an IPL trophy till date.
The first test match completely belonged to the England skipper Joe Root who scored a double century (218) in the first innings and 40 runs in the second innings. He was also adjudged as the player of the match for his superb performance.
Do you also think that Virat should be sacked from captaincy and Ajinkya Rahane should be appointed as the test skipper? Let us know your opinion in this connection.
