Jeremy Renner says he could see his 'left eye with his right eye' after near-fatal accident
Washington [US], April 23 (ANI): Actor Jeremy Renner's memoir My Next Breath, where he shares personal memories from his near-fatal accident in 2023, is set to release on April 29 this year.
'The Avengers' star was injured by his 14,000-pound Snowcat vehicle while trying to stop it from hitting his nephew in January 2023. He suffered over 35 broken bones and serious injuries to his head and chest, reported People.
Renner, who recently spoke to the publication, opened up about the accident, stating that it is a part of his life now and that writing about it helped him process the trauma.
"Writing about it has been very emotionally cathartic to have to go word by word through it all again. I don't not talk about it. It's part of my life every day, and it's always a wonderful reminder of the strength of the human spirit and how fragile the body is and how badass it is at recovery," Renner told People.
In the book, he recalls a shocking moment when he could see his "left eye with [his] right eye" after his head hit the pavement. Despite the pain, Renner says he is not haunted by the memories.
"I'm not haunted by the incident -- not too often anyway -- by the images, the sounds. But I am reminded of my new reality, and it's wonderfully positive. I didn't die."
Renner had suffered injuries while trying to save his nephew, Alex, who was 27 at the time of the accident. (ANI)

Krunal Pandya spills beans about conversation with brother Hardik after RCBs maiden IPL triumph
Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], May 4 (ANI): Krunal Pandya, who was named Player of the Match in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 18th edition final against Punjab Kings, revealed that he called his brother Hardik after the game and cited that the Pandya household has nine IPL trophies in 11 years. Krunal, who Bengaluru acquired for ₹ 5.75 crore, unleashed every weapon from his fully-loaded arsenal in the high-stakes final and left the spectators spellbound and returning with figures of 2/17 in his four-over spell. He single-handedly broke the backbone of Punjab's attempt to hunt down the 191-run target and steered Bengaluru to a six-run triumph and RCB's first IPL trophy victory. While receiving the Player of the Match award, Krunal spilt the beans about the conversations he had with his brother Hardik and reminded him about the number of IPL titles they have had in the last decade. "When I joined RCB, I said that I loved winning trophies. After three and a half months, glad I was able to fulfil what I said on Day 1. Been pretty good - 10 years, 4 IPL trophies. I also told Hardik on the phone that there will be 9 IPL trophies in the Pandya household in 11 years," Krunal said in the post-match presentation. In his memorable outing, Krunal returned with the priceless scalps of Prabhsimran Singh (26) and Josh Inglis (39) to derail Punjab's attempts to chase the target. The trick behind Krunal's success was deceiving the batters by varying his pace and having the "guts" to execute it because it leaves the bowler with no margin of error. "When we batted in the first innings, I was sitting outside and chatting with the batters. I realised the slower you bowl, the better. But in this format, as a bowler, you need guts to do that because the margin of error is small," he said. "I just backed myself and thought that if I'm able to vary my pace and keep it more on the slower side, I'll create chances rather than just coming and firing it in. What has been my biggest strength is learning what the situation requires. I've always backed my gut and instinct," he awith 25 scalps in 15 matches at an average of 19.52, best figures of 4/41. dded. (ANI)

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], June 3 (ANI): Star Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batter Virat Kohli registered a new record to his name during the Indian Premier League (IPL) final, as he is now the player with the most fours in the history of the competition. While the title clash was not very special for Virat with the bat, as he struggled to get his full rhythm during a knock of 43 in 35 balls, with three fours at a strike rate of just over 122, he still managed to get a record to his name. Now in 267 matches, Virat has scored 771 fours, outdoing former opener Shikhar Dhawan (768). During this season, he ended his campaign with 657 runs in 15 matches at an average of 54.75, with a strike rate of 144.71, with eight fifties. His best score this season is 73*. Also, he has the most runs by a single player against an opponent in the history of IPL, with 1,159 runs against PBKS at an average of 36.21 in 36 matches and innings and a strike rate of 132.60. He has scored a century and six fifties against PBKS, with the best score of 113. He has outdone his own record of 1,146 runs against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Coming to the match, PBKS won the toss and elected to bowl first.
