Nag Ashwin gives advice to Mrunal Thakur about picking the right movies. Nag Ashwin’s advice for Mrunal Thakur After praising the film during his speech, Nag Ashwin said, “Mrunal I think you are amazing. I am generally very protective of the stuff that you pick. Whenever you do something that’s not great, I am like why is she doing that? She deserves to do much better stuff. And whenever there’s a character that has that depth or sorrow or pain, I think you are like that era of Madhubala and Smita Patil, there are not many people like this. So please don’t do random stuff and do good stuff.” Mrunal …

3 min readMar 23, 2026 05:54 PM IST The Sai pair in Gujarat Titans—Sudharsan and Kishore—say they always talk deeply about the game. “It’s a weird relationship (between them),” Sai Kishore tells Gujarat Titans website. “We talk in detail about the game, the profession and other aspects of the game,” he adds. Sudharsan intervenes: “We don’t discuss the small stuff.” Sai Kishore takes on: “When we discuss it is always a deep conservation.” Sai Sudharsan chimes in: “When somebody listens, they wonder what the hell they are discussing!” Both are from the same city, Chennai. Both are Tamil Nadu teammates and both share a warm bond. They traced the genesis of their game. Sai Kishore reminisces: “I actually took it very early. I studied in a proper academic school. I moved from that school to a proper cricketing school when I was in eighth standard. “How cricket happened to me was actually a mystery,” says Sai Kishore. “I always wanted to get into IIT, become an engineer. Was always a school topper. Naturally, I took …

Iga Swiatek on ‘Battle of the Sexes’ clash between Nick Kyrgios and Aryna Sabalenka: ‘Don’t watch stuff like that’ | Tennis News

Six-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek has said that the ‘Battle of the Sexes’ clash between Nick Kyrgios and Aryna Sabalenka in Dubai last Sunday was not needed for women’s tennis. The 25-year-old said that the women’s game had several great athletes and there was no need to compare it with men’s tennis. She added that while the match gave entertainment to the spectators, it had nothing to do with any social change and was not in any way similar to the clash with the same name between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs in 1973. “I haven’t watched [Sabalenka v Kyrgios] because I don’t watch stuff like that. I think for sure it attracted a lot of attention. It was entertainment, but I wouldn’t say that had anything to do with social change or any important topics.” “I think the name was just the same as the one from the Billie Jean King match in ’73. That’s it. There were no more similarities because I feel like women’s tennis stands on its own right …

‘He doesn’t need to do some of the stuff that he’s doing’: Ricky Ponting on Harry Brook | Cricket News

With England’s Harry Brook managing just a half century in the 6 innings he has played thus far in the Ashes, Australian legend Ricky Ponting advised the batter to adjust the way he plays Down Under or risk the prospect of more frustrating performances. “Look, I love Harry Brook. He’s one of the best players in the world to watch, but I think with some of his dismissals, he’s almost selling himself a bit short on how good he is. He doesn’t need to do some of the stuff that he’s doing. And I guess, I’m sure it’s going to be frustrating for an English fan as well, or even some of his teammates. You know, he’s had a chance to sit back and watch Joe Root go about his cricket for the last 15 years. And to be fair, and this is no knock on Joe Root,” Ponting said on the latest episode of The ICC Review. “Harry Brook’s got every bit as much talent as Joe Root has. You see him trying to …

Daniil Dubov after beating Praggnanandhaa: ‘He failed to pose single problem with white despite probably spending day and night looking at stuff’ | Chess News

Russian grandmaster Daniil Dubov, who sent home India’s R Praggnanandhaa from the FIDE World Cup in the fourth round tiebreaks on Thursday, revealed that he dislikes classical chess so much that he prepared for just 10 minutes for the two classical games against the Indian prodigy, who was a finalist at the last World Cup. Both classical games between Praggnanandhaa and Dubov ended in draws, thus pushing them to fight in the rapid tiebreaks on Thursday, where the former world rapid champion prevailed. Dubov also said that while Pragg spent “day and night looking at chess he had failed to pose a single problem” to him in their classical games. “Generally Praggnanandhaa didn’t show his best in this tournament, not only in this match. I would say it was very close but I think I had some little precious role in the match despite the will to make a draw with white pieces. I didn’t actually mind playing. But it’s just that with white against someone like Pragg who is prepared this well I actually …
