MS Dhoni Retro Jersey | Spotted in Retro Indian jersey ahead of IPL 2021 resumption. Mahendra Singh Dhoni is one of the most followed and loved celebrities in India. While he has already retired from international cricket, his popularity has not dipped down even a bit. People often keep a closer look at what he is doing and where he is going and at his first glimpse ask for photographs or autographs.

Recently, Dhoni went for a trip to Shimla with his friends and family and as soon as the tourists and local population realised where MSD was staying, they crowded around that space but Dhoni did not break their hearts as he obliged for a few pics and signatures. And in a picture now trending on social media, the former India captain, could be seen wearing the retro Indian blue navy blue jersey. While Dhoni does not get to don the blues on the cricket field anymore, he used the India jersey during an advertisement shoot.

The picture has since gone viral on internet. Check out the picture here: India vs Sri Lanka, 2nd T20I Weather Forecast: Will rain play a part in this fixture at Colombo? After the ODI leg of the India-Sri Lanka series, the T20I series also got underway with an exciting game on Sunday. The Shikhar Dhawan-led side eventually won the game comfortably and now all eyes are on the second T20I, which is also set to be played at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. However, ahead of the match, one may choose to wonder whether rain, which briefly interrupted the final ODI as well as the opening T20I, have any impact on the second game of the three-T20Is.

As it is known, rain can have a lot of impact on the result of the match and the mindset of the team even forcing captains to reconsider what they would do if they were to win the toss. Moreover, with wet outfield and the Duckworth Lewis system coming into play, teams tend to prefer chasing in these kind of matches but if it doesn't rain then the plan can even backfire. Weather forecast for India vs Sri Lanka 2nd T20I: At the outset, there are good enough chances of rain throughout the match day at Colombo.

‘Messi played with ME’: Former Barcelona forward Samuel Eto’o shuts down reporter asking question about Lionel Messi. Former Barcelona and Cameroon forward Samuel Eto’o hit back at a reporter after the reporter said that Eto’o 'played with Lionel Messi' during his Barcelona career. Eto’o took offence to the reporter's question regarding Messi in a recent interview. Eto'o played alongside Messi at the Camp Nou for five years between 2004 and 2009, when the Argentine superstar was only a youngster. Meanwhile, Eto’o was the first-choice striker at the Spanish giants when Messi made his senior debut for the club.

Eto'o scored 130 goals in 199 games for Barcelona during his time at the club. The Cameroonian striker joined Barca from Real Mallorca in 2004 and averaged 26 goals per campaign. Eto'o and Messi won three La Liga titles together as well as the Champions League trophy in 2009. Arguably, Eto'o was probably the bigger name than Messi during the time as a young Messi found his feet at the club. Eto'o was asked: "You mention Messi, what can he [Ansu Fati] learn from Messi?

Charith Asalanka: He has been one of the bright spots in the Sri Lankan team and would have to take up the responsibility for his team yet again in the remaining two matches if the island country has to put up a spirited show. Probable Playing XI. Bhuvneshwar Kumar reveals why he is ‘upset’ with teammate Yuzvendra Chahal. Yuzvendra Chahal is a known prankster in the Indian team.

Mirabai Chanu Olympics Medal Upgrade | Here is how silver-medalist Mirabai Chanu could still be awarded the gold medal at Tokyo 2020. India's Tokyo Olympics silver-medallist Mirabai Chanu still has an outside chance to the win gold medal in the 49kg women’s weightlifting competition. While the tournament may well be over for her, it is now being reported that China’s Hou Zhizhi, who bagged the gold in the category, has been asked to stay put in Tokyo for a doping Test. In the case of Zhizhi failing this tests, the Indian, who was the second best, will be given the medal. Post her silver win, Chanu did sound happy but also stated that she was determined to go for the ultimate prize- the olympic gold- but could not achieve her ambition. Who knows perhaps she can still get to live that dream if things pan out accordingly. "She (Zhizhi) has been asked to stay in Tokyo and the test will be done. Meanwhile, Chanu, had taken to social media to thank her countrymen and fans, soon after winning the medal.

Here is her tweet: "It’s really a dream come true for me. Fans want 100 medals from India and I want a Rolls-Royce for myself. When that 1 sports period in school is generally borrowed by the Math teacher to complete the course, is it fair to ask for 100 medals? Well, after a couple of days of Tokyo Olympics 2020, and the first medal from Mirabai Chanu, the expectations have risen where Indian fans have started to expect at least 100 medals from India. The question here is - Is it fair to expect 100 medals from India?

Well, in a country where athletes are travelling 10 kilometres to catch train and practising at 3 in morning because villagers would question a girl training - I think it's unfair to expect. It's unfair because of the mindset we still have in our country, it's unfair because we come forward to support only when a big event comes, it's unfair to expect because 80% of Mirabai Chanu's followers followed her only after winning the medal. Well, now many would say how do you back this data? Well, it's not your fault. Honestly, equipments, facilities, training are secondary. Jai Hind.
