Biopic on cricketer Amir Hussain Lone announced

Biopic on cricketer Amir Hussain Lone announced

Published by Webster

Impossible dreams come true. Cricketer Amir Hussain Lone is the personification of that truth. Lone, who lost his arms in an accident at the age of eight, didn’t let that deter him from realising his dream of turning cricketer, even becoming the captain of Jammu and Kashmir para cricket team. Now, a dream that he never dreamt has come true — a biopic on his life was announced at the ongoing Cannes Film Festival.  The movie, a story of the indomitable human spirit, will be directed by Nishil Sheth. Five years ago, the heads at Pickle Entertainment and Aarambh Productions approached Lone for the biopic. “I had a cricket match in Mumbai. That’s when the news spread that there was a cricketer from Kashmir, who was armless, but was representing his country. Later, the makers visited me in Kashmir and were shocked listening to my story,” said Lone, speaking exclusively to mid-day.

R Ashwin calls out Mohammad Amir for calling Abhishek Sharma a ‘slogger’: ‘Completely wrong’ | Cricket News

3 min readUpdated: Feb 27, 2026 04:23 PM IST Former India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has come out in support of opening batter Abhishek Sharma, calling out critics who referred to the left-hander as a ‘slogger’. The 39-year-old said that Sharma had a fine backlift, which he felt was arguably even better than that of his mentor, Yuvraj Singh. Ashwin referred to former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir’s comments, where had called the southpaw a slogger and how everyone had picked up on those words. “You can criticise parts of Abhishek Sharma’s game, but calling him a slogger would be completely wrong. He possesses one of the most elegant and powerful bat swings in modern cricket, arguably even more eye-catching than that of his mentor, Yuvraj Singh,” Ashwin said on his YouTube channel “Ash Ki Baat”. Ashwin said that one aspect where Sharma could curb his batting is in his intent to go after the bowling of every ball. He felt that when someone was searching for runs, such instincts can come into a player’s batting. The …

4 min readUpdated: Feb 25, 2026 02:00 PM IST Pakistan’s passage to the semi-finals of the ongoing T20 World Cup seems unlikely after their two-wicket loss against England in their Group 2 Super 8 encounter at Pallekele on Tuesday night. During the previous edition of the T20 World Cup in 2024, Pakistan had failed to get past the group stage, where they lost against the USA and India before winning against Canada and Ireland. Former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir, who was part of the 2024 T20 World Cup Pakistan team, has now revealed how some players in that 2024 Pakistan team, led by Babar Azam, were still laughing just an hour of the loss against USA and behaved as if ‘nothing has happened’. “Those who feel they cannot sleep for the whole night. I was very hurt. Post the USA loss, there were players who were indulging in laughter. Our flight was one hour later after the match and there were 2-3 players in the team who would indulge in laughter. Like nothing has happened. …

2 min readFeb 23, 2026 09:26 PM IST Former Pakistan left-arm pacer Mohammad Amir spoke about Abhishek Sharma again, this time praising the young Indian opener for his ‘intent’ but reiterating that his technique was being exposed in international cricket. Sharma opened his 2026 ICC T20 World Cup account on Sunday, scoring fifteen runs in twelve balls before Marco Jansen sent him back to the pavilion. Sharma’s poor World Cup run has now extended itself to four games in a row. “You must have seen that he scored 14 runs on the same side. All three of the boundaries he hit were off bad balls. He does have potential. He kept the same intent even after three ducks,” said Amir on the show Haarna Mana Hai.

2 min readFeb 20, 2026 01:38 PM IST India were dominant in the group stage of the T20 World Cup despite the fact that they suffered batting cillapses in almost every game. India have been known for their high-risk batting approach since winning the 2024 T20 World Cup. While it came off more often than not in the matches preceding the 2026 T20 World Cup, it hasn’t quite come together for them in this tournament and former Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir sees this as the reason as to why India won’t make it to the semi-final of the tournament. “South Africa and the West Indies,” said Amir on the Haarna Mana Hai Youtube show when asked who predicted will make it to the semi-finals Group 1 of the Super Eights. When asked why he thinks India won’t make it, Amir said: “If you see their matches, the batting collapsed in all the games, barring the Pakistan contest. The pressure will rise in the Super 8 matches. The way in which South Africa and the …
