MSD’s secret to success is he remains ’emotionless’ and ‘reactionless’, says Badrinath

Chennai, June 1 Former Chennai Super Kings cricketer S. Badrinath has said that skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s trait of remaining ’emotionless’ and ‘reactionless’ no matter what the situation is something he likes about the celebrated wicketkeeper-batter and added that those were the reasons for his success as well.

CSK has emerged as one of the most successful teams in the IPL, lifting the trophy four times — one less than Mumbai Indians — and Dhoni has had a hand in each winning campaign.

“There is one thing that I like and dislike about Dhoni. It is… We would have won a thrilling match. We would have played superbly and won it. He will remain reactionless. He’ll take the trophy in hand and give it and go away,” said Badrinath, a former India player who also played six seasons for CSK.

“Then we would lose matches very poorly. Against RCB we failed to score 120 runs in one match in Chennai. We lost. He will still remain emotionless. I’d think in surprise — what kind of a person is Dhoni, how does he stay calm and reactionless through all ups and downs! That’s the thing I like about him, and that’s the reason for his success too. I have learned a lot from him. By controlling the emotions, you can get a lot of clarity.

“So say for example someone is bowling, and I don’t like him. Or I don’t like his school. Inside, you’ll feel rage to attack him when you’re batting. That is an emotion. That can lead to a false shot and you can get out. No, you should not have emotions. You should play the ball, not the bowler.”

Badrinath, who played 95 matches for CSK scoring 1441 runs, said the learning he’d got under Dhoni’s captaincy was to never get caught up in emotions.

“Be in the moment, don’t get caught up in your emotions. That’s what I’ve learned from MS Dhoni. It’s a big, big thing. I’m trying to implement it. Mahendra Singh Dhoni is born with that ability!” added Badrinath.

Buttler could still be an outstanding red-ball player, says England men’s cricket MD Rob Key

London, June 1 The managing director of England men’s cricket Rob Key has said that he sees no reason why Jos Buttler should need to retire from Tests cricket, given his breath-taking form, and added that the 32-year-old batter could still become an “outstanding” red-ball player in the near future.

Buttler ended the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 with Rajasthan Royals scoring 863 runs — the second-highest number of runs in one season of the league — notching four centuries and an equal number of half-tons.

The veteran of 57 Tests was dropped from the away three-Test series against the West Indies because of his form in the Ashes, where he managed just 107 runs at 15.28. He missed the fifth and final Test in Australia because of injury and was replaced by Ben Foakes for the Caribbean tour, which England lost 0-1.

Buttler has decent Test credentials, having scored 2,907 runs at an average of 31.94 in 57 Tests but the below-par performance in the Ashes was a big blow to his red-ball credentials.

However, Key, appearing on ‘The Vaughany and Tuffers Cricket Club’ show said, “Well, at the moment, Jos is obviously playing white-ball cricket. He’s not in that Test side but I see no reason why Jos Buttler needs to retire from playing Test cricket.

“Now, unless he turns around and says ‘I just want to go down that white-ball path’ then that’s a different conversation. He’s had a pretty big IPL,” added Key.

“I think he’ll come back and then he will start thinking about things but even if in a year’s time, whenever it is, I don’t see why he has to retire unless he turns around and says, ‘I have no interest in the red-ball game whatsoever, it’s not for me.’ I always thought that he could be an outstanding Test match batsman-wicket-keeper,” added Key.

Pawan Kalyan says KK’s voice ensured the success of ‘Jalsa’

Hyderabad, June 1 Telugu actor-politician Pawan Kalyan expressed his shock over the untimely death of KK by writing a heartfelt, elaborate post about the singer’s impact on his films.

“The sudden demise of noted singer Sri Krishnakumar Kunnath, popularly known as KK, pained me immensely,” Pawan Kalyan said in a press note released on Wednesday. “Sri KK had a special style of singing in the world of film music and I pray to God that his soul may rest in peace.”

Talking about his connection with KK, Pawan Kalyan said: “The songs he sang in my films greatly impressed both fans and music lovers.”

He then went on to list the KK songs that he remembered fondly. “The song ‘Ye Mera Jahan’ in ‘Kushi’ has reached people of all ages,” Pawan Kalyan said. “The voice of Sri KK is the reason for its success.” He then mentioned ‘My Heart is Beating, Adola’ in ‘Jalsa’, ‘Inthe Inthinthe’ (‘Balu’), ‘Naalo Nuvvu Sagami’ (‘Johnny’), and ‘Le Le Le’ (‘Gudumba Shankar’).

“All these songs not only attracted the audience but also topped the charts, making music lovers hum the tunes forever,” the ‘Jalsa’ actor noted.

“Shockingly, he died just after he completed a musical concert. He was singing till his last breath. I offer my deep condolences to the bereaved family members of Sri KK. Only God can endow psychological courage to the family,” the note concluded.

Chennaiyin FC sign young winger Vincy Barretto for the 2022-23 ISL season

Chennai, June 1 Chennaiyin FC has roped in young winger Vincy Barretto on a multi-year deal ahead of the 2022-23 Indian Super League.

The Goa-born footballer will join the two-time champions after a successful debut ISL campaign with Kerala Blasters last season.

Barretto contributed to Kerala Blasters’ runners-up finish with two goals from 17 matches, which also includes a left-footed screamer against Hyderabad FC from outside the box in a league game.

It is also Chennaiyin FC’s first transfer this year.

“We are happy to bring in Vincy Barretto who will add youthful energy to our attack. At the age of 22, he is already known for his capabilities. This is a very positive signing for us leading into season 9,” said Chennaiyin FC co-owner Vita Dani on the arrival of the youngster on the side.

Barretto recently had an impressive outing in the inaugural edition of the Reliance Foundation Development League, where he struck three goals from seven matches for the Blasters.

A product of Dempo SC, Barretto will add speed and depth to the wings for the Marina Machans. He will also provide the offensive punch and support to the forward line by creating goal-scoring opportunities.

“I’m very excited to join Chennaiyin FC, a club that has already been successful in its little history. My only goal is to win more titles with the club,” said the 22-year-old.

After being part of the Dempo SC’s youth set-up, Barretto received his first senior contract with FC Goa’s reserve side at the age of 18. He spent three years there, winning the 2018-19 Goa Professional League and also making nine appearances in the I-League second division.

Later, he moved to an I-League club Gokulam Kerala and played a crucial role in their maiden title-winning campaign on his debut season in 2020-21. His skilled show captured the attention of Kerala Blasters last year with whom he also played the 2021 Durand Cup.

Chennaiyin FC has already signed star Indian midfielder Anirudh Thapa for a fresh two-year deal. And now with the addition of Barretto, the club will look to promote young Indian talents and build a strong squad for the upcoming ISL seasons.

“The ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup has been the stepping stone for so many of the world’s best male players, so we are excited to see how the inaugural U19 women’s edition will drive the growth of women’s cricket and improve the number of elite international playing opportunities for females at this age group in the years to come.”

Asia Regional Development Manager Aminul Islam said he was looking forward to the Qualifier in his region, and believes it will be an effective tool in identifying upcoming talent.

“We are embarking on a very exciting journey where we will see some of the most exciting young female talents in Asia competing in Malaysia next week,” he said.

“The participating teams are all hopeful of making history by competing at the first-ever ICC U19 Women’s T20 World Cup, and there’s no question we’ll see some excellent cricket take place to determine who qualifies.

BTS speaks with President Joe Biden about anti-Asian hate crimes

Los Angeles, June 1 For the final day of Asian American and Pacific Islanders Heritage, K-pop supergroup BTS stopped by the White House on Tuesday to speak with US President Joe Biden about Asian inclusion and representation.

Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre introduced the group and RM kicked off the press conference in English by introducing themselves and thanking the White House and Biden for the opportunity to speak on “the important issues of anti-Asian hate crimes, Asian inclusion, and diversity,” reports ‘Variety’.

Then, each of the guys took turns speaking in Korean with Jin and Jimin expressing how honored they were to be standing for their community at the White House on the last day of AAPI Month.

Jimin said: “We were devastated by the recent surge of hate crimes to put a stop to this and support the cause, we’d like to take this opportunity to (lend our voices).”

J Hope added: “We are here today thanks to our Army – our fans worldwide – who have different nationalities and cultures and use different languages. We are truly and always grateful.”

Jungkook concluded their speech by sharing that the band was “still surprised that music created by South Korean artists reaches so many people around the world… we believe music is always an amazing and wonderful unifier of all things.”

Suga also added, “It’s not wrong to be different, equality begins when we open up and embrace all of our differences.”

V said: “We hope today is one step forward to respecting and understanding each and everyone as a valuable person.”

In total, over a quarter-million people tuned in to see the band speak on the White House’s YouTube Livestream.

Amid last year’s spike of anti-Asian hate crimes in the US, BTS spoke out about their own experience with discrimination via Twitter saying: “We cannot put into words the pain of becoming the subject of hatred and violence for such a reason. Our own experiences are inconsequential compared to the events that have occurred over the past few weeks. But these experiences were enough to make us feel powerless and chip away our self-esteem.”

In May of 2021, Biden signed a bipartisan bill geared at addressing the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes into law in May 2021. The bill was introduced to aid the reporting of hate crimes, making them more easily accessible at the local and state levels by boosting public outreach.

As a part of this year’s AANHPI Heritage Month, Biden issued a proclamation late last month about the contributions of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders to the country’s history and culture.

He and Vice President Kamala Harris – who is half Indian – also hosted a White House reception earlier in the month that included US Trade Representative Katherine Tai.

Two days later, the White House lauded the passage of legislation to establish a commission to study the possible creation of a National Museum of Asian Pacific American History and Culture.

In recent months the President has welcomed several performers, including Olivia Rodrigo and the Jonas Brothers, to the White House, most often as part of vaccination efforts.

The US to send medium-range rocket systems to Ukraine

Washington, June 1 The US will send medium-range rocket systems to Ukraine in a new security assistance package, senior administration officials have said.

A $700-million weapon package is to be formally unveiled on Wednesday, including High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), which are to enable Ukraine to fire more precisely at targets in its eastern part, the officials were quoted as saying by Xinhua news agency.

The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Ukrainian officials had offered assurances that the HIMARS would not be used to strike targets inside the Russian territory.

The announcement came amid reports that the US was preparing to aid Ukraine with advanced long-range rocket systems, something Kiev is craving in its fights against Russia in the eastern Donbass region.

Instead of those long-range rocket systems that can travel as far as 186 miles (300 km), the United States is sending what it considers medium-range rockets to Ukraine, ones that can travel about 50 miles (80 km), according to the officials.

Also on Tuesday, US President Joe Biden wrote in a guest essay carried by The New York Times that his administration will continue to “provide the Ukrainians with more advanced rocket systems and munitions that will enable them to more precisely strike key targets on the battlefield in Ukraine”.

The US does not seek “a war” between NATO and Russia, Biden said.

On Monday, he ruled out the possibility of Washington sending to Ukraine “rocket systems that can strike into Russia.”

New Delhi, June 1 Actor Akshay Kumar, ‘Samrat Prithviraj’ director Chandraprakash Dwivedi and debutante Manushi Chhillar paid tribute to the valour of king Prithviraj at his Delhi fort Qila Rai Pithora on Wednesday.

Qila Rai Pithora is a fortified complex in the capital and was the centre point of Prithviraj’s reign.

The team visited this fort with the brave warrior’s flag after having sought blessings at the sacred Somnath Temple and the holy river of the Ganges. They placed the flag at Prithviraj’s statue to culminate their tour of India to honour the mighty king who sacrificed everything to protect the freedom of the country against merciless invaders.

Looking dapper in Indian wear, Akshay, who plays the titular role, was seen walking bare feet in the Delhi heat to pay his tribute to the king. Manushi looked every inch gorgeous as she sported an all-white ensemble.

Dwivedi says, “As a team, we wanted to give the most glorious salute to the spirit of Samrat Prithviraj through our film and also our promotional campaign.”

“We hope that we have managed to do that and honour one of Bharatmata’s bravest warriors who stood up against invaders who wanted to kill and loot and disrespect our country and countrymen.”

The director added: “We humbly hail the Samrat for being a beacon of hope and courage and we are overwhelmed to place the flag that represented freedom and honour at Samrat Prithviraj’s statue at Qila Rai Pithora. We hope every Indian watches our film to understand the sacrifice that one man did for our country.”

The film is set to release on June 3 in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.

Salman’s security beefed up in the wake of Moosewala’s murder

Mumbai, June 1 Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s security has been stepped up following the murder of Punjabi singer and rapper Sidhu Moosewala.

As per a media report, the strengthening of security comes after gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who is currently lodged in Tihar jail, has emerged as the key accused in Moosewala’s murder.

A senior police official told the media that the Mumbai police has enhanced the overall security of the star to ensure he’s safe from the activities of the Bishnoi’s gang that operates from Rajasthan.

For the uninitiated, Salman was earlier on Bishnoi’s radar after the infamous blackbuck poaching case during the shoot of ‘Hum Saath Saath Hain’. Bishnoi community considers blackbuck to be a sacred animal and Salman’s involvement in poaching had hurt the community’s sentiments.

Bishnoi had earlier 2018 threatened to kill Salman.

Rahul alias Sunni, one of Bishnoi’s close associates arrested in 2020 for murder, said that they had hatched a plan to kill Salman and had even visited Mumbai to conduct a recce for the murder.

Sidhu Moosewala was murdered in Punjab’s Mansa district on Sunday as he was intercepted by assailants while he was driving an SUV.

Salman will be next seen in ‘Tiger 3’ along with Katrina Kaif. He has also been working on ‘Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali’.

Missing the trophy yet again but RCB bowlers cover themselves in glory

Missing the trophy yet again but RCB bowlers cover themselves in glory

Mumbai, June 1 Royal Challengers Bangalore may have been unlucky one more time in their bid to lift the Indian Premier League trophy, but three of their bowlers — Sri Lankan leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga, Australian pace stalwart Josh Hazlewood and the ever-dependable Harshal Patel — were at the forefront of their campaign in the just-concluded season.

The combined effort of the three bowlers, and of course the efforts of their death-overs batter Dinesh Karthik, were the positives for the Faf du Plessis-led side as it aims to regroup for the next season.

In fact, Hasaranga eventually missed the ‘Purple Cap’ by a whisker to his former teammate, Yuzvendra Chahal, but the kind of domination that he wove over the span of the tournament was too overwhelming to be refuted. The Sri Lankan eventually finished IPL 2022 with a haul of 26 wickets at a superb economy rate of 7.54.

While Josh Hazlewood did earn the dubious distinction of being the most expensive bowler in IPL 2022, with figures of 4-0-64-0 against Punjab Kings in a league match, the tall Australian pacer was otherwise an asset in the death overs. More than choking the chase frequently apart from his immaculate powerplay spells, the 31-year-old finished his campaign with 20 wickets from 12 matches at an economy rate of 8.1.

Not to forget the ever-dependable Harshal Patel, the Purple Cap winner last season and the biggest asset RCB possess. The pace bowler mixed his weapons intelligently, producing the all-important mishits, and just when it felt that someone could threaten to take the game away from RCB, he would plug in with those crucial spells. He eventually ended his campaign on a high with a haul of 19 wickets at an economy rate of 7.67.
