Manoj Tiwary Revealed Why He Joined Politics & Trinamool Congress Party

Cricketers turning into politicians in India is not a new trend as there have been quite a few examples when the Indian cricketers have tried their luck in politics and the most recent example is Manoj Tiwary. The Bengal cricketer fought elections on the ticket of Trinamool Congress and won from Shibpur constituency defeating Bharatiya Janata Party’s candidate Rathin Chakraborty by more than 6K votes.

If we talk about Manoj Tiwary’s cricketing career, he has had a short international career in which he has played 12 ODIs and 3 T20Is for the country. He has played total 98 IPL matches for Kolkata Knight Riders, Punjab Kings (earlier Kings XI Punjab) and Rising Pune Supergiants (now defunct). Last time he played in the IPL, it was in 2018 for Punjab Kings and after that, he has not been able to find a buyer despite the fact that he performed decently in the domestic circuits.

During an interview with The Telegraph, Manoj Tiwary said that he got the offer from BJP also but he didn’t pay attention to them because after seeing the plight of migrant workers and the manner in which the central government handled the coronavirus pandemic, it would have been against his ideals to join BJP. Tiwary further added that BJP never fulfilled any promise and incidents such as people losing their lives on railway tracks left him devastated and made him not to respond to BJP’s call.

Manoj Tiwary also thanked the Trinamool Congress leader and chief minister Mamata Banerjee for calling him when he was recovering from knee injury because of which he wasn’t able to play in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Tiwary said that he had 4-5 months at disposal because of his injury which he thought of using in a constructive manner.

We wish all the best to Manoj Tiwary for his new innings.

David Warner’s Instagram Story After Being Sacked From SRH Captaincy Will Make Fans Emotional

The Hyderabad franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad is going through a very tough phase in the IPL 2021 as it has been able to register only one win in the seven matches that it has played and as a result, it is placed at the bottom of the points table. The continuous failure in the tournament compelled the management to take the big decision of changing the skipper and Kane Williamson was appointed as the skipper of the team in place of David Warner.

The Australian cricketer was also dropped from the playing XI in the match against Rajasthan Royals which SRH lost by 55 runs. The director of cricket of SRH, Tom Moody stated that though David Warner was shocked and disappointed, he came to the terms and understood the reason behind it along with what the team wants to achieve. As far as David Warner’s batting performance in the IPL 2021 is concerned, he has scored two half-centuries but his strike rate has been a matter of concern for the team management.

There are some speculations too as per which the team management didn’t like it when David Warner stated that dropping Manish Pandey was the decision of the selectors. However, nothing can be said with confirmation in regard to whether David Warner was having some problem with the management or not.

As the news of David Warner’s removal from captaincy spread, his fans started looking at his social media handles in order to find out how he would express himself in this critical phase. The Aussie batsman also took to his Instagram and posted two stories – in the first one, he shared the photo of the Hyderabad ground, the home ground of SRH, and stated that he is missing playing over there while in the second story, he thanked a fan for making his painting.

Here are the stories:

Kane Williamson Faces Wrath Of SRH Fans For His Mediocre Captaincy Against Rajasthan Royals

Sunrisers Hyderabad is having a forgettable IPL this year as the team is at the bottom of the points table with only 1 win and 6 defeats in the 7 matches that it has played. The IPL 2016 champion is finding it tough to reverse its fortunes even after making the big decision of changing its captain. The Australian batsman David Warner used to lead the team but in the match against Rajasthan Royals, SRH was led by Kane Williamson, the Kiwi cricketer.  It was quite surprising as the decision of changing the skipper in the middle of the tournament may backfire as well and David Warner has been performing decently with the bat.

There are speculations that David Warner was not happy with the dropping of Manish Pandey and the management got a little upset when Warner made the statement that Pandey had been dropped by the selectors. It may be a co-incidence that David Warner was removed from the post of the skipper just a couple of days after he made the statement.

The match was played yesterday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, and the fans of the franchise didn’t seem to be much impressed with the captaincy of Kane Williamson. The Kiwi cricketer won the toss and invited RR for batting first. However, the fans and the cricket lovers felt that Kane Williamson was not fully prepared to lead the team and he made some mistakes while taking tactical decisions.

SRH’s bowling was quite good in the first 11 overs and one of the main reasons behind it was that out of the 11 overs, 4 were bowled by the ace-spinner Rashid Khan. In the third over of the innings, Rashid Khan took the wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal and in the same over, Kane Williamson took a DRS which went the other way. However, what hurt SRH the most was that in the next over of Rashid Khan, he got Jos Buttler lbw out and though the on-field umpire didn’t give him out, SRH also didn’t have the option of DRS as it wasted its chance earlier. Jos Buttler went on to make the best score of T20I career as he scored 124 runs for which he played 64 balls and his innings included 11 fours and 8 sixes.

Another mistake that the fans feel that Kane Williamson made is that by the 11th over of the innings, Rashid Khan had bowled all his four overs because of which he had to use Vijay Shankar and Mohammad Nabi in death overs and they gave away a lot of runs.

RR managed to put up a huge total of 220/3 on the scoreboard but SRH ended their innings at 165/8 in their 20 overs.

James Neesham Finally Breaks Silence On His Golden Duck Against CSK

The IPL match between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings which was played on May 1 was undoubtedly one of the most thrilling matches of the IPL history as it kept everyone on their toes until the last ball. Though the match was won by five times champions MI, it won’t be wrong to say that both the teams played like champions. Batting first, CSK gave a target of 219 runs to MI with the help of beautiful knocks of Faf du Plessis (50), Moeen Ali (58) and smashing knock of Ambati Rayudu (72).

It was Kieron Pollard’s blistering innings of 87 runs not out that sealed the victory for his team MI. Pollard faced only 34 deliveries and his innings included 6 fours and 8 sixes. Moreover, he was adjudged as the player of the match for his superb batting and bowling too as he took 2 wickets.

However after the match, the social media users are talking a lot about the new player of MI, James Neesham. The Kiwi cricketer was with Punjab Kings (earlier Kings XI Punjab) last year but he performed pretty badly in the IPL 2020 because of which the Punjab franchise released him ahead of the IPL 2021 auctions. In the match against CSK, James Neesham came to bat after the dismissal of Hardik Pandya and he faced the last delivery of the 19th over. On the very first ball, James Neesham tried to play big shot but got caught at long leg by Shardul Thakur on the bowling of Sam Curran.

Many online users were of the opinion that Neesham’s dismissal for a golden duck increased the pressure on the in-form batsman Kieron Pollard and some slammed Neesham also for his irresponsible shot.

Now the Kiwi cricketer has opened up on this issue and given a perfect reply to the trollers by tweeting, “Here’s the thing a lot of you don’t seem to understand: I would rather get a golden duck taking an option that gives my team the best chance of winning, than get a not out taking an option that preserves my personal record.”

MI is at the fourth spot in the points table with 4 wins and 3 defeats in the seven matches that it has played and after the win against CSK, it seems that the Mumbai franchise is getting its rhythm back.

Hopefully, all those who wanted to troll James Neesham would have got a good reply.

Mitchell McClenaghan Gives Epic Responses To People Who Try To Troll Mumbai Indians On Twitter

Mumbai Indians, the IPL team which is being led by Rohit Sharma is the most successful team of the tournament as it has won the IPL title five times and has garnered a huge fan base by playing some wonderful cricket. However, it also has some haters or critics who are the fans of other teams which have not been as successful as MI.

Recently, the New Zealand cricketer Mitchell McClenaghan conducted a question & answer session with his fans and he answered many questions related to his personal and professional lives. Mitchell made his debut in the IPL in 2015 for Mumbai Indians and he has played for only MI in his IPL career of 6 years.

The Kiwi cricketer was released by the Mumbai franchise before the IPL 2021 auctions and unfortunately for the cricketer, he went unsold. However still many times, we have seen Mitchell McClenaghan standing in support of MI against those online users who feel that the matches of MI are fixed and the owners – Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani use their money power to make their team win the IPL.

When one user called Mumbai Indians as Mumbai Umpire Indians, Mitchell McClenaghan gave a pretty good response as he asked the netizen whether he supports one of the other less successful franchises?

Another user tweeted Ambani Indians and to this, Mitchell gave an epic reply by tweeting, “Yup they own the team”.

One user who was pretty unhappy with Mumbai Indians and wanted to prove that the team wins by using the power of money tweeted, “Mumbai=money=trophy” but Mitchell McClenaghan responded by telling the user that the team can get money by winning trophies as prize money is kept for the winner.

Another user tried to troll Mitchell McClenaghan by saying that he must be dreaming to play for New Zealand and Mitchell shut him down by telling him that he has been there, done that and did well.

Mitchell McClenaghan is the fastest Kiwi bowler to take 50 wickets for New Zealand in ODIs and this is certainly a big achievement.

The 34 years old cricketer has played 56 IPL matches and has taken 71 wickets. Though Mitchell was a part of MI in the IPL 2020 which was played in UAE, he didn’t get the chance to play even one match in the whole season.

As far as the IPL 2021 is concerned, MI is at the 4th place with 4 wins in 7 matches that it has played and it needs to change its gears if it really wants to win the league this year.

Stephen Fleming Talks About The Spread Out Field Set By Dhoni For Kieron Pollard On Last Ball

Kieron Pollard is the man of the moment as he ensured his team Mumbai Indians’ victory in the match against Chennai Super Kings by playing a blistering knock of 87 runs not out for which he played just 34 deliveries and his innings included 6 fours and 8 sixes.

Batting first, MS Dhoni led CSK put up a huge score of 218/4 on the score board with the help of some good knocks by Faf du Plessis (50) and Moeen Ali (58). However, it was Ambati Rayudu who made the lives of the MI bowlers hell as he completed his fifty in just 20 balls. He remained till the end scoring 72 not out for which he faced only 27 balls and his innings included 4 fours & 7 sixes.

MI also responded in a good manner as the openers – Quinton de Kock (38) and Rohit Sharma (35) gave a steady start but it was Kieron Pollard who wreaked havoc on the CSK bowlers. On the last ball of the innings, MI needed 2 runs to win and the CSK skipper set the field which was completely spread out. However, still CSK was not able to stop Pollard from scoring 2 runs as he played the ball towards long on and took 2 runs.

Now Stephen Fleming, the former New Zealand cricketer and current head coach of CSK, has defended the field setting which was done by MS Dhoni for Kieron Pollard on the last ball. Fleming said that he was not surprised by the field setting as Pollard is a great timer of the ball and it is really impossible to understand what he is going to do next.

Fleming added that they were hoping for something like stumps to be hit just like what happened in the final of the IPL 2019. In the press conference, Stephen Fleming states that there are many things as well other than last ball on which they need to focus and work on.

The MI skipper Rohit Sharma was very happy after winning against CSK and in the press conference, he said that it was a great innings by Pollard and he had not seen this type of chase in the whole life. Rohit Sharma further stated that he is proud of the boys and the efforts that they made for winning the match.

That was certainly one of the most exciting matches of the IPL history. What do you say?

Brian Lara Is Not Celebrating His Birthday This Year & Reason Will Make You Respect Him More

Cricket is one of the most popular games of the world and it won’t be wrong to say that the main reason behind the game’s popularity are the great cricketers who have mesmerized us with their skills over the years and one such cricketer is the West Indian legend Brian Lara.

Today is certainly a very special day for the former West Indian cricketer and his fans as it is the birthday of Brian Lara but he has chosen not to celebrate the occasion because of the crisis that the whole world is facing as of now.

This news was shared by the Journalist Clayton Murzello when he tweeted, “Brian Lara refuses to celebrate his birthday. ‘Not in these times.’ Well done, BC Lara. You have a heart.”

Brian Lara is one of the greatest batsmen of all times and he made his international debut in the year 1990. He has represented West Indies in 131 test matches and has scored 11,953 runs at an average of 52.9. His highest score in test cricket is 400 not out and he has scored 34 centuries and 48 fifties. If we talk about ODIs, he has played 299 ODIs for West Indies and scored 10,405 runs at an average of 40.5 which include 19 centuries and 63 fifties.

This is a tough time for the world, especially for India as the country has been hit by the second wave of COVID-19 and the cases are increasing at a very high rate. More than 3.19 million people worldwide have lost their lives due to the lethal virus and though the situation is not so grave and things are getting back to normal slowly in other countries, India is still going through a very difficult phase.

As far as the situation in India is concerned, more than 216K people have lost their lives due to the coronavirus pandemic and presently, the most affected states or union territories are New Delhi, Maharashtra, Punjab, Kerala, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan. The biggest problem that the Indian patients are facing is that the hospitals are completely full and there is lack of oxygen in many hospitals despite the fact that the central government and the state governments are trying their best to increase the supply and help from the foreign nations has also been provided.

Hopefully, Brian Lara will be able to celebrate his birthday next year in a grand manner! Happy birthday legend!
