Star Sports Experts doff their hat to Ajinkya Rahane, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni after CSK’s Super Show at Wankhede

Chennai Super Kings cruised to a near-perfect win against Mumbai Indians at Wankhede Stadium and MS Dhoni’s fans couldn’t have asked for a better performance. The legendary captain marshaled his troops exceedingly well in a battle of champions on Super Saturday.

The tactical acumen of ‘captain cool’ Dhoni came to the forefront yet again as he utilized the potential of his players to the best of their abilities and outfoxed Rohit Sharma & Co. Lauding MS Dhoni for his captaincy moves, former India cricketer Ravi Shastri said the former India skipper had every trick up his sleeve as he assessed the pitch well.

Speaking to Star Sports, the official TV broadcaster of TATA IPL, Ravi Shastri said, “MS Dhoni made excellent use of Santner and Jadeja against Mumbai Indians batters. He knew that on such wickets these two can turn the tide, and that is why he showed more confidence in them.”

Jadeja was at his best against arch-rivals as the star India all-rounder picked up three wickets and took that sensational reflex catch of Cameron Green – which the experts dubbed as the catch of the tournament.

Speaking to Star Sports, the official TV broadcaster of TATA IPL, former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh said, “Ravindra Jadeja is a superhero in the true sense. He can turn the match in his team’s favour anytime with the ball or the bat. Not everyone can take the catch he took of Cameron Green. He is such a special player.”

Sunil GavaskarSpeaking to Star Sports, the official TV broadcaster of TATA IPL, former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar said, “Like his captain, Jadeja is absolutely fearless. Green’s catch is like making a possibility out of the improbable. No matter how much you praise this player, it is less.”

But the show-stopper of the evening was a Mumbai boy albeit in CSK’s yellow jersey, Rahane – who played a knock for the ages. Playing his first game for CSK, the India cricketer made everyone fall in love with his classical stroke play, again.

Former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh hailed Rahane’s knock as every shot the talented batter played, oozed class.

Speaking to Star Sports, the official TV broadcaster of TATA IPL, Harbhajan Singh said, “There are no words to praise this knock from Rahane. This inning is going to be will be remembered for years as Rahane has shown his true class. We had all forgotten about his batting style, but now we have a clear idea of his class.”

Gujarat Titans look capable of defending their TATA IPL title: Sanjay Manjrekar

Defending Champions Gujarat Titans will lock horns with a resurgent Kolkata Knight Riders in their second TATA IPL 2023 home game at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

One of the biggest reasons for Gujarat Titans’ consistently good performance in TATA IPL is the approach of their captain and the coaching staff.

According to former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar, captain Hardik Pandya and head coach Ashish Nehra keep the atmosphere in the squad light and a chilled-out dressing room helps the players bring their A-game every time they step on the pitch.

Speaking to Star Sports, the official TV broadcaster of TATA IPL, Sanjay Manjrekar said, “Hardik is a successful captain because he does not take the game too seriously. Also, Ashish Nehra takes care of the tactical side and that is the reason why this team really seems to be playing as a unit. They proved it by winning the title last season and this season they beat CSK and confirmed that they are ready to defend their title.”

In the second game of Super Sunday, a strong Punjab Kings side will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad, who have lost both their opening games. All eyes will be on young England all-rounder Sam Curran – who is the costliest buy in the history of TATA IPL. Impressed with the performance of the team, former India cricketer Virender Sehwag claims bowlers are going to hold the key for the Shikhar Dhawan-led side in this edition.

Speaking to Star Sports, the official TV broadcaster of TATA IPL, Virender Sehwag said, “Sam Curran will prove to be a very important bowler for Punjab Kings. He had a stellar run in the T20 World Cup and that confidence will work in his, as well as the team’s favour. Apart from Curran, Arshdeep Singh, Rahul Chahar, and Kagiso Rabada will be seen providing strength to this team. Overall Punjab looks very strong as a bowling unit.”

Actors Rupali Ganguly and Gaurav Khanna lend their support to Whisper’s #KeepGirlsInSchool Campaign

Mumbai: April 10, 2023 – Actors Rupali Ganguly and Gaurav Khanna are taking on Whisper’s mantle to educate mothers on the biology of periods. Both actors took to their social media handles to talk about how important it was to include ‘The Missing Chapter’ in the curriculum of schools so that adolescent girls don’t miss a single day of studies during their periods because of age-old taboos and misinformation.

Feminine-care brand Whisper, from the house of Procter & Gamble, recently launched the fourth edition of its #KeepGirlsInSchool campaign with a film titled ‘The Missing Chapter’. Conceptualized by Leo Burnett, through the film, Whisper aims to empower mothers with the right knowledge on period care, so that they in turn, can educate their daughters on menstrual hygiene and on using sanitary pads during their monthly cycles.

Rupali Ganguly and Gaurav Khanna both highlighted that in most parts of India, mothers themselves are unaware of the biological workings of their body during menstruation leaving 71% of the girls in India not aware about periods when they first get them. As a result, young girls have limited knowledge on how to manage their periods and prefer to stay home during period days every month. ‘The Missing Chapter’ aims to break this cycle of ignorance carried on through generations of mothers who were themselves never educated about this natural process.

Rupa Ganguli“I strongly believe that menstrual education is a huge gap in our society and has to be addressed as it is so critical for the growth and development of our girls from an early age. Unfortunately, many young girls don’t know about this natural process and don’t have access to sanitary pads. This leads to misconceptions and taboos around periods. Whisper’s KGIS campaign is doing an incredible job of educating young girls and women about menstrual health and hygiene and I’m very happy to support this cause,” said Rupali Ganguly, known for her stellar act in Anupamaa.

G0urava Khanna

“Not only young girls, we, as a society, need to be comfortable talking about periods and making an effort to understand what women and young girls go through every month. It is the most natural process in the world, and should be common knowledge to all. Whisper’s focus and dedication to creating awareness about periods and making sanitary products available to one and all is commendable and I am honoured to be associated with the brand,” said Gaurav Khanna who has acted in popular series like Anupamaa and Tere Bin.

“We are thrilled to have actors like Rupali and Gaurav take forward our message to a larger audience and thank them for their support of Whisper’s KGIS campaign. When included in the curriculum of schools across India, ‘The Missing Chapter’ has the power to completely change the way adolescent girls and unaware mothers perceive periods both in rural and urban India. It will change the entire dynamics of our society. Less girls will drop out of school because of their periods and more dreams will be realised, more aspirations will be fulfilled and that is the ultimate goal we are working towards with our KGIS campaign,” said Girish Kalyanaraman, Vice President and Category Leader, Feminine Care, Procter & Gamble India.

Whisper launched its #KeepGirlsInSchool Campaign in the year 2020 to shed light on ‘Missing Girls’ from Indian schools every month. They continued with the thought-provoking campaign in 2021 highlighting, ‘Missing Future’ of girls who dropped out of schools during their periods. In 2022, the brand brought to notice the ‘The Missing Chapter’ on periods in the school syllabi highlighting an important question – how long a Missing Chapter can be kept away from the Indian education system?

This campaign has struck the right chord with viewers who are seen lauding Whisper’s efforts to go the extra mile to spread period awareness.

Hyderabad kick-off Hero Super Cup campaign against Aizawl FC

Hyderabad kick-off Hero Super Cup

Manjeri: Manolo Marquez’s Hyderabad FC is back in action for the first time after the penalty shootout defeat in Kolkata, as they take on Aizawl FC in Hero Super Cup Group B clash at the Payyanad Stadium in Manjeri, in a 5:00 pm kick-off on Sunday, April 9.

HFC will play in their first-ever Super Cup campaign and will look to make a strong start against the I-League side. The Reds, on the other hand, beat TRAU FC in the Super Cup qualifier earlier this month, to register a place in the group stage of the competition.

The Aizawl FC side, currently under Coach Victor Lalbiakmawia, beat TRAU FC 1-0 in their qualifier at Manjeri. Belarus attacker Ivan Veras found the back of the net in that game and could be a danger man for Hyderabad in this game as well.

HFC Head Coach Manolo Marquez spoke to the media ahead of this game and believes that there is no place for complacency in a competition like the Hero Super Cup.

“It is going to be a tough game for our side. We have not played a single game for three weeks now while Aizawl recently beat TRAU and have been preparing for this competition for a slightly longer time,” said Manolo.

“We know that we need to win every game to qualify for the knockouts but Aizawl have a strong squad with quality players and if we lose, I think we do not deserve to qualify in the end,” he added.

Hyderabad named their first team squad for the Super Cup campaign with the likes of Bart Ogbeche, Joao Victor, Halicharan Narzary, Borja Herrera, Javi Siverio, Joel Chianese, and Odei Onaindia all set to play a role in this competition.

Laxmikant Kattimani misses out, nursing his injury but Hyderabad has enough quality to put on a strong performance against The Reds in this tie.

The game kicks off at 5:00 pm IST and will be telecasted live on Sony Sports 2 with live streaming on Fancode.
