Q: Yashasvi Jaiswal’s parents celebrate their son’s feat

The parents of Team India's 22-year-old opener Yashshvi Jaiswal glued in front of their TV set on Saturday morning. They didn't want to miss a single ball on Saturday when the 2nd day's play resumed.

The reason was understandable. The left-hand batter was unbeaten on 179 runs at the end of the first day's play against England in the second Test match.

"We were certain about his double hundred", the father, Bhupendra Jaiswal, running a hardware store in Suriyawan, Bhadohi in Uttar Pradesh said.

"We have not travelled to Vishakhapatnam to watch the match from the ground. We did not go to Hyderabad either. The reason is: my son feels if we are at the ground, he comes under pressure and is unable to perform

Q: M.S Dhoni in no mood to retire

“From this moment onwards, consider me retired”, MS Dhoni had said when he retired from international cricket in 2020. Fans were anticipating that the legendary cricketer would repeat these words while holding the IPL trophy as captain of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Monday night. But Dhoni, true to form, did the unexpected!

He didn’t announce his retirement from IPL, instead, he expressed a desire to play in the next season too.

Instead of opting to give a fairy-tale ending to his career after leading the CSK to lift the coveted IPL trophy for the fifth time, he vowed to return for ‘at least’ one more season for the sake of his fans, though he added the proviso that it was subject to his body ‘allowing’ it.
