New Delhi: India wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul in all probability is out of the World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia that starts on June 7, according to report. Rahul, who suffered a hamstring injury during Lucknow Super Giants’ game against Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2023, has already left the franchise and is in Mumbai for scans.
Based on a report by Cricbuzz, the results of the scans will determine his participation in the WTC final in London. Neither the BCCI nor the LSG team management have come out with any formal announce about Rahul’s injury and this speculative nature is enough for the outsiders to guess how intense the matter is.
The LSG thinktank are yet to announce a replacement for Rahul. There are only four games left for LSG and Krunal Pandya has already taken up the captain’s baton.
Rahul injured his right thigh while sprinting towards boundary to a Faf du Plessis cover drive off Marcus Stoinis bowling. Not on Rahul, pacer Jaydev Unadkat’s shoulder injury that he suffered at LSG nets while bowling, has also put BCCI in dilemma.
Unadkat’s shoulder isn’t in a good shape and has also been ruled out of IPL 2023, much like Rahul.
EXCLUSIVE: Anusha Dandekar Speaks on The ‘Bikini Body’ And How It’s an Important Conversation For Body Positivity
VJ, Anusha Dandekar in an exclusive interaction, talks about body positivity, the race to achieve a bikini body and her secret to fitness.
EXCLUSIVE: Anusha Dandekar Speaks on The ‘Bikini Body’ And How It’s an Important Conversation For Body Positivity
VJ, host, actor, and model Anusha Dandekar has made an impact in the industry in terms of fitness, style, and beauty. The diva believes in embracing oneself whether it’s your body type or skin. In a conversation with india.com, the actor opens up about body positivity, the concept of a bikini body, and the essence of healthy eating. Anusha also reveals her fitness secret to a healthy and tremendous body.
‘MIND OVER MATTER’
Anusha Dandekar, popularly known for being a fashion and fitness enthusiast, opens on body positivity. She says, ”It’s mind over matter; we are very mean to ourselves, we talk to ourselves badly in the mirror, we always point out our flaws – what happens to this, what happens to that, but we never say nice things.” The actor also speaks about the importance of being mentally positive about yourself. She says, ”Every time I am sitting at the table, I hear I can’t eat this, I can’t eat that. Why so much negativity towards food? What is your body hearing? Instead, say ‘I am so grateful for this food, and I love it, it gives me health, strength, and energy’.”
‘YOU JUST NEED TO FEEL CONFIDENT’
The social stereotyping of having a bikini body is simple to understand: In order to wear a bikini, and have it be deemed socially acceptable, you should have a specific type of figure. It is oppressive, and sexist, and promotes an unhealthy attitude towards one’s body. But, does Anusha Dandekar believe in the concept of building a ‘bikini body’? She explains: ”Everyone has a body and can wear a bikini. You just need to feel confident and good about yourself. While the model also reveals why you should push back the need for a perfect body and follow the concept of a healthy body ‘Whatever size you are, just make sure you are healthy. Because you want to avoid diabetes, health problems- just all of that. Body shaming, I don’t accept, but you should be more focused on health. So, if you are unhealthily thin or overweight and it’s causing your health issues, that’s not good for you.”
ABOUT ANUSHA DANDEKAR
Anusha Dandekar started her career in the entertainment industry as an anchor in MTV’s ‘House of Style’ and hosted several shows. She made her Bollywood debut in 2003 with ‘Mumbai Matinee’. She also starred in the 2005 film ‘Viruddh’, co-starring Amitabh Bachchan, Sharmila Tagore Sanjay Dutt, Sharmila Tagore, and John Abraham.

New Delhi: Lionel Messi’s newest tattoo on his left leg has sparked speculations about his return to Barcelona. The Argentina World Cup winner will leave Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season with both the player and the club not interested to extend the contract.
It is still not clear where Messi’s next destination would be, but reports from various media outlet suggest that the PSG forward has offers from Barcelona, Major League Soccer and Saudi Arabia.
It is understood thar Barcelone, where Messi played all is life before moving to PSG, wants to re-sign their star with Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal also offering a huge £350m a year for the Argentine. MLS club Inter Miami are also pushing for Messi.
However, Messi is currently under two-week suspension by PSG for travelling to Saudi Arabia for a two-day trip without informing the Ligue 1 club. In case Messi re-signs for Barcelone, it is to be seen whether he will agree to the much lesser salary that PSG give him currently, to comply with La Liga Financial Fair Play Rules.

For the unknown, Messi is a tourism ambassador for Saudi Arabia. He travelled with his family in the middle-eastern country and was pictured holding a falcon on his arm. Messi was also seen watching a palm-weaving demonstration and visited the Arabian Horse Museum.
However, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, La Liga president Javier Tebas said Barcelona signing Messi will depend on a lot of factors. “If Barça signs Leo Messi, his salary will be less than what it is at Paris Saint-Germain. His return is now conditional on selling players. I think that Barça will get a good amount from selling players this summer,” Tebas said.

Another senior police officer said, “There were a few men who tried bringing cots to the protest site. When the policemen deployed at the spot asked them about the cots, they got aggressive and the protesters joined them. They wrongfully restrained a policeman and accused him of being drunk, which was not the case. Police personnel are at the site and the situation is now under control. No protester was beaten up.”
Wrestlers alleged that the police hurled abuses, mangandled them
Former wrestler Rajveer told PTI, “The mattresses got wet due to rain, so we were bringing folding beds for sleeping, but the police did not allow that. Drunk policeman Dharemendra abused Vinesh Phogat and got involved in a scuffle with us.”
“They started hitting us. Bajrang Punia’s brother-in-law Dushyant and Rahul suffered head injuries. The police did not even let doctors reach the site. Even the women constables were misbehaving with us,” he said.
“I was abused and pushed around by policemen. Where are the women police personnel?” asked Phogat.

Punia’s wife Sangeeta also claimed that she was pushed around by policemen. Punia has called for farmers and their leaders to assemble at the protest site on Thursday morning.
“Delhi Police ki gundagardi ab nahi chalegi (Delhi Police’s high-handedness will not work anymore). We will call farmers to assemble here in numbers. We will not tolerate it anymore. Tractors or trolleys. whatever you get, just come here,” he said.
Wrestlers Write to Home Ministry Demanding Action Against Cops
The wrestlers protesting here at Jantar Mantar have written to Union Home Ministry seeking an strict action against officials responsible for the alleged manhandling of grapplers at the protest site on Wednesday night.
In the letter, they also sought permission to bring waterproof tents, beds, gym instruments, wrestling mats and sound system at the protest.
“We, Olympians and international wrestlers, have been peacefully protesting for the past 11 days regarding our demands at Jantar Mantar in Delhi. At around 11:00 p.m., we were arranging amenities for our night stay when ACP Dharmendra of the Delhi Police attacked us with nearly 100 police personnel. In the attack, Dushyant Phogat and Rahul Yadav suffered head injuries,” read the letter.
Wrestlers alleged that the ACP hurled abuses at olympian Vinesh Phogat while Sakshi Malik and Sangeeta Phogat was mangandled by the police.
Heavy security deployed at Jantar Mantar
Meanwhile, the Delhi Police on Thursday morning made a heavy deployment of security personnel at Jantar Mantar where the scuffle broke out. Multiple layers of barricades have been put up around the protest site and no one is being allowed in.
Wrestlers Protest
The wrestlers have been staging a sit-in at Jantar Mantar since April 23. They have levelled allegations of sexual harassment against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who is also a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP from Uttar Pradesh. The protesters have been demanding criminal action against Singh for the alleged sexual harassment and intimidation of seven female wrestlers, one of whom is a minor.
The Delhi Police filed two FIRs against the WFI president on Friday on the allegations of sexual harassment levelled against him by the wrestlers.
Virender Sehwag Opens Up On Kohli-Gambhir On-field Faceoff Says, If BCCI Decides To Ban Anyone Such Incidents Will Happen Rarely
Virat Kohli, Gautam Gambhir and Naveen-ul-Haq were involved in a verbal spat on Monday after LSG vs RCB match at Ekana Sports City Stadium, Lucknow.
Sehwag Opens Up On Kohli-Gambhir On-field Faceoff Says, If BCCI Decides To Ban Anyone…
New Delhi: Virender Sehwag slammed Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli for their on-field faceoff after Lucknow Super Giants vs Royal Challengers Bangalore IPL 2023 match. The former India opener has called for much-improved behavior from both cricketers.
Virat Kohli, Gautam Gambhir and Naveen-ul-Haq were involved in a verbal spat on Monday after LSG vs RCB match at Ekana Sports City Stadium, Lucknow.
Sehwag, who used to open with Gautam Gambhir and also played five years of international cricket with Kohli, has reminded both about the position they hold in Indian cricket and requested both to conduct themselves a lot better.
“I switched off the TV once the match got over. I had no idea about what happened after the match. The next day when I woke up, I saw a lot of chaos on social media. What happened wasn’t right. The loser should quietly accept defeat and walk away and the winning team should celebrate. Why did they need to say anything to each other. I always say one thing, that these guys are icons of the country. If they do or say anything, millions of kids follow them and probably think ‘If my icon has done this, I would too’. So if they keep these things in mind, they would limit such incidents,” Sehwag said on Cricbuzz.
“If the BCCI decides to ban anyone, then maybe such incidents will happen rarely or not take place at all. Such incidents have happened several times in the past so it’s better to do whatever you want to inside the controlled environment of the dressing room. When you’re on the ground, these things don’t look nice. My own kids can lip-read and they very well understand Ben Stokes. So that is when I feel bad. If you’re saying such things, if my kids can read it, others can too and tomorrow they will think that if they (Kohli and Gambhir) can say it, so can I,” he added.
After the match both Kohli and Gambhir fined 100 per cent of their match fee for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct.
