Question - We saw you and Kohli laughing a lot during the last series. What was that about? 👀
Mitchell Starc -
"It was just a funny banter between us. I asked him "Did I bowl good?" He said "Yeah, pretty much."
Then I asked "when are you taking me back to RCB?" He laughed and said "as soon as we make a plan to ditch Hazlewood." That absolutely made me laugh. (laughs)
Later I told this to Hazlewood and he replied, "there's no way I'm letting you take my place."
They all love to play for that red and gold badge 😂❤️
SPECIAL FLIGHT TO PICK UP GAYLE BY VIJAY MALLYA
In 2011, Chris Gayle went unsold in the IPL auction after not being retained by Kolkata Knight Riders. Teams were unsure about his availability due to international commitments and off-field issues.
Then Vijay Mallya stepped in and sent a special flight to bring Gayle in as a replacement for RCB. Gayle took a long 14-hour flight, reached just hours before the match, and was asked if he was ready to play. Despite being exhausted, he accepted the challenge. especially against KKR, the team that had released him. He walked in, dominated the game, and smashed a brilliant century the same night.
Famous players like Jasprit Bumrah, Yuvraj Singh, Shubman Gill, and Ish Sodhi are all Sikhs who choose to cut their hair.
Here is a simpler way to explain the three main groups:
1. Amritdhari (The Initiated)
These are Sikhs who have taken Amrit. They follow the rules very strictly.
Hair: They never cut or shave any hair on their body.
Rules: They must wear the "5 Ks" at all times.
2. Keshdhari (The Turban-Wearers)
This is the group I belong to. These are the majority of Sikhs you see. Arshdeep Singh comes into this category too.
Hair: they keep the hair on their head long and wear a turban.
Rules: They follow the faith and look like traditional Sikhs, but they might not have taken the Amrit or might trim their beard.
Note: Many people use the word Sehajdhari for this, but technically, "Keshdhari" means "one who keeps hair."
3. Mona (The Shorn)
These are people who feel Sikh in their hearts and follow the religion’s teachings.
Hair: They choose to cut their hair and do not wear a turban.
Identity: They still identify as Sikh and visit the Gurdwara, but they don't keep the outward look.
