Scary Scenes In Galle As KL Rahul's Fiery Shot Hits Sri Lanka Star On Helmet

Day 1 of the first Test between India and Sri Lanka in Galle witnessed a scary moment as KL Rahul 's shot struck Nishan Madushka on the helmet. After winning the toss, India skipper Shubman Gill opted to bat first as the visitors began their 600th Test match. Openers KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal looked in fine touch and provided India with a solid start. However, during the 10th over, bowled by Prabath Jayasuriya , Rahul's shot crashed into Madushka, leaving players and spectators stunned. On the fifth ball of the over, Rahul attempted a low sweep. Madushka, stationed at short leg, realised he was in trouble and tried to duck, but the ball struck the centre of his helmet. The impact immediately prompted Sri Lanka's team physio to rush onto the field. Seeing Madushka down, Rahul initially hesitated before taking a single, but Jaiswal had already crossed halfway down the pitch, leaving him with no option but to complete the run. Afterward, Rahul immediately went over t...

"What Happened Between Gambhir And Kohli...": Kapil On 'Painful' IPL Spat

The on-field verbal spat behind Royal Challengers Bangalore star Virat Kohli and Lucknow Super Giants mentor Gautam Gambhir during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 resulted in a massive controversy. Both of them were handed hefty fines for their conduct and the entire incident attracted criticism from several ex-cricketers. Legendary Indian cricket team skipper Kapil Dev opened up about his feelings regarding the spat and said that the Board for Cricket Control in India (BCCI) needs to “groom players to be good citizens” off the field. 

“They (BCCI) have to groom players to be good citizens also. What happened between Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli in the IPL, it was painful for me," Kapil said in an interview with The Week.

“My two most important people―Virat Kohli, one of the top batters in the world; Gambhir is now member of Parliament―how can they behave in such a manner? But sportsmen do lose their mind, from Pele to Don Bradman to all people," the former India skipper added.

Meanwhile, former India fast bowler Venkatesh Prasad launched a scathing criticism of Team India after they were beaten by West Indies in the second ODI encounter in Barbados. India went into the match without Rohit Sharma and Kohli but the other batters were unable to make up for their absence.

“Despite the money and power, we have become used to celebrating mediocrity and are far from how champion sides are. Every team plays to win and so does India but their approach and attitude is also a factor for underperformance over a period of time,” he tweeted.

It's been long since the IPL 2023 season concluded but the incident still remains fresh in the minds of fans. Though there have been a few incidents of altercations between two players in the league, nothing of that magnitude arguably ever took place.

Hollywood Shuts Down As Actors Go On Strike

Hollywood's actors announced Thursday they will go on strike, joining writers in the first industry-wide shutdown in 63 years after last-ditch talks failed, with nearly all film and television production set to grind to a halt. The Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA), which represents 160,000 performers including A-list stars, said negotiations had ended without a deal on their demands over dwindling pay and the threat posed by artificial intelligence. "SAG-AFTRA's national board unanimously voted to issue a strike order against the studios and streamers," said the union's chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland. The strike will begin at midnight Thursday (0700 GMT Friday), meaning actors will join writers on picket lines from Friday morning in the first Hollywood "double strike" since 1960. Writers have already spent 11 weeks on the picket line, after their similar demands for better pay and protections against the future use of AI in television and fi...
