Struggling Rajasthan faces consistent MI today. Match Preview.

Mumbai Indians (MI) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) meet each other in match number 20 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020.

While MI are in good touch and have registered three wins, RR have lost momentum after the early promise.
The defending champions have a settled side and the performance against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) highlighted the same. Veteran all-rounder Kieron Pollard has been sensational this season.
As for the Royals, Steve Smith will have to rally the side and get them going as they have the likes of Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson and also Jofra Archer in pace.

Ground Status:
Dew has played its part and hasn't as well. The conundrum over whether to bat first or chase in Abu Dhabi continues. Mumbai Indians, despite playing three games here, are yet to chase. Royals, on the other hand, were easily mauled after batting first in their only game at the venue. Long boundaries would mean a lot of running. And with temperatures hovering around the mid-30s, expect fitness levels to be challenged.

Team News:
Mumbai Indians:
Everyone is in form and even as details on Nathan Coulter-Nile's availability are awaited, they wouldn't be fretting too much. An unchanged XI is expected.

Predicted XI:
Rohit Sharma (c), Quinton de Kock (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, James Pattinson, Rahul Chahar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah

Rajasthan Royals:
Ben Stokes won't be available as he is serving quarantine. The form of Robin Uthappa has been worrisome and with MI unlikely to play an off-break bowler, the Royals' management might be tempted to play Yashasvi Jasiwal, the 18-year-old southpaw. With pacers doing well in Abu Dhabi, there is also a chance for Royals to opt for an express pacer in the form of Oshane Thomas or Varun Aaron.

Predicted XI:
Jos Buttler (wk), Yashasvi Jaiswal/Robin Uthappa/Manan Vohra, Sanju Samson, Steve Smith (c), Riyan Parag. Mahipal Lomror, Tom Curran, Rahul Tewatia, Jofra Archer, Shreyas Gopal, Jaydev Unadkat/Varun Aaron

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।
