Disappointed Rahul Tewatia Reacts After Not Being Selected In Team India For Ireland Tour

The Indian cricket team will be playing its 4th T20I game of the 5-match series against South Africa tomorrow at Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Rajkot, and both the remaining matches of the series are must win games for team India if it wishes to win the series as the visitors are already leading by 2-1. Meanwhile the selectors have also announced the Indian squad for the Ireland tour where India will play two-match T20I series at Malahide starting June 26.

Hardik Pandya has been named as the skipper of the team and his deputy will be Bhuvneshwar Kumar. The skipper of Rajasthan Royals Sanju Samson has made a comeback in the national team and Rahul Tripathi, the cricketer who performed pretty well for Sunrisers Hyderabad, has got his maiden call. While Suryakumar Yadav has been called back in the team, KL Rahul and Kuldeep Yadav have not been included because of their injuries.

However, there was one cricketer whose hopes got thrashed after he was not selected for the Ireland tour by the selectors and he made everyone aware of his unhappiness by making a tweet. We are talking about Rahul Tewatia, the cricketer who played few superb innings for his side Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2022 and played an instrumental role in making his team win the IPL title in its debut season. Interestingly, the skipper of GT was Hardik Pandya and he is the one who will lead the team on the Ireland tour.

Rahul Tewatia took to the micro-blogging site Twitter and wrote, “Expectations hurt”.

Rahul Tewatia must be hoping of getting selected because the team which is going to Ireland is relatively less experienced because the senior players will be busy in test assignment against England at that time. The head coach of India, Rahul Dravid will be with the senior team because of which the former Indian cricketer VVS Laxman will fulfill the responsibilities of the coach.

“Just Relax & Pass Time?,” Afridi Questions Virat Kohli’s Attitude For Cricket, Gets Slammed

Shahid Afridi, the former Pakistani cricketer, is one of the most popular cricketers of Pakistan. He is pretty well known in India as well but lately, he has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Recently, he has stated something about the former Indian skipper Virat Kohli which has brought the ire of Indian cricket fans, especially fans of Virat Kohli.

Virat Kohli who enjoys a huge fan following on the social media platforms is going through a lean phase for more than two years. In fact, the cricketer who was pretty much on the path of breaking Sachin Tendulkar’s record of the most international centuries has failed to score a century in over 2 years in any format. The IPL 2022 was also not much fruitful for Virat and many former cricketers advised him to take a break from the game.

He was also not included in the team which is playing 5-match T20I series against South Africa at home as the selectors decided to give the senior players some rest before they leave for England.

While speaking in an interview, the former Pak cricketer Shahid Afridi says that the most important aspect of cricket is the mindset or the attitude of a player and this is what is missing in Virat Kohli at this moment.

Talking about Kohli’s past achievement, Shahid Afridi states that the former RCB skipper achieved huge success in the past because he was restless and didn’t stop at anything until he became number one in each format but the question is whether Virat Kohli is playing with the same motivation in the present times as well. Shahid Afridi further says that there is no doubt Virat has the class but at one fell swoop, the former asks whether Kohli wants to be number one again or he feels that he has achieved everything in his career and he is just in the mood of relaxing now. He continues by saying that attitude is the most important thing and questions whether Virat has that attitude for cricket or not.

Quite obviously, Indian cricket fans were not happy with Shahid Afridi’s statement and this is how they lashed out at the former Pakistani skipper:

It is the first time that Kohli’s attitude has been questioned by any person from the cricket fraternity because everyone knows what importance cricket holds for him. It’s an open secret that Virat is one of the most hard working cricketers whether it is in the gym or in the nets sessions and his hunger for the run hasn’t di*d for sure.

What Virat Kohli is experiencing is nothing new, every legend including Sachin Tendulkar, Sunil Gavaskar, etc. has gone through a lean phase in their career but they have come back strongly and hopefully Virat Kohli will also answer everyone with his bat very soon.

Jonny Bairstow Reveals, “A Lot Of People Said I Should Not Be At IPL & Play County Cricket”

The English cricket team is literally on a roll as it has taken an unassailable lead of 2-0 in the 3-match test series against New Zealand but there is no denying the fact that victory in the second test match which was played at Trent Bridge would have been more special for England than any other win that it has tasted in the recent past.

It won’t be wrong to say that a new era of the English cricket has started under the leadership of new skipper Ben Stokes and new head coach Brendon McCullum as the English cricket team achieved the target of 299 in the second innings for winning the match. Nobody thought that the England squad would prefer to go for a win rather than a draw because rarely we get to see teams taking risk on the last day of the test match.

Jonny Bairstow played an important role in this win as he scored 136 runs for which he played only 92 balls and his innings included 14 fours and 7 sixes. He scored his century in 77 balls and it was the second fastest by any English batter, the fastest being Gilbert Jessop who hit a ton in 76 balls.

Recently in an interview, Jonny Bairstow who is the player of the match of the second test opens up on his innings and gives credit to the IPL for his superb performance. He stated that many people told him to play county cricket and stopped him from going for the IPL. He adds that there is no doubt playing four-day red ball cricket is really good if you are getting ready for a test series but unfortunately, it is quite difficult due to the scheduling of everything in the present scenario.

Jonny Bairstow preferred playing for Punjab Kings in the IPL over playing for Yorkshire in the County Championship and he played some really good innings for his team in the league. Bairstow feels that leaving domestic cricket for franchise tournament is not something which he will advise but at the same time, he adds that playing in the IPL puts you against some of the best cricketers of the world which has its own advantages.

He goes on to say that playing in pressure situations is also helpful for a cricketer and he is really fortunate that he has got to play in one of the best tournaments. One more benefit of playing in the IPL that Jonny Bairstow has talked about is having those gears and more importantly it is to know when to switch them on and when to turn them off.

Other than Jonny Bairstow, the skipper Ben Stokes also played an important innings of 75 runs not out (70 balls, 10 fours & 4 sixes) and contributed in his team’s triumph.

The third test match will start from June 23 and it will be played at Headingley Carnegie.

After One Arranged & One Love Marriage, Woman Fell In Love Again & Eloped With Third Lover

There are times when we get to hear about incidents which look more like a filmy story rather than a real one and today we are going to tell you about one such episode which involves a woman who has got married to three men in a span of five years.

Representational Image

The incident came into limelight a couple of days ago when two men met Seema Surve, Senior Inspector of Mahila Bharosa Cell, Nagpur Police, and narrated the whole matter to her. Both the men wanted to file a complaint against a woman who married both of them and left them for a third person.

The first person is 25 years old Dhiraj who belongs to Nagpur’s Wathoda and is a carpenter by profession. He got married to the woman around 2 years ago and the couple also has a son from their marriage. Some time back, the woman got a call from a wrong number which was from Aurangabad; the person who was on the other side of the line was the second person who met Seema Surve and his name is Pawan.

Representational Image

The woman started chatting and talking to Pawan and soon they fell in love, however she hid the truth about her marriage from him. She told her husband that she was going to her village but the fact was that she started living with Pawan who shifted to Nagpur and started working there to live with the love of his life and they both got married in a temple too.

Things turned uglier further when this woman met someone named Sachin on Instagram and started having an affair with him. Sachin began to visit her when Pawan used to be out of the house and later on she ran away with Sachin and tied the knot with him as well.

Representational Image

As per the reports, police is planning to take an action against the woman because she has committed a fraud by marrying three persons in the last 5 years without officially taking divorce from her previous partners.

Kaun hain yeh log, kahan se aate hain?

Here Is Everything You Need To Know About The Final IPL Media Rights Figures

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is the richest cricket board of the world and it is going to get richer as the media rights of IPL have been sold at sky-high prices to various broadcasters. IPL is undoubtedly one of the biggest and most popular sports events of the world so it is quite obvious that the media rights for the next five years (2023-2027) have been sold at pretty high rates. After the results of media auction, IPL has become the second most lucrative league in terms of earnings per game, the first on the list being National Football League.

There are four different packages (A-D) and before we go in details, let us just tell you that the total amount at which these media rights have been sold is whopping Rs. 48,390.50 crore.

1. Package A (TV rights for the Indian subcontinent):

Disney Star has won the bid for a whopping price of Rs. 23,575 crore for 410 matches for 5 years. One more point which needs to be mentioned here is that the number of matches in IPL will increase to 94 in the future while in the current scenario, only 74 matches are played in the tournament.

– In 2023 & 2024, IPL will have 74 matches

– In 2025 & 2026, IPL will have 84 matches and

– In 2027, IPL will have 94 matches

3. Package C (Digital special bouquet India):

This deal includes 98 matches across 5 years – 18 matches in 2023 & 2024 which includes opening match, four play-off matches and 13 double header games. The number of matches will increase to 20 in 2025 & 2026 and 22 in 2027 as the total number of matches is also going to increase. To make it simple– 18 + 18 + 20 + 20 + 22 = 98.

This package has been bought by Viacom 18 for a price of Rs. 3,258 crore. The base price per match is Rs. 16 crore and the BCCI is going to earn almost double as it has been sold for Rs. 33.24 crore.

Viacom 18 has purchased the rights for South Africa, New Zealand, Australia & UK while the rights for Middle East, North Africa and USA have been bought by Times Internet for a total amount of Rs. 1058 crore for 410 matches.

The BCCI secretary Jay Shah also acknowledged the role of digital revolution in increasing the earnings of BCCI as he tweeted, “Viacom18 bags digital rights with its winning bid of Rs 23,758 cr. India has seen a digital revolution & the sector has endless potential. The digital landscape has changed the way cricket is watched. It has been a big factor in the growth of the game & the Digital India vision.”

He also stated that the revenue generated through IPL will be used for strengthening domestic cricket in India as he wrote in one of his tweets, “The BCCI will utilize the revenue generated from IPL to strengthen our domestic cricket structure starting from grassroots, to boost infrastructure and spruce up facilities across India and enrich the overall cricket-watching experience.”

Jay Shah also shout out to the state cricket associations and IPL franchises to work together and give cricket fans a memorable and rich experience as he tweeted, “Now, it’s time for our state associations, IPL Franchises to work together with the IPL to enhance the fan experience and ensure that our biggest stakeholder – ‘the cricket fan’ is well looked after and enjoys high quality cricket in world-class facilities.”

Woah! That is a huge amount of money!!!!!

Kapil Dev Says Rishabh Pant Needs To Focus Otherwise These 3 Players Will Replace Him

The Indian team finally succeeded in stopping the winning streak of South Africa by defeating it in the third T20I by 48 runs. The match was played yesterday at Dr. Y.S.R. ACA VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, and this was the first win for Rishabh Pant as a skipper.

Well, Rishabh Pant has been touted as a very special player by many former cricketers and on some occasions especially in test matches, he has performed in an exemplary manner too but he hasn’t been able to make a big impact in the short formats. Pant’s performance in the IPL 2022 was not very good and even questions were raised on his captaincy on couple of occasions.

The former Indian cricketer Kapil Dev under whose leadership India won the first ODI World Cup in 1983 feels that Rishabh Pant needs to work more on his skills because he is getting tough competition from Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson and now also from Dinesh Karthik who has made a comeback after 3 years. DK compelled the selectors to include him in the team by performing superbly in the IPL 2022 for his team Royal Challengers Bangalore and it won’t be wrong to say that he played the role of a finisher to a very good extent.

In an interview, Kapil Dev states that if we talk about wicket-keeping and he has to choose one from four of them (Pant, Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson and DK), all of them seem equal to him. He adds that though Ishan, Samson and Pant are more explosive batters yet on any given day, all four can win a match for their team.

He goes on to say that the number one choice for India’s T20 team might be Rishabh Pant but in terms of consistency, Dinesh Karthik is far ahead of Samson, Pant and Ishan Kishan. Kapil Dev is full of praises for DK as he says that undoubtedly Pant is a youngster and he has a lot of cricket left in him but Karthik has huge experience, he started playing before MS Dhoni and he is still playing.

Talking about Wriddhiman Saha, the former Indian cricketer says that he may be a wicketkeeper among all of them but he lacks in the batting department. Kapil Dev is pretty upset with Sanju Samson as he feels that despite being very talented, he is not doing justice to his talent because he performs well in one or two matches and then he does nothing.

As far as match is concerned, toss was won by the visitors and they chose to bowl first. India started well as both the openers – Ruturaj Gaikwad (57 runs, 35 balls, 7 fours & 2 sixes) and Ishan Kishan (54 runs, 35 balls, 5 fours & 2 sixes) produced a partnership of 97 runs for the first wicket and helped their team in putting up a total of 179/5 on the score board. In response, the Proteas were wrapped up by the Indian bowlers at the score of 131 and the Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal was adjudged as the Player of the Match for his bowling figures of 3/20 in his 4 overs.

The fourth T20I will be played on 17th June at Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium which is also popular as Khandheri Cricket Stadium, Rajkot, India.

What do you think of Kapil Dev’s opinion? Do you agree with him? Let us know.

“Impress Virat, You’ll Play In IPL & Maybe For India Too,” Akash Deep Reveals Manoj Tiwary’s Words

Many young Indian cricketers have become popular among the Indian cricket fans because of their good performances in the IPL and Akash Deep is also one of them. The 25 years old pacer who plays for Bengal in the domestic circuits will certainly try to play an important role for his team in the Ranji Trophy semi-final against Madhya Pradesh. Recently, he talked about his campaign in the IPL 2022 in which he played for Royal Challengers Bangalore; he played five matches and took the same number of wickets at an average of 41.0.

Initially Akash Deep was bought by RCB in the IPL 2021 as a replacement of Washington Sundar but he didn’t play any match in the last season. Akash is basically from Bihar and it was in the year 2016 that he moved to Delhi where his elder sister stayed. One of his friends asked him to shift to Kolkata to play club cricket and the right-arm pacer stated that he used to get match fees for playing which was new for him.

Akash Deep revealed that the famous Bengal cricketer Manoj Tiwary who has joined politics now advised him to impress Virat Kohli with his game if he wanted to play in the IPL and for India as well. As per Akash, Manoj Tiwary told him that Virat was the Indian team’s skipper so if he got impressed with his game, he (Akash) might get to play for India and not just in the IPL.

Akash Deep may not have got a chance to play in the IPL 2021 but he kept on working hard in practice matches and in the mega-auctions of the IPL 2022, RCB bought him for the base price of Rs. 20 lakhs.

Akash Deep further said that he grew up watching Dhoni and Kohli play and they were superheroes for him. He never believed that he would ever meet them, leave aside sharing dressing room with them. He added that it was all just like a dream for him.

The pacer added that it was a very emotional moment for him when he was handed over the cap by Virat Kohli and what surprised Akash Deep the most was that the former RCB skipper knew about his struggles and his journey as Virat Kohli told him that he deserved to be here and asked him to enjoy and keep up the good work. As per Akash, the IPL 2022 was a great learning curve for him.

Akash Deep went on to say that sharing the dressing room with the Aussie pacer Josh Hazlewood was really helpful for him as he spent a lot of time with him and talked about many things related to pace bowling such as off-stump line, preparation for the game, how to deal with injuries and workload management, how to remain mentally strong, etc. The pacer stated that there was a time when he used to watch Josh Hazlewood bowling in the YouTube videos and now he was bowling with him in the matches.

Let’s see when Akash Deep gets to wear the blue jersey!
