Ultimate Kho Kho: Telugu Yoddhas suffer heavy defeat to Gujarat Giants


Hyderabad: Gujarat Giants moved to the top of the Ultimate Kho Kho Season 2 table with a 42-22 victory over Telugu Yoddhas at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium in Cuttack on Monday.

The victory was built on the back of a strong defensive performance as Gujarat Giants’ defenders earned a total of eight dream run points. Arnav Patankar and V Subramani led the attacking show for Gujarat Giants with ten points each.

Gujarat Giants started the match off with an excellent defensive performance. The first batch of Vinayak Pokarde, Akshay Bhangare and Ram Mohan ran rings around the Telugu Yoddhas attackers, aided by a series of successful reviews. When they were done, they had amassed a whopping five dream run points. At the end of Turn 1, Telugu Yoddhas only held a slender 8-5 lead.

However, Telugu Yoddhas hit back with a good defensive performance of their own in Turn 2. Their first batch of Lipun Mukhi, Prasad Patil and Arunk Gunki managed four dream run points. Gunki, in particular, was impressive, spending nearly three minutes on the mat. However, Gujarat Giants seized back the advantage, sending back the next Telugu Yoddhas batch in no time. The scores, when the innings ended, read 19-12 in favour of the Gujarat Giants.

Telugu Yoddhas needed a big performance in Turn 3 to find their way back into the match, but that did not happen. Gujarat Giants’ first and second defensive batches managed three dream run points combined with Ravi Vasave even managing to remain unconquered. That meant that the scores were locked 22-22, heading into the final turn, leaving Telugu Yoddhas with a near-impossible task. With Gujarat Giants attackers putting up a dominating show in Turn 4, the match ended in a comfortable victory for them

MS Dhoni seen smoking hookah in this rare viral video


Hyderabad: Over the years, Indian cricketing legend Mahendra Singh Dhoni has served as a kind of inspiration for the nation’s youth. People all throughout the world look up to him for his leadership abilities in the sport and his calm and cool demeanor both on and off the pitch. Thus, when a video of MSD smoking hookah at a social gathering started making the rounds online, many people questioned his actions.

However, it appears that Dhoni has always loved sheesha. A previous remark made by Australian cricketer and Dhoni’s former Chennai Super Kings teammate George Bailey reveals the cricketer’s fondness for smoking sheesha.

“He likes smoking a bit of the sheesha or the hookah. So, he quite often would set that up in his room, and it was very much open-door policy. You would go in and quite often find a lot of younger players there. For India or a lot of other cricket teams, it can be hierarchical, but he certainly broke that down,” Bailey said in 2018.

“You just find yourself in his room late at night chatting inevitably about the game or about different facets of the game or about different people and with different people it’s a great way to break down barriers.”
