Nepotism has become one of the most talked about topics in Bollywood nowadays, especially after the sudden departure of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. This topic first became the talk of the town after actress Kangana Ranaut appeared in Karan Johar’s talk show Koffee With Karan. In that episode, the Queen of B-Town called the host Karan Johar the flagbearer of nepotism and since then, she has been talking on this issue on a regular basis.

The Little Master made his debut in the international cricket in 1992 and served the Indian cricket for long 21 years. Sachin may have played an important role in many victories of team India but he was not able to lay his hands in the World Cup trophy until 2011 which was his last chance.

Virat Kohli, the Indian skipper who was a newbie at that time, recalled those moments during a chat with May...

While it is a matter of happiness for the Indian cricket fans, the Pakistani cricketing fraternity doesn’t seem to be much pleased with it. Their annoyance is quite understandable as the Pakistani cricketers are not allowed to take part in the cash-rich league due to the tensions prevailing between the two nations.
