Cricket has become more widespread around the world. A game can last five days in test cricket, but this is not the case in Twenty20 Cricket. Because of Twenty20 Cricket’s rising popularity, more opportunities have arisen for players. More and more players are getting into this game, who would have otherwise retired by the age of 30, the reason being their declining skill levels or anything drastic. Apart from its short duration and quick results, the IPL became popular because it brought Indian and international stars together in one team.

There are many other leagues worldwide that you might find interesting just as you do to IPL in India. Those leagues are already getting huge followers and thus brands are eager to come on board and pitch in sponsorship fees. So, let’s dive into this article and find out the globally celebrated T20 Cricket leagues.

IPL (Indian Premier League)

As far as Cricket leagues are concerned, the Indian Premier League (IPL) stands head and shoulders above the rest. Since its beginning in 2008, the IPL has revolutionized Cricket by making it a more commercial sport – but not to such an extent that many purists began to hate watching the game actively. It has also helped boost Cricket merchandising sales, and not just that, the IPL has transformed players into celebrities. Many players have come from insignificant to important with the help of heightened media exposure. The same reason also attracts many celebrities in India to give their time for its staging, which transcends sporting events with performances by Bollywood superstars like Shilpa Shetty, Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta, and many more. IPL is now counted amongst the most famous leagues worldwide, owing to its popularity and unique format.

Masters Champions League

Caribbean Premier League

The Caribbean Premier League is a professional T20 cricket league in the Caribbean. It was created in 2013 and replaced the Caribbean Twenty 20 because it was more entertaining and engaging for people. CPL is the only cricketing tournament in the Caribbean that gets such a great response from both players and fans alike, with spectators even coming from Hollywood, as said by many actors who have supported West Indian cricket publicly on social media.

In an interview with, Dainik Jagran, the former pacer said that if he were in Virat’s place he wouldn’t have married when it is the time to score runs and enjoy cricket, as these 10 to 12 years are precious and don’t come back. He also added that it is not wrong to marry while playing for the Indian cricket team, but he should have maintained the reputation of the love and support he is getting from his fans for the past 20 years.

He also added that once you get married and start a family, there is a lot of pressure from the children of the family. The pressure increases with the responsibilities and the career span of cricketers are short like 14 to 15 years and one can only stay at its peak for 5 to 6 years. He also added that those years have passed for Virat and now he is just left to struggle.

He also stated that being a Captain is a big responsibility, for which one has to think a lot, face the media and the brands, and everything that comes with the position and title. So, one shouldn’t have family pressure while playing. He added that he himself got married only after he retired from Captaincy and that he is not against marriage.

In International Cricket, Virat has been struggling to score a century for over two years. Whenever he manages to score a century everyone hopes that he maintains his form but somehow that has not been happening for a long time now. Kohli recently resigned from the position of India’s Test Captain after staying in charge for seven years. He also stepped down from being the leader of the Indian team in the T20I Cricket. The former Indian Captain and the BCCI president Sourav Ganguly have not been on good terms. Both have different versions of their story when it comes to Virat’s resignation from the ODI Captaincy.

During an interview with ANI, Shoaib Akhtar said that the Indian Cricket Board has forced Kohli to step down from the Indian Captaincy and that Virat has no intention of leaving his ODI Captaincy. He also added that it is time for Kohli to prove himself to the world.

There has been a lot going on in Kohli’s career right now, he was also criticized by a Sri Lankan reporter recently for his dismissal for a Duck in the second ODI against South Africa.

Virat Kohli married Anushka Sharma, a Bollywood actress in 2017, on 11th December in Italy. Reportedly Virat said that he had never formally proposed to Anushka and they were just meant to be together. He also said that he never had a doubt, they were in love with each other and they were happy and excited to live together. They also have a daughter Vamika, who was born in 2021, on 11th January. Virat has always been a loving and supportive husband.

This is not the first time that Virat and Anushka have been targeted, during the IPL 2020, reportedly IPL commentator, Sunil Gavaskar made a Sexist remark on Virat’s wife, Anushka, he referred to a viral video of the couple where they were seen playing cricket casually in 2020 Lockdown, at their home, he remarked that Virat’s poor performance in the match is due to the reason that he has been practicing on his wife’s bowling. Later Gavaskar denied this and said that his comment was being misinterpreted and that he did not intend on blaming her or hurting her feelings. Anushka has often been targeted for Virat’s poor performance. Anushka once responded to these controversies by saying that she chose to stay quiet every time she was blamed for her husband’s poor performance even after getting blamed for baseless things involving the game. She also added that her silence should not be mistaken as her weakness, she asked the people blaming her to come up with facts and proof or just leave her OUT of it.

Anshuman Gaekwad, a Former India cricketer, reportedly said that Virat needs to go back to his basics and do some soul-searching. He gave some examples of Indian Cricketers like Mohinder Amarnath and Sunil Gavaskar, who also went through some dry spells but came back to their form again. He feels that Virat is going through the same phase, it’s a cycle, that is the reason Virat is not being able to score runs. He also added that Virat is very impulsive unlike the other two players and that he might get overboard with overconfidence and develop certain habits that might lead to his downfall. He feels that Virat is young, he is just 33 years old, he is fit and his reflexes are good, he should focus on improving his game.

Here’s what master blaster, Sachin Tendulkar has to say about Virat’s poor form, he says that it had not been a great start for Virat, the mind leads to technical errors and when the start is not good, one starts thinking a lot of things. The anxiety level increases, and that affects the movements. He also added that this happens to everyone when a Batsman is not in good form. Mind and body coordination is very important in a match.

David Warner, the Australian opener also feels that Virat is going to spring back to his old form. He also added that Coronavirus has also added to the misery of the players.

KKR Gives A Perfect Response To Mohammad Kaif After He Jokes About Playing In IPL 2022

0

To play in the upcoming season of the IPL, former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif has jokingly stated that he and Yusuf Pathan are available. In the ongoing inaugural edition of Legends League Cricket (LLC), both players are featuring the Indian Maharajas. Kaif amassed an unbeaten 42 while Pathan scored 80 runs off just 40 balls. After the team was tottering at 34/3 at one stage, both the batters stitched a partnership of 117 for the fourth wicket.

Thanks to Upul Tharanga (66) and Misbah-ul-Haq (44*), Asia Lions posted a total of 175/7 while batting first. For India, Manpreet Gony took three wickets, Munaf Patel, and Stuart Binny took one each, and Irfan Pathan scalped a couple as well. In reply, the Mohammad Kaif-led side had a poor start. They lost the wickets of S. Badrinath (0), Stuart Binny (10), and Naman Ojha (20) cheaply.

With five balls to spare, the fourth wicket partnership between Mohammad Kaif and Yusuf Pathan made sure the team went over the line. In just 10 deliveries, Irfan played a cameo of unbeaten 21. Now on January 24, both the teams will face each other again.

After winning that match, Kaif posted a picture of him and Yusuf Pathan stating that both the players are ready to play the IPL. Kaif took to his Twitter handler and tweeted, “IPL teams we are ready. DM before the auction. Ek pe ek free wala option bhi hai ….”

KKR Funny Reply To Kaif’s Tweet:

After seeing Kaif’s tweet, the 2012 and 2014 winners Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) were quick to give a funny response. With a caption, “Offer toh zabardast hai! #IPLAuction,” they posted a GIF video that read “Bhai Wah.”

Previously, both the players have played for different teams in the IPL. In 2008 and 2009, Kaif has played for Rajasthan Royals. However, he moved to Kings XI Punjab in 2010. After that, he was bought by Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2011 and played for the side till the 2013 season. Apart from that, in the now-defunct Gujarat Lions in the 2017 season, he has worked as an assistant coach to Brad Hodge. In 2019 and 2020, he also worked as an assistant coach for Delhi Capitals.

If we talk about Yusuf Pathan, he also played alongside Kaif in the Royals set-up. In 2008, they were part of the inaugural champions side. He moved to Kolkata Knight Riders in 2011 and kept playing till 2017. He was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2018 and played for the team till 2019. However, he announced his retirement from all forms of the game in February last year.

Reaction Of Netizens On Kaif’s Tweet:

Netizens went crazy after seeing the tweet of Mohammad Kaif and many of them requested to bring Yusuf Pathan Back in the game. One Twitter user tweeted, “KKR deserves such players” while another user wrote, “KKR, please bring Yusuf Pathan back.” Check out some of the reactions of netizens.

Reportedly Salman and Aishwarya started seeing each other in 1997. At that time Salman was already in a relationship with Somy Ali and was a renowned superstar in Bollywood. It was heard that in 1997, during the shoot of ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam‘, Salman was the one who recommended Aishwarya’s name to the director, Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

After the movie which was a blockbuster, rumors started surfacing that the lead actor and actress are together. This became the talk of the industry that Aishwarya was Salman’s girlfriend. Somy Ali left Salman Khan after his link-ups with Aishwarya and she settled in the US. Salman and Aishwarya got closer and it is said that the actress was very close to Salman’s sisters.

They dated for a few years but eventually, in 2001, the couple went through a rough patch. Reportedly one night in 2001, Salman went to Aishwarya’s apartment. Eyewitnesses stated that he was seen banging on the apartment door of the actress filled with rage. This continued till 3 a.m. in the morning and allegedly Salman’s hands were bleeding. The actress had to let him in eventually. Sources say that Salman wanted to settle down so he went to her apartment to propose to her for marriage but Aishwarya was not in the mindset of settling down at that moment, she wanted to focus on her career.

Later in an interview, Salman confirmed the incident but said that it was not that extreme and serious. He said that they were just going through a rough patch and arguments happen in all kinds of relationships. He also said that he went to her house because he loved her, he wouldn’t do that for a stranger. Sources say that Aishwarya’s father, Krishnaraj Rai reported the incident to the police. Salman reacted to it by saying that her father’s accusation was not wrong and that her parents are very nice people. He also said that in spite of everything her parents did not stop him from seeing her and that he should have behaved properly with her father.

Sohail Khan, brother of Salman Khan reportedly said that Aishwarya used to visit their family but she never acknowledged their relationship, so Salman felt insecure about their relationship and acted out.

At Filmfare Awards 2002, Aishwarya attended the function with a fractured arm, which led to the rumors that Salman has been physically abusing her. Later the actress confirmed that she fell down the stairs but the media was not in the mood to accept her statement which made her furious. She said that if she is attacked physically she would fight back, she is not a helpless woman. She claimed that the rumors of physical assault were baseless.

During the shoot of her movie ‘Kuch Naa Kaho’, it was reported that Salman damaged the actress’s car in a fit of rage. It was also heard that Salman went to visit his Ex-girlfriend Somy in the US because she needed some monetary help from him for her father’s operation. He made a huge mistake by not informing Aishwarya before leaving, this made their relationship more strenuous.

After a few months, on 27 September 2002, Aishwarya admitted for the first time that she was in an abusive relationship with Salman. She also claimed that the actor cheated on her. In an interview, she said that they broke up in March but Salman was not being able to handle the break up well. This was the time when she made the shocking revelation that Salman was physical with her, luckily without leaving any marks. She also said that Salman was accusing her of having affairs with her co-stars.  In another interview she added that she couldn’t bear the actor’s alcoholic behaviour anymore, she refused to accept his verbal, physical, and emotional abuse, infidelity, and indignity. So, she decided to leave him as any self-respecting woman would do.

A few months later, Salman broke his silence and said in an interview that Aishwarya was disturbed and angry when she made the accusations on him and that her behavior is normal as she will not be writing poems when she is disturbed and he has no objection with that. But reportedly, Salman never admitted to hitting Aishwarya, he stated no one is afraid of him because everyone knows that he will not beat them. He also said that he banged his head and hurt himself when he got emotional but he would never hurt anyone else. He also admitted that he has once hit Subhas Ghai, for which he apologized to him.

After a few months, it was reported that during the shoot of the film ‘Chalte Chalte’, Salman made a scene and shouted at Aishwarya. Salman also accused her co-star Shah Rukh Khan of having an affair with the actress. Aishwarya lost the film because of this unfortunate incident.

In the New Zealand tour, the former Indian team captain, Virat Kohli has not been in his best self. In the T20 series, he could not score any half-centuries. He also failed to score big in the ODI series. He couldn’t score much with his bat in both the innings of his first Test. Virat Kohli is certainly going through a rough patch in his career. In the ongoing 2nd ODI match, at Bolan Park, Paarl, he was dismissed for a Duck.

After the dismissal of Shikhar Dhavan, when it was Virat’s turn to bat in the third position, he could not survive more than 5 balls. He failed to add even a single score to the scoreboard and had to walk back to the pavilion. It was Virat’s 14th Duck in the 50 overs format. Virat Kohli’s wicket took a huge toll on team India, it left the team reeling at 64/2.

Meanwhile, Daniel Alexander, a Cricket writer, and a Sri Lankan Cricket fan took advantage of Virat’s bad form. The journalist is very active on social media and is quite famous for attacking Indian cricketers with his tweets. He often insults Indian cricketers to please his fans from Sri Lanka and Pakistan.

His tweet went viral and grabbed a lot of attention and reactions from Kohli’s fans who backlashed at the journalist on social media.

One Bad Tour: Alex Tudor
