India is a cricket crazy nation and for some people, cricket is no less than a religion. It is also true that the cricket board of India which is the Board of Control for Cricket in India is the richest cricket board of the world and the Indian cricketers also earn pretty good. However, the statement as per which the Indian cricketers earn pretty good doesn’t hold true in case of Indian women cricketers as there is a huge difference in the salaries of men cricketers and women cricketers.
When it comes to men cricketers, the BCCI awards them annual contracts in four categories – A+ (Rs. 7 crore), A (Rs. 5 crore), B (Rs. 3 crore) and C (Rs. 1 crore). But as far as women cricket is concerned, there are only three categories – A (Rs. 50 lakh), B (Rs. 30 lakh) and C (Rs. 10 lakh).
It is quite obvious that the salaries of women cricketers are less than men cricketers because women’s cricket is not as popular as men’s cricket and it also doesn’t generate much revenue but what has startled everyone is the fact that even the lowest contract amount of men cricketers is more than the highest contract amount of women cricketers. In simple words, the lowest salary of men cricketers which is Rs. 1 crore is 50 percent more than the highest salary which a women cricketer will get.
Twitterati was quite upset with such treatment meted out to Indian women cricketers and they went on to slam the BCCI for being biased as it is the board which is responsible for ensuring that women cricket is promoted more and women cricketers play more matches but BCCI is spending less funds on the development of women’s cricket.

Pay disparity among the two genders have always been a matter of concern but as per many Twitter users, this much difference is certainly equivalent to insulting the women community. What do you have to say on this matter? Let us know.

James Neesham, the New Zealand cricketer, has been quite active on the social media networks and he certainly tries to answer the questions asked by each and every fan and follower. However, sometimes the Kiwi cricketer comes up with really funny replies which also display his wittiness and good sense of humour.
Recently, a follower asks James Neesham whether he will be able to take the wicket of the Indian skipper Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma in the final of the World Test Championship. This is what the online user, “Do you think you can get the wicket of @imVkohli or @ImRo45 in the #WTCFinal?”
James Neesham responded with, “I would say that’s very unlikely”.
India and New Zealand are going to face each other in the finals of the World Test Championship in June at Southampton and both the sides have announced their squads. James Neesham won’t be able to take the wicket of Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma or any other Indian batsman as he is not a part of the Kiwi test squad. New Zealand has announced a 20-member squad under the leadership of Kane Williamson and they will be playing a 2-match test series against England before clashing with India in the WTC final.
James Neesham made his test debut in the year 2014 but he hasn’t been a part of the Kiwi test squad since 2017. He has played 12 test matches in which he has scored 709 runs and has taken 14 wickets as well.
Another Twitter user tried to warn James Neesham by telling him that if he has Bitcoin, he should sell it otherwise he will be in loss. Here is what online user wrote, “JIMMY if you have Bitcoin please Sold it, Otherwise u gonna be in Lose”.
James Neesham gave a pretty hilarious reply as he wrote, “Actually you only lose money WHEN you sell”
That was quite funny, wasn’t it?

The Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav has been in the news constantly in the recent past, whether it is because of his interview in which he accepts that he is losing confidence as he is not getting enough chances to play for India or due to his social media gimmick for which he posts a photo of himself getting vaccinated while sitting in the garden.
Recently, Kuldeep Yadav’s teammate and Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal opened up on the matter of Kuldeep Yadav mostly warming the bench. One of the biggest reasons for Kuldeep’s exclusion from the team is the comeback of Ravindra Jadeja in the squad.
In 2017, Jadeja was dropped from the Indian team for the shorter formats and at that time, Kuldeep and Yuzi used to play with the team and Hardik Pandya was also in the team then. Pandya who is known for his hard-hitting style of batting is also a medium pacer but because of his injury in 2018, Ravindra Jadeja got the chance to make a comeback.
While talking to a sports channel, Yuzi said that Ravindra Jadeja was included in the team after Hardik Pandya got injured and he is an all-rounder who can also bat at the seventh position in the team. Chahal added that unfortunately for them, Ravindra Jadeja is a spinner, if he had been a medium pacer like Hardik Pandya, they both (Chahal and Kuldeep) would have played together.
Yuzi and Kuldeep played quite a few matches together after the Champions Trophy 2017 but for the last two years, Kuldeep Yadav has been finding it difficult to play for the team.
Chahal added that he and Kuldeep played 50-50 percent matches in the series and a team is of 11 players who are chosen based on the combination and Kuldeep was not fitting into the combination. Yuzi also says that he will still be happy even if he doesn’t get the chance to play but the team is winning.
Presently, Yuzvendra Chahal is getting ready for the tour of Sri Lanka, however his performances in the recent past have not been as per expectations whether it is for the Indian team or his IPL team Royal Challengers Bangalore.

YouTube, the video platform offers us a wide range of options as we can get entertained by watching web series, short stories and funny videos or we can soak ourselves into devotion with devotional songs or we can also increase our knowledge or get motivated by watching educational or motivational videos. In simple words, YouTube has videos on almost each topic and for some of us, it is an integral part of our lives.
However today morning, many YouTube viewers got the shock of their lifetime when they saw that the video platform was not working. In the beginning, a number of people thought that there must be some problem with their Internet connection but soon they got to realise that it was YouTube which was not functioning while their Internet was working fine. There were many users who had problem in signing in the website while some were not able to watch high resolution videos as the resolution dropped considerably and for some, the website got completely blank.
The YouTube outage took place all over the globe, however the exact reason behind it is not yet known. Soon people started visiting the micro-blogging site Twitter to know whether others were also facing the problem and it was flooded with memes and jokes under the hashtag #YouTubedown.

This was not the first time that such a thing happened as earlier WhatsApp and Instagram users also faced similar situation. In November 2020 also, YouTube and some other Google services suffered a global outage. Whatever the reason may be, it certainly gave a good reason to the social media users to have some fun at the expense of YouTube.

The coastal areas of India faced the wrath of the cyclone Tauktae recently and not only there was destruction of property but few lives were also lost. What has made it more difficult for people and the governments is that the country is already facing the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic which has affected all and sundry in an adverse manner.
The states which were affected the most were Maharashtra, Gujarat, Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The Indian Meteorological Department had issue warnings to the people living in the affected areas and asked them not to go out of their houses while in more affected areas, evacuation was carried out by the governments and the concerned departments.
These natural calamities may turn our lives upside down for some time but they also signal us that we should stop abusing the nature in the name of development otherwise the consequences may be more disastrous than they are now. Many people use the seas as dumping ground and because of such people, the water pollution has reached a level which is alarming. With the cyclone Tauktae, the nature has tried to make us understand once again that we should not go against nature otherwise it will teach us lesson in its own style.
The huge waves left behind a big amount of trash on the shores of Mumbai such as Marine Drive, Gateway of India, etc. and this is the same trash which was dumped by the humans in the sea and nature just returned it to the humans. It is being said that 4 trucks of BMC (Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation) got completely filled with the garbage when they cleaned the shores.
Twitterati also reacted on this matter and while some called it return gift, several others said that if we don’t stop making mistakes, the future generations will curse us.

There is no doubt that dumping garbage in sea is a crime against nature and humanity and such activities should be stopped at once.

The Australian cricketer David Warner had a pretty bad time in the IPL 2021 as not only he found it difficult to score runs comfortably but his team Sunrisers Hyderabad was also at the bottom of the points table with only one win in the seven matches that it played before the tournament got postponed indefinitely due to COVID-19.
The SRH management had to take the harsh decision of removing David Warner from the captaincy after a series of failure and in the last match that SRH played against Rajasthan Royals, Warner was not even included in the playing XI. David Warner enjoys a huge fan following in India and many of his fans were not happy with his removal from the post of skipper.
However, David Warner is famous in India for one more reason and that is his videos in which he does mimicry, dancing, etc. on the songs of Indian movies. In the past, he has made many videos on the songs of Hindi movies and southern language films as well and sometimes he also replaces his face on to the faces of the actors in any popular scene or song of a movie.
Recently, David Warner shared a video in which he did fake transformation on the popular track “Rowdy baby” which is originally done by the southern actor Dhanush. He shared the video with the caption, “Back by popular demand, name it please”.
Fans were pretty happy seeing their favourite performer back on Instagram and we are quite sure that they will love to see some more of him.
As far as the Australian cricket is concerned, the ghost of the sandpaper gate scandal has come back to haunt them as the Cricket Australia has asked Cameron Bancroft to give more details after the latter indicated in an interview that the bowlers were also aware of the sandpaper being used to rub the ball.
It may not affect David Warner even if the investigation is launched again as he had accepted his mistake at that time and served a ban of one year as well.
Meanwhile, keep enjoying masaledaar performances of David Warner!

The cricket fans all over the world were hoping to see the comeback of former South African cricketer AB de Villiers in the national team as he was thinking of playing for the country once again. In fact, he was in the talks with the head coach Mark Boucher and Graeme Smith, the Director of Cricket South Africa (CSA) in this regard as well.
However on May 18, hopes of the fans got quashed after the CSA confirmed that Mr. 360, as the fans of AB de Villiers love to call him, will not be coming out of retirement. AB de Villiers took retirement in the year 2018 when he was 34 yrs old and the last time he represented South Africa was in the Johannesburg test match Mar-Apr 2018 against Australia after which he took the sudden decision of retirement. Thought ABD took retirement from the international cricket, he continued playing in different leagues including the IPL and kept on making his fans go crazy with his superb batting skills.
Some time back, ABD expressed his desire of playing for the country once again and the head coach Mark Boucher also confirmed that he had been in discussion with the cricketer in regard to his comeback. Recently, Graeme Smith also stated that it would certainly be good to have ABD in the team which would play the 5-match T20I series against West Indies.
However, fans were left disappointed after the CSA announced the list of the players for the tour of West Indies and Ireland as AB de Villiers’ name was missing from the list. Later on, the CSA also issued a statement in which it stated that the discussions with ABD have got over and the batsman has taken the final decision that his status of retirement won’t change. Even though ABD won’t play on the international level, he will continue to cast his magic on the field for Virat Kohli led Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League.
The social media users, especially the Indians, were not happy with this latest development and they slammed the CSA for playing dirty politics. Some Indian cricket lovers even went on to the extent of inviting AB de Villiers to play for India and take the Indian citizenship. However on the other hand, there were some who found humour in it, saying that other teams will be pretty happy with the retirement of ABD as his inclusion in the team increases its chances of victory.
