At the HPCA stadium in Dharamshala, seasoned Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin is playing in his 100th Test match for India. In addition, the 37-year-old recently became the fastest Indian bowler to take 500 Test wickets, shattering the mark held by Anil Kumble.

When Ravichandran Ashwin took the field for his team in the fifth and final Test match against England in Dharamsala, he became the 14th Indian player to play 100 Test matches.

Head coach Rahul Dravid facilitated him with a cap, where the entire team and Ashwin’s wife Prithi and his daughters joined him to commemorate the momentous occasion.

He addressed all the Indian players and gave Devdutt Paddikal his debut cap. As the fifth Test against England got underway, the seasoned spinner was also accorded a guard of honour.

Ashwin has become a member of the elite group of players who have represented India in at least 100 Test matches. Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Sunil Gavaskar, VVS Laxman, Anil Kumble, Kapil Dev, Dilip Vengsarkar, Sourav Ganguly, Virat Kohli, Ishant Sharma, Harbhajan Singh, and Cheteshwar Pujara are among those on the list.

Since making his debut for India against the West Indies in 2011, the off-spinner has been an important part of the team’s bowling attack. With an average of 26.5 and a strike rate of 53.9 in 99 Test matches, Ashwin has claimed 507 wickets.

By taking a fifer in his 100th Test match, Ashwin will have the opportunity to enter the ranks of legendary cricketers like Shane Warne, Anil Kumble, and Muttiah Muralidharan. It is remarkable because Ashwin had claimed his first five-wicket haul in his maiden encounter against the West Indies, and it would be an incredible achievement if he could secure another fifer in his 100th Test match.

In addition to Ravichandran Ashwin, Jonny Bairstow of England is participating in his 100th Test match for the national team.

Actors Ram Charan, Akshay Kumar, Suriya, and Boman Irani were spotted dancing to the hit song Naatu Naatu with the legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar on the first day of the Indian Street Premier League (ISPL) in Mumbai following the Jamnagar celebration. There was also veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan and his son, Abhishek Bachchan.

The actors attended the Mumbai opening ceremony of the ISPL on March 6. Superstar Ram Charan from the South persuaded Bollywood’s Akshay Kumar, veteran actor Boman Irani, and Tamil cinema superstar Suriya to dance to Naatu Naatu.

The stars can be seen shaking their legs at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium in a video posted by the Paparazzo account. Soon after the video was shared, it quickly went viral. A user said, the Naatu Naatu fever is still on. Another user said this song can make anyone dance. A third user said it was truly an Oscar deserving song.

Ram Charan owns Falcon Risers Hyderabad in the Indian Street Premier League (ISPL), Suriya owns the Chennai team, and Akshay owns Srinagar Ke Veer. The team known as Team Master’s 11 is owned by Sachin Tendulkar. There are six teams in the tournament fighting to win the title.

Meanwhile, during the pre-wedding celebration of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, which was held in Gujarat’s Jamnagar from March 1 to March 3, the three Khans of Bollywood, namely, Shah Rukh, Aamir, and Salman, were seen shaking a leg to the Oscar-winning song Naatu Naatu. Later, Ram Charan joined them on stage and assisted them in doing the hook step of the song.

However, they were unable to match the step, so Salman took over and made Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan mimic his towel dance style from his popular song Jeene Ke Hain Chaar Din from Mujhse Shaadi Karogi.

India youngster Yashasvi Jaiswal has moved up two spots in the Test batting rankings to make his debut appearance in the top 10. Jaiswal’s rise is a result of his outstanding performance in the Test matchup with England.

Jaiswal has scored 655 runs in four Test matches so far in the series, showing off his excellent form. In a Test series against England, Jaiswal has already tied the all-time record for runs scored by Virat Kohli. In the Dharamsala Test match, he is set to surpass the legendary batter.

In the current series against England, Jaiswal has been on a tear. He opened with a fierce 80 runs in Hyderabad. India’s win in Vizag was made possible by the opener’s 209, and he added another double century in Rajkot to give the home team the advantage in the series.

With this achievement, Jaiswal became the third Indian batsman to score consecutive double hundreds in Test cricket, behind Vinod Kambli and Virat Kohli.

Earlier to the Rajkot Test match, the batter’s position in the Test rankings was 29th. Following his match-winning double hundred, Jaiswal shot up to rank 15, making the largest leap in recent memory. Following the third Test’s end, Jaiswal’s ranking increased by three spots, placing him in 12th place.

The batter made important contributions of 73 and 37 in the Test match, but he did not make a century in the fourth Test match in Ranchi. So far in the series, Jaiswal has not failed to register at least one fifty in any Test.

In the Test format, Jaiswal made his maiden appearance in the top 10 list after receiving another promotion, this time of two spots. As of right moment, the young player is the second Indian to be ranked among the top 10 Test batters. He joined Virat Kohli, who has remained at the eighth position.
