Gautam Gambhir Allegedly Called MS Dhoni ‘So-Called Finisher’, Got Roasted Mercilessly

MS Dhoni, the former skipper of the Indian cricket team, is certainly one of the most successful Indian skippers and he has played many match winning knocks for his team. Dhoni used to bat lower down the order when he used to play for India and many times he ensured that his team ended the match as winner because of which he also earned the title of a great finisher. Well, Mahi still bats lower down the order for his IPL team Chennai Super Kings but he is going through a rough phase as far as his bat is concerned as the CSK skipper has scored only 66 runs in 11 matches in the IPL 2021.

Gautam Gambhir, the cricketer turned politician, has been quite critical of MS Dhoni and he doesn’t mind making controversial statements despite the fact that he gets trolled a lot on social media for the same. In the past, Gambhir has made some controversial statements against Dhoni and recently, he once again stirred a storm on the social media networks when he took a jibe at Mahi.

During the IPL 2021 match between Punjab Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders, Gautam Gambhir who is also a commentator talks about the role of finishers. He states that Andre Russell is also called a finisher but Virat Kohli, the skipper of the Indian cricket team and the IPL team Royal Challengers Bangalore, has certainly emerged as the best finisher in the last 2-3 years. Gautam Gambhir adds that just by calling someone a finisher doesn’t make them a finisher and Virat Kohli has scored more runs in comparison to the so-called finishers.

Though Gautam Gambhir didn’t take MS Dhoni’s name, almost all online users were quite sure that Gambhir tried to take a jibe at Mahi who is not able to perform well with bat in the IPL 2021.

Here is the video in which Gautam Gambhir talked about finishers:

‘Special Player’ & ‘Next Decade’s Superstar’, Twitter Lauds Ruturaj Gaikwad For Maiden IPL Ton

Many young cricketers are making their presence feel in the second leg of the IPL 2021 and Ruturaj Gaikwad is also one of them. Ruturaj Gaikwad plays for Maharashtra in the domestic level and in the IPL, he is playing for MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings. In the match against Rajasthan Royals which was played yesterday at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi, he scored his maiden IPL century and not just cricket fans but many former cricketers showered praises on him.

Ruturaj Gaikwad’s innings was certainly a treat for the eyes as he smashed all the RR bowlers all over the ground and what made his innings more special was that he completed his century by hitting a huge six of the last ball of the innings which was bowled by Mustafizur Rahman. Ruturaj scored 101 not out in 60 balls and his innings included 9 fours and 5 sixes.

Needless to say, he played an important role in helping his team putting up a total of 189/4 on the board. Ruturaj has now become the eighth CSK batsman to score a century in the IPL and as far as the IPL 2021 is concerned, he is the first batsman to cross the 500 runs mark. He has scored 508 runs till now and is followed by the skipper of Punjab Kings, KL Rahul with 489 runs.

Twitter was flooded with tweets in appreciation of Ruturaj Gaikwad and he is being touted as a special player who is going to be the superstar of the future. Here are some of the selected reactions:

As far as the match is concerned, the toss was won by the Rajasthan franchise which chose to bowl first. CSK got a steady start as openers Ruturaj and Faf du Plessis (25) produced a partnership of 47 runs for the first wicket but after the dismissal of Faf du Plessis, Suresh Raina (3), Moeen Ali (21) and Ambati Rayudu (2) got out quickly and Ruturaj’s search for a good partner ended at Ravindra Jadeja who played a blistering knock of 32 runs not out for which he played 15 balls (4 fours & 1 six).

However, the batters of Rajasthan Royals were quite determined to chase the target successfully and the RR openers Evin Lewis and Yashasvi Jaiswal gave a flying start to their team. While Evin Lewis got out on 27 (12 balls, 2 fours & 2 sixes), Yashasvi Jaiswal played a smashing knock of 50 runs (21 balls, 6 fours & 3 sixes). The RR skipper Sanju Samson got out early at 28 but Shivam Dube played a cracker of an innings as he scored 64 runs (4 fours & 4 sixes) and as a result, RR won the match by 7 wickets by scoring 190/3 with 15 balls remaining in their innings.

Despite the fact that CSK lost the match, the Player of the Match award was given to Ruturaj Gaikwad and there is no denying the fact that the 24 years old cricketer certainly deserved it.

This defeat hasn’t affected CSK as it has already qualified for play-offs but it has certainly kept the hopes of RR going to play-offs alive.

Mumbai Police Calls Out Misogynist Bollywood Scenes, “Kabir Singh” Gets Mentioned Twice

There is no denying the fact that cinema affects our lives to a great extent and we tend to follow what we see on the screen so it is the responsibility of moviemakers to ensure that they are showing something which is not making a bad effect on the society. However in the present times, filmmakers are mostly concerned with earning huge profits and making their movie hit and for this purpose, they include many such things which may have harmful effect on the minds of viewers, especially the youngsters.

Recently, the official Instagram handle of Mumbai Police posted some scenes from Bollywood movies which had misogynist (an expression or statement which spreads hatred for women or tries to prove them inferior to men) tone. The movie scenes which found place in this post were from Salman Khan and Sonakshi Sinha starrer “Dabangg”, Shah Rukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit starrer “Hum Tumhare Hai Sanam”, “Maalamaal”, “Dil Dhadakne Do”, “Chashme Baddoor”, “Ujda Chaman” but the movie which got mentioned two times was Shahid Kapur and Kiara Advani starrer “Kabir Singh”.

Check out the scenes:

“Kabir Singh” was directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and though it was a big hit on the box-office, it also got slammed for the lead actor’s misogynist dialogues and aggressive behaviour. Many actors from the industry also had a problem with the manner in which the lead actor was glorified despite the fact that he was alcoholic, abusive and violent.

Mumbai Police wrote the caption, “Cinema is a reflection of our society – Here are (just) a few (of many) dialogues both our society & cinema need to reflect upon. Choose your words & actions with care – unless you want the law to intervene!”

Here is the post:

We certainly agree with Mumbai Police. What about you?

David Warner Shares A Cryptic Message After Being Absent From SRH Dug-Out

The IPL 2021 is no less than a nightmare for Sunrisers Hyderabad as it has become the first team to get knocked out of the race of the play-offs. SRH has won only 2 out of the 11 matches that it has played and one of the reasons of its failure is the fact that its star player and former skipper David Warner has not been able to perform well in this season.

In the first leg of the IPL 2021, David Warner not only failed with bat but also got slammed for some poor decisions. The poor performance of the team compelled the management to take a big decision and they not only removed David Warner from the captaincy but he also lost his place in the playing eleven.

Kane Williamson was appointed as the new skipper but it doesn’t seem to have changed the fortunes of SRH as in the second leg of the IPL 2021 also, performance of the Hyderabad franchise has been quite disappointing. SRH somehow managed to defeat Rajasthan Royals but they were not able to defeat MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings.

While David Warner is not a part of the playing eleven, what is making his fans a little upset is that he is missing from the dug-out as well and in one of his videos posted on social media platform, he was seen watching SRH vs CSK match on TV.

What raised more doubts was the Aussie cricketer’s cryptic post which he made on his Instagram story. He wrote, “It’s not about who is real to your face, It’s about who stays real behind your back” with some thumbs emojis.

Here is the post:

The SRH coach Trevor Bayliss has stated that as the team is not going to make it to the play-offs, the team management has decided to give young players a chance to go out and perform and prove themselves. He adds that they want the youngsters to get the experience of playing matches and David Warner is not the only senior player who is watching matches on the television while sitting in the hotel room.

SRH has won an IPL trophy in 2016 under the captaincy of David Warner and hopefully the team will bounce back in the next season.

“Even Star Kids Lose Out Movies But Don’t Run Around Crying,” Says Sonakshi On Nepotism Debate

The star kids get trolled a lot on social media because of nepotism and there is no denying the fact that making a career is easy for them in comparison to outsiders but it is also true that the star kids also have to face problems in their career and not every star kid achieves success in the industry.

Sonakshi Sinha, the famous actress who made her debut in Bollywood with “Dabangg” opposite Salman Khan has also faced a lot of trolling because her father Shatrughan Sinha is a very successful Bollywood actor of the yesteryears.

Recently, Sonakshi Sinha gave an interview in which she talked about her journey in the Hindi film industry as well as nepotism. The “Akira” star says that even the star kids lose out movies to the outsiders but they don’t run around crying over it as it keeps on happening in the industry. She reveals that she has also lost out films to other actors but she accepts it as a part and parcel of her work.

Sonakshi Sinha has a message for all those outsiders who cry over losing flicks; she says that there is no benefit in making a noise about it and it will be better if they learn to deal with it as there is no use of discussing about the split milk.

The “Kalank” actress also talked about her father Shatrughan Sinha and said that he also lost some films despite the fact that he was not a star kid. While concluding, she states that this practice is in the industry for quite a long time and it will be better for an actor to deal with it by moving further and working hard.

Do you agree with Sonakshi Sinha?

Gautam Gambhir Supports Ashwin Over Scuffle With Eoin Morgan Amid Much Online Debate

Ravichandran Ashwin has once again created a storm in the cricketing world, last time he was in the center of a controversy when he mankaded Rajasthan Royals batsman Jos Buttler in an IPL 2019 match; Ashwin used to play for Punjab Kings (earlier Kings XI Punjab) at that time.

Now R Ashwin plays for Delhi Capitals and recently in a match against Kolkata Knight Riders when Ashwin and skipper Rishabh Pant were on the crease, the former tried to steal a run after the ball ricocheted of Pant. This did not go well with the KKR skipper Eoin Morgan and later on Ashwin and Morgan had a verbal scuffle regarding this. While some former cricketers and netizens called Ashwin’s act against the spirit of the game, there were several others who came out in support of the Indian spinner.

The whole incident was narrated by the KKR wicket-keeper and former skipper Dinesh Karthik who played an important role in calming down both the cricketers when they were arguing on the field.

Eoin Morgan who is also the skipper of the England cricket team may have slammed Ashwin and called him a disgrace but former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag was quick to remind him that during the finals of the World Cup 2019 which was played between England and New Zealand, ball ricocheted off Ben Stokes’ bat and the England team got four important runs but at that time, Morgan had no problem with it.

On the other hand, the former Australian cricketer Shane Warne called the event disgraceful and said that it should never happen. Shane Warne also stated that the world should not be divided on this matter and Eoin Morgan has all the right to nail the DC spinner.

Shane Warne tweeted, “The world shouldn’t be divided on this topic and Ashwin. It’s pretty simple – it’s disgraceful & should never happen. Why does Ashwin have to be that guy again? I think @Eoin16 had every right to nail him!!!!”

The former South African cricketer Dale Steyn has also given his opinion on this matter. He stated what R Ashwin did was within the rules of the game, adding that the Indian spinner is one such cricketer who squeezes each rule to his benefit and that is how he likes to play. Dale Steyn further states that every player plays game the way he wants to but he personally wouldn’t have taken a run if the ball has hit the other batsman and he is pretty proud of the manner in which he has played. Dale Steyn further says that though he differs from Ashwin in this matter, he can’t hold it against the Indian cricketer.

On the other hand, the former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir has also supported Ashwin in this matter. While speaking in a show on a sports channel, the cricketer turned politician states that he completely supports Ashwin in this matter as he has done nothing wrong, what he has done is as per the rules of the game. Gambhir further adds that majority of people who are speaking on this matter have nothing to do with it but they are just talking about it for increasing their followers on social media networks.

The owner of DC, Parth Jindal also came out in support of his player Ravichandran Ashwin as he also reminded Morgan of the WC2019 final and called his act hypocrisy. Parth Jindal tweeted, “So when the ball ricochets off Ben Stokes for 4 additional runs which single handedly allows England to win the 50 over World Cup there are no issues? But when Ash takes an extra run the world goes crazy? #Hypocrisy at its best – fully behind you @ashwinravi99”.

Recently, Ashwin also responded on this matter in a series of tweets and he made it clear that he didn’t know the ball had hit Rishabh Pant but he also stated that he would have still taken the run if he saw it because it was correct as per the laws. He also said that he didn’t fight, he just stood up for himself as this is what he has been taught by his parents and teachers. To conclude, he also asked his followers to make their kids learn to stand up for themselves.

What is your take on this matter? Do let us know.
