Indian Cricket Team Breaks Silence On Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s Potential Debut vs Ireland, Drops The ‘Unfair’ Word

Published

on




Will Vaibhav Sooryavanshi get his first India senior cap on Friday? That is the big question for all cricket lovers who will be closely following the India vs Ireland series. India face a problem aplenty at the top order; there are three players who were there in the T20 World Cup-winning team – Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, and Ishan Kishan – who can play as openers. If Sooryavanshi has to be fitted in, a big name will have to be dropped.

Indian batting coach Sitanshu Kotak gave an open-ended answer on Sooryavanshi’s potential debut. However, he added that it would be unfair to drop the players who have been performing for India.

“There are so many talented players in India. My personal opinion is that those who are already performing should not be ignored. Obviously, new players will come; it will be healthy competition. Everybody who comes in should wait for their right time to play,” Kotak said in the pre-match press conference.

“So I don’t think that just to give him an opportunity, we should drop someone who has already been scoring runs. That also won’t be right. I think there is a very thin line between trying to give somebody an opportunity and you are being unfair to some other player,” said Kotak, according to PTI.

“The team will be decided in the evening, so let’s see. Regarding the debut, well, he will be treated in the same way as other players. Whenever the time comes, he will debut. It’s difficult to say that he will debut tomorrow or in the next match (Sunday). Kar sakta hai. Today evening we will have a meeting; the team will be decided there by Gautam Gambhir and Shreyas Iyer.”

Kotak described Sooryavanshi as an outstanding talent. “This is the first time he may be playing in the senior Indian team, but I have worked with him in the U-19 setup. Any player who has played in the U-19 or emerging team knows the culture of the senior team. He is an outstanding talent. Me and Gautam Gambhir have asked him to feel free. We have also told him to think this as his own team and say anything that he likes.

Iyer has come back into the T20 side as captain, having proved his leadership in the IPL. Kotak said someone like Iyer knows how to lead efficiently.

“It is not like that he is with the team for the first time. Even in this team, you will see that there will be 2-3-4 senior players who will be in the leadership group. No matter who the captain is, they keep helping each other. Shreyas has done a lot of captaincy in IPL, he has done it for Mumbai.

“So he has a lot of experience. In fact, when he became champion with Gautam in KKR, Shreyas was the captain. So it’s not like people are expecting something different from him or he is expecting something different.

“The thing that we always have is that we will keep the team first, we will do whatever is needed for the team. I think his speech in the huddle today was the same. That we will look after everyone,” added Kotak.

40’ – Sugawara, from distance, slides a slow shot on target. It is easy for Zetterstrom but that at least means Japan have registered a shot on target.

Hien looks in absolute agony as he limps alongside the perimeter of the pitch and he has gone back down while waiting for a stretcher having decided the dugout or dressing room was too onerous a trip.

35’ – Sugawara flings in another cross. Hien goes down while stretching to intercept it and the defender looks in a reasonable amount of bother, enough to require medical attention.

When did Ariana Grande date Ricky Alvarez? Singer changes “Thank u, Next” lyric written for her ex at the ‘eternal sunshine’ tour in Austin

Published

on

On June 24, Ariana Grande surprised fans by changing the lyrics to her song, Thank u, Next. The Grammy-winning songstress modified the line which seemingly refers to her ex-boyfriend, Ricky Alvarez.

For the unversed, Grande reportedly started dating her former backup dancer, Ricky Alvarez, in 2015. The pair were in a relationship for one year before splitting in 2016.

While Ariana Grande was mostly tight-lipped about her relationship with Alvarez, she was once asked about the same during a 2016 interview with Billboard.

“We’re happy. I’m a very happy girl. I have a healthy life right now, and I think that’s all anyone cares to know. The end,” she had said at that time.

According to a report by E! News, Ariana Grande had initiated the breakup. There was no hint of disloyalty, but the duo seemingly “found it difficult to make it work.” The report also stated that the two were friends after the breakup.

During her recent Eternal Sunshine concert at the Moody Center in Austin, Grande tweaked a line of her song, Thank u, next, which was seemingly dedicated to Alvarez.

“Wrote some songs about Ricky…now they still kinda slap,” she sang, which got the attention of the fans as the original line was, “Wrote some songs about Ricky…Now I listen and laugh”

Released in 2018, Thank u, Next is the lead single from Ariana Grande’s fifth studio album of the same name. As per several reports, the song is an ode to Grande’s past relationships and was released days after her breakup with her ex-fiance, Pete Davidson.

It received acclaim from both fans and critics, debuting atop Billboard Hot 100. Furthermore, it was certified eight-times platinum and was included in Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time during their 2021 revision.
