We Are A Far Better Team Than Where We Are On The Points Table: KL Rahul

Kings XI Punjab got back to winning ways after defeating Royal Challengers Bangalore on Thursday in a contest that went right into the wire. Kings XI Punjab, however, was almost on verge of repeating their previous games' mistakes in which the team couldn't cross the line despite putting themselves in a comfortable position. ## The thrilling 8-wickets win over RCB gave KXIP 2 valuable points but remains at the bottom of the points table with just 4 points in 8 matches. However, skipper KL Rahul, being totally dismissive of the league table, said that they are a better side than what the points table is showing. ## "We are a far better team than where we are on the points table, we have played some really, really good cricket", said KL Rahul in the post-match interview. ## "It is human to feel disappointed and frustrated with the past games, nobody wants to lose especially when you are doing a lot of things right, our skills have been very good, probably just didn’t capitalize on the moments" he added. ## "It started with the first game against Delhi, so as they say- it becomes a habit either winning or not winning, it has all been a great learning. It is part of the IPL, part of cricket wherever we play we know there are going to be ups and downs, but on a positive note, we really wanted this win to get some confidence in the group to go out and play our cricket with a lot more freedom from the next game", the skipper continued. ## Kings XI Punjab's both the win has come against RCB in the IPL 2020. While the first win was proved to be a walk in the park, they had to fight till the last ball to get the second one. Punjab will be next against the table topper Mumbai Indians on October 18. With just 6 games to go, it is almost a must-win situation for Punjab in all the games. ## Stay tuned...

Dinesh Karthik has decided to give up his Kolkata Knight Riders' captaincy in order to focus more on his batting for the rest of the IPL 2020. Eoin Morgan, England's World Cup-winning captain, will take over franchise leadership duties from Dinesh Karthik to take the team forward. ## The CEO of KKR, Venky Mysore said, "we are fortunate to have leaders such as DK, who has always put the team first. It takes a lot of courage for someone like him to take a decision such as this. While we were surprised by his decision, we are respectful of his wishes".## We are also fortunate that Eoin Morgan, the 2019 World Cup-winning captain, who has been the vice-captain, is willing to lead the side going forward.

Karnataka Police File Case Against Actress Kangana Ranaut For Anti-Farmer Tweet

Actress Kangana Ranaut seems to be digging in trouble for her anti-farmer tweet last month in which he called terrorists to those people who, as Kangana thinks, were spreading misinformation about the farm laws passed by the Parliament. The Tumkuru district police on Tuesday (October 13) registered a case against the actress for her tweet against farmers who were protesting against the farm laws.## Last week, a Tumkuru court had directed the local Kyatasandra police station to book Kangana Ranaut for her tweet on farmers. The ruling came after a complaint was lodged by advocate L. Ramesh Naik last month.## "My case against popular Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut is not to gain any publicity but to convey to her that what she did was wrong. When farmers take to the streets to protest against any government policy, they are not necessarily terrorists, as she thinks. I have joined many such protests, am I a terrorist? I need clarification on this and therefore I am fighting this case", Naik told IANS as quoted in India TV report.## On September 21, Kangana had tweeted, "People who spread misinformation and rumours about CAA that caused riots are the same people who are now spreading misinformation about farmers' bills and causing terror in the nation, they are terrorists".## Alleging that the tweet amounted to causing provocation, hurt, the enmity between groups, and intentional insult, Naik had filed the complaint against the actress in the Tumkur court on September 28 after the Tumkuru police refused to entertain his complaint.## Kangana is currently busy shooting for her upcoming film "Thalaivi" in which she is portraying the character of a late actress and former chief minister of Tamil Nadu, Jayaram Jayalalithaa.## Stay tuned...

It's Just Few Rotten Eggs That Have Given The Bad Name To Bollywood: Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri

Filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri says it is only a few bad people who are responsible for the bad image of this Bollywood industry adding that it takes a lot of courage to speak against the powerful people like he and Kangana Ranaut have spoken. ## Agnihotri opened up on the subject when he expressed his opinion on 34 Bollywood production houses and four film associations filing a civil suit in Delhi High Court against certain news channels for allegedly defaming the industry.## "Can the public sue Bollywood for destroying music, lyrics, language, art, creativity, social fabric, and culture of India?" Vivek tweeted.## Actor Gulshan Devaiah responded to his post about Bollywood destroying Indian culture, writing, "Careful Good sir!! By this logic some idiots might try to sue you too for some of your "earlier work".## To which, Vivek responded that he used to make crap movies but now has realized and left the company of Bollywood to fight against the corrupt system. "Absolutely. When like you, I was trying to fit in, I also made crap like your masters. But then I realised and left Bollywood and now I am fighting to reform this corrupt system. Pl join me in this noble revolution, Gullu, my favorite troll", he wrote in response.## In another tweet, Vivek also shared an image of the list of the production houses involved in filing the civil suit. The list includes almost all leading production houses of Bollywood including Yashraj Films, Excel Entertainment, Aamir Khan Productions, Red Chillies Entertainment, and Salman Khan Films.## "It's very easy for Bollywoodiyas to speak against #CAA or @narendramodi as they can't hit back but you need real courage and spine to speak against the powerful people in this list. So far besides me and Kangana, no one has spoken," he wrote.## While stating that around 5 lakh people work in Bollywood but not all are the same, it is just a few "rotten eggs" who have given the bad name to this industry. ## "Around 5 Lakh people work in Bollywood. Even an idiot knows that the fight is not with them. It’s just few rotten eggs that have given the bad name to Bollywood. Now those few are ganging up against to those who want reforms.

IPL 2020: Virat Kohli Hails 'Super-Human' AB de Villiers For His Masterful Knock On A Tough Pitch

AB de Villiers proved his undeniable brilliance yet again and played a memorable knock on a tough pitch for the batsmen. At Sharjah's pitch which has been a batting paradise so far, was on a slower side for Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders' match on Monday (October 12). ## While all the other batsmen were struggling to find runs, AB de Villiers came and single-handedly stole the show for his sensational knock of unbeaten 73 off 33 balls with 5 fours and 6 sixes. His knock helped RCB to register a massive win 82-runs in the IPL 2020. ## RCB's skipper Virat Kohli heaped praise on ABD with whom, he added 100 runs off just 46 balls. He said that the team was looking to get around 165-170 runs but because of the ABD's masterful innings, they could reach on such a big target of 194 in 20 overs. ## "At the toss, the pitch didn't have the usual Sharjah sheen. Knew the wicket was going to get slower and slower. Barring one super-human, everyone struggled on that pitch. The talk was around 165-170. The preparation was really good. The three-week camp helped us. Have clarity of plans. Know exactly what we want to do on the field. It all depends on the mindset. It's very positive", Virat said in the post-match presentation with Murali Kartik. ## "On a pitch like that, only AB can do that. It was a special knock. We got 195 purely because of the genius of that man. Always things you can reflect on and say you can improve on these things. All about taking this momentum forward. Don't want to be complacent", he added. ## Meanwhile, RCB is moved up in the points table. With 5 wins in 7 matches, the three times finalist is currently sitting at number 3 with 10 points after Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals. Now, the team will next face Kings XI Punjab on October 15 in Sharjah. ## Stay tuned...
