“Lowest Of Lows”: Ambati Rayudu No-Nonsense Take On Chennai Super Kings’ Debacle

“Lowest Of Lows”: Ambati Rayudu No-Nonsense Take On Chennai Super Kings’ Debacle

After Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) sorry run in IPL 2025 continued with a five-wicket defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), former India batter Ambati Rayudu stated that the five-time champions will henceforth be highly attentive about evolving as per the current style of playing T20 cricket. Despite making some changes to their playing eleven at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, CSK’s quest to get a win didn’t yield the desired result, resulting in them still staying at tenth place in the points table. “I know it’s the lowest of lows, but it’s also a great learning for CSK. If you rest on your laurels and don’t keep an eye on the future, this is what can happen. From here on, they’ll be very, very vigilant about evolving with the game. Even MS Dhoni has acknowledged that the game has moved on, and I’m sure he’s already thinking about building a team for next year.” “We’ve seen some shining lights in the batting line-up, particularly Brevis and Mhatre – those are real positives. Sometimes, it takes …

Yuzvendra Chahal’s No-Nonsense Reply On ‘Deserving’ Rs 18 Crore Fee In IPL 2025

Yuzvendra Chahal’s No-Nonsense Reply On ‘Deserving’ Rs 18 Crore Fee In IPL 2025

Bought for Rs 18 crore in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 auction, Yuzvendra Chahal was one of the most expensive signings ahead of the 18th edition of the T20 league. The leg-spinner was roped in by Punjab Kings for a mind-boggling fee after being released by the Rajasthan Royals. Considering Chahal is no longer in the reckoning in any of the three formats for Team India, there are some who feel PBKS went too far in the pursuit of the spinner, signing him for an amount that’s a little over what his worth was. However, Chahal justified the price he was bought for in the auction. Speaking of his experience of the IPL 2025 auction, Chahal said that he himself asked the same question, wondering if he was worth such a fee. The answer he got from within was ‘yes’. “I missed the first few minutes of the auction because I was very nervous. The auction is like that. You don’t know what price you will go for, which team. Lots of …

Sunil Gavaskar’s no-nonsense take on Virat Kohli’s spin woes: ‘If you’re getting out to same bowling, then…’

Sunil Gavaskar’s no-nonsense take on Virat Kohli’s spin woes: ‘If you’re getting out to same bowling, then…’

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar feels that it is a matter of concern that Virat Kohli keeps getting out to the same kind of bowlers in ODIs. Gavaskar’s comment came after the right-hander’s dismissal against the left-arm spin of Rishad Hossain in India’s ICC Champions Trophy opening match against Bangladesh in Dubai on Thursday. Sunil Gavaskar’s blunt take on Virat Kohli’s woes against spin in ODIs. (REUTERS) This was the sixth consecutive time Kohli lost his wicket to spin in the 50-over format. Out of these six dismissals, five have come against left-arm spin. In the recent ODI series against England, Kohli was all at sea against Adil Rashid, and the technique has again come into question. In the match against Bangladesh, Kohli managed 22 runs before losing his wicket to Rishad Hossain. “It is to a great extent due to the fact that the bat face opens up. Same thing happens when he’s playing against the quicks in Australia. The bat face opening up, looking to play through the covers, opening the face of …

‘Virat Kohli was frustrated… Sam Konstas got his skin’: Ex-AUS star’s no-nonsense take on IND maestro struggles

‘Virat Kohli was frustrated… Sam Konstas got his skin’: Ex-AUS star’s no-nonsense take on IND maestro struggles

Jan 08, 2025 09:12 AM IST Haddin claimed that Kohli was frustrated with his game during the series, and Konstas did manage to get under his skin during the contest. Veteran Australia wicketkeeper Brad Haddin boldly claimed that young Sam Konstas got under Virat Kohli‘s skin as he failed to put up big scores and got out in the same fashion. Kohli collided shoulder to shoulder as he walked past 19-year-old Konstas during the Boxing Day Test, which sparked a controversy. The Indian superstar was later fined 20 per cent of match fees. It was during the day of the Test match when Kohl bumped into Konstas as he was walking down the pitch for a chat with opening partner Usman Khawaja at the end of the 10th over on the opening day of the fourth test.

Literary giant ‘with his no-nonsense insistence on free speech’ – who was M T Vasudevan Nair | India News

Literary giant ‘with his no-nonsense insistence on free speech’ – who was M T Vasudevan Nair | India News

Madath Thekkepat Vasudevan Nair, or more familiarly MT, the legendary author, editor and screenplay writer, breathed his last in Kozhikode, where he had spent the better part of his 91 years. MT arrived on the literary scene when the socially inclined fiction of pre-Independence India was waning to make way for a more personal and psychological angst. His stories about aristocratic joint families giving way to nuclear ones, nature being consumed by industry, male angst at a time of sudden social change, and women’s defiance of the establishment made him a towering icon not just in Kerala but in the larger cultural landscape of India. He was only 25 when he won the Kerala Sahitya Akademi for Naalukettu (1959), the story of an angry young man who wants to tear down his ancestral house because of how the family treated his rebellious mother. A decade later, MT won the Kendra Sahitya Akademi prize for ‘Kaalam’ (1969), a story about a man who feels all achievement is futile and is looking for a reason to keep …

Aditya Seal: ‘Kajol, Taapsee have a no-nonsense attitude’

Having collaborated with a host of female actors over the years, Aditya Seal confesses his projects have shaped him. Seal, who has featured alongside artistes like Taapsee Pannu, Manisha Koirala, and Kajol, appreciated them for their “no-nonsense attitude”.  The actor says, “Taapsee, Manisha ma’am, and Kajol ma’am are incredible examples of what it means to stay true to your beliefs and never settle for less than you deserve. They embody strength and resilience. I’ve always believed that women must stand up for their rights, and, as men, it’s our responsibility to support and uplift them, whether in our families, workplaces, or society. Empowered women build a stronger world, and I am proud to stand by them.” Seal credits Pannu—his Khel Khel Mein co-star—for turning up on set with an “incredible energy”. “She is sharp, and witty, and knows exactly how to elevate a scene. Watching her commitment taught me a lot about precision in performances. Every actress I’ve worked with has brought something unique to the table. They’ve shaped me into a more versatile actor, …

“Making That Decision…”: India Great’s No-Nonsense Take On Rohit Sharma ‘The Leader’

“Making That Decision…”: India Great’s No-Nonsense Take On Rohit Sharma ‘The Leader’

Former India cricketer and NCA head VVS Laxman on Friday praised Rohit Sharma for taking ownership of the wrong call at the toss in the first Test against New Zealand, saying that he does a “phenomenal job” in leading by example. Rohit’s decision to bat first in the opening Test backfired horribly as India were shot out for a mere 46 inside 32 overs, recording their third lowest total in 593 Tests and lowest-ever in 293 matches on home soil. The Indian captain fronted the media after end of play on Thursday and acknowledged that he erred in reading the M Chinnaswamy Stadium pitch, while citing that not all calls taken by leadership can always be right. “For leaders, it’s humanly impossible not to make mistakes. We won the toss and we elected to bat first and it was counterproductive (because) we were bowled out for 46,” Laxman told a gathering at the Security Now 2024 conference by Seclore. “Who went to the press conference? It was Rohit Sharma. He accepted that ‘yes, …
