No mystery but spin trio the unlikely heroes for New Zealand with street-smart practical wisdom

No mystery but spin trio the unlikely heroes for New Zealand with street-smart practical wisdom

Quartets, trifectas and pairs in cricket walk with an aura. But New Zealand’s trio of Cole McConchie, Mitchell Santner and Rachin Ravindra trudge without a halo. They have been the most modest, yet most prolific, spin firm in the tournament, firing New Zealand’s unrealistic dream. Between them, they have snared 15 wickets and conceded just 7.22 runs an over, without wielding any mystique or mystery; just plain practical wisdom practised to perfection. Opposition batsmen would not lose sleep over any of them; neither would they spend countless hours dissecting their wrist positions and releases; they would not make frantic calls to friends or teammates who had played them. They are the staple spinners they would have encountered a thousand times. But yet, they could not conquer them. The combined figures of the three on Wednesday read 9-0-54-4. A run a ball; four wickets. Job well done. None would remember the spells, but teammates would vouch for their impact. When Rachin boarded the flight to India, he would not have anticipated in his wildest dreams that …

Soha Ali Khan calls it ‘practical’ to accept paparazzi as she reacts to Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt’s decision to keep Raha away: ‘We’ve chosen to be…’

Soha Ali Khan calls it ‘practical’ to accept paparazzi as she reacts to Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt’s decision to keep Raha away: ‘We’ve chosen to be…’

Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt humbly requested the paparazzi last month not to click their daughter Raha’s picture following the attack on Saif Ali Khan. Days later, Soha Ali Khan, who is also a mother to a 7-year-old daughter, shared her views on the matter.  While speaking with News 18, Soha Ali Khan stated that while she and her husband Kunal Kemmu also keep having such conversations, their relationship with the paps has been “respectful.” She remembered once they were taking their daughter, Inaaya Naumi Kemmu, to swimming, and their request was fulfilled after they asked the paparazzi not to click their pictures.   She emphasized that respect is still here, unlike Hollywood, and expressed gratitude about not reaching that stage yet. “We’ve chosen to be public figures, our children haven’t. Therefore, I feel that they shouldn’t be affected by it. Having said that, it’s a part and parcel of life. We can’t fight against it. It’s more practical to accept it and to have that conversation with your child that there’s a certain interest in you and …
