IPL 2020 – the best IPL ever?

IPL 2020 has been filled with uncertainties. Nail-bitting thrillers, super overs, injuries, controversies, records, etc., you name it! It has been everything the fans needed during these tough times caused by the pandemic.

We’re at the business end of the tournament, and it still isn’t clear as to which team will occupy that number 4 position of the points table. To put it in perspective, KXIP were at the bottom of the points table; however, winning four matches has them in contention for the number 4 spot. Three of those four wins have been against the top 3 teams of the points table, namely Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals, and Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Speaking of the top three teams, MI, DC, and RCB needed one win to solidify their playoffs. However, all three teams ended up losing their last game against RR, KKR, and CSK. That goes to show the fierce competition in the tournament.

Probable teams to make the playoffs

  1. Mumbai Indians
  2. Delhi Capitals
  3. Royal Challengers Bangalore
  4. Kings XI Punjab

Lewis Hamilton creates history after winning his 92nd race to overtake Michael Schumacher in the record books

0

Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton overtook Michael Schumacher’s existing record of most career race wins, to create his own new milestone. The British driver now has 92 wins with a victory percentage of close to 35%, having started his career with McLaren way back in 2007.

It has been exceptional with history rewritten right in front of our eyes, with many expecting Schumacher’s record would be absolutely unreachable and quite tough to beat. And the best part is that Hamilton could possibly go on to make it 100 F1 wins if he extends his contract with Mercedes – which could happen before the year is out.

Portuguese Grand Prix: Lewis Hamilton rewrites the F1 history, breaks  Michael Schumacher's record wins tally

After taking pole position in the Portuguese Grand Prix, there were few doubts of whether he would continue to lead the race as well. But, teammate Valtteri Bottas after some laps into the race took the lead which saw Hamilton’s win in slight danger.

However, that is what champions are made of and having covered the time gap between himself and Bottas, he overtook him in almost a known Lewis fashion. That Bottas’ pit stop helped build the gap a little, only served to favour Hamilton in the race.

Lewis Hamilton is now just 2 victories away from sealing a record-equalling seventh World Drivers’ Championship – a feat that Michael Schumacher also holds currently. Should the British driver manage to secure wins at Imola and Istanbul, it will see him crowned the winner yet again.

Such as has been the dominance of Lewis Hamilton over the years, that there is no longer a need to go to the final few races for a winner to be declared. One would not have ever imagined that a talented rookie would blitz the competition to achieve greatness. But then again, Hamilton is no ordinary driver either and his efforts and determination have seen him attain the dominance that he presently holds today.

Pogba’s new role at Manchester United

0

Paul Pogba is one of those world-class players whom United currently has in their squad. He is a match-winner when he is in form.

Pogba was out of the first XI in the last few matches for Manchester United. But he was brought on as a substitute. His cameo against Paris Saint Germain in UCL last week is his best performance this season. He didn’t score and assist in that match. But his presence in the field sealed the victory for the Red Devils.

Paul Pogba came back to Manchester United in 2016 on a 4-year contract to extend the contract for another year. Paul Pogba is a graduate of Manchester United academy. After that, he joined Juventus in 2012. In his 4 seasons in Italy, he had established himself as a top midfielder.

In his 178 appearances for the Italian side, he has scored 34 goals. He has also won 4 Serie-A titles with Juventus. Then he came back to his boyhood club. In his 159 games with United, he has scored 32 goals. In 2018, the Frenchman won the World Cup as well with his country.

Paul Pogba has always been criticized for his lack of consistency; last season he was struggling with his knee injury. He returned to the side after lockdown but was then tested Covid-19 positive, and he has been struggling to get back to his full fitness.

Ole explains the new role Pogba. He said, “You see, when you have got good players, it is a nice challenge and a nice decision to make when you have got players on the bench that can come on to impact the game.”

“I think Paul, in all three games this week, has come on and made a very positive impact.”

“Of course he has been out for a while with the coronavirus this summer. He is getting better and better, and more and more in shape.”

“Maybe I was unfair on him by starting him that early in the first few games. He is coming along and he has done great when he has come on.”

It will be a question, how long Pogba accepts the decision of keeping him on the bench. Manchester United is going to face RB Leipzig in a UCL tie after a 0-0 draw against Chelsea on Saturday.

FAU-G Teaser released; Indian Alternative to PUBG uses Brawler Mechanics to fight

0

The COVID-19 outbreak from China and the tension in the Indo-China border result in the ban of one of the most played mobile shooting games in India, PUBG. After the ban of this game in India, the internet was rattled in terms of the supportive and non-supportive statements regarding this decision by the Indian Government.

At that particular time, renowned Indian Bollywood star Akshay Kumar has teased about an upcoming made in India game which will be similar to PUBG, and he revealed the name too that is FAU-G (Fearless and United Guards). He has told that the FAU-G will be an alternative to the popular battle royale game PUBG.

Recently, a teaser video has just come out on the Internet of this game FAU-G. This teaser has not confirmed anything regarding the release date of this game. With the collaboration of Akshay Kumar, This game has been developed by Bengaluru-based nCore Games. The teaser is just about one minute, and it mainly gives us the plot of this upcoming game.

If we check the teaser video, we find that the first level of FAU-G that will be based on the Galwaan Valley skirmishes between India and China. Regarding the technology, this teaser shows the characters using brawler mechanics to fight with enemies. On the auspicious day of Dussehra, Akshay Kumar has released the teaser of FAU-G. As it is a teaser, there is nothing more to breakdown here, it just ends with a “coming soon” outro.

Regarding the launch, the NCore co-founder Vishal Gondal has already stated that FAU-G will get launched by the end of this month. Also, the company has promised that it will give 20% of FAU-G’s net revenues to the government’s fund-raising program Bharat Ke Veer.

So, this is gonna be a huge step from India against the Chinese. As India is trying the first time to develop such kind of game and also for the alternate of PUBG, it may be not up to the mark like PUBG.

But we need to keep in mind that this game will be purely Indian and it will also help the government’s fund-raising program Bharat Ke Veer. So we should support it from the first day and make it bigger and bigger in future.
