Shruthi Hassan Acts with Her Favourite Hero

Everyone has a favourite, and would be a die hard fan of someone. Shruthi Hassan is no exception to the rule. Though ranking as one of the top heroines across different languages, and sharing the screen with many leading actors, Shruthi's dream came true only in 'Yevadu'.

Iceman Dhoni breaks SL hearts

Leave it to me, he says. I want to take this to the last over. Me against one man. One on one. I know I am better than the last man the other team can put up against me. Once again, MS Dhoni reduced a lost match into a one-on-one contest with an opposition bowler, and knocked off the 15 required in just three hits. You could see the bowler - Shaminda Eranga, 9-2-34-2 until then, wickets of Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli to his name - was intimidated the moment he saw the first one fly into the top of the top tier.

Bear in mind that this was a treacherous pitch with seam, spin and uneven bounce. Dhoni was injured, and had come back only for this match. He wasn't running as hard as he does, and wickets were falling at the other end. When Dhoni came in, the asking-rate was 3.35, but with falling wickets and turned-down singles, it hit the improbable towards the end. Dhoni, though, kept refusing singles, kept admonishing the last man Ishant Sharma for taking off for panic-stricken singles.

Ishant couldn't be blamed. The game had unravelled fast for India. They were cruising when Rohit Sharma had braved for yet another fifty despite another painful blow to his body (which makes it atleast four in two innings against Sri Lanka), despite many balls that seamed past his edge, despite the slow start. When India were 139 for 3 in the 32nd over, though, Rangana Herath delivered a grubber, and it squeezed under Rohit's bat. Things were about to change.

Losing captaincy help to england in ashes win

Kevin Pietersen believes it was for the
"good of English cricket" he lost the
England captaincy and coach Peter Moores
was sacked two years ago.
Pietersen says successors Andrew Strauss and
Andy Flower "need all the plaudits for an
unbelievable 18 months", including a double
Ashes win.
After England retained the Ashes, the batsman
said: "We would not be here today if I had not
done what I did.
"I got rid of the captaincy for the good of
English cricket."
Victory in the fourth Test in Melbourne saw
England retain the urn for the first time in 24
years, and a draw in the final Test in Sydney
would bring a series win in Australia for the
first time since 1987.

Sippai - The story of revolutionary youth

 

Gautam Karthik who was last seen in average grosser 'Kadal', will be cast next in 'Sippai'. The movie is to be directed by Saravanan of 'Silambatam' fame. Shooting commenced on April 25 and the movie is set to be a campus love story. Gautam who is quite young himself, will be comfortably filling the shoes that the storyline requires. 

Post Kumki, Lakshmi menon is having a roll and she will be paired opposite Gautam. Actress Vibha who starred in Madhil Mel Poonai is the latest addition to the cast. She will be playing a pivotal role of a college girl in this movie. The theme is straight forward according to the director, though it revolves around the colleges, the youth of today who strive to fight for righteous actions in society and the steps they take is what this is all about.

Australia the underdog in Ashes series

Australia captain Michael Clarke is under no illusions about the challenge his team is facing when the Ashes series against England starts Wednesday at Trent Bridge.

"We come here as underdogs, there's no doubt about that," Clarke said. "It would be a great achievement (to win) for all the work we've put in but now it's about going out there on the biggest stage and playing well."

Clarke is Australia's only injury worry, and while he declared himself "100 percent" fit to play, he acknowledges that "my back (complaint) is something I've got to live with every day for the rest of my life."

England counterpart Alastair Cook acknowledged his side is expected to prevail across the five tests and make it three series victories in a row and four out of the past five, but downplayed his team's heavy favoritism.

Bhuvneshwar kumar , Rohit carry India to final

After a four-and-a-half hour rain interruption, Sri Lanka had ten wickets available over a truncated 26 overs to chase 178. India needed to restrict Sri Lanka to 167 or below to make the final ahead of West Indies. In an ideal Twenty20 world, this was a situation loaded in favour of the chasing side. The Queen's Park Oval pitch, with patches of green spiced up by all the rain, was an ideal Test bowler's paradise, though. And Bhuvneshwar Kumar used it to perfection, ending the chase early and taking India to the final with a spell of 6-1-8-4, his best international figures.

Bhuvneshwar got the ball to do so much, even survival became a lottery, leave alone a chase that began at an asking rate of close to seven an over. Some moved in, some moved away, some hit a green patch and bounced extra, with Bhuvneshwar's impeccable control forcing the batsmen to play at almost everything. It was only his 16th ODI, but Bhuvneshwar has already built up a reputation for striking early in his spell. Again, he did not disappoint.

Upul Tharanga flashed to the slips in Bhuvneshwar's second over, Kumar Sangakkara got a first-ball shocker of a leg-before decision, Mahela Jayawardene could not keep a cut down, and Lahiru Thirimanne hit an airy drive. In no time, Sri Lanka were 31 for 4, and India already had the final within their sights. Of course, it was the asking rate that made the batsmen play all those strokes, but against the combination of Bhuvneshwar and the pitch, the attempts were doomed to fail. The spinners found generous help from the pitch as well, and made sure there was no fightback from the Sri Lanka lower middle order. The margin of the win showed just how futile a T20-style chase can be on a difficult pitch.

Madhya Pradesh ex-minister Raghavji, accused of sexual abuse, arrested

Former Madhya Pradesh minister Raghavji, who has been accused of sexual abuse by his domestic help, has been arrested in Bhopal. He had been missing ever since a first information report was registered against him on Sunday.

Mr Raghavji had resigned as state finance minister on Friday last after a CD purportedly featuring him surfaced and his domestic help filed a police complaint alleging that he was being sexually exploited by the minister.

The 79-year-old was arrested today from a relative's apartment in old Bhopal after a "vigorous search", the police said.

So much wonderful in this first picture it is difficult to move on to the rest of them isn’t it?

Sri Lanka very Close to final

Sri Lanka all but sealed their passage in the Tri-Nations series final after Kumar Sangakkara inspired them to a 39-run win under the Duckworth-Lewis method over the West Indies at Port of Spain.

In a contest that was carried over from Sunday due to the wet conditions, Sangakkara stood firm throughout Monday's reserve day to finish unbeaten on 90 off 95 balls to help the tourists to 219 for eight off their 41 overs.

Forced to chase a revised target of 230 from the same number of overs, the Windies ultimately came up short to finish on 190 for nine, despite battling half-centuries from Darren Bravo and Lendl Simmons. Angelo Mathews' men currently top the standings on nine points and would need to lose by a sizable margin against India to miss out on a place in Thursday's final.
