“Not Bothered,” South African Pacer Anrich Nortje Reacts To Comparisons With Umran Malik

The fourth T20I between India and South Africa will be played today and many cricket fans are hoping to see Umran Malik making his debut in today’s match. The young pacer from Jammu made headlines as he bowled regularly at around 150 km/hr in the IPL 2022 in which he played for Sunrisers Hyderabad. He took 22 wickets in the league which certainly helped him in getting the call for national duty despite the fact that some former cricketers have expressed their concern over his economy rate which was around 9 in the tournament.

Recently, South Africa’s Anrich Nortje who is also one of the fastest pacers of the world spoke on many issues including who will be the fastest and whether he is really bothered about the speed. Earlier, record of the second fastest (156.20 km/h) and the third fastest (155.21 km/h) delivery in the IPL was in the name of Anrich Nortje but in the IPL 2022, Umran Malik broke his record of the second fastest delivery by bowling at the speed of 157 km/hr in an IPL match and then he went on to bowl the fourth fastest delivery of the IPL in the same over.

Talking in the pre-match conference, Anrich Nortje states that at this level, he is not really concerned as to who the fastest is because what matters the most is how much you contribute towards the team. He adds that when he is not playing but training, at that time he thinks about how he can bowl faster but it is not the case when he is playing on the field. He further says that Umran Malik is a really good fast bowler and if he bowls faster than him (Anrich Nortje), it will be great for him and if the things are vice-versa, then too it will be great for him. However at the end of the day, it will be about winning matches and contributing in the team’s success.

The Proteas pacer played in the IPL 2022 for Delhi Capitals and took 12 wickets in the 8 matches that he played for the team and his economy rate was just a little over than 6.

The 4th match will be played at Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Rajkot, and both the teams will like to win this match. If the visitors win it, they will win the series whereas on the other hand, India needs to attain victory in this match in order to keep themselves alive in the series as the visitors are already ahead by 2-1.

Do you think Umran Malik will get to debut today?

Ruturaj Gaikwad Trolled Chahal When He Asked About His Athleticism In INDvsSA 3rd T20I

The fourth T20I match of the 5-match series will be played today at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Rajkot, Gujarat, and it is a must win match for the hosts as the Proteas are already leading by 2-1 in the series. The South African cricket team played some wonderful cricket in the first two matches and won them but team India made a comeback in the third match with the help of superb performances of Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan and Yuzvendra Chahal.

While the openers Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan played superb innings of 57 runs (35 balls, 7 fours & 2 sixes) and 54 runs (35 balls, 5 fours & 2 sixes), respectively and helped their team in putting up a total of 179/5 on the score board, the spinner Yuzvendra Chahal took important wickets of Dwaine Pretorius, Rassie van der Dussen and Heinrich Klaasen. The Proteas got all out for 131, India won the match by 48 runs and Chahal was honoured with the Player of the Match award for his superb figures of 3/20 in 4 overs.

We all know that Yuzi also manages Chahal TV which is aired on the BCCI’s website and this time, it was Ruturaj Gaikwad who appeared as the guest on the show. During the chat, Yuzi asked Gaikwad about the athleticism which was showed by him when Anrich Nortje bowled a beautiful bouncer to him after the Indian batter scored 20 runs in his over.

Ruturaj Gaikwad replies in a funny manner as he thanks his trainers first for using core strength of the players in a good manner and then said to Chahal that when people like him go to gym, it keeps them motivated. Both the cricketers laughed out loud after Chahal asked Gaikwad what he means by people like him.

Both Ruturaj Gaikwad and Yuzvendra Chahal were not able to make much impact in the first two matches but they both got their touch back in the third match and it won’t be wrong to say that they got it at the correct time, when team needed it the most.

KJo Feels Era Of Superstardom Is Over, Today’s Actors Do not Have Aura & Magic Of SRK & Big B

Many times we have heard discussions about superstardom enjoyed by the senior actors such as Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan or late Dilip Kumar and whether there will be any star or actor of the future generation who will enjoy such stardom. While some actors of the present generation are brilliant as far as their craft is concerned yet the big question is whether they have that aura as these big names of Bollywood have.

Well, the famous producer-director Karan Johar opened up on this matter in a recent interview. He says that he doesn’t feel there will any other actor who will enjoy such superstardom and it has nothing to do with performances of their movies in the recent past. KJo goes on to say that he doesn’t think this generation has that aura, magnetism or mystery surrounding them which used to be with Dilip Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan. He added that earlier when these people used to walk in the party, heads used to turn and a person could feel their presence even without seeing them as that was the power of their glory, aura and stardom.

Talking about his 50th birthday party, Karan Johar said that when SRK came to his party it was pretty easy to feel the thumping energy of young generation of actors and SRK can evoke such type of response because he has a kingdom. Karan Johar added that only Shah Rukh came from the other side in his party while others walked the red carpet and everyone from the young actors to his peers felt his aura.

As per Karan Johar, no other actor will enjoy such superstardom because now everyone is so casual and accessible and almost each detail – which gym they go, what they eat, whom they meet, etc. is known to public so there is no mystery. He further says that he is not getting into the right or wrong discussion, he is just saying that it doesn’t exist and he is not sure but he feels that the young generation actors don’t have that magic or aura.

Do you agree with Karan Johar? Share your views in this regard.

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?
