From PM To Celebs To Sportspersons, Twitter Lauds Indian Men Hockey Team For Bronze Win After 41Yrs

Today is certainly a big day for Indian hockey and its fans as the Indian men’s hockey team has broken the 41 years old jinx and won a medal in the Tokyo Olympics. The Indian team defeated the German hockey team by 5-4 in a thrilling encounter and won the Bronze medal for the country. With this, we can now hope that glorious days of Indian hockey will be back as last time the Indian hockey team won a medal at Olympics was in 1980 when they won Gold for the nation. Hockey has given us 11 medals till date out of which 8 are gold.

Manpreet Singh is the skipper of the Indian hockey team and it won’t be wrong to say that the team has performed well under his captaincy in the last four years as it won Asia Cup in 2017 and Asian Champions Trophy in 2018. The Indian hockey team also reached the finals of the FIH Series in 2019 and quarterfinals of the 2018 World Cup.

The victory is also special considering the fact that there was a time when the Indian team was down by 3-1 but they made a strong comeback and won the match by 5-4. The Indian women’s team will also play a match against Great Britain for winning the bronze medal and it will really be like a dream come true if the Indian women’s hockey team wins the bronze too.

The Indian Twitterati soon reacted with congratulatory tweets and words of praises for the Indian hockey team. The Indian President and Prime Minister along with other ministers and celebrities congratulated the Indian hockey team for their wonderful achievement.

Here are the tweets:

President of India Ram Nath Kovind:

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi:

Naveen Patnaik:

Yogi Adityanath:

Rahul Gandhi:

Anurag Thakur:

Shah Rukh Khan:

Sachin Tendulkar:

The Chief Minister of the Indian state Odisha needs to be mentioned specially as he and his government pitched in to help Indian hockey when it was going through a crisis. In 2018, the official sponsor of Indian hockey Sahara pulled out and the Indian hockey teams were left with no sponsors which meant no competitive games for the Indian hockey teams. It was then that the Odisha government headed by Naveen Patnaik decided to sponsor both the Indian men’s and women’s hockey teams for five years and stuck a Rs. 100 crore deal with Indian hockey.

Naveen Patnaik used to play hockey in his school days and he was the goal keeper of his team when he used to study in Doon School, Dehradun.

Congratulations to the Indian hockey men’s team, we are proud of you!

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.

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!
