He won his first Nationals Championships gold after nine years as he walked over to victory in Indore. However, his victory landed in a controversy claiming that he won the medal without even lifting a finger. It was Sushil’s first competition after three years and since the controversy involving Narsingh Yadav in 2016 prior to the Rio Olympics, which saw neither grappler eventually take part in the Games. The two-time Olympics medalist returned to the game after a gap but many were disappointed when he ended up winning the tournament without fighting a single match, thanks to the walkovers presented by his opponents. He just fought two out of his five bouts as his opponents in the quarterfinal, semifinal and final refused to fight him and allowed him an unopposed path to the gold medal. Praveen, Sachin Rathi, and Parveen Rana are the three wrestlers. ...

Right from the inception of social media has come into power, people use it as a strong medium or tool to voice their opinions. Not only common people, even politicians, celebrities are active on few micro-blogging sites. While some choose these platforms only to stick to promoting something and posting their photos, others take it a serious place to express their views regarding social issues We all know that former Indian opener Virender Sehwag and veteran Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh are the most popular and active people on Twitter. But former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly isn’t the most active person on social media. But what’s surprising is he took to Twitter to comment on a picture posted by Harbhajan Singh, featuring his wife and daughter. Though, Ganguly didn’t know he would go on to commit a gaffe. Harbhajan, along with his wife Geeta Basra and daughter Hinaya Heer Plaha paid a visit to the Golden Temple, Amritsar. Bhajji, later, uploaded a picture from the visit on his T...

The debate of Indian National Anthem is pretty intense these days. The debate has become one of the biggest issues in the country. Amid wrong currents, this time it is Indian cricket team skipper Virat Kohli who was involved in this controversy. Virat Kohli has always been vocal about his patriotism and has always taken immense pride in representing the nation. Virat is a stalwart batsman, unarguably the best in the game and has a sprawling fan base. But what happened today at Eden Gardens before the commencement of the first Test match between India and Sri Lanka might fetch him some heavy duty criticism. At the pre-match National Anthem ceremony, the Indian skipper was spotted chewing a gum as the National Anthem was being sung. This seems to be a big blunder for his fans to cover up as this time it is about the National Anthem.

Former Indian skipper MS Dhoni, the players who earned more honors, or garnered more laurels for Indian team has been playing for Team India for 12 years. Started off with the world cup in T20 Internationals, he led India in winning several other crucial trophies all the way which was usually unexpected and never earned before. Once again after a while, the discussion on Dhoni’s retirement has come out. Following the second India vs. New Zealand Twenty20 in Rajkot, Dhoni had come under the scanner with the likes of VVS Laxman and Ajit Agarkar asking him to make way for the youngsters. He was criticized and trolled by many for playing slow innings when the team had to score more than 12 an over. In Dhoni’s defense, skipper Virat Kohli has made a strong argument saying that “people need to be a bit more patient”. Dhoni also got the backing of coach Ravi Shastri. But all these while, the Ranchi man has been keeping a dignified silence. While people have defended the former Indian captain ...

For both his cricketing statistics and off the field achievements Dhoni is considered as the much-loved cricketer just the way Sachin Tendulkar was.

The game of cricket has changed over the years. It first evolved into Tests and later One Day Internationals. And now, it is the shortest and the most famous format of the game and it is Twenty20. There is the talk of 10-over cricket too. You might have seen many weird dismissals so far. Many of them have caught our eye but don’t worry about the ones you missed because there’s Indian veteran all-rounder Yuvraj Singh. He recently took to Instagram to bring the most bizarre dismissal ever to light. The left-hander, who is struggling to make a comeback in the Indian team, posted a strange video in which a batsman was given out by the umpire despite leaving the ball safely into the wicketkeeper’s gloves. No one appealed, the ball didn’t hit the wickets nor it touched his pads. The decision left the majority confused. We hope there are much more such dismissals he would share in time to come. Just like Yuvraj, even his followers were left puzzled after watching the video. Watch The Video He...

It seems that the thick flair of violence is nowhere about to end between India and Australia. It has been a while that the Australian journalist Dennis Freedman has taken a sly dig at the Kohli-led TeamIndia’s picture of sweeping grounds referring to the ongoing Swachh Bharat Mission. This journo commented, “Imagine celebrating putting rubbish in the bin like it’s an achievement”, to this, he directly tagged the latest BCCI video featuring Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, coach Ravi Shastri and two other players. Now, again, after a while, he tried to mock at Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar. The journalist reminded everyone yet again of his kid- like attitude and under-developed brain by ...

Ace bowler Ravichandran Ashwin was well known as of the most sarcastic players in the current Indian squad, his recent reply to a Twitter user who has compared him with Moieen Ali is all that proves it to be so. Well, this time, the young Indian player is once again on news and not for being compared or criticised, but, simply for making a lame promotional tweet.

They tried in the second One Day International, with a batting collapse during a chase. They almost repeated it in the third ODI too.
