Fraudsters Organized Fake IPL, Turned Farm Into Stadium & Duped Russian Punters Of Rs 3 Lakh

The Indian Premier League is certainly one of the biggest tournaments of the world and many times the Indian police has caught people betting on the matches but what do you say about those people who organized a tournament like IPL with such perfection that even Russian punters placed bet on the matches.

As per the reports, the incident took place in Molipur village, Vadnagar taluka of Mehsana district where a person named Shoeb Davda played an important role in executing the plan. Shoeb returned to the village after working in Russian pubs for 8 months which were famous for taking bets, he took the farm of Ghulam Masih on rent  and made it look like cricket ground, installed halogen lights, hired 21 labourers for playing cricket on the promise of Rs. 400/match. Not just this, Shoeb Davda hired a cameraman, bought T-shirts of IPL teams such as Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians, Delhi Daredevils, etc. and also hired a person for the purpose of mimicking commentator Harsha Bhogle.

The matches were aired on YouTube and they also arranged for fake crowd noises during the match. Shoeb Davda told the police that he met a person Asif Mohammed while he was working in Russian pub and it was Asif who made the whole plan. The other people involved in this plan were Sadiq Davda, Saqib, Saifi and Mohammed Kolu and one of them even acted as umpire in the fake matches.

The police official told that the bets were taken by Shoeb who then instructed Mohammed Kolu (umpire) to either signal a four or six and then the bowler used to throw a slow delivery so that the batsman could hit the shot for four or six. Then cameraman used to shift the focus towards the sky to show that ball was seen nowhere in the sky and then focus was shifted towards umpire who used to signal a four or a six.

The bets were made on a Telegram channel and everything was going fine for them as they had played quarter finals and earned Rs. 3 lakh by then. However, police busted this scam and four people have been arrested till now in relation to this case.

What is more surprising is the fact the people who were running fake IPL tournament in Gujarat were running a similar fake league in Uttar Pradesh as well. This fake cricket league was running by the name of “Big Boss T20 Punjab League”, the matches were played in Meerut and the bets were getting placed on the mobile app Cric Heroes.  The investigation revealed that Asif Mohammed who had been mentioned earlier was coordinating with a person Ashoke Chaudhary for running this fake league in UP.

One difference in both the leagues was that in Gujarat they were showing as if they were playing IPL while in Uttar Pradesh, the players were introduced as Ranji Trophy cricketers.

Here are some Twitter reactions:

This is certainly quite surprising that someone can even think of faking a cricket tournament like IPL. We are sure that some filmmaker must be thinking of making a movie on this topic just like “Special 26”. What do you say?

Sanjana Brutally Trolls England With ‘Crispy Duck’ After Bumrah’s Fiery Performance In ODI

The England cricket team suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Indian squad in the first ODI of the 3-match series which was played yesterday at The Oval. The toss was won by the visitors and they chose to bowl first which was certainly the best decision as the Indian bowlers bowled out the English team for just 110 runs in 25.2 overs.

The top scorer for England was the skipper Jos Buttler who scored 30 runs before falling prey to Mohammed Shami. For India, it was Jasprit Bumrah who took the most number of wickets (6/19) and out of these six, three batsmen (Jason Roy, Joe Root and Liam Livingstone) were dismissed for duck. One more English batsman who got out for duck was Ben Stokes and his wicket was taken by Mohammed Shami.

While Jasprit Bumrah was making lives of the English batters hell on the ground, his wife Sanjana Ganesan who is a very famous sports journalist was trolling the English batters on television. Sanjana took the viewers to the food stalls area where she talked about a food stall titled as ‘Crispy Duck’ and said, “We’ve come to a stall that not a lot of English batters would like to come to. It’s called the ‘Crispy Duck’. We’ve got a duck wrap is, and we will see how good the duck off-the-field is. Because the ducks on the field have been absolutely fantastic.”

The Sony Sports Network posted the video with the caption, “While our bowlers bagged some duckss on the field, @SanjanaGanesan ‘wrap’ped up some ducks off the field at #TheOval”.

The Indian skipper Rohit Sharma played a brilliant knock of 76* and he was well supported by Shikhar Dhawan who scored 31* and both of them ensured that their team won the match without losing any wicket.

Jasprit Bumrah was adjudged as the Player of the Match and some former cricketers such as Sachin Tendulkar and Nasser Hussain got so impressed with him that they declared Jasprit Bumrah the best pacer of the present times across all the formats.

That was quite good trolling by Sanjana Ganesan! What do you say?

Jasprit Bumrah’s Funny Response To A Journo’s “6 Years Ago” Query Leaves Everyone In Splits

The Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah is all over social media, print media and electronic media as of now because of his superb performance in the first ODI of the 3-match series against England. The match was played at The Oval and after winning the toss, the Indian skipper Rohit Sharma chose to bow first. His decision was justified by his pacers, especially Jasprit Bumrah who dismissed 6 English batsmen and gave away just 19 runs. It was the best performance of any Indian bowler against England as the previous record was in the name of Ashish Nehra whose figures read 6/24 in a 2003 World Cup match. Mohammed Shami gave full support to Jasprit Bumrah as he took 3 wickets and gave away only 31 runs.

The English team could manage only 110 runs on the score board which was chased successfully by the Indian openers Rohit Sharma (76*) and Shikhar Dhawan (31*) as India won the match by 10 wickets.

Jasprit Bumrah who was adjudged as the Player of the Match also appeared in the post-match press conference and answered many questions related to the match, his performance and the team’s victory. However, what caught people’s attention the most was the answer which Jasprit Bumrah gave in response to the question asked by a journalist.

The journalist says that he interviewed Bumrah six years ago and his confidence was the same as it is today. The Indian pacer gives a funny response as he says that he doesn’t remember what he said six years ago. He further adds that he likes to live in the present and focuses most on his own preparation and evaluations because there is a lot of noise and it can create confusion in one’s mind. Jasprit Bumrah goes on to say that he does everything that is in his control such as working hard and keeping a check on his fitness and diet because of which he can accept his results easily. He adds that he has tried to maintain consistency which also helps him in maintaining stability.

“Go Back To Domestic Cricket,” Legendry Indian Wicketkeeper Speaks On Virat Kohli’s Form

The Indian cricketer Virat Kohli who is touted as one of the greatest of all times by his fans is going through a lean patch for quite a long time now as the last time he scored a century was in 2019 and in the recent outings also, he failed to make an impact with the bat. Fans were very hopeful that in the fifth rescheduled test match, Virat Kohli’s century drought would come to an end but he once again failed and in the T20Is against England, he performed miserably as well.

Though the skipper Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid are standing strongly behind Virat Kohli, now many former cricketers and experts have started demanding his exclusion from the team because there are many in-form youngsters who are waiting for getting a place in the national team. It was being said that ODIs will be the best chance for Virat Kohli to regain his touch because in ODIs, he will get time to settle down on the pitch and then he may start scoring which is not the case in T20Is as a batsman needs to start hitting from the very start in the shortest format. However unfortunately for Virat Kohli, he suffered groin injury and was ruled out of the first ODI against England. The bigger problem is that Virat Kohli has already made himself unavailable for the West Indies tour where India will be playing 3 ODIs and 5 T20Is, so now he needs to perform well in the remaining 2 ODIs against England otherwise things will get very difficult for him from here.

The legendary former Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Syed Kirmani has now opened up on this matter as he states that the competition is huge at the moment with so many youngsters ready to prove their talent. He further says that if a player, irrespective of his experience and reputation, is not able to perform well for some innings, the selectors should ask him to play in domestic cricket, make some runs and get his confidence back and then the selectors should think about his comeback in the team. Syed Kirmani says that he is not able to understand why this is not applicable to Virat Kohli.

The former Indian cricketer Venkatesh Prasad also tweeted on the same lines after Virat Kohli failed to perform in the third T20I against England.

However, Indian cricketer Amit Mishra has come out in support of Virat Kohli as he states that the former skipper may not be in form as of now but has performed well so many times and has played so many match-winning innings that he should be supported at the moment. Amit Mishra further adds that Virat is a match-winner and has risen to the occasion in the difficult situations when the team needed him. He is of the opinion that sometimes even the seniors also need backing so we should not lose faith and confidence in Virat Kohli.

Whose views do you support in relation to Virat Kohli – Syed Kirmani or Amit Mishra? Let us know your pick.

“Jasprit Bumrah Is Unplayable,” Twitter Lauds Bumrah’s 6-Wicket Haul Against England

The Indian cricket team started the 3-match ODI series against England in a grand manner as it registered one of the biggest victories in ODIs and a major credit goes to the Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah. Boom Boom Bumrah was literally unplayable in yesterday’s match as he dismissed 6 English batters and played an important role in wrapping up the hosts for just 110 which is their lowest score ever in ODIs.

The English batting line up looked pretty strong with the likes of test skipper Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root joining the ODI squad but even these successful batters who clinched victory  in the fifth rescheduled test match from India were not able to do anything in front of superb bowling by the Indian bowlers. How lethal the Indian bowlers were, especially Bumrah, can be understood by the fact that four English batters were not even able to open their account. After the English innings, Jasprit Bumrah’s figures read 6/19 which is the best till date against England by an Indian bowler, earlier it was in the name of Ashish Nehra (6/24) who achieved it in a match in the 2003 World Cup.

Jasprit Bumrah dismissed Jason Roy, Joe Root and Liam Livingstone for duck along with Jonny Bairstow (7), David Willey (21) and Brydon Carse (15) and it was quite obvious that he was adjudged as the Player of the Match. Bumrah’s great performance also motivated Mohammed Shami who dismissed 3 batters for 31 runs in his 7 overs.

The highest scorer for England was Jos Buttler who scored 30 runs in 32 deliveries and his innings included 6 fours.

As Jasprit Bumrah tore into the English batting lineup, the Indian Twitterati was ecstatic and fans made no delay in expressing their excitement on the micro-blogging site. Check out some of the selected reactions:

While the Indian skipper Rohit Sharma’s decision of bowling first was proved correct by his bowlers, he himself used this opportunity to get back in form. The Indian squad had to score 111 runs in 50 overs in order to win the match which it did in just 18.4 overs without losing any wicket as the openers Rohit Sharma (76* runs, 58 balls, 7 fours & 5 sixes) and Shikhar Dhawan (31* runs, 54 balls, 4 fours) ensured that they took their team home as the winner.

The second ODI will be played tomorrow at Lord’s and the visitors will certainly like to win it to seal the ODI series as well after winning the T20I series.

The Indian cricketer KL Rahul is missing from the action because of his injury which he suffered while practicing just before the South African series and it is also heard that he will be undergoing a surgery in Germany but presently, he is making news for some other reason.

It’s an open secret that KL Rahul is dating actress Athiya Shetty, daughter of Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty. They have been quite open about their relationship and have posted many photos together on the social media platforms. The couple has been in a relationship for almost 3 years now and there are rumours that they will tie the knot sometime in October. In fact, rumours further suggest that Athiya is working on every detail related to her wedding.

As the “Mubarakan” actress left for Germany with the cricketer, many mediapersons tried to contact actor Suniel Shetty in order to enquire about his daughter’s wedding. He straight away dashed the rumours and said that nothing of this sort is happening at the moment.

Though Suniel Shetty has denied the news of Athiya and KL Rahul’s wedding yet he has always maintained that he likes and respects Rahul and is also happy about the relationship that he has with his daughter and the family.

Whenever the couples ties the knot, they appear to have been made for each other, don’t they?

“Looking At That Actor, I Realized Luck Is Important,” Divyenndu On Working With An Inept Actor

Divyenndu Sharma has proved his talent many times by performing superbly in each role that has been portrayed by him whether on the big screen or on the small one. There is no doubt that he is one of the most versatile actors of the present times as he has portrayed many shades in his career. He is best known for playing Liquid (Nishant) in “Pyaar Ka Punchnama” and Munna bhaiya in web series “Mirzapur” but he has done many other roles as well such as Narayan Sharma (“Toilet: Ek Prem Katha”), Sundar Tripathi (“Batti Gul Meter Chalu”), etc.

Divyenndu Sharma who will be seen next in Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt starrer “Brahmastra” recently opened up on his journey, working with non-talented stars and nepotism.

Talking about a Bollywood star who doesn’t have any talent in Divyenndu’s opinion, the PKP actor said that he really felt jealous of that person as he was not able to understand as to how that actor was successful. Divyenndu believes that whether an actor has got into the character completely or not can be understood by looking into his eyes but after looking at that actor, he understood the importance of luck in life.

When Divyenndu Sharma is asked whether belonging from a filmy background would have helped him in his career, he says that there is no doubt about it but if there are some advantages, there are also some disadvantages. He adds that if getting work had been easier initially, he would also have been under the eye of media and public. Divyenndu goes on to say that there is no debate regarding the preferences, it has always been about merit. He further states that if you see Ranbir Kapoor you wouldn’t feel bad but if you see someone there just because of his surname but is not good in acting, then you will feel bad.

“Brahmastra” is going to release on 9 September 2022 and it stars some really big names of the movie industry such as Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna and Mouni Roy plus Shah Rukh Khan is also doing a cameo in the first part of the trilogy which is directed by Ayan Mukerji.
