Barmy Army Trolls MS Dhoni While Wishing Him On Birthday, Gets Roasted By Whistlepodu Army

England’s Barmy Army is known for being critical towards the Indian cricket team and the Indian cricketers and even their birthday wishes are in a very bad taste. Though competitiveness in game is a good trait, being sarcastic while offering birthday wishes is certainly not the right thing to do. However, recently Barmy Army was at its poisonous best when it wished former Indian cricketer MS Dhoni on his birthday.

MS Dhoni celebrated his 41st birthday on 7th July and wishes poured in from all over the world. Barmy Army also wished the Indian legend by posting an image from the 2019 World Cup India vs England match in which MS Dhoni is seen walking back to pavilion after getting dismissed. Barmy Army captioned the photo as, “Happy Birthday MS, some amazing battles over the years”.

This obviously didn’t go well with the Indian and CSK fans and Whistlepodu Army – CSK Fan Club gave a perfect reply to Barmy Army by posting pics from the 2013 Champions Trophy final which was played between India and England and India won it by 5 runs under the leadership of MS Dhoni. In one of the images, MS Dhoni can be seen celebrating the stumping of Ian Bell and in another photo, he is seen holding the trophy.

The tweet was captioned with, “Thank you & Yellove on behalf of all Dhoni fans. We love the courtesy extended amidst these battles and the amazing memories like these which we cherish. #HappyBirthdayDhoni”

This was a mouth-shutting reply to Barmy Army and Indian fans also reacted to it:

MS Dhoni is the only skipper who has won three major ICC trophies (2007 ICC T20 World Cup, 2011 ICC ODI World Cup and 2013 ICC Champions Trophy) and this is more than enough to prove that he is one of the best skippers India has ever had.

As far as England’s Barmy Army is concerned, they have been doing such things in the past and they will surely keep on doing these kinds of stuffs in the future as well because some people never change.

Barmy Army, take a chill pill!

Ravindra Jadeja To Quit CSK? He Deleted All Posts Related To CSK From Instagram, Fans React

Ravindra Jadeja, the Indian all-rounder has been appointed as the vice-captain of the Indian team which is going on the West Indies tour for playing 3 ODIs and 5 T20Is against the hosts. He had a very disappointing run in the IPL 2022 but he made a great comeback in the fifth rescheduled test match against England as he scored a century (104) which helped his team in posting a good total in the first innings.

Ravindra Jadeja has been an integral part of the IPL team Chennai Super Kings for a long time and the Chennai franchise retained him for Rs. 16 crore ahead of the mega auctions for the IPL 2022. Just couple of days before the start of the tournament, he was named as the skipper of CSK but after successive defeats, he decided to leave captaincy and requested MS Dhoni to once again lead the team which Mahi agreed to.

Though the actual plan of CSK was to nurture Ravindra Jadeja under the guidance of MS Dhoni so when Mahi takes retirement from the IPL, Jadeja may emerge as an able leader of the team but things didn’t go as per the plans. Once MS Dhoni also stated that for couple of matches, he oversaw his work but later on he asked Jadeja to take the decisions on his own. Mahi also stated that the pressure of captaincy might have become a burden on him which affected his performance to a great extent.

Ravindra Jadeja’s performance with the bat was also very poor in the tournament and he left captaincy citing that he wanted to focus on his game in a better manner but then he was ruled out of the tournament due to an injury.

Some reports suggest that things are not on good terms between Ravindra Jadeja and the Chennai franchise as the former unfollowed latter on the social media. Now people are speculating more about the strained relationship of Ravindra Jadeja with CSK because he has deleted all the posts related to CSK from his Instagram account.

This has irked many CSK fans because they have showered Ravindra Jadeja with lots of love and affection over the years. Some fans also pointed out that Jadeja didn’t even wish Mahi on his birthday and there were few who claimed that the left-handed batsman will get replaced next year. Several others even talked about the dropping of Suresh Raina and slammed the CSK management, saying two main players of the same team can’t be wrong. Here are some of the selected reactions:

“You Call It Rest, Others Call It Dropped,” Kapil Dev Feels Virat May Not Get To Play T20 World Cup

The former Indian skipper Virat Kohli is undoubtedly one of the best cricketers of the present time despite the fact that he has been out of form for a very long time now. However, things have turned so ugly for him that even his biggest supporters are finding it difficult to support him. The right-handed batsman has failed to score a century for the last two years and he once again failed to make a big score in the recently concluded fifth rescheduled test match against England and if this was not enough, his aggressive behaviour has attracted criticism from many corners.

There are some experts and former cricketers who have now started saying that Virat Kohli may even lose his place in the squad which will go to play the T20 World Cup in Australia. Recently, the legendary former Indian cricketer Kapil Dev under who leadership India won the first World Cup in 1983 also opened up on this matter and he stated very categorically that if Ravichandran Ashwin may not get a place in the test squad, it is also possible that Virat Kohli may also lose his place in the team.

There is no denying the fact that Ravichandran Ashwin is the best spinner of the country presently, he is number 2 bowler in the ICC rankings for the purest format and has taken around 450 wickets till now but he hasn’t played a single test match since January. R Ashwin was also not included in the Indian playing XI for the fifth rescheduled test match against England. Indian cricket fans were quite upset with decision of the team management and they showed no hesitation in slamming the skipper Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid.

During an interview, Kapil Dev says that players can’t be included in the team just because of their reputation, if the world’s number 2 bowler can be dropped then a batter who was number 1 at one point of time can also be dropped. He adds that the players who are in form should be played especially when you have good number of options.

Virat Kohli was not a part of the playing XI which played the first T20I against England but he is back for the remaining two T20Is. However as per the reports, the former skipper of the IPL team Royal Challengers Bangalore has asked the selectors not to consider him for the West Indies tour. Kapil Dev has also talked on this matter as he says that Virat Kohli is not performing in the manner in which he used to do in the past, he has made a big name because of his performances but as now he is not performing, there is no justification for keeping performing youngsters out of the team. While a person may call it rest, the other may call it dropped; if he hasn’t been selected by the selectors, this is because he is not performing.

Along with Virat Kohli, skipper Rohit Sharma, pacer Jasprit Bumrah and wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant have also been rested whereas Shikhar Dhawan will be leading the relatively less experienced team on the West Indies tour.

Do you also agree with Kapil Dev that a player can’t be selected just on the basis of his reputation? Let us know your views.

EIU’s Global Liveability Index 2022 Is Out & This Is The Least Liveable City Of India

A person may travel all over the world whether for professional reasons or for pleasure purposes but at the end of the day everyone wants to come back home because there is no better place than your home in the entire world. However, many times a person wants to leave his hometown in order to settle in a different city or a different country because he is not happy with the living conditions of his city. Though the Indian government is working on making the Indian cities as smart cities, the truth is that we are lagging far behind from other cities of world in terms of liveable conditions.

Recently, the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) released its Global Liveability Index 2022 in which it revealed how invasion of Ukraine by Russia and removal of COVID-19 restrictions have affected the living conditions of 173 cities all over the world.

The research is based on various methodologies and on the parameters such as – culture, healthcare, infrastructure, education, environment, stability, etc.

While Vienna emerged as the number one city to live in this world, Copenhagen and Zurich came at second and third positions, respectively.

However, the bad news is that none of the Indian cities was able to make it to the top 100 in the list. New Delhi, the national capital of the country, secured 112th position while the financial capital Mumbai secured 117th rank followed by Chennai (142) and Ahmedabad (143).

But the silicon valley of India, i.e., Bengaluru fared the worst as it came at the 146th position despite the fact that it was the first in the list of Ease of Living Index which was released by the nation last year.

As per a leading daily, Bengaluru obtained only 46.4 out of 100 in regard to infrastructure which is the lowest score among the five Indian cities which featured in the list of Global Liveability Index 2022.

Quality of roads, water, public transport facility, telecom facilities, housing facilities, energy provision and international links were among the points which were considered while ranking the cities. This is certainly a bad sign for the Indian cities and also a signal for them to improve their living conditions.

“Hardik On Fire,” Twitter Lauds Hardik Pandya’s Stunning All-Round Show In 1st T20

Everything seems to be going in favor of the Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya who has made a very strong comeback after being away from cricket for a long time due to injury and fitness issues. He led Gujarat Titans which was a new team in the IPL 2022 and made it win the title in its debut season. Not just his captaincy was good but his batting and bowling were also superb in the league and it won’t be wrong to say that he led from the front.

His wonderful performances in the IPL 2022 left the selectors with no option other than calling him back in the team for the South Africa series in which Junior Pandya once again performed pretty well. After that, he was given the duty of leading the team on the Ireland tour and once again he performed very well in every aspect of the game. Till now, it is quite certain that the Gujarat cricketer will definitely play an important role in India’s campaign in the T20 World Cup which will take place in Australia later this year.

Hardik Pandya once again performed superbly in the first T20I of the 3-match series against England and helped his team in taking a lead of 1-0 by winning the first T20I by 50 runs. The match was played yesterday at the Rose Bowl Cricket Ground, Hampshire and Hardik gave an all-round performance as first he scored 51 runs (33 balls, 6 fours & 1 six) and then he also dismissed 4 England batsmen (Jason Roy, Dawid Malan, Liam Livingstone and Sam Curran).

The toss was won by the visitors and they decided to bat first. The Indian team put up a total of 198/8 on the score board with the help of Hardik Pandya’s fifty and useful contributions of Deepak Hooda (33 euns, 17 balls, 3 fours & 2 sixes) and Suryakumar Yadav (39 runs, 19 balls, 4 fours & 2sixes). The hosts could manage only 148 in 19.3 overs and the highest scorer for England was Moeen Ali (36 runs, 20 balls, 4 fours & 2 sixes). With this brilliant performance, Hardik Pandya who was adjudged as the Player of the Match also becomes the first Indian to score a fifty and take 4 wickets in an international T20I match.

While talking to mediapersons after the match, Hardik Pandya said that he is enjoying the game at the moment and the last time he played a T20 in England, he took 4 wickets and scored odd-30 runs so this time he knew that he is the first Indian cricketer to score a fifty and take four wickets.

He added that he needed a break during which he prepared his body and made it ready so that he can make the maximum use of opportunities that he gets. The skipper of Gujarat Titans is of the opinion that it is always about giving 100 percent and if a player is not able to give 100 percent, he should not play.

The cricket fraternity and fans were all praises for Hardik Pandya and this is how they lauded the cricketer:
