On Monday, both cricket star Sourav Ganguly and Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor faced off against each other in a fun cricket match at Eden Gardens.
Former President of the BCCI Sourav Ganguly faces off against Ranbir Kapoor in a fun cricket match at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Ranbir Kapoor was in Kolkata to promote his film, “Tu Jhuthi Main Makkar.” Both of the stars clashed with each other on the field, with Sourav Ganguly’s team being called “Jhoothi XI” and Ranbir’s team being called “Makkar XI.” Xtra Time on YouTube posted a video where Ranbir faced 10 balls from Ganguly and even hit a six. The movie starring Ranbir Kapoor, which also stars Shraddha Kapoor, is going to be released on March 8.
For the mean time, there has been buzz about including Shubman Gill in the team to play XI in place of KL Rahul against the Australia cricket team, but Sourav Ganguly said that there is no harm in waiting a bit and he will certainly get his share of chances to play. On being asked about how he feels about Shubhman Gill, who is in “Red Hot form” but still has to wait, To this, Ganguly said that he’d get a lot of opportunities. Team selectors, captains, and coaches all think highly of him and rate him quite high, which is why he is playing ODIs and T20Is, where he is performing well.
But right now, I think the message from team management is that Gill has to wait. The India team won the first two test matches of the ongoing series, in which the team captain has played quite well and even scored a century in the first test match in Nagpur. A reporter further asked him, “Is the concept of dominant batters against spinners sounding too alien nowadays?” In response to this question, he said, “I don’t think so.” These are very tough wickets. I saw that in the first two tests, and it’s not easy, boss. Playing Ashwin, Jadeja, Lyon, and the new guy, Todd Murphy, is never easy when the odd ball turns square. “There is unevenness; there is everything happening for spinners.”
