Ex-IND Spinner 'Lucky' To Play With Sachin, Sourav, Dravid & VVS But Names WI Legend As 'Inspiration'

Last Updated: Murali Kartik credits his cricket inspiration to West Indies legend Sir Garfield Sobers but feels blessed to have mentors like Bedi and Singh and to play with Tendulkar and Dravid. Former India spinner Murali Kartik has shared insights into his cricketing journey, attributing his inspiration to West Indies cricket and the legendary Sir Garfield Sobers. 'Look, I've had the good fortune of taking up the sport because of West Indies cricket, to be very honest. For me, Sir Garfield (Sobers) was a great inspiration. I don't know if many people know about that, but I took up the sport because of West Indies cricket, and Sir Garfield Sobers was the inspiration," Kartik was quoted as saying to ANI. What Murali Kartik Said About Indian Cricketers? The left-arm spinner, who later represented India, expressed his gratitude for having Bishan Singh Bedi and Maninder Singh as mentors. 'As and when I became a left-arm spinner, I was lucky enough that I had the great Bishan Bedi and Maninder Singh as my mentor and guru. So for me, it's just been an absolutely brilliant journey," he added. Reflecting on his career, which spanned over two decades, Kartik considered himself blessed to play alongside some of India's finest cricketers. 'God was kind enough, I ended up playing the sport for twenty-six long years at various levels. I was also very lucky that I played possibly in one of the best generations with the likes of Sachin (Tendulkar), (Virender) Sehwag, Rahul (Dravid), (VVS) Laxman, Sourav (Ganguly), Zaheer (Khan), Ajit (Agarkar), (Javagal) Srinath, (Anil) Kumble, Harbhajan (Singh), the three of us as spinners, so, I can't ask for more, (Mohammed) Azharuddin was my captain at one stage. So it's just been a really nice journey," he said. On 'The Great Indian Cricket Show', Kartik also discussed storytelling in cricket, emphasising that behind every performance lies a tale of sacrifice and inspiration. 'Every story has a backstory, and the cricketers we watch or are inspired by. They've all had a story, even the other ones who aren't talked about. I think all of them have a story," he said. He added, 'With the help of explanations regarding statistics and all the technology, I think it should be a wonderful view because, at the end of the day, that is what inspires us. We all love a good story, and I always say this in sports: there is a lot of blood, sweat, and sacrifice involved, which any sports person has made, whether it's cricket or otherwise. So you have that story, and what has happened or transpired from it. I think that making a difference is what I feel."

Harshvardhan Rane Urges Fans To Not Order Food Amid Heavy Mumbai Rains: ‘Guys Please...'

Last Updated: Harshvardhan Rane urged fans not to order food amid heavy Mumbai rains, sharing a photo of a struggling delivery guy. Sanam Teri Kasam actor Harshvardhan Rane, on his Instagram, shared a story urging his fans not to order food from outside in Mumbai amid heavy rains. It has been pouring heavily in Mumbai for the last two days, and on Monday, the authorities issued a red alert. It has been quite difficult for people to move around, and amid this, several delivery guys have been struggling to travel. Addressing this issue, Rane put out a story. Sharing a picture of a delivery guy struggling with his two-wheeler submerged halfway in the water, Harshvardhan wrote, 'Guys pls make your own food today (sic)." Check out the post below. Mumbai has been facing waterlogging issues in many areas. Earlier, Sasural Simar Ka fame actor Dipika Kakar took to Instagram to salute the Mumbai Police as they rescued kids stuck in the rain. Sharing the video on her story, she wrote, 'Mumbai Police, this is so heartwarming to watch! A big salute to these policemen!!!" About Mumbai Rains Mumbai woke up once again to heavy rainfall on Monday, as waterlogged roads in several parts of the city led to traffic jams and tree collapses. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a red alert for Mumbai, upgrading it from orange. The weather department said a heavy to very heavy spell of rain was likely at a few places in Mumbai, with extremely heavy rainfall in isolated areas. About Harshvardhan Rane Rane is widely known for his film Sanam Teri Kasam, co-starring Pakistani actress Mawra Hocane. While Sanam Teri Kasam 2 was confirmed previously, Harshvardhan Rane later stepped down from the sequel if the producers went ahead with the same cast after Hocane's statement about India's Pakistan sindoor. Sanam Teri Kasam originally hit theatres in 2016. However, back then, it failed to leave a mark at the box office and earned hardly Rs 9 crore, but later gained iconic status. The actor is back in the spotlight with his upcoming romantic-action film Silaa. Silaa is being directed by Omung Kumar, the National Award-winning filmmaker known for the Priyanka Chopra-led biopic Mary Kom (2014). The film also stars Sadia Khateeb, Karanveer Mehra, and Ipsitaa in key roles. The screenplay is penned by Sameer Joshi, with dialogues written by Aarambh M. Singh.
