“Put Ajinkya Rahane On The Bench,” Angry Fans React After His Dismal Performance Against DC

Kolkata Knight Riders would have secured the top position in the IPL points tally if it had won its fifth match in the IPL 2022 which was against Delhi Capitals. The match was played yesterday at Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai and KKR chose to bowl first after winning the toss. DC got a great start as its star batsman David Warner (61) and Prithvi Shaw (51) produced the partnership of 93 runs for the first wicket and gave a pretty good platform to their team for making a big score. However, the DC middle order crumbled a little as skipper Rishabh Pant was got out for 27 and then it lost quick wickets in the form of Lalit Yadav (1) and Rovma Powell (08). Axar Patel (22) and Shardul Thakur (29) managed the situation in a good manner and in the end, DC posted a huge total of 215/5 on the score board.

In response, KKR had a bad start as its openers Ajinkya Rahane (8) and Venkatesh Iyer (18) got out early. Though the skipper Shreyas Iyer (54) tried to take things on the right track with the help of Nitish Rana (30) and Andre Russell (24), KKR lost the match by a big margin of 44 runs and this left KKR fans bitterly disappointed.

Soon the micro-blogging site Twitter was flooded with tweets in which fans expressed their annoyance and anger and majority of them suggested that out of form Ajinkya Rahane should be replaced with any other player such as Sunil Narine, Rinku Singh, Aman Khan, Sheldon Jackson, Abhijeet Tomar, etc. while Rahane should be benched.

As far as the IPL 2022 is concerned, Ajinkya Rahane has scored 44, 9, 12, 7 and 8 in the five matches that he has played and in the match against DC, his strike rate was around 57 which is unacceptable for an opener, especially when the team is chasing a decent target of 216 runs.

Ajinkya Rahane was already struggling with his form when he was bought by KKR in the mega-auction for the IPL 2022. He has also been dropped from the Indian test team because of his poor form and now there are good chances that he will be sitting on the bench in the KKR dug-out as well. What do you say?

Ashneer Grover’s Sister & BharatPe CEO’s Fight Sets Twitter On Fire With Hilarious Memes

Ashneer Grover, the co-founder of BharatPe became a household name after the business reality show Shark Tank India got aired on the television. Shark Tank India gave many business owners a chance to get funding for their businesses by making a presentation about their product or business in front of the investors who were known as sharks. The show was an adaptation of an American show of the same name and Ashneer Grover was certainly the bluntest shark in the panel of the Indian sharks who gave rude remarks to those business owners whom he felt have useless products or they are wasting their time.

However, now the situation is a little different as Ashneer Grover has been accused of misappropriation of funds by BharatPe management and while Ashneer’s wife has been sacked, he was also made to put his papers and all the titles in the company have been snatched from him.

Recently, Ashneer Grover got an opportunity to take a dig at the BharatPe management as an employee of the company Karan Sarki made a post on LinkedIn in which he requested the co-founder Shashvat Nakrani and CEO Suhail Sameer to pay their salaries of March. Karan also says that the old staff has been removed by the management without giving any reason whatsoever and their reimbursement bills also haven’t been paid since December. He also states that he and others who had been with the company since its beginning are now nowhere because of the internal politics of the top brass. He goes on to allege that the staff of BharatPe is enjoying a paid trip to Goa but engraved employees like him are not even getting their salary.

Here is the post:

Ashneer Grover also took a jibe at the management and asked them to pay the salary of the employees before anything else:

Soon Ashneer Grover’s sister also jumped into the bandwagon and called the top management a shameless bunch:

It was then that the CEO Suhail Sameer decided to respond but his style of responding was certainly inappropriate as he wrote, “Aashima behen – tere bhai ne saara Paisa Chura liya (Your brother has stolen all the money). Very little left to pay salaries”.

Suhail Sameer realized that he crossed the limits and he also apologized for it:

However it was too late till then and the Indian Twitterati was already having fun at their expense. Here are some selected reactions:

Yami Gautam Gave A Mouth-Shutting Reply To Anupama Chopra’s Platform For Its Review Of “Dasvi”

The Indian cinema is recovering in a great manner after facing wrath of the COVID-19 pandemic for almost two years and now the moviemakers have also shed their inhibitions of releasing films on digital platforms instead of cinema halls. Recently Abhishek Bachchan, Nimrat Kaur and Yami Gautam starrer “Dasvi” got released on OTT channel and it got mixed reviews from audiences and critics alike.

However, Yami Gautam got angry with the manner in which Anupama Chopra’s Film Companion reviewed the movie and the performances of the actors, especially of Yami. The “Kaabil” actress took to the micro-blogging site Twitter and slammed the entertainment portal in a series of tweet.

She writes that though she takes criticism in a constructive manner, it becomes necessary to speak when a portal tries to pull you down consistently. She also posts a screenshot from the review that is about her performance and which she finds really disrespectful especially when her recent movies include “A Thursday”, “Uri: The Surgical Strike” and “Bala”. Yami also speaks about how it hurts when it takes many years of hard work and determination especially for a self-made actor to prove his/her caliber and some big portals try to demean the actor.

Check out the tweets by Yami Gautam:

Yami also states that there was a time when she looked up to Film Companion but she doesn’t feel the need to do it anymore and she also requests the portal not to review her performances in the future.

Soon netizens also started reacting and majority was in support of the actress, however Film Companion also responded to Yami Gautam by tweeting, “Dear Yami. We are sorry you feel that way. Please be assured, that there was no disrespect meant. Thank you.”

While some online users feel that Film Companion is always against the self-made actors as they support the products of nepotism, there are many who strongly believe that this all has happened because Yami has not only praised Vivek Agnihotri’s “The Kashmir Files” but also asked people to watch it.

Here are some selected Twitter reactions:

The filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri also made no delay in lending support to Yami Gautam as he tweeted, “Bravo, @yamigautam for speaking up. You need no certificates for your talent from this vicious mafia led by @anupamachopra”.

Well, critics may play an important role in making an actor understand what he is missing from his work but being rude is certainly not justified.

“Symonds & Franklin Tied My Hands & Legs, Taped My Mouth & Forgot About Me,” Reveals Chahal

The Indian cricket world and cricket fans are literally in a state of shock after Yuzvendra Chahal and Robin Uthappa made some shocking revelations in the past couple of days. What has left people more annoyed is the fact that both the incidents have taken place in the IPL franchise Mumbai Indians which has won 5 IPL titles till date and has been represented by the legendary former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar in the past.

While Robin Uthappa was bullied by someone whose name he didn’t disclose, what was experienced by Yuzi was traumatic. In a chat with Ravichandran Ashwin, Robin Uthappa who is playing for Chennai Super Kings in this season revealed that this incident happened just one month before IPL 2009. As per Uthappa, he was one of the first players along with Manish Pandey and Zaheer Khan to get transferred to other teams but as he didn’t want to leave MI, he was bullied by someone who told him that if he didn’t sign the transfer papers, he would not be in the playing XI of MI. Eventually, Uthappa signed the transfer papers and as he was going through something in personal life at that time, it transformed into depression when he was in Royal Challengers Bangalore.

On the other hand, in a video posted by Rajasthan Royals recently, Yuzi talked about an incident which happened in 2013. Though he did not disclose the name of that player, he told that the player was very drunk and he hung him from the 15th floor balcony and Chahal might have lost his life if he had not held that player’s neck strongly. He further stated that luckily other people came, handled the situation in a proper manner and saved him.

However, this was not the first time that Yuzi faced such a situation, earlier in a podcast interview he revealed one more horrifying incident which happened with him. He stated in 2011, they were in a hotel in Chennai after winning the Champions League and he was with Andrew Symonds and James Franklin. Yuzi said that Symonds and Franklin had drunk a lot of fruit juice after which they both tied his hands and legs and told him to untie himself. He further said that they were under so much influence of that fruit juice that they also taped his mouth. The party got over but they didn’t untie Yuzi as they forgot about the Indian spinner. Eventually he got free when a cleaner came in the morning and freed him.

The podcast interviewer asked Chahal whether Symonds and Franklin apologized to him in the morning, in response Chahal told that they didn’t apologize but they said that when they drink too much of juice, they are not able to handle it and they don’t even remember anything.

Many former Indian cricketers including Virender Sehwag and Ravi Shastri have reacted strongly to the revelations made by Yuzi and stated that the name of that drunken player should be revealed and an action should be taken against him because what happened with Chahal is not at all funny.

Though Andrew Symonds was involved in such a bad incident with Yuzi, the Indian spinner has stated many times that he and Symonds are very good friends now, they both go fishing when Chahal visits Australia and Symonds’ wife has also learnt how to cook Butter Chicken for him.

What is your opinion in regard to this incident? Do let us know.

Rohit Warrier & Niti Rejected By Sharks Share A Video To Show How Useful Their Products Are

The first season of the business reality show Shark Tank India may have got over 2 months ago but the social media users are still busy talking about it. In this show, many aspiring entrepreneurs tried their best to attract the investors (sharks) by making a presentation or a pitch about their business so as to convince the sharks to invest in their businesses. The panel of the sharks included Anupam Mittal, Aman Gupta, Ashneer Grover, Peyush Bansal, Vineeta Singh, Namita Thapar and Ghazal Alagh.

While some got funding from the sharks, few had to go empty-hand; however, there were also some who not only went empty-hand but also got slammed for their products. Ashneer Grover was specially known for going heavily on the contestants if he did not like their products and two such business owners were Rohit Warrier and Niti Singhal.

Rohit Warrier is the founder and director of Sippline which produces mask for glass and Ashneer referred to his product as the most wahiyat (pathetic) product he had ever seen. Niti is the founder of Twee In One, customizable fashion lining and Ashneer said to her that nobody would wear her dresses, though later on when the Shark Tank team visited The Kapil Sharma Show, Ashneer’s wife was seen wearing the dress which was gifted by Niti Singhal. Niti even talked about it in one of her Instagram posts and said that when she was Ashneer’s wife in that dress, she got reminded of the statement that Ashneer says quite a lot, i.e., “Yeh sab dogalapan hai”.

Now these two entrepreneurs came together and as they met in a café, they also tried to prove that their products are quite useful unlike what the sharks felt. Niti posted the video with the caption, “Weird pitches? Not so weird now!”

Here is the Instagram post:

“Drunk Player Hung Me From 15th Floor Balcony,” Chahal Reveals Scary Incident From MI Days

Yuzvendra Chahal is certainly one of the most famous cricketers of India and it is not just his cricketing skills that have impressed the Indian cricket fans but his online presence has also helped him in garnering a huge fan following.

While we have seen Yuzi always smiling and in a cheerful mood, there is one secret of his life that is spine-chilling and it was revealed in a video which was posted by the IPL franchise Rajasthan Royals. The caption on the video read, “Royals’ comeback stories ke saath, aapke agle 7 minutes hum #SambhaalLenge”

The video features Ravichandran Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal and Karun Nair and all three of them narrated a story of their lives which is not known to many people and made them learn something. While Karun Nair’s story was about the fickleness of life and Ashwin went back to his engineering days, the story of Yuzi may scare you a little.

As per Chahal, not many people know about this story as he hasn’t spoken about it till now. The incident dated back to 2013 when he was a part of Mumbai Indians. There was a match in Bangalore after which a get-together was planned wherein one cricketer who was very drunk was constantly looking at Chahal. Yuzi said that after some time a player called him, took him outside and hung him from the balcony.

The spinner further said that they were on the 15th floor and Yuzi had hold that player by placing his hands behind the drunk player’s neck but if his hands had slipped, he would have lost his life. Chahal said that soon other people came, handled the situation and gave him water as he was almost in a faint condition. Yuzi said that this incident made him learn that we need to be responsible whenever we go somewhere.

Though Chahal hasn’t revealed the name of the drunken player, his fans have taken to social media and requested him to tell who that player is and #JusticeforChahal has also started trending on Twitter. Surprisingly, no one talked about it till now but the big question is whether the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Mumbai Indians will think of taking an action in this regard or not.

LSG’s Ayush Badoni Celebrates Like Virat Kohli After Smashing Six Against DC

The Indian Premier League, one of the biggest sporting events of the world, is known for giving youngsters a platform to showcase their talent and it won’t be wrong to say that many Indian cricketers have made it to the national team because of their performances in the IPL.

Ayush Badoni, the 22 years old Indian cricketer who is a part of the new IPL team Lucknow Super Giants, has become a household name in India because of his fearless style of batting and he is being considered as the next big thing in the Indian cricket. Ayush Badoni has played an important role for his team LSG which has won 3 matches out of 4 that it has played and is at the second position in the points table.

In the IPL match which was played yesterday between LSG and Delhi Capitals, Ayush Badoni may have played just 3 deliveries and scored 10 runs but his celebration style after hitting the winning six has once again made him the talk of the town.

The match was played at Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai, and the toss was won the Lucknow franchise which decided to bowl first. DC lost its star batsman David Warner (4) quite early followed by Rovman Powell (3) but skipper Rishabh Pant (39) and Prithvi Shaw (61) stabilized the innings. Sarfaraz Khan also played a useful innings of 36 runs because of which DC manage to put up a decent total of 149/3 in the stipulated 20 overs.

In response, LSG had a good start as its openers KL Rahul (24) and Quinton de Kock (80) produced a partnership of 73 runs for the first wicket but things turned a little in favor of DC when Evin Lewis (5) and Deepak Hooda (11) got out early. However, Krunal Pandya played a useful knock of 19 runs but it was Ayush Badoni who stole the limelight in the end. When LSG needed one run to win in the remaining three deliveries, Ayush Badoni smashed Shardul Thakur for a six; then he pointed towards his name at the back side of his jersey and came up with a fist pump while celebrating the victory.

Soon cricket lovers recalled that the former Indian skipper Virat Kohli also celebrated in the same manner and at the same time, it showed how much former RCB skipper has influenced the youngsters.

There were few who felt that Ayush Badoni is being arrogant by celebrating in such a manner but one Twitter user narrated the reason behind this celebration style of Badoni. The online user stated that DC scouts asked Ayush Badoni to clear three trials and in each one of them, he scored a fifty playing less than 20 balls but DC didn’t even bid for him in the mega-auction.

Here is what the Twitter user who is a sports journalist wrote, “#AyushBadoni was asked to clear 3 levels of trials by @DelhiCapitals scouts. Last one during the 3rd wave in Mumbai. He smacked 50 in less than 20 balls in each of them. Then they didn’t even bid. The fist pump after kil*ing the game said it all. #LSGvsDC #IPL2022”

The LSG skipper KL Rahul is also pretty happy with Badoni and he praised the youngster after the match for playing well under pressure and delivering for the team.
