The cricket boards are coming up with various new ideas in order to make cricket more popular among public in their country such as bringing new formats or adding new rules in the game. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) also came up with a new format The Hundred and it won’t be wrong to say that the board is quite ambitious about it as it did not hesitate in taking some steps which disrupted not just the County Championship 2021 but the T20 Blast as well. Many former English cricketers such as Kevin Pietersen, etc. have openly expressed their disappointment as they feel that the problems faced by the English cricket team are a result of the reduction in importance of the County Championship and increasing interest in shorter formats. Some former cricketers and cricket fans even questioned the need of the new format The Hundred in which 100 balls are bowled in one innings. The Hundred Men’s and Women’s tournament took place at the same time along with the County Championship ...

The top order of the Indian cricket team has batted pretty well till now in their second innings of the third test match which is being played at Headingley Cricket Ground as at the end of the day 3, India’s score was 215/2 and it was trailing by 130 runs. The Indian skipper Virat Kohli (45) is at the crease with Cheteshwar Pujara who is 9 runs far from touching the three digit mark. In the first innings, India was able to score only 78 runs and wasted the advantage of winning the toss but the English batsmen made sure that they put up a huge score on the board as they made 432 runs with the help of the skipper Joe Root’s century. Still two days are remaining in the test match and hopefully we are going to witness some great test cricket in the next two days. The game of day three was brought to an end by the umpires due to bad light and before that, England bowled around last 10 overs by spinners from both sides as the umpires stated that light was not suitable for the batsmen to p...

There is no denying the fact that public places such as parks, recreational spots, etc. should be taken care of in a proper manner and those who make them dirty or destroy the property should either be punished or restricted from entering. Representational Image In the modern times, parks have a special importance in our lives as the greenery is getting replaced by the concrete jungles and parks are among the only few places where one can spend some time in natural surroundings. However, sometimes the leisure time of public is destroyed by the acts of the moral police as they don’t like unmarried couples spending time together in parks and there are some who even don’t like to see kids or youngsters playing games inside parks. Recently, comedian-writer Varun Grover took to the micro-blogging site Twitter to share a photo which shows a notice being hanged in front of a park in which it is clearly written that unmarried couples are not allowed in the park. We are talking about Indir...

Shashi Tharoor is undoubtedly one of the most famous politicians of India and he is pretty active on the social media networks as well. Most of the times, the Congress MP from Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, is in news for his exemplary English vocabulary but recently he made headlines because of his photos in which he is seen breaking a coconut in a temple while celebrating the festival of Onam. Shashi Tharoor himself informed his followers about how he celebrated Onam by posting a tweet with few photos. His tweet read, “And then offered a ‘Niramala’ at the Elevanchery Bhagavathy Kshetram a few minutes from my ancestral home (where I also smashed a ritual coconut & prayed to the Naga gods worshipped by all Nairs). #Onam blessings to all especially those suffering in these troubled times.” And then offered a “Niramala” at the Elevanchery Bhagavathy Kshetram a few minutes from my ancestral home (where I also smashed a ritual coconut & prayed to the Naga gods worshipped by all Na...

Winning an Olympics medal is certainly a great achievement for a sportsperson and Neeraj Chopra, the Indian track and field athlete, scripted history when he won the Gold medal in the recently concluded Tokyo Olympics. It was the first time that India won a Gold medal in the track and field event in the history of Olympics and after his return from Tokyo, Neeraj Chopra was seen giving interviews, attending felicitation ceremonies, etc. as the government and organizations wanted to celebrate his achievement.

The Indian cricket team had a nightmarish start to the third test match which is being played at Headingley Cricket Ground, Leeds, as the whole team managed to score merely 78 runs in their first innings. The toss was won by Virat Kohli after straight eight times loss and the visitors chose to bat first. Though the pitch seemed good for batting and putting up a big total, the Indian batsmen who were high on confidence after winning the Lord’s test match played some really bad and careless shots and gifted their wickets to the English bowlers. The poor form of the Indian skipper Virat Kohli also continued in the third test match as he got out at the score of 7 and India’s scorecard read 21/3 when Virat Kohli went to pavilion after giving a catch to Jos Buttler on the bowling of James Anderson. This is the seventh time that Anderson has dismissed Virat Kohli and he is certainly dominating the Indian skipper in this series. While the former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar made no hesi...
