The first episode of Netflix’s comedy show, The Great Indian Kapil Show, was lukewarm, yet the guests were amazing. Neetu Kapoor and her family, and the stories related to their family members were the highlights of the first episode. Even though the entire episode fell flat, it was a good start to the first season of the show on the streaming giant’s platform. The first episode paved the way for the next one. The guests this time are the star cricketer, and the captain of the Indian cricket team, Shreyas Iyer and Rohit Sharma are the new guests. Both are acclaimed Indian batsmen who have left quite an impact on the international game and received laurels for their performances in winning many cricket matches for Team India at home and abroad.

The Great Indian Kapil Show Episode 2 Was As Lame As Episode 1 ( Photo Credit – Instagram )
Another episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show has aired, and I am still waiting for the jokes to make me laugh. But the only thing that gets offered is cringe and some more cringe. This week, cricketers Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer made their appearance on the show amidst the Ipl fever.
There was a time when cross-dressing by comedians was fun and created laughter, but it might be a passe thing, or probably the next step to every cross-dressing joke is crossing the thin line between fun and discomfort.
This week, the line was clearly crossed when Sunil Grover tried to create laughter as an engineer undressed into a cheerleader, opening his jumpsuit and turning into a skin show of a short skirt and a crop tank.

Box Office – Madgaon Express stays stable on Wednesday ( Photo Credit – Zee Music Company / YouTube )
Madgaon Express did well on Wednesday as it stayed stable at the box office. On Tuesday, the day after Holi, the film had collected 1.46 crores which was hardly any drop from Friday’s numbers of 1.63 crores. Now, on Wednesday, when the Holi holiday effect has worn off, the film still did well enough to bring on 1.21 crores.
The drop is lesser than expected as one thought that the film would manage to cross 1 crore mark, but still just about. However, it has managed over 20 lakhs more and that indicates good trending. That said, from an absolute numbers perspective, the film is still just about hanging in there, and that should stay on to be the case today as well. What it would all eventually boil down to is how well does the momentum continue in the second weekend.

Legendary Indian cricketer Kapil Dev, who brought home the first World Cup for India in 1983, recently attended the screening of the Punjabi film ‘Jahankilla’. The former Indian cricketer said that the film not only entertains but it also inspires.
He also shared that the film portrays Punjab’s valorous spirit.
‘Jahankilla’ is a story of sacrifice, love, friendship, and patriotism set against the backdrop of Punjab’s villages, and is a heartfelt tribute to the first responders.
Sharing his thoughts post the preview of the film, Kapil Dev said: “I am deeply honoured to support the talented young team behind ‘Jahankilla’. Their dedication to storytelling and their portrayal of Punjab’s valorous spirit truly resonated with me.

With Tamil mega star Rajinikanth making an extended cameo in his daughter Aiswarya’s third film, ‘Lal Salam’, the film is being hailed on its opening day for its message of communal amity.
Kapil Dev, Team India’s 1983 World Cup-winning captain, also has a substantial role in this cricket-centric movie.
Aiswarya, who is helming a movie after a seven-year hiatus, is being lauded for her excellent direction, but the screenplay at times moves a tad too slowly.
Nonetheless, the 150-minute movie has opened to a huge response with the mega star entering in style as Moideen bhai.
Rajanikanth’s 2023 film, ‘Jailer’, which made Rs 607 crore at the box office, is rated by IMDb as the third highest-grossing Tamil movie of all time, the first being Shankar’s film ‘2.0’, featuring the mega star in the lead.
Made by Subhaskaran Alirajah for Lyca Productions, the film manages to touch a responsive chord with viewers.

Fitness has become a major issue of concern in cricket at present. A cricketer looks far leaner, fitter, more agile and athletic than ever before.
However, frequent breakdowns seem to be the norm of a cricketer’s life today, even though, they now travel and stay in comfort and have a staff of professionals at their beck and call to look after them.
A line from the famous poem “Little Man Cricketer” written by Frank Jones comes to mind, “Cricket is a game for a real live man, keep fit little man keep fit”. The poem goes on to talk of various aspects of the game, from dropping a catch to winning or losing or getting out on the very first ball and through it all it says, “Just smile”.
Unfortunately, “just smile” is exactly what the fans and followers of cricket are putting up with as regards players’ fitness.

Mumbai, Aug 21 (Ians) The return of Jasprit Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna has bolstered the Indian fast bowling attack and gives it a healthy look but the problems in the spin department are worrisome, according to former India pacer Karsan Ghavri. Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna have made a successful return from long injury layoffs in the ongoing T20I series against Ireland, which has also earned them a call-up for the Asia Cup to be held in Sri Lanka and Pakistan.
“It’s good news (for the Indian team) that both Bumrah and Krishna are looking fit and right now, you know, are playing in Ireland. They are in for Asia Cup and hopefully for the World Cup too they should be 100% fit and available.

The only surprise was the inclusion of Ajinkya Rahane, a middle-order batter with plenty of experience. Although a cricketer’s performance in the Indian Premier League (Ipl) is talked about as never one to be considered for an India selection, one can take that comment with a pinch of salt.
The recent parade of newly-crowned Indian players in the last decade has all emerged through their super performance in the Ipl. Ajinkya, a seasoned performer at the highest level of the game, was languishing in the domestic circuit, after having been dropped from the Indian Test side, and this is a good example of his resurgence through the Ipl.
The word "transformation" has taken the corporate world by storm. The famous word indicates that if a company does not transform and adapt to the fast-moving world of today, then its’ future is in jeopardy. Ajinkya, an intelligent and serious-thinking cricketer,...

Cricket has never had such an enormous and variable audience and therefore, quite rightly so, a plethora of ideas and innovations are cropping up to make the game even more interesting. The famous marketing line of a “customer is always right” is the mantra that the cricketers and the marketeers are vociferously following. The cricket fans want action, glamour, heroes and trend setters and the T20 format is ideally suited to provide that.
The changes in the rules of cricket, therefore, are being gradually tested on the shorter format of the game and in tournaments that are independently run, like the Indian Premier League (Ipl). The “Impact” player option has been introduced in this years’ edition of the Ipl and one can already see its usefulness.
Most of the coaches in the Ipl have come forth positively about it, as it does make a side’s decision making of a playing eleven that much easier.

Unfortunately for India, they lost by a narrow margin of 5 runs against a champion side. The match was at a critical stage when India had just put their nose ahead. A casual second run resulted in the "run out" of their captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, which was an unsavoury end to her stupendous innings.
Her departure was the catalyst that revived the Australian spirits. The Indian women, thereafter, fought well, however, the untiring and tenacious fielding efforts by the Australians, kept them just ahead.
The captains of both sides showed exemplary leadership. They were determined to lead from the front and Lannings for Australia and Kaur for India were superbly brilliant in their batting display.
The famous song, "Give me one moment in time" sung during the 1988 Summer Olympics by Whitney Houston comes to my mind. Harmanpreet, heartbroken and teary-eyed, will forever remember that moment in which she erred on the...

New Delhi, Jan 25 (Ians) India’s right-arm fast-bowler Mohammed Siraj has become the new number one bowler in the Icc Men’s Odi Player Rankings for bowlers, going past New Zealand’s left-arm seamer Trent Boult and Australia’s fast bowler Josh Hazlewood.
It’s a remarkable rise for Siraj, who only returned to India’s Odi setup in February last year following a three-year hiatus from the format and was even named in Men’s Odi Team of the Year for 2022 on Tuesday. Siraj’s rise to the top is more astonishing considering that he conceded 76 runs on his Odi debut against Australia in Adelaide in January 2019.
Since his Odi comeback, Siraj, 28, has collected 37 wickets from 20 matches to be one of India’s most consistent fast bowlers and earning accolades from the cricketing world over providing crucial strikes with the ball in the first ten overs in the initial...

One of the major concerns discussed, it seems, was the fitness of the cricketers. The frequent breaking down of players due to injuries has caused a major disruption in the progress of the Indian cricket side. Once again, like several times in the past, the need has arisen as to how to get an Indian cricket team as a fit unit for a big occasion.
The Yo-Yo Test was introduced by the Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri combo, which, over time, gradually faded into oblivion. However, it has once again come back as a mandatory requirement, solely because of the losses that India have faced in the Icc-staged tournaments.
Injuries are a part and parcel of playing a sport. To identify it as the major concern of a cricket side and its failure in the present scenario is quite ridiculous. The main area of concern is not fitness, as...

Bollywood megastar Ranveer Singh is stoked about the Friday release of Rohit Shetty’s comedy “Cirkus.”
The film was shot under strict Covid-19 protocols and is one of the major post-pandemic Bollywood releases. “It’s made with joy, and its objective is to spread joy. So, the Christmas release is coming at just the right time, when families get together and go out and do joint activities – movie-going being one of them. It’s the perfect fit, coming at the perfect time and I get to explore yet another facet of my repertoire,” Singh told Variety.
In the 12 years since he made his debut as a happy-go-lucky wedding planner in “Band Baaja Baaraat” (2010), Singh has essayed a variety of roles ranging from a conflicted army general in historical drama “Bajirao Mastani” (2015) to playing the antagonist in epic “Padmaavat” (2018), a rapper from the slums of Mumbai in “Gully Boy” (2019) and World...

The phrase "Hand of God" made famous by Diego Maradona, in what is termed in a very loose way, somehow always seems to find itself blessing the legends of the sport. Messi, the champion footballer, was the one to receive it when most required at this World Cup. Argentina was one of the favourite sides not only because of the way they play the game of football but also because one wished Messi to win it for his immense contribution to the sport.
They did so in splendid style and richly deserved it.
Argentina’s success was a good example of the uncertainty that sports bring to the table. The football world was shocked when they lost their opening match of the World Cup to Saudi Arabia. Argentina, thereafter, needed to win both their matches to qualify. However, the loss put a shadow of doubt on their ability. Champions, they say,...

The former Indian captain knows a thing or two about a terrific win, as he was part of the history-making Indian team which won the Cricket World Cup at the Lord’s Cricket Ground in 1983 under the leadership of Kapil Dev, a win which would change the face of cricket in the country.
It was a final which was an absolute thriller, with six goals scored in 120 minutes, a late fightback from France, not once but twice and then the penalty shoot-out which decided the title winner.
Nearly four decades back Gavaskar and his teammates were rank outsiders against the then high and mighty West Indies, but they pulled off one of the sensational wins in the low-scoring final over the Caribbean cricketers.
The win on Sunday was a thriller albeit on a football field.
