Barmy Army Tries To Troll Virat Kohli & Team, Gets Mercilessly Roasted By Indian Fans

The Indian and England cricket teams are now facing each other in the first test match of the 5-match series which is being played at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, and while the cricketers are battling it out on the field, their Indian and English fans have taken their fight to the social media networks.

Barmy Army is one of the biggest supporter groups of the England cricket team and they support their team not only in the home country but also overseas wherever they are playing cricket. Barmy Army had once again rubbed the Indian fans in a wrong manner by taking a jibe at Virat Kohli and his team even before the start of the first test match.

Barmy Army posted a photo in which Indian cricketers Virat Kohli, Ishant Sharma, KL Rahul, etc. are seen posing in a stylish manner. The caption of the photo was, “NEW MUSIC: Worried in Nottingham by Kohli’s Boys” and the tagline printed on the photo read, “Worried in Nottingham”.

Barmy Army is referring to the fact that the pitch at Nottingham has grass on it because of which the ball may swing more and it may be troublesome for the Indian batters to play on this pitch.

However, what Barmy Army forgot was that Nottingham was the venue on which the Indian skipper Virat Kohli played superb innings of 97 and 103 last time when India visited England. It was the third match of the four match series and India won it by a huge margin of 203 runs. However, the hosts won that series by 3-1 and the Indian team will certainly like to make history by winning the series this time.

The Indian fans gave it back to Barmy Army in a perfect manner and reminded them of Virat Kohli’s brilliant performance at Nottingham in the last series played between both the countries in England.

Here are some of the selected tweets:

As far as the first test match is concerned, the hosts won the toss and decided to bat first and by the time this article was written, England had scored 78 runs at the loss of 3 wickets.

We wish all the best to the Indian cricket team for the test series.

Kevin Pietersen Takes A Dig At ECB For Allowing England Cricketers To Play In IPL 2021 2nd Part

The IPL 2021 started in April as per the schedule but got postponed midway after India got hit by the second wave of COVID-19 and now the remaining matches of the tournament will be played in UAE from September 19.  When the Board of Cricket for Control in India (BCCI) announced its decision of conducting remaining matches of the IPL 2021 in September-October, there were many who questioned the availability of the overseas players as the international calendar was already very tight.

However, the BCCI managed this problem quite well by talking to the cricket boards of various nations and now most of the overseas players including the English cricketers will be playing in the remaining matches of the league.

Now the former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen has taken a jibe at the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) for sending the England cricketers to play in the IPL as earlier the ECB stated that none of the English player would be playing in the second part of the IPL 2021 as they would be giving more importance to the international cricket.

Earlier in May when the ECB director Ashley Giles made the statement regarding the unavailability of the English players in the second part of the IPL 2021, at that time also KP asked his followers to see how the ECB would handle this matter in the future.

Though the English cricket team was scheduled to tour Bangladesh in September-October where they were supposed to play limited overs cricket, now that tour has been postponed till March 2023 and the English players will be available to take part in the IPL.

Kevin Pietersen shared the photo of headlines which talked about postponement of the Bangladesh tour and tweeted, “Can anyone find my tweet from a few months ago when ECB said none of their players will play the IPL and will have to prioritise International cricket. I think I said, watch this space or something…….”

KP also talked about the time when he was the only one who wanted to play in the IPL while other English cricketers and the ECB wanted to stay away from the T20 franchise. However, the ECB changed its approach towards the IPL after 2015 as they wanted to change the structure of their cricketing system in the shorter format.

Kevin Pietersen tweeted, “It’s going to be v interesting to watch how the ECB handle this issue around not allowing it’s best players to play IPL, if it’s rescheduled. When I went up against ENG, I was alone. This time, it’s all their best branded players! If they stand together, they’ll play IPL!”

Are you excited for the second part of the IPL 2021?

Twitter Rains Memes As CBSE Announces Class 10 Results & 99.04% Students Have Cleared Exams

The board exams of class 10 and 12 have a lot of significance in the lives of Indians as we have been made to understand that getting good marks in these two classes is necessary for becoming a successful person in life.

Representational Image

How much this is true is something we don’t want to discuss now as we are more focused on the results of class 10 which have been declared by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) yesterday. This year the students have been assessed on the basis of an alternate assessment scheme as no exams took place due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The pass percentage of this year is 99.04 percent which is quite higher than the pass percentage of the last year which was 91.46 percent. This year total 21,13, 767 students registered for the class 10 examinations and out of them, the results of 20,97, 128 students have been declared while the results of 16,639 students are still under process and will be declared later. Nearly 2.76 percent of the students have scored more than 95 percent or above in the 10th standard.

Representational Image

As soon as the results were declared, Twitterati came into action and the micro-blogging site Twitter was flooded with memes and jokes that are damn relatable and will make you go ROFL.

Check out some of the selected reactions:

Earlier the class 10 examinations were scheduled to start from May 4 but the education ministry had to take the decision of cancelling the exams as the country got severely hit by the second wave of COVID-19.

We really hope that things turn completely normal soon as students are also tired of online classes because it is affecting their eyes a lot. Not only this, some kids are also getting mentally affected because of remaining indoors for a long time.

Congratulations to all the students who have scored well!

James Anderson Speaks On Taking Virat Kohli’s Wicket, Says “I Don’t Care If I Get Him Out”

The first test match of the 5-match series between India and England will be starting today at Trent Bridge. It is certainly a very important series for both the teams as it is the first series of the World Test Championship 2021-23 and England will also try to take the revenge of the defeat that it tasted in India when it visited the country last and lost the series by 1-3.

This contest is not just between India and England but also between Virat Kohli who is touted as one of the greatest batsmen of the cricket world and the England pacer James Anderson. Both the cricketers are quite competitive and they don’t like anyone dominate them; however in 2014, it was Anderson who had an upper hand but then in 2018, Virat Kohli showed the world his sheer brilliance.

There is no denying the fact that the England cricket team understands the importance of Virat Kohli’s wicket and all the bowlers of English squad will like to take his wicket. Recently, the England pacer James Anderson has attended a virtual press conference and in regard to the question related with Virat Kohli, Anderson says that he is certainly very excited to play against him as he is definitely the best in the world. He also adds that who doesn’t like to challenge himself against the player of Virat’s caliber.

Anderson further says that they know the huge amount of influence that Virat has on his team as a skipper and as a batsman so he is certainly a big wicket but it doesn’t matter to him whether he takes Virat’s wicket or not because the main thing is to get him out irrespective of who the bowler is.

Talking about the playing conditions at Trent Bridge, James Anderson states that swing will play a big role in the game and it will be a good place to bowl if there are clouds or it is humid weather and the ball will carry easily to the keeper if there is grass on the pitch.

Hopefully the Indian team will perform well and win the series.

After BCCI, Now Even Corporate World Is Boycotting KPL, 11wickets.com Issues Press Release

India and Pakistan have not played any cricket bi-lateral series for quite a long time now as both the nations are not on good terms. Pakistan has always been promoting anti-Indian activities from its soil but this time the Indian government took a strong stand and made it clear to Pakistan that sports and anti-India activities can’t go together so there will be no cricket until Pakistan stops all the anti-India activities.

Cricket is certainly the most popular game in both the countries but now Pakistan is using this game for the purpose of spreading its international propaganda. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is organizing the franchise cricket tournament Kashmir Premier League (KPL) in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir starting from August 6 and it will end on Aug 17.

There will be total six teams – Rawalakot Hawks, Kotli Lions, Mirpur Royals, Overseas Warriors, Bagh Stallions and Muzaffarabad Tigers, which will be taking part in KPL and the matches will be played in the city Muzaffarabad which is in PoK. Some overseas cricketers along with the Pakistani cricketers are scheduled to take part in this league and now Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has taken a strong stand against this league.

Recently, the former South African cricketer Hershelle Gibbs took to Twitter and alleged that BCCI had been pressurizing him not to take part in KPL. This is what he tweeted, “Completely unnecessary of the @BCCI to bring their political agenda with Pakistan into the equation and trying to prevent me playing in the @kpl_20 . Also threatening me saying they won’t allow me entry into India for any cricket related work. Ludicrous”.

After Hershelle Gibbs’ tweet, PCB also made a statement citing that BCCI is acting against the rules and regulations of ICC by interfering in the matter of its members. On the other hand, the BCCI spokesperson has slammed PCB and said that they are acting as confused people because BCCI holds all the rights to take decisions about the cricketing activities which are taking place in India.

As per reports, BCCI has made it clear to all the cricket boards that all those players who will be taking part in KPL will be banned from working in Indian cricket at any level. While PCB asked International Cricket Council (ICC) to recognize KPL, the apex body doesn’t seem to be in the mood of getting into this disputed matter and has refused to recognize it as an international tournament.

Now the corporates are also boycotting KPL and 11wickets.com, one of the leading sports online companies, has decided to boycott KPL as for them, the sovereignty and integrity of India comes first.

The company issued a press release in which it stated,

“It has always been our mission to make everyone around the world and in India an ardent sports fan. In this endeavor of ours, we have always promoted sports in every form and offering it on our website, 11wickets.com for fantasy tournaments.

Unfortunately, this time we have decided to boycott a league going by the name Kashmir Premier League and recognized by Pakistan Cricket Board which is supposed to be held in August 2021 at Muzaffarabad stadium in Pakistan occupied Kashmir.

For us as a company, the sovereignty and integrity of India come first and are our top priority. In the past, we have supported sports & cricket in various developing nations like Zambia and Afghanistan by sponsoring and offering those leagues on our platform.

Going forward also we will be happy to support cricket & sports in various parts of the world which includes the state of Jammu & Kashmir subject to it is held under the rightful banner of BCCI and India.”

Well, this step from 11wickets.com proves that Corporate Social Responsibility or CSR is not just limited to spending money on various development projects but it has a larger role to play, like the one in this case.

Do you think that Pakistan will get any benefit by organizing KPL?

“You Never See Sourav Ganguly Do That,” Anderson Speaks On Rishabh Pant’s Reverse Scoop Off Him

The Indian cricket team is all set to face the England side in the first test match of the 5-match series which will be played at Trent Bridge starting tomorrow. It is going to be a quite important series for both the sides as it is the first test series of the World Test Championship 2021-23. The England cricket team must be thinking of the revenge too as last time they played against India, they were defeated by 3-1 by the hosts despite the fact that England registered a huge victory by 227 runs in the first test match of the series.

The young Indian cricketers such as Rishabh Pant, Mohammed Siraj, Shardul Thakur, etc. will play an important role in this series, especially Rishabh Pant as he performed well against England in the last series. In the four matches that he played, Pant scored 270 runs and his reverse sweep shot played at the bowling of England pacer James Anderson was certainly the most talked about shot played by any batsman in that series.

Usually batsmen try sweep or reverse sweep shots on spin bowling but Rishabh Pant played it at the bowling of James Anderson and this certainly speaks very high of his attitude and confidence that he has in his batting.

That shot was played by Pant in the final and the fourth match which was played at Narendra Modi stadium, Ahmedabad. The ball went for a four in the third region and it won’t be wrong to say that Rishabh Pant gave a shock to everyone by playing that shot. He also scored a century in that match which helped his team a lot in winning the game.

During an interview, James Anderson talked about the reverse sweep shot played by Rishabh Pant on his bowling. Anderson is of the opinion that the Indian Premier League has made the Indian young cricketers bold and fearless in their approach of playing the game. He adds that even Sourav Ganguly who is one of the finest batsmen of all times wouldn’t have tried playing such a shot and that too, with a new ball.

As per Anderson, it is also a challenge for the bowlers to face a batsman who is not afraid of taking aerial route in test matches or playing risky shots and get him out. He goes on to say that it is also good for viewers as they will get entertained more and the IPL generation of players will definitely bring a difference in style of playing as they are not afraid of playing any shot in any format of the game.

Do you agree with James Anderson that the IPL has made cricketers fearless? What are your views in this regard? Share with us.
