<p>On July 06, 2019, Rohit Sharma created history as he became the first-ever batter to slam as many as five centuries in a single edition of the ICC ODI World Cup. The current Indian captain was in exceptional form in the previous edition of the 50-over showpiece event and entered the record books with his fifth ton, becoming the first-ever batsman to attain the feat. He also equalled Sachin Tendulkar with the most hundreds in ODI World Cup history (six) following his knock versus the Sri Lankans.</p>

<p>Four years back, India faced Sri Lanka in the 2019 ODI World Cup on July 06. Opting to bat first, Dimuth Karunaratne-led Sri Lanka were struggling at 55 for 4 before former skipper Angelo Mathews slammed 113 and helped Lanka post&nbsp;264 for 7 in 50 overs. In reply, India rode on openers Rohit and KL Rahul's 189-run opening stand. Rohit returned with a fine 94-ball 103 whereas Rahul top-scored with a sublime 113. Thus, India won the game by eight wickets without dropping much sweat, achieving&nbsp;the target with 39 balls to spare.</p>

<p>Talking about Rohit's knock, his inning was laced with 14 fours and two sixes, resulting&nbsp;in a strike rate of 109.57. Throughout the 2019 ODI WC, the Hitman was in unbelievable form. The then vice-captain started his campaign with a hundred versus South Africa and followed it up with a match-winning 140 versus Pakistan before scoring three centuries on the trot -- against England, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. With the ton versus Lanka, Rohit surpassed Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara to hit five centuries in an ODI World Cup&nbsp;edition.</p>

<p>In the 2015 WC, Sangakkara had slammed four centuries&nbsp;before Rohit went a step ahead in the following edition. The right-hander ended the 2019 ODI WC with 648 runs -- second-most in a single edition -- and ended as the top run-getter. He will look to replicate the same form in the upcoming 2023 ODI World Cup at home. Rohit-led India will kick off their campaign versus Australia on October 08 in Chennai.</p>

OTD, in 2019: Rohit Sharma became first-ever batter to slam five tons in single edition of ODI World Cup

<p>Match 37 of the IPL 2023 edition will see the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) face the hosts Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Sawai Man&nbsp;Singh Stadium, Jaipur on Thursday (April 27). This will be the reverse fixture as Rajasthan defeated CSK by three runs when the two sides last met, early this season, in Chennai. However, this will be the first time when both sides will lock horns at the venue after their high-voltage clash in IPL 2019.</p>

<p>During RR's home game versus the then-defending champions CSK, the Ajinkya Rahane-led side posted 151 for 7 after being asked to bat first. In reply, CSK rode on fifties from Dhoni and Ambati Rayudu whereas timely hits from Ravindra Jadeja and Mitchell Santner saw their side past the finish line by four wickets in a riveting match that went down to the wire. Nonetheless, the game is best remembered for Dhoni losing his cool and invading the ground over a controversial no-ball call from the on-field umpire.</p>

<p>During&nbsp;the fourth delivery of the final over from Ben Stokes, with eight required for a win, the all-rounder bowled a full toss and Santner-Jadeja snatched two runs. At first, umpire Ulhas Gandhe signalled a no ball as he felt the ball was above the waist height of Santner. However, the leg-umpire Bruce Oxenford overruled the decision as he had the better view.</p>

<p>This led to a furious Dhoni, who got out in the previous ball, storming into the ground and having an argument with Oxenford. After a lot of chaos, Oxenford's decision remained final even though replays suggested it was a no-ball.</p>

When MS Dhoni lost his cool, invaded ground over controversial no-ball call in RR-CSK IPL 2019 tie

<p>MS Dhoni is currently involved in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 edition. He is leading the four-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK), who picked their third win of the season -- after five games -- as they emerged on top of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in match 24, in Bengaluru, on Monday evening (April 17). It is believed that this is the last IPL season for Dhoni although the 41-year-old has not given any clarity on his future.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Dhoni remains a huge name in world cricket. He retired from international cricket on August 15, 2020, putting an end to his illustrious career with 17,266 runs, 634 catches,&nbsp; 359 sixes, 195 stumpings and having led India to all three major ICC titles. He led India to the 2007 T20 World Cup title but the Men in Blue faced an early exit in the following edition, in England, in 2009. After India's three-run loss to hosts England in their second game of the Super Eight round, at Lord's London, the then skipper Dhoni apologised to the Indian fans for their dismal show.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We are more disappointed (than you) and we respect the emotions of our fans and the country. We are sorry for whatever happened. We gave our best and we say that with an open heart, we have nothing to hide. But the next Twenty20 world cup is coming again in nine months and we would have an opportunity of proving ourselves," said a dejected Dhoni after India's disappointing loss&nbsp;while addressing the press.</p>

<p>Talking about the match, India elected to bowl first and restricted England to 153 for 7, who rode on Kevin Pietersen's 46 and Ravi Bopara's 37. In reply, India promoted Ravindra Jadeja over Yuvraj Singh and paid the price for it as the then-inexperienced spin-bowling all-rounder made a scratchy 35-ball 25. From India, Gautam Gambhir, Dhoni, Yuvraj and Yusuf Pathan added runs on the board but it wasn't enough as India managed 150 for 5 in 20 overs.</p>

<p>On his decision to promote Jadeja over Yuvraj, Dhoni said, "Sometimes you don't know what would happen. We thought Jadeja could stabilise the innings as well as go after the bowling. He did try but somehow he always found the fielders. It was unfortunate it didn't work for us. We needed somebody to play percentage cricket at that stage."</p>

<p>"We failed in batting. If the opposition scores 153 and you cannot achieve that on a track like this, I don't think there can be any excuse. You just cannot explain that. We lost simply because we did not bat well. I'm rather happy with the performance of the bowlers," he added.</p>

<p>After the 2009 T20 WC, Dhoni led India in every edition of the marquee event till 2016, taking them to the final in 2014 and the semi-finals two years later at home. Since India's 2007 T20 WC triumph, they are yet to lift the mega title once again.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Dhoni also led&nbsp;India&nbsp;to the 2011 ODI World Cup and 2013 Champions Trophy during his captaincy tenure.</p>

THROWBACK: When MS Dhoni apologised to Indian fans after Team India bowed out of 2009 T20 WC

<p>The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 edition is set to kick off on March 31 in Ahmedabad. Over the years, IPL has become a big success as it allows fans to see Indian players compete with one another and also share as well as rub shoulders with some uncapped and big international cricketers.</p>

<p>The IPL started in 2008 and has become a huge brand nationwide. But before IPL became a revelation, the&nbsp;Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) used to conduct the Challengers Trophy. It was a tournament that began in 1993-94 and was held till&nbsp;the 2013-14 season (not played in 2002-03), every October before the Ranji Trophy with an aim to give young and domestic players&nbsp;a chance to showcase their skills while playing with, and against, the senior&nbsp;Team India players.&nbsp;</p>

<p>During the 2006 edition of the Challengers Trophy, India's famed trio of Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, and Sourav Ganguly -- in the last phase of their respective careers -- were divided among two teams. The then national captains&nbsp;Dravid and Tendulkar were part of the India Blues whereas Ganguly was in Mohammed Kaif-led India Greens. Venugopal Rao led the India Reds with Dravid leading India Blues.</p>

<p>Talking about the contest, Dravid-led India Blues thrashed India Greens by a whopping 266-run margin courtesy of Tendulkar's 139 and half-centuries from Dravid, MS Dhoni, and Irfan Pathan. Chasing 382, India Greens fell for 115 with Parthiv Patel (43) and Ganguly (24) being the top run-getters. The tournament was held in Chennai, which eventually saw India Blues and India Reds share the trophy after a rain-abandoned finale.</p>

<p>When IPL kicked off, Dravid went on to lead Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) whereas Ganguly represented the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and&nbsp;now-defunct Pune Warriors (PWI). Meanwhile, Tendulkar was part of the Mumbai Indians (MI) and&nbsp;remains their team mentor while Ganguly has rejoined Delhi Capitals (DC) as the Director of Cricket Operations for IPL 2023.

<p>Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan recently suffered a major injury while filming an action sequence for Project K in Hyderabad. According to his blog post, the 80-year-old suffered a muscle tear to his right rib cage and is currently recovering at his home in Mumbai, Jalsa.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This, however, is not the first time the actor suffered a major injury while shooting for a film. Back in 1982, he grievously injured himself while filming an action sequence for Coolie, directed by Manmohan Desai. The shocking incident brought the nation to a standstill as millions of Big B fans prayed for the Angry Young Man's well-being.</p>

<h2>What actually happened on Coolie set?</h2>

<p>While shooting an intense fight sequence for <em>Coolie</em> with Puneet Issar at the Bangalore University campus, <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/amitabh-bachchan-gets-injured-during-shoot-writes-its-painful-while-breathing-569018">Big B</a> misjudged a jump and landed abruptly on a sharp object, with its edge hitting his abdominal part and causing massive internal haemorrhage and bleeding. Bachchan was then rushed to a nearby hospital, where he had to go through multiple surgeries. Much to everyone's shock, he was even declared "clinically dead"&nbsp;for a few minutes before being put on the ventilator. The doctors revived him by giving him an adrenaline injection.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>What Amitabh had to say about the near-death experience?</h2>

<p>Years later, Big B opened up about the harrowing accident in a blog post. His post read,&nbsp;"I went into almost a haze and a coma-like situation. Within five days of coming into Breach Candy, I had another surgery and didn't come out of that one for a very, very long time and I was clinically dead for a couple of minutes. Then Dr Wadia, who looked after me and is an absolute life-saver, just said 'I’m going to take a last chance'&nbsp;and he started pumping cortisone/ adrenaline* injections into me one after another almost, 40 ampules of it, with the hope that something would happen and then I got revived."</p>

<h2>How did Jaya Bachchan react to the harrowing news?</h2>

<p>During an episode of <em>Rendezvous with Simi Garewal</em>, Jaya Bachchan revealed how she reacted when her brother-in-law told her about Amitabh's condition. "When I reached the hospital, my brother-in-law said, 'Where were you, we were searching for you? We have been looking for you?' And I said I went home to see the kids. Then he sort of took me up, he asked me to be brave and then I am going to tell you. I was like, no it’s not possible, he's not going to do this. I know it's not possible."</p>

<p>"I had the prayer book in my hand, hanuman chalisa. Dr Dastoor passed by and said, 'It’s only your prayers that’ll help.'&nbsp;But I couldn't read it. I couldn't see what they were doing but I could see that they were pumping his heart, they were giving him injections. And after they gave up, I saw his toe move, and I said, 'He moved, he moved.'&nbsp;And then he was finally revived."</p>

<p>When Simi further quipped Jaya and asked how she felt internally when everything was unfolding, she said, "I think I had just stopped thinking about what could have happened or what can happen. I sort of always felt that he'll fight. He'll overcome all his problems. And because in Bangalore, he was very bad. There were certain things he said to me, that were there in my mind and there was no way that he was going to let us down. That was the faith I had."</p>

<h2>Amitabh Bachchan filmography</h2>

<p>Amitabh Bachchan was last seen on the silver screen in <em>Uunchai</em>, which was helmed by Sooraj Barjatya and also starred Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, Danny Denzongpa, Parineeti Chopra, Neena Gupta and Sarika.

The shocking incident brought the nation to a standstill as millions of Big B fans prayed for the Angry Young Man's well-being. What actually happened on Coolie set? While shooting an intense fight sequence for Coolie with Puneet Issar at the Bangalore University campus, Big B misjudged a jump and landed abruptly on a sharp object, with its edge hitting his abdominal part and causing massive internal haemorrhage and bleeding. Bachchan was then rushed to a nearby hospital, where he had to go through multiple surgeries. Much to everyone's shock, he was even declared "clinically dead" for a few minutes before being put on the ventilator. The doctors revived him by giving him an adrenaline injection. What Amitabh had to say about the near-death experience? Years later, Big B opened up about the harrowing accident in a blog post. His post read, "I went into almost a haze and a coma-like situation. Within five days of coming into Breach Candy, I had another surgery and didn't come out of that one for a very, very long time and I was clinically dead for a couple of minutes. Then Dr Wadia, who looked after me and is an absolute life-saver, just said 'I’m going to take a last chance' and he started pumping cortisone/ adrenaline* injections into me one after another almost, 40 ampules of it, with the hope that something would happen and then I got revived."

During an episode of Rendezvous with Simi Garewal, Jaya Bachchan revealed how she reacted when her brother-in-law told her about Amitabh's condition. "When I reached the hospital, my brother-in-law said, 'Where were you, we were searching for you? We have been looking for you?' And I said I went home to see the kids. Then he sort of took me up, he asked me to be brave and then I am going to tell you. I was like, no it’s not possible, he's not going to do this. I know it's not possible." "I had the prayer book in my hand, hanuman chalisa. Dr Dastoor passed by and said, 'It’s only your prayers that’ll help.' But I couldn't read it. I couldn't see what they were doing but I could see that they were pumping his heart, they were giving him injections. And after they gave up, I saw his toe move, and I said, 'He moved, he moved.' And then he was finally revived." When Simi further quipped Jaya and asked how she felt internally when everything was unfolding, she said, "I think I had just stopped thinking about what could have happened or what can happen. I sort of always felt that he'll fight. He'll overcome all his problems. And because in Bangalore, he was very bad. There were certain things he said to me, that were there in my mind and there was no way that he was going to let us down. That was the faith I had."

<p>India and Pakistan's cricketing rivalry surely makes heads turn. In the recently-concluded Asia Cup 2022 edition, held in the UAE, both sides met&nbsp;for the first time after last year's T20 World Cup face-off and played each other twice.</p>

<p>In both the meetings, the match went down to the wire as both won and lost a game each. Now, India and Pakistan will square off once again in the forthcoming T20 World Cup 2022 edition, in Australia from October-November, at the iconic MCG, Melbourne. It promises to be another mouth-watering clash in the Indo-Pak rivalry on the 22-yard cricket strip.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On this day in 2007, India and Pakistan&nbsp;locked horns for the first time in the inaugural T20 WC, at Durban. In the day-night encounter, at Kingsmead, Durban, MS Dhoni led India for the first time ever -- after the Scotland tie was entirely abanonded after the&nbsp;toss -- and the match was a blockbuster in every sense.</p>

On this day, 2007: When India, Pakistan were involved in epic bowl-out clash in 2007 T20 WC - Video

<p>India's current head coach Rahul Dravid remains a big name in world cricket. The legendary cricketer had a highly successful career as one of India's main batters during his playing days, from 1996-2021. Dravid amassed 13,288 Test and 10,889 ODI runs and is now being looked upon as a coach who can change India's fortunes and help them end their ICC-title drought since 2013.</p>

<p>During Dravid's playing days, he was known to be a stylish batter who strived hard for his runs in the middle. The former Indian captain could also play the aggressor's role and, hence, was a versatile batter. His on-field demeanour was that of a calm and composed player, who didn't lose&nbsp;his cool very often on the 22-yard cricket strip. Nonetheless, whenever Dravid got angry, it made heads turn. During IPL 2013's Qualifier 2 match, between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Mumbai Indians (MI) at the iconic Eden Gardens, Kolkata, Dravid gave an earful to Mitchell Johnson.</p>

<p>Dravid had hit Johnson for a four, as RR opted to bat first, when the&nbsp;Aussie speedster said something to 'The Wall'. While the Indian star batter hit him for another four, on the very next delivery, Dravid responded to Johnson and their verbal spat caught everyone's attention. <strong>Here's the throwback video:</strong></p>

<p>While Dravid started the innings on fire, he departed for a 37-ball 43. Stuart Binny's quickfire 17-ball 27 propelled the one-time winners to a decent score, i.e. 165 for 6. However, it wasn't enough as Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai chased down the target on the penultimate ball with four wickets in hand. Dwayne Smith top-scored for MI, with a 44-ball 62, but Harbhajan Singh ended as the Player-of-the-Match for his 3 for 23.</p>

<p>MS Dhoni remains a big name in world cricket. The 40-year-old remains active in the Indian Premier League (IPL) despite announcing his international retirement on August 15, 2020. The former Indian captain signed off from the highest level as one of the most successful wicketkeeper-batsmen of all time, amassing 17,266 runs, 16 tons, 108 half-centuries alongside&nbsp;claiming 634 catches and 195 stumpings.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Apart from his staggering numbers at the international level, Dhoni has always remained a down-to-earth person, adding more fans worldwide with his simplicity and humility. A fine example of his simplicity was on display when the former keeper-batter ditched the luxuries of a flight journey and travelled with his Jharkhand One-Day side by train, from Ranchi to Howrah, to play the Vijay Hazare Trophy in Kolkata in early 2017.</p>

<p>Dhoni rolled back the clock to his days of struggle, in the early 2000s, when he was posted as a ticket inspector in Kharagpur, to travel in second-tier AC of 18616 Kriya Yoga Express along with his state teammates.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Back then, it was Dhoni's first travel in train after 13 long years. On the occasion, Dhoni seemed very relaxed and content. He had&nbsp;also taken to his official Instagram handle to share a picture with his team members from their train journey in 2017. <strong>Here's the post:</strong></p>

MS Dhoni remains a big name in world cricket. The 40-year-old remains active in the Indian Premier League (IPL) despite announcing his international retirement on August 15, 2020.

MS Dhoni remains a big name in world cricket. The 40-year-old remains active in the Indian Premier League (IPL) despite announcing his international retirement on August 15, 2020. The former Indian captain signed off from the highest level as one of the most successful wicketkeeper-batsmen of all time, amassing 17,266 runs, 16 tons, 108 half-centuries alongside claiming 634 catches and 195 stumpings. Apart from his staggering numbers at the international level, Dhoni has always remained a down-to-earth person, adding more fans worldwide with his simplicity and humility. A fine example of his simplicity was on display when the former keeper-batter ditched the luxuries of a flight journey and travelled with his Jharkhand One-Day side by train, from Ranchi to Howrah, to play the Vijay Hazare Trophy in Kolkata in early 2017. Dhoni rolled back the clock to his days of struggle, in the early 2000s, when he was posted as a ticket inspector in Kharagpur, to travel in second-tier AC of 18616 Kriya Yoga Express along with his state teammates. Back then, it was Dhoni's first travel in train after 13 long years. On the occasion, Dhoni seemed very relaxed and content. He had also taken to his official Instagram handle to share a picture with his team members from their train journey in 2017.

<p>Virat Kohli-led India are in South Africa for three Tests and equal number of ODIs, starting from December 26 at Centurion. However, things aren't at its very best between Indian Test captain Kohli and Sourav Ganguly-led BCCI.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After BCCI announced Rohit Sharma as the new limited-overs captain, succeeding Kohli, fans were speculating if everything was fine between Rohit and Kohli. While Kohli brushed aside all 'rift' rumours with Hitman, he denied having any proper communication with the BCCI before his ODI sacking and also contradicted from Ganguly's remark on him resigning as T20I captain. Ganguly had claimed that he had a word with Kohli and tried to convince him to keep the post in the shortest format, however, Kohli didn't agree.&nbsp;</p>

<p>To this, Kohli bluntly denied having any such talk with Ganguly in a recent presser. Thus, relations between Ganguly-led BCCI and Kohli is far from ideal. However, this wasn't the case in the past.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Zinedine Zidane remains one of the biggest names in world football. After a glittering career for France, having led them to their maiden World Cup title in 1998, the talismanic footballer had retired two years before the 2006 FIFA World Cup. However, the star player returned to the field and even led the national side in the 2006 edition.</p>

<p>Zidane, aged 34 in 2006, led from the front for France in the mega event which was held in Germany. He was in emphatic form and almost single-handedly took the team to the summit clash, where they faced Italy. Prior to the finale, Zidane was in rollicking touch as he scored in the Round of 16 win over Spain and also in the semi-final versus Portugal. In addition, he had assisted Thierry Henry's quarter-final winner against Brazil.</p>

<p>While Zidane's performances earned him the Golden Ball award in the 2006 edition, his infamous headbutt to Italy's Marco&nbsp;Materazzi drew maximum eyeballs and served as a huge jolt to his overall showing in the tournament.</p>

<p>The headbutt came in the final moments of the regulation time, with both France and Italy tied at 1-1. After scoring the first goal in the final, Zidane-led France were tied at 1-1 with Italy courtesy Materazzi's strike. Thus, there was tension in the middle.</p>

<p>What unfolded from thereon ended Zidane's international career in an absurd and most unthinkable manner. The war of words with Materazzi led to the French captain losing his cool and going for a headbutt; leading to the Italian's injury. As a result, he was shown the red card; ending his international career all of a sudden. Here's a throwback video of how things panned out during the 2006 FIFA WC final for Zidane:</p>

<p>Quoted by Italian media, Materazzi spilled the beans on the Zidane headbutt while taking up fans' questions on Instagram live last year. "I wasn't expecting it in that moment. I was lucky enough that the whole episode took me by surprise because if I had expected something like that to happen and had been ready for it, I'm sure both of us would have ended up being sent off," Materazzi said.</p>

<p>"There had been a bit of contact between us in the area. He had scored France's goal in the first half and our coach (Marcello Lippi) told me to mark him. After that first brush between us, I apologised but he reacted badly. The late tackles, altercations and exchanges continued until 110 minutes, when things reached a head. After the third clash, I frowned and he retorted: 'I'll give you my shirt later'. I replied that I'd rather have his sister than his shirt," he concluded.</p>

<p>Materazzi-starrer Italy had the last laugh following the Zidane headbutt. The match went down to the wire, i.e. to the penalty shootout where Italy triumphed over the opposition by 5-3. Materazzi had a memorable outing, barring the headbutt from Zidane, as he scored his second goal in the penalty.&nbsp;</p>

The headbutt came in the final moments of the regulation time, with both France and Italy tied at 1-1. After scoring the first goal in the final, Zidane-led France were tied at 1-1 with Italy courtesy Materazzi's strike. Thus, there was tension in the middle. What unfolded from thereon ended Zidane's international career in an absurd and most unthinkable manner. The war of words with Materazzi led to the French captain losing his cool and going for a headbutt; leading to the Italian's injury. As a result, he was shown the red card; ending his international career all of a sudden. Here's a throwback video of how things panned out during the 2006 FIFA WC final for Zidane: ALSO READ | Cigars, BMW cars and luxury villa: Diego Maradona's belongings up for auction a year after his demise × ALSO READ | EXCLUSIVE | Meet Dinesh Patel: A rare breed of Indian sportsman and a top gun in baseball Quoted by Italian media, Materazzi spilled the beans on the Zidane headbutt while taking up fans' questions on Instagram live last year. "I wasn't expecting it in that moment. I was lucky enough that the whole episode took me by surprise because if I had expected something like that to happen and had been ready for it, I'm sure both of us would have ended up being sent off," Materazzi said. "There had been a bit of contact between us in the area. He had scored France's goal in the first half and our coach (Marcello Lippi) told me to mark him. After that first brush between us, I apologised but he reacted badly. The late tackles, altercations and exchanges continued until 110 minutes, when things reached a head. After the third clash, I frowned and he retorted: 'I'll give you my shirt later'. I replied that I'd rather have his sister than his shirt," he concluded. Materazzi-starrer Italy had the last laugh following the Zidane headbutt. The match went down to the wire, i.e. to the penalty shootout where Italy triumphed over the opposition by 5-3. Materazzi had a memorable outing, barring the headbutt from Zidane, as he scored his second goal in the penalty.

<p>MS Dhoni remains a big name in international cricket. The wicketkeeper-batsman made his international debut in late 2004 and soon became a household name for his hairstyle, power-hitting and leading India to the inaugural T20 World Cup title in 2007.&nbsp;</p>

<p>From thereon, there was no stopping Dhoni. The former Indian cricketer led the national side to all three major ICC titles, amassed over 17,000 runs across formats, accounted for 634 catches, 195 stumping and still remains India's second-highest six-hitter overall. While the 40-year-old was always in the middle of the action in the 22-yard cricket strip, and remains the same while representing Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL, he has always shied away from social media platforms.</p>

<p>R Ashwin has been in the news following his heated exchange with Eoin Morgan and Tim Southee during Delhi Capitals (DC) - Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) clash in match 41 of the IPL 2021 edition, in the UAE on Tuesday (September 28).&nbsp;</p>

<p>During DC's innings, Ashwin looked to steal a another run when a throw from KKR's Rahul Tripathi had&nbsp;ricocheted off Rishabh Pant. The wily off-spinner was eager to take an extra run, which eventually got completed. This wasn't&nbsp;received well by Morgan and Southee and the two KKR stars had a go at Ashwin after his dismissal. The 34-year-old off-spinner also gave it back to the KKR duo before Dinesh Karthik played the peace-maker and tried to control things.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Though the 'Game of Throne'&nbsp;series has ended, the HBO hit&nbsp;left actors feeling nostalgic about their characters.</p>

<p>Actor Jason Momoa, who played the role of Khal Drogo, wrote a heartfelt message expressing his feeling of "homesickness".</p>

<p>According to Entertainment Weekly, the star on Monday went through his library of photos to bring up the rare glimpse of life on the road from when he was shooting season 1 of 'GoT'.</p>

<p>The image, shared by the actor on Instagram, shows the '<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/entertainment-jason-momoa-khal-drogo-of-got-will-now-be-the-aquaman-in-marvel-series-24424">Aquaman</a>'&nbsp;laying down in the back of a van in Donegal, Ireland.</p>

<p>"It was an amazing simple moment with my best friend Brian Andrew Mendoza. While filming GOT we had a lil break. We were too broke to fly home so we rented a panel van aka UHAUL in Belfast and drove around beautiful amazing IRELAND searching for the greatest pint of Guinness. Turns out it's perfect everywhere. So many wonderful people and stories I treasure those times It was the simplest moments I remember the most. I still miss my family, Been a long road and I feel like I`m just getting started," he wrote.</p>
