Dhoni cracks jokes on 'Sir' Jadeja

April 14, 2013

New Delhi, Apr 14: Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni seems to be in a very playful mood these days as he once again tickled his fans' funny bones by cracking a few good-humoured jokes on Chennai Super Kings teammate 'Sir' Ravindra Jadeja.

"When you give Sir Ravindra Jadeja one ball to get 2 runs he will win it with one ball to spare !!," Dhoni wrote on his twitter handle following Chennai's dramatic win over Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL on Saturday.sir

Jadeja stole the thunder as he guided Chennai to a thrilling win with two to get off the final ball of the match.

But had RP Singh, who conceded 16 in the last over, not bowled a huge no-ball, which was caught at third man, RCB would have won the match.

It was then Dhoni's turn to poke fun at his teammate and enthral his million followers on the social networking site.

"Sir jadeja was upset abt only 1 t20 match in a bilateral series so BCCI came up with the idea of IPL. so all the fans of ipl plz thank SRJ," Dhoni tweeted.

This was the second time in less than a week that Dhoni was tweeting on Jadeja.

"God realised RAJNI sir is getting old so he created sir ravindra jadeja," the India skipper had tweeted a few days days back, referring to South superstar Rajnikanth.

Dhoni added to the fun by posting another gem. "Wen sir jadeja drives his jeep, his jeep remains still and road moves and wen he goes in to bat the pavillion moves to the wkt." It did not end there as Dhoni went on to leave another post.

"Sir jadeja doesn't run to take the catch but the ball finds him and lands on his hand," his next post read.

Jadeja's teammate Suresh Raina, too, left a post congratulating the all-rounder on his match-winning knock.

"Well played SRJ.... U beauty.. Keep up the CSK flag high love u beeba," Raina tweeted.

Dhoni had a few more, reserved for his junior teammate, who seems to be the buzzword on the internet at the moment.

"Leaving for practice at 3pm but the stadium is coming so tht sir jadeja can practice," Dhoni wrote.

"Whenever sir jadeja makes an error its an invention and on a daily basis v get plenty of those,all patent pending."

Bengaluru, May 27: Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar has revealed that he was never able to dismiss Inzamam-ul-Haq in the nets.

The Rawalpindi Express praised the former Pakistan skipper and said Inzamam could see the ball one second earlier than the rest of the batsmen could.

"Honestly, I don't think I could ever get him (Inzamam) out, he had the time and I always felt he saw the ball a second earlier than the rest of the batsmen because I had a complicated action unlike Brett Lee, I felt I could never dismiss Inzamam-ul-Haq," Akhtar told Sanjay Manjrekar in a videocast hosted by ESPNCricinfo.

"I couldn't get him out in the nets, I think he could see the ball a second before anyone else," he added.

Inzamam played 120 Tests and 378 ODIs for Pakistan.

He finished his career with 20,569 runs across all formats.

The right-handed batsman called time on his career in 2007 and he played his last Test against South Africa in Lahore.

On the other hand, Akhtar played 224 matches for Pakistan in international cricket and took 444 wickets across all formats.

The Rawalpindi Express last played an ODI in 2011 as he played against New Zealand in the 50-over World Cup.

New Delhi, Apr 24: India's World Cup-winning former opener Gautam Gambhir performed the last rites of his deceased domestic help after her mortal remains could not be sent to her home in Odisha due to the coronavirus-forced national lockdown.

Gambhir, also a BJP Lok Sabha MP, posted a tribute on his Twitter page for his employee Saraswati Patra, who was working at his residence for the past six years.

"Taking care of my little one can never be domestic help. She was family. Performing her last rites was my duty," he tweeted.

"Always believed in dignity irrespective of caste, creed, religion or social status. Only way to create a better society. That's my idea of India! Om Shanti," said the 38-year-old Gambhir, who played 58 Tests for India between 2004 and 2016.

Media reports in Odisha said the 49-year-old Patra hailed from a village in Jajpur district.

She was admitted to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital a few days ago and was battling diabetes and high blood pressure for a long period. She breathed her last while undergoing treatment on April 21.

Union Minister of Petroleum and Steel Dharmendra Pradhan appreciated Gambhir.

"Taking care of Saraswati throughout the course of her illness, he also ensured her dignity in death by performing her last rites himself since her mortal remains could not be sent to her family back home in Odisha," Pradhan, who also belongs to Odisha, tweeted.

"His act of compassion will enliven the faith in humanity for millions of poor, who are working far from their home for livelihood and will garner respect from all folds of the society."
