Today is his 47th birthday and wishes are pouring in from his former teammates and fans. While many waste their time comparing him to Sachin Tendulkar and debating who is better – an utterly fruitless and disrespectful exercise – most intelligent fans reminisce of his playing days. In a tribute to this great man and legend of the game, here we look back at five of the greatest innings that Rahul Dravid played in his Test career....
All said and done, there is no feeling in the world like true happiness or exhilarating joy. This is the epitome of emotions that every noble soul on earth should get to experience. WWE for all its ups and downs has a unique power. It is the power to take fans on an absolute roller coaster ride of emotions, something I feel it’s unparalleled at. There is no feeling like seeing our favorite wrestler win her or his first world title....
The Red Devils have maintained their status as the biggest outfit in England for several decades. With cash flowing in consistently, spending big in the transfer market to sign elite superstars has never been an issue. The concern, however, is that many of these high-profile signings never stepped up at Old Trafford. From being the undisputed superstars of their former teams to becoming mere shadows of themselves at Manchester United and eventually leaving in frustration, things happened quickly in the careers of these players....
5-Hour Energy has signed a three-year deal to remain with Michael Waltrip Racing and driver Clint Bowyer as primary sponsor for 24 races each season through 2017. MORE: Bowyer son | Kansas picks | Earnhardt sponsor | Johnson ciriticized Keselowski Last September, in the wake of the race manipulation scandal that led to severe penalities for Bowyer and MWR, Henderson was frustrated. “I've got one thing I've got to say,” Henderson said....
Of course, once you figure out which car you want, you’ll want to know just how much your lease will actually cost you. How’s Your Lease? Leasing a car can be rather complicated, as it involves various fees, varying lease terms and lenders, and so on. Keeping track of all the details can be difficult at times, so using an automated lease calculator is the best thing you can do....
One always measures the success rate of the captain depending upon how the players managed to perform and evolve as a cricketer under a particular captain. Good captains share knowledge and their experiences with the team and transform the team into a well-oiled unit. India has been a tad lucky and blessed to witness five great captains in the 21st century. Here is a take on 5 Indian captains of the 21st century and their contribution to Indian cricket....
India is a hub for cricketing talent. This is the country that has produced great batsmen like Sachin Tendulkar, Sunil Gavaskar, and Rahul Dravid; and also some great bowlers like Anil Kumble, Zaheer Khan, and Harbhajan Singh. But sadly a major chunk of the talents emerging today only target the IPL and the shorter formats of the game. It is up to to the selectors, and the captain to find the right talent to represent the country and give him a long run to get accustomed to international cricket....
India would come as a refreshed team for the Australian tour. They had a good practice match before the first Test. India received a big blow in that match as Prithvi Shaw got injured. He would miss the first Test against Australia due to his ankle injury. The Indian team was relieved when both the openers Vijay and Rahul scored good runs in the second innings of the match. They gained a lot of confidence ahead of their first Test against Australia and now they would look to continue their performance to win the series....
The 2 year, 8-month hiatus highlights how the selectors do not mind bringing older legs back into the fold, as experience will matter on these very wickets when India plays the World Cup next year. While Raina has been in and out of the T20I setup, even when he was away from the ODI squad, his inclusion to the 50-over squad is a massive boost to his career that seemed to have floundered with his exclusion from a format that he was a constant feature in for a long time....
To be a face, you need to toe that line between endearing and pandering, making sure to give the crowd what they want without making it too obvious. For a heel though, being an effective bad guy may be as simple as attacking whomever the fans cheer, and refusing to explain yourself. Despite this, there have been attempts to turn some Superstars heel, that for one reason or another, didn’t pan out....
When all the cameras are on you, it’s easy to get conscious. But that’s just the reality of life that footballers have to get accustomed to. Every micro-reaction could get picked up and every interview could get dissected and speculated upon. As such, it is really difficult for any footballer to hold a clean rap sheet. In fact, it is quite easy for football stars to make people hate them....
It’s something incomprehensible, given that it occurs in those so young, and to bear witness to something so tragic is both shocking and numbing. Often, and for obvious reasons, such occurrences are kept out of the news, but on occasions, such tragedy has befallen those players in top flight football. Here are five footballers who lost their lives while playing the game they loved. #1 Miklos Feher (Age 24): Benfica v Vitoria, January 24, 2004 A game that was being broadcast live on Portuguese television had, for the most part, been a decent, competitive encounter and Feher had come on looking to help Benfica break the deadlock in what had been, until his introduction, a goalless match....
However, with the emphasis football places on its exponents physically, several footballers are well equipped to handle the rigours of other sports and forms of sports entertainment. Additionally, football is the most watched sport on the planet and its stars are famous all over the world. Hence, it has always been a fantasy of football fans to delve deeper into how their favourite players would conduct themselves in a slightly different environment....
Foreign language films have gradually become more popular in the United States, as more audiences open up to the idea of enjoying a film with subtitles.

Since Ronaldo joined Real Madrid back in 2009, Real Madrid and Juventus have faced each other seven times in the Champions League. Ronaldo didn’t shy away from finding the back of the net, as he scored 10 goals in the process. Believe it or not, Juventus is his favourite European opponents. He has scored more goals against Juventus in Champions League than any other opponents. It is a football irony that the modern great joined his dear prey....
In today’s era of professional wrestling, we can almost predict, within a month or so, when WWE is going to start wishing some of their talents well in their future endeavors. Sometimes it’s deserved, other times it’s not. Either way, it’s a necessary evil in today’s wrestling. Then there are instances in which someone just decides they need to walk away, for one reason or another. Sometimes it’s to start a family, sometimes it’s a disgruntled wrestler and sometimes there just isn’t a clear-cut reason, it’s just time to make a break....
Many of the usual suspects have already confirmed attendance, with the aforementioned Ubisoft, as well as Nintendo and Xbox, announcing a presence at the show. As anticipation ramps up, and rumors begin to make the rounds, gamers and media alike begin to ponder exactly what will be shown at E3 2021. While Xbox revealing more gameplay for Halo Infinite, or PlayStation delivering a glimpse at Horizon: Forbidden West seem like a safe bet, there are many titles that have an unfortunate chance of being absent from the event....
Hopefully, the previous statement is incorrect and these titles do make their way to PS Plus someday, but it does seem unlikely. For the most part, this is either because they are relatively new titles, they have recently had remasters, or they are older titles which are still going strong in the grand scheme of things. Most PS Plus games tend to be either older titles or releases ahead of a sequel as a means of promotion, and these five games don’t fit any of those requisites....
However, since the release of the Switch, Nintendo hasn’t made significant improvements to its performance, while other consoles have innovated with better hardware and improved features.

There have been many times throughout the MCU’s history where a brilliant actor has gotten the short end of the stick, either due to lack of screen time or subpar writing.
