Deepak Chahar Reveals What Advice Dhoni Gave Him When He Announced His Retirement

Deepak Chahar has made a big impact in the cricket world in the recent past with both bat and ball but do you know who motivated the young bowler to focus on his batting as well?

In the mega-auction for the IPL 2022, he was bought back by his old franchise Chennai Super Kings for a huge amount of Rs. 14 crore. The cricketer who plays for Rajasthan in the domestic level started purely as a bowler and his capability to swing the ball both ways made him more lethal but his batting skills have made him even more valuable for the team. Chahar’s innings of 69 runs not out (82 balls) which he played in Sri Lanka in the second ODI was one of the best innings played by an Indian all-rounder.

Recently during an interview on a YouTube channel, Deepak Chahar revealed that it was MS Dhoni who asked him to focus on his batting. Chahar said that on the day of Dhoni’s retirement, he was sitting with the CSK skipper and they were having a chat, it was then Mahi told him that he had done a pretty good job with ball but he should also focus on his batting.

He added that during his younger days, he used to bat a lot especially in 2017-18 because he was at home at that time. He used to bat more at that time because there was a restriction on the number of balls that a bowler can bowl on one day as bowling more can have a negative effect on the body.

MS Dhoni has a knack of identifying the talent and this time again, he has played an important role in giving a talented all-rounder to the Indian cricket team. Deepak Chahar also played a quite good role in CSK’s win of the IPL 2021 and after buying him for Rs. 14 crore, the franchise will certainly like to see him perform well in both the segments – bowling and batting.

Great job once again MSD!

Suresh Raina Makes An Emotional Appeal To BCCI After Being Unsold In IPL2022 Mega-Auction

Suresh Raina is certainly one of the most loved cricketers of India as many cricket fans were emotionally hurt when he went unsold in the mega-auction for the IPL 2022 and some fans of Chennai Super Kings not only slammed the franchise but also the skipper MS Dhoni for this. What surprised everyone was that CSK even didn’t place the bid for their highest run-scorer who is the fourth highest run-scorer of the league and his value can be understood by the fact that his fans also lovingly call him Mr. IPL. Suresh Raina also played an important role in three IPL wins of CSK and he was a part of the team in the IPL 2021 as well but was out of form so he was not able to contribute much in the team’s fourth title win.

Many fans were of the opinion that CSK should have at least given one chance to bid farewell in a respectful manner to Suresh Raina who is one of the most valuable players of the franchise. Nevertheless, CSK’s CEO made it clear later on that though it was difficult for them to take the decision of not buying Raina, form plays an important role in the team composition.

Suresh Raina took retirement on the same day when MS Dhoni took retirement and since then, he hasn’t played much cricket as he is not playing on the domestic level. Many former cricketers also expressed surprise over Raina going unsold and few of them felt that opting out of the IPL 2020 and bad form in the IPL 2021 played a very big role in his ouster from CSK.

Recently, Suresh Raina made an appeal to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) which is related to granting permission to retired players to play in the franchise cricket in other nations. As of now, the BCCI does not give permission to any Indian cricketer to play league cricket in any other country such as Big Bash League, Caribbean Premier League, etc. despite the fact that every other nation allows their cricketers to play in the league cricket.

In a video, Suresh Raina has urged the board to allow those players who have taken retirement and they are also not playing the IPL to play in cricket leagues of other nations. He says that the standard of domestic is low in comparison to the international level and such players don’t have a plan B once they get neglected by the IPL franchises.

This video is going viral on the Internet. Watch it here:

“PSL-Paisa Shortage League” Twitter Trolls PCB As James Faulkner Leaves PSL Midway For Money Issue

The Pakistan Super League 2022 has attracted a big controversy as the senior Australian cricketer James Faulkner has leveled some serious allegations against the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). James Faulkner was a member of the PSL team Quetta Gladiators but he left the tournament midway citing payment issues and accused the PCB of not honoring the contract. Faulkner alleged that he was kept in dark by the PCB officials who kept on telling lies to him. He also said that the manner in which the PCB has treated him is a disgrace.

Quetta Gladiators that is being led by the Pakistani cricketer Sarfaraz Ahmed will not be able to use the services of James Faulkner in the last two matches. He played six matches in the tournament and in these six matches, he took six wickets and also played some useful innings but his sudden departure from the PSL has left Pakistani cricket fans in an agonized state.

In a couple of tweets, Faulkner leveled his allegations against the PCB and also apologized to the Pakistani fans for leaving the tournament.

He tweeted, “I apologise to the Pakistan cricket fans. But unfortunately I’ve had to withdraw from the last 2 matches and leave the @thePSLt20 due to the @TheRealPCB not honouring my contractual agreement/payments. I’ve been here the whole duration and they have continued to lie to me.”

He further writes that he doesn’t feel good while leaving because he wanted to help in bringing back international cricket to Pakistan as there are so many talented young cricketers.

His tweet read, “It hurts to leave as I wanted to help to get international cricket back in Pakistan as there is so much young talent and the fans are amazing. But the treatment I have received has been a disgrace from the @TheRealPCB and @thePSLt20 I’m sure you all understand my position.”

While the Pakistani cricket fans were not happy with James Faulkner and slammed him left and right, the Indian Twitterati left no chance to troll the PCB and PSL. Here are some selected reactions:

On the other hand, the PCB denied all the allegations of James Faulkner related to payment and called them baseless. In fact, the board accused Faulkner of gross misconduct and stated in the press release that the Australian cricketer damaged hotel property before leaving as he was under the influence of alcohol and he also behaved rudely with the immigration authorities. The PCB has banned James Faulkner for life in the PSL and some former Pakistani cricketers have also slammed the Aussie cricketer including Salman Butt who demanded strong action against Faulkner, such as taking him into custody.

Abhishek Bachchan Roasts KRK Like Never Before For Trying To Troll Him & Bollywood

Abhishek Bachchan, the Bollywood actor-producer, is certainly one of the wittiest persons of the film industry and a thorough gentleman as well. AB Junior is pretty active on the social media platforms and he is quite an expert in giving savage replies to his trolls. Moreover, what makes him different from other celebs is that he doesn’t loses his good manners even while replying to cheap and rude trollers.

Recently, Abhishek Bachchan took to the micro-blogging site Twitter and shared the first look of the Malayalam movie “Vaashi” in which Tovino Thomas and Keerthy Suresh are playing the lead roles.

The caption of the tweet read, “Another incredible movie coming from Malayalam film industry!! Good luck @ttovino, @KeerthyOfficial and the entire cast and crew! #Vaashi  #tovinothomas #keerthyofficial #malayalam”

Abhishek Bachchan’s tweet was soon noticed by the self-proclaimed critic Kamaal R Khan and he tried to troll AB Junior by tweeting, “Bhai Kabhi Aap Bollywood Wale Bhi koi incredible film Bana Dena!” (Bro you Bollywood people also come up with an incredible film).

KRK had no idea that he was messing up with a wrong person as Abhishek gave a kickass reply, “Prayaas karenge. Aapne banai thi na….. deshdrohi” (Will try. You did make….. Deshdrohi).

“Deshdrohi” is 2008 released movie which was written and produced by Kamaal Rashid Khan and he also played the lead role in the film. The flick which also starred Bhojpuri superstar Manoj Tiwari, Gracy Singh and others in lead roles was a big flop on the box-office.

Though KRK got trolled in return by AB Junior, the former still responded and tweeted, “Hahaha! Meri film Ke budget (₹ 1.5 Cr) Se Zyada Toh Aap logo Ke Makeup man Ka budget Hota hai. 2nd film Aap Bollywood Walon Ne Banane Nahi Di. Nahi Toh blockbuster Bhi Banakar Dikha Deta!” (The budget of your makeup man is more than the budget of my film (Rs. 1.5 cr.) and you Bollywood people didn’t let me make the second movie otherwise I would have made a blockbuster).

To this, the actor who was last seen in ‘Bob Biswas” responded with, “Chaliye aap bhi koshish kijiye. Asha karte hain ki is sangharsh me aap safal hon.” (Well you also try, I hope that you achieve success in this struggle).

However, KRK denies making the second movie as he makes it clear that he has quit because he is sure Bollywood mafia will not allow him to do that.

Well, that was certainly a great roasting from AB Junior! What do you say?

Wriddhiman Saha Shared Screenshot Of How A Journalist Warned Him, Sehwag Came Out In Support

The Indian squad for the Sri Lanka 2-match home test series which will start from March 4 has been announced by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) recently and the names of some senior players were found missing from the list.

The selectors have dropped Ajinkya Rahane, Chesteshwar Pujara, Ishant Sharma and Wriddhiman Saha and while talking to the journalists in a virtual press conference, the chief selector Chetan Sharma states that these players have already been informed that they won’t be considered for the Sri Lanka series. He further says that it’s not the selectors who end the career of a player, adding that if a player scores runs and takes wickets, he will certainly play for the country. Chetan Sharma also states that he has asked all the four cricketers to play in the Ranji Trophy.

Though Chetan Sharma talked about Rahane and Pujara’s exclusion, he refused to disclose the reasons behind Saha’s exclusion. Talking about Wriddhiman Saha’s decision of not playing in the Ranji Trophy, Chetan Sharma states that he can’t say anything about it as it doesn’t come in his jurisdiction and this has to be taken care of by the state unit.

On the other hand, the wicketkeeper-batsman Wriddhiman Saha who was a part of the South Africa series but didn’t play a single match made some interesting revelations and a controversy has erupted after he shared a screenshot of his chat with a journalist who was rude to Saha and warned the cricketer of dire consequences as Saha chose not to give an interview to him.

Take a look at the screenshot:

Saha took to the micro-blogging site Twitter and shared the screenshot with the caption, “After all of my contributions to Indian cricket.. this is what I face from a so called “Respected” journalist! This is where the journalism has gone.”

Soon cricket fans started expressing their anger over the manner in which a journalist warned the Indian cricketer. The former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag also took a note of the incident and came out in full support of Saha.

Viru paaji responded with, “Extremely sad. Such sense of entitlement, neither is he respected nor a journalist, just chamchagiri. With you Wriddhi.”

Earlier, Saha also talked about the conversation which he had with the Board officials. Saha was a part of the New Zealand series and got featured in both the test matches as Rishabh Pant was not a part of the team at that time. In that series, Wriddhiman Saha played a gutsy knock of 61 runs in the first innings despite being injured in order to save the team. After this, he received a message from the current President Sourav Ganguly who stated that he doesn’t need to worry about his place in the team as long as he is at the top position. Saha stated that he is not able to understand how the things have changed so fast.

Talking about the conversation that he had with the team management including the head coach Rahul Dravid, 37 years old Saha says that he has been advised to take retirement as he has been told clearly that he won’t be considered for selection in the team in the future.

Who can be this sports journalist according to you?

“Throw Me To The Wolves…” Rohit Sharma’s Old Tweet Goes Viral After He Gets Test Captaincy

There was a lot of speculation as to who will be named as the Indian test team’s new captain after Virat Kohli gave up his test captaincy post losing the test series to South Africa. Many were in support of Rohit Sharma but there were some who wanted someone else to don the skipper’s cap because Rohit Sharma is going to be 35 yrs old soon and age is certainly on his side.

Yesterday (Feb 19), the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the Indian squad for the upcoming India-Sri Lanka series which will start with the first test match being played at Mohali from March 4 and the BCCI also named Rohit Sharma as the new skipper of the Indian test team. Hitman is already leading team India in the white ball formats and he has been pretty successful in the recent past.

It is certainly a big achievement for Rohit Sharma as there was a time when he was not able to secure his berth in the Indian test team and many cricket experts predicted that he may be successful in shorter formats but he is a failure in the longest format. The cricketer’s fans are very happy now and an old tweet of Hitman is going viral in which he defines himself through a quote.

In Sept 2018, Rohit Sharma carried out a Question & Answer session with his followers and fans and one of them asked the Indian skipper to tell a quote which describes him. In response, Rohit Sharma wrote, “Throw me to the wolves and I come back leading the pack”.

While it is certainly a moment to celebrate, it is also true that leading the team in test matches will be a big test for Rohit Sharma. Though there is no denying the fact that he has proved himself as a superb leader since Mumbai Indians has won five IPL titles under his captaincy, fulfilling the responsibility of a skipper in the purest format of the game will be completely different.

What is your take on the decision of appointing Rohit Sharma as the captain of the Indian test team? Do let us know.

Indian Jugaad At Its Best, Bihar Guy Converts Tata Nano Into Helicopter, Rents It For Marriages

The Indian weddings are meant to be big and classy and nowadays couples love to make their wedding functions memorable by doing unique things such as making entry on bikes or while dancing, using helicopters for taking the bride home, getting married underwater or in air, etc.

Hiring a helicopter for wedding purpose can be a costly affair as it may cost around Rs. 2 lakhs; however, a person from Bagaha, Bihar, has come up with a great idea. The name of the person is Guddu Sharma and when he realized that there are many people who want to include helicopter in their wedding plans, he changed the shape of Nano car to helicopter and started giving it on rent in marriages.

Guddu Sharma is a mechanic by profession and he has installed sensors and designed the interiors in such a manner that it really gives the feeling of a helicopter. He has spent around Rs. 1.5 lakhs for this and the rent of his helicopter shaped car is Rs. 15,000.

While some people have called this Guddu Sharma’s artistry, few others have used the popular word Indian jugaad. Guddu has certainly given a very beautiful and affordable option to many bridegrooms who don’t have much money to arrange for a helicopter but this is not the first time that such a thing has happened in the country or in the world.

Earlier another person named Mithilesh Prasad from Bihar’s Chhapra converted his Nano car into helicopter because he wanted to become a pilot but wasn’t able to fulfill his dreams due to personal reasons. It took Mithilesh Prasad seven months to convert his car into helicopter and a total amount of Rs. 7 lakhs was spent on the project. On the other hand, there was a Brazilian person who made a helicopter by using parts from cars which were scrapped.

Well, this is certainly a quite cheap and great option for couples who want to make their wedding unique and unforgettable for guests. Have you also come across any such genius invention? Share with us.
