The Indian cricket team is certainly one of the strongest teams of the cricket world and what makes it stand apart from other cricketing nations is its bench strength. The world got the chance of seeing India’s bench strength in the four match test series that was played between India and Australia last year in which India defeated the hosts by 2-1.

The Australian tour took place just after the IPL 2020 which was held in UAE due to the coronavirus pandemic and the Indian side may have lost the ODI series but won the T20I series and made history by retaining the Border-Gavaskar trophy. Before the beginning of the test series, many cricketing experts predicted that Australia would easily clean sweep the series and their confidence further increased after India suffered a humiliating defeat in the first test match which was played at Adelaide. The problems for India were going to increase further as India’s best test batsman and skipper Virat Kohli went on paternity leave after the first test match.

However, the Australian team and the cricket experts got the shock of their lifetime when the Indian side under the leadership of Ajinkya Rahane defeated the Australian team in the second test match which was played at Melbourne. Injuries were also a concern for the Indian squad and this was the time when the Indian youngsters rose to the situation and proved themselves when the opportunity was given to them. Despite the fact that the Aussies had a upper hand for almost first four days in the third test match which was played at Sydney, the Indians managed to draw it with the help of courageous and determined batting performance by the Indian batsmen, especially R Ashwin and Hanuma Vihari.

The fourth test match was played at Brisbane, Gabba, where the Australians were invincible for the last 33 years and injuries further increased the problems for the Indian camp. However, the less-experienced Indian team emerged as winner and not only won the test series but also broke the record of the Aussies at Gabba.

Recently during a show which was hosted by Mark Vaughan and Brendon Julian, the former England cricketer Michael Vaughan and the former Aussie cricketer and current coach of Australian team Justin Langer were asked to give their opinion on the test series which took place between the two super-powers of the cricket world.

Michael Vaughan took this is as an opportunity to troll Justin Langer as he said, “There’s no shame in losing to India’s 3^rd XI”. Justin Langer was in no mood to take it lightly and said that everybody makes fun like Vaughan about losing to India’s 2^nd or 3^rd playing XI but the real truth is that a team will be pretty strong if it is from a nation that has a population of one and half a billion and who love cricket a lot.

He stated that there will be very good players who will leave no chance of showing their talent when they are given the opportunity. Langer added that the Indian youngsters were very talented and fierce and unluckily, the Australian team was on the wrong side of the ledger.

We certainly agree with Justin Langer! What about you?

The IPL 2021 had been going pretty good for Virat Kohli led Royal Challengers Bangalore as it was on the third spot with 5 wins and 2 defeats in the 7 matches that it played before the tournament got postponed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact in this season, there was a time when RCB was at the top of the points table which is something very unusual and it increased the hopes of RCB fans manifold as they felt that their favourite team will definitely win its first IPL title this year.

However after some players and staff members tested positive for COVID-19, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had to take the difficult decision of postponing the IPL 2021.

The former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan expressed his opinion over the effect of postponement of the IPL 2021 on the RCB fans as the team was playing pretty good and it felt as if they would make their slogan, “Ee Sala Cup Namde” (this time cup is ours) come true this time.

Irfan Pathan said that the team was performing well, their star players AB de Villiers and Glenn Maxwell were playing well and the bowling was also superb. He added that if we take a look from the point of view of the fans, they would be disappointed as this season was going good and they must be expecting their team to win the IPL this time.

Irfan also praised Virat Kohli and said that this time Virat Kohli as a skipper must be happier than Virat Kohli as a batsman as his team responded in a brilliant manner and the combination of Virat Kohli and Mike Hesson worked pretty well for the team in the auctions.

Mike Hesson is the Director of Cricket Operations of Bangalore and it won’t be wrong to say that RCB pulled all the right plugs in the auctions, for example they bought Glenn Maxwell despite his dismal performance in the IPL 2020 and Maxwell justified their faith by performing well in the IPL 2021.

Irfan also said that RCB took some good decisions while trading as well as they not only managed to trade Harshal Patel but also Daniel Sams. However, Daniel Sams didn’t come handy as he was purchased keeping in mind that he would be useful if the team got the chance to play in Bengaluru.

Undoubtedly, RCB fans must be upset.

If you are in clothing, home decoration, sports gear, or anything in between possibilities are that Instagram is one of the most relevant social networking platforms for your company in 2021.

Facts and figures show that 50 percent of Instagram users follow at least one of these organizations, and the website lets the rest of them determine whether to purchase a commodity or utility.

A comprehensive Instagram business model has plenty of options, such as operating an Instagram influencer initiative or using paid-for tags such as story ads.

In this article, you will learn the strategies to gain popularity on Instagram and get a wider reach on Instagram as well.

What is a Shoutout on Instagram?

A shoutout on Instagram is just as it seems like. Practically, it’s a social socket or approval that can be received by another person. This is one of the popular methods to gain Instagram followers.

This is how shoutout works: Take into account two separate members on Instagram seeking to make their subscribers. Both users consent to share a shout on their pages by uploading a screenshot or a clip and directing the other channel to their existing followers to go forward with the other channel as well. The shoutout posts also contain pictures or clips from their account. This is one of the quickest and also most successful ways to create Instagram followers. You can even buy instagram followers for your profile.

Sadly, it’s not so straightforward to get a big shoutout. It includes collaboration with others and an ability to use links from other accounts on your own page in the shoutout or s4s deal. There are a couple of things everyone should consider before if you’d like to get a shoutout that gets the best performance.

How to Request Shoutouts on Instagram?

A straightforward post is a decent way of approaching your future associate but you can quickly explore and communicate with new players using an innovator marketing platform such as Pixlee. Eventually, it depends on the amount of communications and size of people who you deal with. How anyone can contact any other page user.

Shoutouts on Instagram are a brilliant and diverse way to make the brand aware of the audiences involved. You will accumulate relationships and establish a broader audience for your label with success, the correct equipment and a rational approach.

5 Tips to Get Shoutouts on Instagram

Here is a list of some tips which you can follow to get a wider reach on Instagram with the help of shoutouts.

Find Instagram Pages with Contents Like Yours

You can’t get any success if you share a lot of pictures of diet and nice meals on Instagram if you seek a sports user who only blogs about a sports collaboration.And if this user agreed to a shoutout, you might not get several fans out of it because the fans of this user would like to see material for sport, not diet.

Your best option is to find people who have common preferences with you, so your supporters see your material and want to join you, based on its content.

Find Instagram Pages with Audience Like Yours

Some people have small briefs in their Instagram bios to tell folks they are open to shoutouts. Even if that user has 100K+ following and you have  just 50,you can try your luck but our advice is to ‘don’t try to reach them’.Mainly because you don’t have a similar number of fans, users would not consent to shoutout but if you have similar number of followers the other page might feel more at ease with giving you a shoutout. It really is just reasonable. It is just fair. If you campaign up to at least 1,000 followers, shoutout with other users who are invested in expanding their supporters becomes much easier.

Like, Comment or Follow Pages Before Asking for a Shoutout

Etiquette goes a long way on social media, especially on a forum like Instagram in which everyone needs immediate fulfillment.

It’s nice to talk to the users who you want to shoutout and it demonstrates that you’re involved. Let everyone know that you are sincere, try sending your photographs or videos, suggesting, and continue pursuing them.

Note that there are ways of engaging especially on social media platforms like Instagram. A slight contact with social networks could go a long way and is the easiest way to connect online.

Avoid Spamming Comments to Get Attention

Few people are so keen to request for a shoutout, that they end up spam loads of profiles without checking the whole Instagram profile first. Don’t say anything general like “s4s.” This is not how things should be done.

Don’t just consider spamming users. Specific target people with articles and following can still be found but first engage a bit with everyone.

Contact Instagram Pages via Email or DM

Well, you’ve made your mind up by studying Instagram users who share related material and have the same percentage of followers.  Conversely, you avoided the urge of requesting a ” 4s” by making a random message on a blog and spent your time connecting or by leaving true non-spammy remarks.

Now you can ask the profile explicitly and see if they would like to shoutout. Search for a business account or a contact information form in the bio first. If nothing is mentioned, try hitting them with a personal message from Instagram Direct.

Conclusion

We hope that these tips will help you to gain popularity on Instagram. Use these tips carefully to get a wider reach on Instagram in a very short time.

On Instagram, there are plenty of pages and dozens of people making shout outs for pages everyday for weeks.

And note that, while significant numbers look fantastic, what counts is the actual involvement of committed supporters.  Please remember that if you provide the Instagram audience with great content then you will have no trouble keeping them following you.

Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli are the two big names of the Indian cricket world and many times we have seen that they both are compared despite the fact that Sachin Tendulkar has taken retirement long time back while Virat Kohli is still playing and he will continue to play for some years.

The former Indian cricketer Venkatesh Prasad also gave his opinion on the comparison of Virat Kohli with Sachin Tendulkar when he spoke on the Grade Cricketer Podcast. According to Prasad, Sachin Tendulkar is a calm person who rarely reacts or shows his emotions while Virat is aggressive and he likes to express himself but both of them are very good human beings. However, Prasad also says that Virat is aggressive only on the field as it helps him in playing better and he wants to perform well in each and every match but off-field, he is not an aggressive person.

Venkatesh Prasad also referred to an incident in order to show the difference between both the cricketers. He recalled the incident which took place in 90s at Sharjah during a match between India and Pakistan. In this match, Wasim Akram bowled a quick bouncer to Sachin Tendulkar, Little Master was not ready for it so he was not able to react and the ball hit his helmet. Prasad said that even after ball hit the helmet, Sachin neither showed any emotion nor even removed the helmet, he just held it and placed it properly. The next delivery bowled by Wasim Akram was also a quick bouncer quite similar to the first one but this time, the Indian batsman was ready and he hit it for a six, however still Sachin didn’t react after hitting a six.

Venkatesh Prasad says that if such thing happens with Virat Kohli, he would surely give a stare to the bowler or pump his fist after hitting the six. As per Prasad, Sachin and Virat are two different persons with two different characters but both of them are very important for the success of the game.

What is your take in this regard? Do let us know.

The young Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw was having a great time in the IPL 2021 as he had scored 308 runs in the 8 matches that he played before the tournament was postponed indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic. Shaw scored three fifties in the league which also includes his smashing knock of 82 against Kolkata Knight Riders and he averaged 38.50 with the strike rate of 166.48. Shaw was playing so well that he was at the fourth spot in the list of batsmen who were aiming for the Orange cap.

However, things were not so good for Prithvi Shaw last year as he had a pretty dismal IPL 2020 and he was also dropped from the playing XI after playing the first test match against Australia during the Australian tour. In the first test match against Australia which was played at Adelaide, Prithvi Shaw scored 0 and 4 in both the innings and some former cricketers also talked about a fault in his technique, saying that he needs to rectify it if he wants to be successful at the international level.

Prithvi Shaw’s superb performances in Vijay Hazare trophy and the IPL 2021 prove that he has worked pretty hard in order to regain his form but still he didn’t get the call for the Indian test team which is going to play the finals of the ICC World Test Championship and the England tour in which team India is going to play five test matches.

The former Indian cricketer Ashish Nehra has now opened up on the matter of Prithvi Shaw getting dropped by the Indian selectors after the Adelaide test match and said that dropping him just after one test match was tough. According to Nehra, it is not easy for any player to adjust as far as the technique is concerned and Shaw is a youngster, not one of those players who have a lot of experience or who have played 30-40 matches in long format. Nehra adds that though India won the series in Australia, he feels that Shaw shouldn’t have been dropped after one test match.

On the matter of Shaw getting replaced by Ajinkya Rahane in the finals of the IPL 2020 that Delhi Capitals played against Mumbai Indians which the Mumbai franchise won, Nehra said that though Prithvi Shaw didn’t manage to make big score, he played few good innings and if it is about choosing between Shaw and Rahane, he will definitely support Shaw. Nehra goes on to say that he doesn’t mean to say Rahane is not a good player but when it comes to T20 cricket, a team needs to have hard-hitters like Shaw, Pant, Hetmyer and Stoinis.

The legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar may be one of the best cricketers of all times for the cricket fans of other countries but for the Indian cricket fans, he is the God of cricket. There are many stories or incidents which happened on the cricket grounds when Sachin Tendulkar used to play and one very interesting story was narrated by the former Indian cricketer Venkatesh Prasad when he was speaking on The Grade Cricketer Podcast.

This incident dates back to the 90s and during that time, the India-Pakistan rivalry was at its peak. In one of the matches which was played between India and Pakistan at Sharjah, the Pakistani pacer Wasim Akram bowled a bouncer which hit the helmet of the Little Master.

Venkatesh Prasad said that Wasim Akram bowled a quick one which was around 145 km/h, Sachin didn’t expect such a delivery so he was not able to react and the ball hit his helmet. Sachin did nothing even after getting hit on the helmet, he just walked towards the leg umpire, managed his helmet but didn’t remove it.

Venkatesh Prasad further said that the next delivery of Wasim Akram was pretty similar to the earlier one, quick and same length and it would have also hit the helmet but this time Sachin was ready and he hit it off for a six. Prasad added that even after hitting a six, Sachin did not react at all.

It is being said that Sachin Tendulkar did not like to lose his focus while batting because of which he used to remain silent even if someone sledged him. This is why the Bharat Ratna Awardee is also known as the true gentleman of the game.
