“When You Come To Mumbai, You Get A Reality Check,” Says SRH’s Shashank Singh On His Journey

Sunrisers Hyderabad had pretty disappointing IPL 2021 but in this season, it is performing pretty well and its players are also making headlines for their superb performances. While Umran Malik has been garnering praises for his lightning speed and fiery bowling, the SRH batter Shashank Singh impressed everyone with his blistering knock in the match against Gujarat Titans.

Though SRH lost that match yet Shashank Singh’s knock of 25 runs not out (6 balls, 1 four & 3 sixes) helped his team in scoring a good total of 195/6. Shashank who plays for Chhattisgarh at the domestic level was bought for Rs. 20 lakhs by the Hyderabad franchise and recently he talked about the early days of his career in an interview which has been shared by the official Twitter handle of SRH.

Shashank says that he has come from the small city of Bhopal and if someone is scoring good at the school and district level, he feels that he is very talented but he got the harsh reality check when he came to Mumbai at the age of 17. He added that when he went to Azad Maidan, Shivaji Park, etc., he saw that there are many players who are more talented than him, have more experience, scored more runs than him and are even younger to him. He went on to say that this opened his eyes and he started working harder.

He was also thankful to his family members as they believed in him and supported him in fulfilling his dream.

“The Greatest Captain Is Back,” Twitter Reacts As Jadeja Hands Over Captaincy Back To Dhoni

MS Dhoni is certainly one of the smartest cricketers of the world and he has a great track record as a skipper whether he led the Indian national team or the IPL team Chennai Super Kings. CSK has won four IPL titles under the captaincy of MSD and there is no denying the fact that for cricket lovers, CSK is synonymous to Dhoni and vice-versa but the truth is that age is not on his side and he will be retiring from the IPL in a couple of years. Keeping this in mind, Dhoni handed over the captaincy of CSK to Ravindra Jadeja before the start of the IPL 2022 but things didn’t go as expected.

Ravindra Jadeja is one of the finest all-rounders of the present times but he had a disastrous start to his captaincy stint in the IPL 2022. Till now, CSK has won only 2 matches out of 8 that it played and Jadeja has also failed to impress with the bat as well. With almost no chance of entering the play-offs, CSK is left with an option to play for respect and pride but today CSK has made an official announcement which has surprised many.

As per the announcement, Ravindra Jadeja has requested MS Dhoni to lead CSK once again as he wants to focus more on his game and Mahi has also agreed in the larger interest of the team.

The official handle of CSK tweeted, “Jadeja to handover CSK captaincy back to MS Dhoni: Ravindra Jadeja has decided to relinquish captaincy to focus and concentrate more on his game & has requested MS Dhoni to lead CSK. MS Dhoni has accepted to lead CSK in the larger interest & to allow Jadeja to focus on his game.”

As the tweet went viral, netizens started expressing their views in this regard. While the majority was happy with this decision, there were few who wanted Jadeja to continue as CSK has almost no chance of making it to the play-offs and by leading in the remaining matches, Jadeja would have learnt some valuable lessons of captaincy.

Here are some selected reactions:

MS Dhoni has led CSK since the inaugural edition of the IPL which took place in 2008 but the big question is who will lead CSK after Dhoni because Jadeja has certainly failed badly. Who do you think will be the apt choice for becoming the captain of CSK post Dhoni’s retirement?

Chetan Sakariya Opens Up On His Dragon Ball Z Celebration After Bowling Out Aaron Finch

The young Indian pacer Chetan Sakariya played his first match in the IPL 2022 against Kolkata Knight Riders a couple of days ago and he instantly made headlines for his unique celebration style.

Chetan Sakariya who is presently playing for Delhi Capitals made his debut in the tournament last year for Rajasthan Royals but the franchise released him ahead of the mega-auctions for the IPL 2022. The pacer who was purchased for Rs. 1.20 crore by RR attracted a good amount of Rs. 4.20 crore by Delhi Capitals in the mega auction. In the match which was played between DC and KKR, Chetan Sakariya bowled out Aaron Finch in the second over of the KKR innings and then he celebrated it in Dragon Ball Z style (crossed his arms in front and put two fingers on his forehead).

A video was posted on the official Instagram account of the Indian Premier League in which Kuldeep Yadav and Chetan Sakariya were having a chat in which the latter disclosed the reason behind his celebration. When Kuldeep Yadav asked him about his celebration style, Chetan stated that it was an emotional celebration as it was for his father who always wanted to see him dismiss an international batter. Chetan’s father Mr. Kanjibhai Sakariya succumbed to COVID-19 last year when his son made his IPL debut.

In the video, Chetan Sakariya asked Kuldeep about his plan for bowling in the match and also about the tweet made by Yuzvendra Chahal after Kuldeep won the Player of the Match award for his superb bowling (4/14).

Story Of IAS Officer Abhishek Surana Who Left His Lucrative Singapore Job For Serving India

Majority of the Indian youngsters aim for getting a good job overseas after completing their studies so that they can settle over there and live a good life but there are few youngsters for whom serving the nation is the aim of their lives.

We are going to tell you about one such youngster who completed his studies from one of the best institutes of India and got employed in a good firm in foreign land but he left his high-paid job for the Indian Civil Services.

Abhishek Surana who is basically from Rajasthan’s Bhilwara completed his electrical engineering from IIT-Delhi and after that, he worked in Barclays Investment Bank, Singapore, for around one and a half years. His next job was in mobile-based startup which was in Chile and the governments in South America had provided funds for it.

However, Abhishek Surana was not happy with his life as he felt that there was something missing in it. He then took a big decision of resigning from the job, returning to India and preparing for UPSC examinations. He didn’t get through in the first attempt which he gave in 2014 and the same thing happened in the second attempt as well. He secured 250 rank in the third attempt but he was not eligible for the Indian Administrative Services so he gave another attempt in 2018 and this time his rank was 10 at the all-India level.

In an interview, Abhishek Surana talked about his daily routine as he told that he used to wake up at 5:30 am and go to gym by 6:00 am. After one hour of exercising, he used to return to his room in Rajinder Nagar, Delhi, which is a hub for IAS aspirants. He added that after having his breakfast, he left for library and studied over there for around 12 hours with short breaks in between.

Currently, Abhishek Surana is serving as the Chief Executive Officer, Zila Parishad, Jodhpur.

He is certainly an inspiration for youngsters and we wish him luck for all his future endeavours!

Sonu Sood, Kangana Ranaut & RGV React To Ajay Devgn Calling Hindi National Language

The Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn was at the receiving end of many online users after he made a tweet to the southern star Sudeep Kiccha and stated that Hindi is India’s national language. The incident started when during a function, while speaking on the huge success of Yash starrer “KGF 2”, Kiccha Sudeep said that Hindi is no more a national language of the country.

In response, Ajay Devgn made a tweet in Hindi in which he asked Sudeep that if Hindi is not our national language, why southern movies are dubbed in Hindi and released in the Hindi speaking states. the matter between both the actors was settled after a little chat but it has once again started the debate of whether Hindi is our national language or not. While the north Indians especially from the Hindi speaking belt consider Hindi as the national language, the citizens of southern states consider it as an attempt to impose Hindi on them.

After this incident, many celebs including Sonu Sood and Ram Gopal Varma have also jumped in this debate and expressed their views over the matter.

Sonu Sood says that he feels Hindi can’t be called the national language because the nation has only one language and that is entertainment. He further adds that it really doesn’t matter from which industry a person belongs to but if he is able to entertain people, he will not only get the love of public but will also be honored by them. He concludes by saying that only good cinema is going to be accepted.

On the other hand, the famous producer-director Ram Gopal Varma alleges that the north Indian actors are jealous and insecure of the southern actors.

He tweeted, “The base undeniable ground truth @KicchaSudeep sir is that the north stars are insecure and jealous of the south stars because a Kannada dubbing film #KGF2 had a 50 crore opening day and we all are going to see the coming opening days of Hindi films”.

Later on in an interview, RGV said that the Kannada actor Sudeep Kiccha hinted towards a truth when he asked Ajay Devgn what if he had replied in Kannada in response to the tweet made by Ajay in Hindi and this has made everyone realize that there is nothing like north or south, there is just one India. RGV further says that Ajay Devgn doesn’t realize this truth but Sudeep Kiccha understands it.

The actress turned politician Divya Spandana who is better known as Ramya also slammed Ajay Devgn as she tweeted, “No- Hindi is not our national language. @ajaydevgn Your ignorance is baffling. And it’s great that films like KGF, Pushpa and RRR have done so well in the Hindi belt- art has no language barrier. Please enjoy our films as much as we enjoy yours- #stopHindiImposition”

Nevertheless, the Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut has supported Ajay Devgn by saying that as per the constitution of India, Hindi is our national language but at one fell swoop, she also suggests that Sanskrit should be our national language as many languages have stemmed out of it and it should be taught compulsorily in schools.

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

Neolla Lewis was a receptionist in Pune’s Hotel Blue Diamond and after getting divorced with her, Vinod Kambli got married to model Andrea Hewitt and also converted to Christianity.

4. Javagal Srinath:

In 2008, Srinath got married to Madhavi Patravali who is a journalist by profession.

5. Yograj Singh:

Yograj Singh is better known as father of Yuvraj Singh, the famous former Indian cricketer, and he mostly makes headlines because of his controversial statements. Yograj’s cricketing career was pretty short-lived after which he shifted his focus towards the Punjabi movie industry and in the present times, he is a known name in the Punjabi cinema. Yograj’s first marriage was with Shabnam (Yuvraj’s mother) who belonged to a Muslim family but their marriage didn’t last long due to huge differences between them in regard to their choices in life.

We offer our best wishes to the former Indian cricketer Arun Lal and his bride Bulbul Saha on their new beginning.

“I Think He’s Semi-Cemented His Spot In Team India,” Dale Steyn Showers Praises On Umran Malik

The young SRH pacer Umran Malik has impressed everyone with his superb and fiery bowling as he is not only taking wickets but also bowling at a high speed of around 150 kmph.

He registered his best bowling figures in the IPL 2022 in the last match of SRH which was against the new IPL team Gujarat Titans. Though SRH lost this nail-biting contest yet Umran Malik shined like a star as he was adjudged as the Player of the Match for his lethal bowling, he took 5 wickets in his overs and conceded only 25 runs.

In that match, Umran literally shocked everyone when he bowled Wriddhiman Saha out on a Yorker which he bowled at the speed of 153 kmph and it was really a wonderful sight for a pacer when the bails flew in air and stumps fell down on the ground.

The 22 years old pacer from Jammu & Kashmir is the third on the list of Purple Cap after taking 15 wickets, Rajasthan Royal’s Yuzvendra Chahal is at the top position with 18 wickets followed by Delhi Capitals’ Kuldeep Yadav who has taken 17 wickets.

Umran Malik has been making people crazy with his lightning speed and even few politicians including P. Chidambaram have also noticed this young talent and demanded that the BCCI should pay extra attention on him. The bowling coach of SRH, Dale Steyn was all praises for Umran Malik and after the match, he talked about what went wrong for SRH and also gave his views on the performance of Umran Malik.

Talking about Umran Malik in a video posted by SRH, Dale Steyn said that Umran was just fantastic and he has certainly semi-cemented his place in the Indian team in the future. Steyn further added that the conditions were totally conducive for him (Umran) just like for someone like Shami which hit the ground hard. According to the former South African pacer, Umran Malik was just marvelous as he was quick while bowling straight and disturbed the batters a lot.

SRH will be playing its next match against Chennai Super Kings on May 1 at Pune’s Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium and it will definitely like to get its winning momentum back. CSK is already in a very poor condition as it has won only 2 matches out of 8 that it played and there are almost no chances of CSK making it to the play-offs.

What do you have to say about Umran Malik?
