The India tour of England has reached its last phase with the 3-match ODI series that has started today at Pune. The England spinner Matt Parkinson who is also a part of the squad at the moment is making headlines for all the wrong reasons as of now.

The Indian social media users are trolling the England leg-spinner because of the his derogatory tweets that he made from 2012 till 2014 in which he not only called the Indian players cheaters but also called the legendary former Indian skipper MS Dhoni and Indian skipper Virat Kohli disgraces to the game of cricket.

What’s more, Matt Parkinson called Virat arrogant in his tweets too and even went on to make fun of standard of the Indian first class cricket as in his opinion, the Indian cricketer Ravindra Jadeja doesn’t know how to bat and he has scored three triple centuries in first class cricket.

It was speculated that the will be playing in the first ODI against India which is being played at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune, but he was not included in the England’s playing eleven. Though, Matt Parkinson deleted many of his tweets but the Indian cricket fans had taken screenshots of them and when the news of 24 years old cricketer playing in the ODIs surfaced, the Indian social media users started trolling him.

Mitchell Starc Breaks Silence & Reveals Why He Has Pulled Out Of The IPL 2021

The IPL 2021 is going to start next month from April 9 and the fans are already very excited to see their favourite cricketers in action on the field. The best thing about the IPL is that some best names of the cricket world come together in this tournament but there are few players who have kept themselves away from the league due to various reasons and one such player is Mitchell Starc!

Mitchell Starc, the Australian pacer and left-handed batsman who appeared in the IPL last time in the 2015 season and has played 27 IPL matches in which he has taken 34 wickets. The cricket fans were hoping to see Mitchell Starc in the IPL 2021 but he chose not to register for India’s T20 premier league, leaving many people confused.

Recently Mitchell Starc opened up on the matter of not playing in the IPL 2021. He says that he is more interested in playing cricket with red ball in the Sheffield Shield Trophy and is hoping to play the role of a senior player in the Shield as many Aussie cricketers will be leaving for India for taking part in the IPL 2021.

As per Mitchell, his intention is to take care of his fitness and play as much red ball cricket in Shield as possible. He represents New South Wales in the Sheffield Shield Trophy and till now, he has played 5 matches for his team. New South Wales has pretty good chances of playing in the finals as they are sitting on the second spot in the points tally with 29 points.

Mitchell Starc further says that he hasn’t played a Shield final till now but he hopes to help his team reaching the finals and also be a part of the squad that wins the Shield. Starc concludes by saying that his game remains almost the same in all the formats but for him, what matters the most is Shield and the test cricket.

It will be interesting to see which team will take the IPL 2021 trophy home.

Yuvraj Singh Takes A Funny Dig At Sachin & Brian Lara’s Acting In Road Safety Awareness Video

The Indian cricket fans were having gala time for past some time now as on one hand, they were watching the Indian national team clashing with the England cricket team in the 5 match T20 series and on the other hand, the former Indian cricketers were contesting against the former cricketers of Sri Lanka, West Indies, England, South Africa and Bangladesh under the Road Safety World Series which was played in Raipur, Chhattisgarh.

It was certainly a great chance to relive the past by watching the great players such as Sachin Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh, Irfan Pathan, Yusuf Pathan, etc playing cricket again. What made the Indian fans happier was the fact that Indian legends won the tournament after defeating Sri Lankan Legends in the final. The Indian cricketers had a lot of fun while taking part in the series and on one instance, Yuvraj Singh pulled leg of Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara for their acting skills.

As the name of the series is Road Safety World Series, a video is going viral in which Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara are educating the people about the importance of wearing helmets while riding a two-wheeler. In the video, Sachin also says that not just the driver but pillion rider should wear the helmet as well because both the lives are important. Sachin Tendulkar also emphasised on the need of wearing correct helmet while driving as cricket helmets are not fit for riding.

Sachin shared the video on Twitter with caption,

“Be it riding on the roads or driving on the 🏏 field, wearing a helmet is a must!

Let’s not take road safety lightly & always keep safety first by wearing the right helmet.

@BrianLara, thanks for helping spread this message mate. 🙂

Yuvi took a dig at the acting of the two legends by implying that they should be nominated for Oscars. He wrote, “Oscar Nominations”.

Talking about the final match that was played on Sunday (Mar 21), Sri Lankan Legends won the toss and they chose to bowl first. While batting first, India Legends posted a good total of 181/4 in the stipulated 20 overs with the help of smashing knocks of Yuvraj Singh who scored 60 in 41 balls (4 fours & 4 sixes) and Yusuf Pathan who made 62 runs in 36 deliveries (4 fours & 5 sixes). The Indian skipper Sachin Tendulkar also scored 30 runs in 23 balls (5 fours) and in response, the Sri Lankan team managed to score 167/7 in the 20 overs which resulted in the Indian squad winning the match by 14 runs. The highest scorer for Sri Lanka was Sanath Jayasuriya who scored 43 in 35 balls (5 fours & 1 six).

Don’t forget to wear a helmet while riding a two-wheeler!

Uttarakhand CM Says America Enslaved India For 200 Years, Sparks Meme Fest On Twitter

The new chief minister of Uttarakhand, Tirath Singh Rawat is making headlines for all the wrong reasons lately. Earlier he created a controversy when he slammed the women who wear ripped jeans as he asked what message such women would give to the society and what ethics they would give to their children. Not just common people but many celebs criticised Tirath Singh Rawat for his statement and #RippedJeans trended on the micro-blogging site Twitter as women started posting their photos while wearing ripped jeans.

Recently, the Uttarakhand chief minister made one more goof-up when he said that America ruled India for 200 years. While speaking in an event, the CM Tirath Singh Rawat says that in comparison to other countries, India has been dealing with the coronavirus pandemic in a far better manner. He adds that America which ruled over India for around 200 years and also ruled over other countries is having trouble in handling the pandemic at the moment.

This is certainly a goof-up because everyone is aware of the fact that it was British and not Americans who enslaved India and many other countries of the world. Needless to say, this was more than enough for meme makers to show their creativity and Twitter was soon flooded with memes and jokes trolling Tirath Singh Rawat. Here are some of the selected reactions:

Well if this was not enough, Tirath Singh Rawat once again attracted haters when he was talking about the good manner in which the Modi government handled the COVID-19 outbreak and helped the poor by providing 5 kg ration free on one unit. He added that a family of 10 got 50 kg ration while 20 members got 100 kg but there were some who were jealous of those who got 100 kg because they got only 10 kg (as they were 2 members). He said that such people should have given birth to 20 kids when it was the time and then took a jibe at them by asking why they gave birth to 2 only.

Here is the video in which you can hear him:

The coronavirus pandemic is once again gaining speed and the COVID-19 positive cases are on the rise. The biggest setback is that the chief minister Tirath Singh Rawat has been tested COVID-19 positive. He informed about it through his official Twitter handle and asked everyone who came in contact with him in the last few days to get tested.

Get Well Soon CM Tirath Singh Rawat!

England’s Woman Cricketer Alex Hartley Lauds R Ashwin For His Tweet On Women’s Cricket

Whenever we talk about cricket, most of us think about men cricket only as women cricket is not so popular but the good thing is that slowly the viewers of women cricket are also increasing and the women cricketers are also garnering good fan following due to their superb performances.

The Indian women cricket team is presently playing a 3 match T20 series against the South African team and the latter has taken an invincible lead of 2-0 after defeating the Indian squad in the second T20 by 6 wickets. The match was played at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow; the visitors won the toss and decided to bowl first. Batting first the Indian cricket team managed to put up a score of 158/4 in the stipulated 20 overs with the help of  Shafali Verma’s knock of 47 for which she played 31 balls (6 fours & 2 sixes) and Richa Ghosh’s knock of 44 which she scored in 26 balls (8 fours).

Though the South African team lost one of their openers Anneke Bosch quite early as she got out at the personal score of 2, the other opener Lizelle Lee ensured that she set the platform for her team’s win by playing a beautiful knock of 70 in 45 balls (11 fours & 1 six). After Lee got dismissed, Laura Wolvaardt played a brilliant knock of 53 runs in 39 balls (7 fours) and remained not out to ensure that her team ended as the winner of the match and the series as well. On the last ball of the innings, SA (women) needed one run to win; Laura did the honours by taking a single on the bowling of Arundhati Reddy and the visitors won the match by 6 wickets.

During the match when Laura Wolvaardt who was adjudged as the player of the match seemed unstoppable, the Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin took to Twitter and asked a way to get Laura out.

He wrote, “What is the procedure to get Laura out now? Can u send a soft signal to her? #INDvSA”

Ashwin’s interest in a women cricket match was liked by the England woman cricketer Alex Hartley. She praised the Indian player for his genuine interest in the women’s cricket and hoped that others would also follow.

She tweeted, “This… this is what we like to see. This is what matters, this is everything. A genuine interest in the women’s game!! Bravo @ashwinravi99 others will follow.”

All the best to the Indian women team for the next T20I.
