In her post, she stated that she started her journey as a little girl who wanted to wear the Indian jersey as representing one’s country is the highest honour and the last 23 years of her life have been the most challenging, fulfilling and enjoyable as well. She further wrote that every time she stepped on the field, she tried her best to make India win and now she feels that it is perfect time for her to hang her boots as the Indian cricket is in safe hands of some young Indian cricketers and there is no doubt that future of the Indian cricket is very bright.

She thanked the BCCI and Jay Shah for the support that she got as a player and a skipper and she also thanked her fans for their love and support. Mithali also added that leadership of the Indian women’s team certainly shaped her as a human and she tried to shape the women’s cricket to the best of her capability. Mithali Raj hinted that she may have taken retirement but she will still like to remain involved in the game and help in growth of the women cricket in India and all over the world as well.

Rahul Dravid Gives An Apt Reply To People Questioning Rohit Sharma’s Absence From SA Series

The Indian cricket team is going to play a 5-match T20I series against South Africa starting from June 9 and the first match will be played at Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi. As the COVID-19 restrictions have been removed, all 5 matches will be played at different 5 venues, 2nd T20I (June 12) will be played at Cuttack’s Barabati Stadium, 3rd T20I (June 14) will be played at Dr. Y.S.R. ACA VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam, 4th T20I (June 17) will be played at Rajkot’s Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium and the 5th and final T20I (June 19) will be played at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru.

KL Rahul will be leading the team in this series as the Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has been rested by the Board of Control for Cricket in India along with the other senior players – Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah. Rishabh Pant has been appointed as the vice-captain of the team in this series. However, there are few former Indian cricketers including RP Singh who feel that Rohit Sharma should have played in the series and there was no need of giving him a break.

Now, the Indian head coach Rahul Dravid has spoken on this matter and answered all those who are questioning Rohit Sharma’s absence from the SA series. Dravid states that Rohit Sharma plays in all the three formats and it should not be expected from him to be available for all the series. Dravid further adds that it is really important to give rest to the players who are an important part of the team.

India and South Africa have faced each other 15 times in T20Is, out of which India has won 9 matches and South Africa has won 6 matches. In a question related to records, Rahul Dravid says that he doesn’t give much importance to records, adding that the team will need to play good cricket for winning the matches and even if it has tasted defeat, it will be a learning experience for the squad.

Earlier, Rohit Sharma had a disastrous IPL 2022 as he wasn’t able to score a single fifty in the tournament and his team Mumbai Indians ended the tournament at last position in the points table with only 4 wins in 14 matches played by it.

Which team do you think will win the series – India or South Africa?

“Koi Roko Isko,” People Troll Rishabh Pant’s ‘Mid Portion’ In Deepak Chahar’s Viral Reception Pic

The Indian cricketer Deepak Chahar who got ruled out of the IPL 2022 because of his injury was in news lately because of his marriage with Jaya Bharadwaj which took place on June 1 in Agra. If you remember, Deepak proposed his girlfriend Jaya in the stadium after the last league match of his team Chennai Super Kings against Punjab Kings in the IPL 2021.

A grand reception was given at Delhi’s Kamal Mahal in ITC Maurya Hotel which was attended by many people from the cricket fraternity. Now photos from the reception are going viral and one cricketer is grabbing netizens’ attention the most but unfortunately for all the wrong reasons.

In one photograph, Deepak Chahar is seen posing with many cricketers including Rishabh Pant, the skipper of IPL team Delhi Capitals. Soon the pic went viral, people started talking about the mid-portion of Rishabh Pant and questions were raised on his fitness level.

First of all, take a look at the pic which has brought Rishabh Pant in the line of fire of the Indian cricket fans:

As you can see, Rishabh Pant is standing in the right corner and soon Twitterati started slamming him for not remaining fit. Here are some reactions:

Rishabh Pant was not able to make much impact in the IPL2022 neither with his captaincy nor with his bat and DC ended the tournament at the fifth position with 7 wins and 7 loses in 14 matches played by it. In fact, Rishabh Pant was also slammed for his poor behaviour and attitude during a league match against Rajasthan Royals in which he asked his batters to leave the field after he was not happy with the umpire’s decision and many former cricketers raised questions on his capability to lead the team.

Though he was quick behind the wickets in the tournament, fitness is of great importance for a sportsperson and no player can afford have a bulged mid-portion especially when there are so many other players working hard to replace him in the team.

Rishabh Pant has been appointed as the vice-captain of the team which will be playing 5-match T20I series against South Africa starting June 9 at Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi. The senior cricketers such as Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, etc. have been rested for this series and KL Rahul will be leading the team in the absence of Rohit Sharma.

Hopefully Rishabh Pant will work on his fitness and get back in shape soon.

Indian TV Serial Shows Doctor Using BP Monitor To Check Blood Sugar Level, Twitter Goes WTF

Saath Nibhaana Saathiya is one of the most popular Indian television serials of all times and fans of the show are still missing the old times despite the fact that its second season is on air at the moment.

Saath Nibhaana Saathiya’s first episode was aired on 23rd July 2017 and the serial went off-air after more than 2K episodes were telecasted. We got to see many unbelievable things happening on this show; for example – for the first time in our lives, we got see how a laptop gets washed using soap and water and so on.

Recently, a Twitter user posted a video clip from the show in which it is shown that a doctor measured the sugar level using the blood pressure monitoring machine. The Twitter user shared the video clip with the caption, “BP apparatus can check sugar levels” with laughing emojis.

If you have watched the show, you might recall this scene:

There is no denying the fact that it was something quite hilarious and illogical but if you are aware of Indian TV serials, this is nothing to be surprised. Logic and Indian TV serials stay far from each other as earlier also we have seen some very stupid sequences such as leading lady turning into fly or coming back to life after d*ing, doctors using scotch brite for giving electric shocks, someone getting choked in a ridiculous way like her dupatta getting stuck in a table fan or the woman draping curtain around her neck and so on. Logic, science and even brain have no relation with these shows, their makers and their audiences, after all such shows are made because there are people who watch them with keen interest!

Ab ee gola me nahi rehna….

Umran Malik Recalled How His Mother Unconditionally Supported His Passion For Cricket

Umran Malik, the sensational SRH pacer who made everyone go crazy with his fiery bowling in the IPL 2022 has been selected in the Indian squad for the 5-match T20I home series against South Africa starting June 9. He was terrific during the league as he bowled at the speed of around 150 km/hr and won the award for “Fast Delivery” in all the 14 matches that he played for his team Sunrisers Hyderabad. Though SRH was not able to make it to the play-offs, Umran Malik has been awarded as the emerging player of the season and his fans are quite hopeful that he will certainly make his debut in this upcoming T20I series against South Africa.

During an interview, Umran Malik stated that his mother supported him a lot and never worried about the damage of window glass panes when he used to play with plastic ball in his younger days. He said that in his young days, he used to play with plastic ball and many times he broke the window glasses because of which he got scolded as well but his mother still used to encourage him to play, saying “khel, tod” (play, break).

The pacer from Jammu also talks about his father who is a fruit vendor by profession. He says that his grandfather, uncle and father are working on that shop and even if he starts playing for the country, it won’t mean that his father will stop working or he will ask his father to stop working because his father has always told him that they will remain there only from where they have risen. He adds that he comes from an average family and he is really proud of the fact that he has made his father proud.

The first T20I match between India and South Africa will be played on June 9 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi. In this series, the Indian team will be led by KL Rahul as the Board of Control for Cricket in India has decided to give rest to senior players including the skipper Rohit Sharma and the other cricketers who have been rested are Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami.

Let’s hope Umran Malik gets a good debut.
