‘Like living in the past’: MI, CSK too emotionally connected to big names, says Sanjay Manjrekar | Cricket News

2 min readApr 21, 2026 07:23 PM IST They may have won the Indian Premier League (IPL) 10 times between them but Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians have both struggled to get going this season. Both teams have won two and lost four of the six games they have played thus far. Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar feels that both teams are somewhat stuck in the past in terms of their reliance on older players. While CSK have shifted their policy towards fielding younger players this season, there still remains question marks over what role 44-year-old MS Dhoni will play when he returns. MI’s most consistent batter this season, meanwhile, has been their 38-year-old former captain Rohit Sharma while Suryakumar Yadav and current skipper Hardik Pandya have struggled.

Project Hail Mary review: Ryan Gosling emotionally binds unmatched big-screen experience that makes you overlook flaws

Project Hail Mary review: Ryan Gosling emotionally binds unmatched big-screen experience that makes you overlook flaws

Project Hail Mary Directors: Phil Lord and Christopher Miller Cast: Ryan Gosling, Sandra Hüller, James Ortiz, and Lionel Boyce Rating: ★★★.5 I won’t lie that as Project Hail Mary began, I felt a sense of dread. I was worried if this was going to be an Interstellar clone. Even though I was familiar with the source material, one wonders just how different two films about middle-aged white men traversing the stars to save the world can be. In just under three hours, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller answer that beautifully. Because not only is Project Hail Mary different, but it is also surprisingly better looking than Nolan’s Interstellar. There are flaws, but the charm of the protagonist and the visual magic are enough to compensate for that in what is arguably the best big-screen experience this year so far. Project Hail Mary review: This deserves to be watched on the biggest screen there is. The premise Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) wakes up light-years away from home on a spaceship, all alone. He has no memory …
