TATA IPL 2022 – Match No 4 – Gujarat Titans wins against Lucknow Super Giants - Ayush Badoni first to score 50 on debut in IPL

The cricketing world expected Match No 4 of TATA IPL 2022 to be an interesting one. No doubt, the teams of Lucknow and Gujarat are new but many of the players have already played in the Indian Premier League under different franchise. They have now donned new colors. Lucknow has KL Rahul in the role of captain plus wicket keeper. He was earlier in Punjab Kings. Similarly, Hardik Pandya was in Mumbai Indians and is now the captain of Gujarat Titans. The venue of clash was Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.


Gujarat Titans won their inaugural match against fellow newbie Lucknow Super Giants. Gujarat won the toss and sent Lucknow in to bat. Lucknow lost early wickets and were 109 for 4 after 15 overs. Deepak Hooda was LBW to Rashid Khan when on 55. He had hit 2 sixers. Ayush Badoni made 54 before he fell to Varun Arun. He hit 3 sixers. He created history by becoming the first batsman in IPL to score a 50 on debut. Lucknow could score 158 for 6 in the allotted 20 overs. It must have been far below their expectations.

In reply, Gujarat made 161 for 5 in 19.4 overs. Rahulia Tewatia top scored with 40 n.o. Hardik Pandya made 33 while Matthew Wade and David Miller chopped in with 30 runs each. Gujarat Titans hit 5 sixers. Mohammad Shami took 3 wickets to become Player of the Match.

TATA IPL 2022 – KKR beats CSK in Match No. 1

The inaugural match of TATA IPL 2022 was between Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. KKR won the toss, asked CSK to bat first, and won the match. Both teams had new captains. Ravindra Jadeja was captain of CSK and Shreas Iyer was captain of KKR. In hindsight, it seems Jadeja could have innovated and tried to win the match. He could have brought in Dwayne Bravo a bit earlier and the score might have been more respectable. That might have helped. However, what is done cannot be undone.

The first match of TATA IPL 2022 went to KKR. CSK put up a very low score of 131 and its opener Rituraj Gaikwad perished for a duck. His partner followed him after a few balls and others put up a gallant fight. The 50 not out of M. S. Dhoni showed he can still play his shots but the bowlers of KKR kept bowling dot balls. Umesh Yadav got 2 wickets while Varun Chakravorty and Andre Russel got one wicket each. It was certainly not the sort of start CSK wanted.


Anyway, KKR ensured a win with 9 balls left in spite of the bowling of Dwayne Bravo. He got three wickets for 20 runs. The wickets were of Venkatesh Iyer, Sam Billings and Nitish Rana. Man of the Match was Umesh Yadav for his 2 for 20.

Street foods like idli and dosa of South India have flooded Kolkata, Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai and other cities

Once upon a time in the 1970s, there used to be a tiny outlet for South Indian snacks beside the Metro Cinema in Kolkata. Today, such foods have gained acceptance across the country. A possible reason could be the simple ingredients involved like rice and dal with a few spices. These are for idlis – they are steamed, do not require any cooking oil and are served with sambhar and coconut chutney. When it comes to dosas, there are additions of onion, chili, and cooking oil. Here also sambhar and coconut chutney are served along with the main item. The utensils are simple affairs and while investments are less, the returns are high. Many unemployed youth have opted to sell such street foods.

Of course, some have innovated on the final product. There are omelet dosas where a beaten egg replaces the normal stuffing of a mixture of mashed potatoes and onions with green chilies and curry leaves. The bottom line is to introduce a bit of variety in one’s life.

Salman Khan is one of the most popular stars of Indian cinema as also of Indian television. He has a huge fan following in the social media as also literal fan following – those who follow him where ever he may go. This is especially applicable to his female fans.
One of them recently clicked a selfie with Salman Khan and posted it on social network sites claiming to be his girlfriend. His latest tryst with female fans is when he was apparently robbed by two female fans at a posh night club in Mumbai.
This has been reported in indianexpress.com dated 10 October 2015.

As revealed by a close friend of the star – he had been to a club with some friends. There, a couple of female fans approached him and he started chatting with them in his informal friendly way.

But, on return to his table, he discovered his loss – his valuables had vanished as had the two fans!!
In view of these experiences with his female fans, Salman Khan has decided never to click pictures with strangers and, he might also not interact much with his fans.
