Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Rajasthan Royal Preview: Virat Kohli and Steve Smith to experience Old Rivalry again.

Most of cricketing tales in the recent past have been about who among Virat Kohli and Steve Smith is a better batsman. The clash between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals may be a new chapter in that debate.
When Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) take on Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the first match of the weekend double-header in Abu Dhabi on Saturday, the contest between Virat Kohli and Steve Smith will be back on the boil.
The Bengaluru outfit is in a happier frame of mind since their Super Over win over Mumbai Indians, while Rajasthan Royals would be a little humbled by the big loss to Kolkata Knight Riders.
RCB have two wins and a one loss from three matches, a much better situation than last year, and Kohli would be happy at the manner in which they were able to stave off Mumbai Indians and then he was at hand with bat to seal off the Super Over.

Navdeep Saini was quite the star for sending down a fine Super Over, which made the job for Kohli and AB de Villiers that much easier. Saini has been at the forefront of the RCB attack, with Isuru Udana coming in as a surprise foil, as the leggies Yuzvendra Chahal and Adam Zampa were made to toil by Ishan Kishan and Kieron Pollard. As for the batting, Devdutt Padikkal has been quite the bonus at the top of the order while Aaron Finch is doing what he does best. In fact, barring Kohli, the other top four in the line-up, including De Villiers and Shivam Dube, have been quite efficient.
As for Rajasthan Royals, they were on a tremendous high in the first two matches but were brought down to earth with a thump by KKR. Jofra Archer was sensational with the ball and the KKR total of 174 was not unachievable but the batting simply caved in front of some accurate bowling. It can be called an aberration, since a line-up that includes Smith, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson and Robin Uthappa among others is not likely to fail often. But they did on the day, and paid the price. So, it becomes inevitable that RR come back with a bang, which would make these batsmen vital when they face RCB on Saturday.

Team News and Predicted XI:
Rajasthan Royals:
Rovin Utthappa is going through a very bad forms,Hope they bring Jaiswal or Vohra for him.But this means Smith and Buttler will have to break alliances to come down the order and making middle order a little strong.

Predicted XI:
Butter,Manan Vohra/Yashasvi Jaiswal,Smith, Samson,Riyan Parag,Rahul Tewatiya,Tom Currn, Shreyas Gopal,Jofra Archer, Ankit Rajpoot,Jaydev Unadkat

Royal Challengers Bangalore:
They are coming through winning fest.So expect no changes if Morris don't get fit.

Predicted XI:
Paddikal,Finch,Virat Kohli,AB Devilliars,Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Shivam Dubey,Sunder,Udana/Morris,Saini,Chahal,Zampa

Khauf : Best Indian Horror Content in Past Some Time?

Image
Khauf (2025) Prime Video It feels annoying when people complain about nothing good, nothing fresh, comes out of India but when content like this goes under the radar, who you've got to blame? If you've watched it, absolutely great. If not go watch now. It's a great show, a pure horror show from India, psychological and even supernatural, something that was missing for a long time. It perfectly mixes psychological & supernatural horror, but it also throws in some really sharp social commentary. It has flaws rarely and easily ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It goes deep into tough stuff like patriarchy, sexual violence, and societal oppression. Super intense, but so important. It makes you think a lot about yourself about society. It's about facing uncomfortable truths.  The acting in Khauf is just perfect. Every actor brings such raw intensity and emotional depth, making their characters' struggles feel incredibly real. You feel connected. ...

अंधविश्वासी लोग भगवान के नाम पर खेल रहे खून की होली !!

 मध्य प्रदेश में पांढुर्ना नाम का एक स्थान है। हर साल पोला उत्सव के अगले दिन वहां मेले का आयोजन किया जाता है। यह मेला गोटमार मेले के नाम से काफी प्रसिद्ध है। पांढुर्ना के बगल में सावरगाँव नाम का एक गाँव स्थित है। दोनों गांवों के बीच एक नदी स्थित है। चंडी देवी का एक मंदिर सावरगाँव में नदी के पास स्थित है। हर साल जब गोटमार मेला आयोजित किया जाता है तो एक रिवाज़ का आयोजन किया जाता है।नदी के बीच में एक झंडा लगाया जाता है और दोनों गांवों के ग्रामीण नदी के दोनों किनारों पर एक दूसरे के सामने खड़े हो जाते हैं। फिर वे एक-दूसरे पर पत्थर फेंकना शुरू कर देते हैं क्योंकि देवी के सम्मान में खून बहाने की परंपरा है। और जो पहले झंडा फहराता है उसे सम्मान मिलता है। हम अभी 20वीं सदी में हैं लेकिन अब भी कुछ जगहों पर ऐसे लोग परंपरा के नाम पर ऐसे काम करते हैं।  इसलिए हमें लोगों को शिक्षित करने की आवश्यकता है, ताकि इन हानिकारक वस्तुओं को हमारे समाज से दूर रखा जा सके क्योंकि इनका बच्चों और युवाओं पर बुरा प्रभाव पड़ सकता है।
