While Master Blaster urged his fans to watch a programme where he will be seen with famous musician Zakir Hussain on 9th January.

While English wicket-keeper Jonny Bairstow was delighted after joining Adidas, Aussie Women’s cricketer Lisa Sthalekar congratulated 19-year-old Rishabh Pant on getting selected in the T20I squad for England series. Former Sri Lankan all-rounder Russell Arnold who is currently among the commentary crew for the ongoing Test series between Sri Lanka and South Africa was seen exploring South Africa during his free time.

Sachin Tendulkar gave heartfelt condolences to Om Puri and his family after the famous actor’s death early today. Former New Zealand batsman Scott Styris congratulated Colin Munro for scoring a scintillating century against Bangladesh in the 2nd T20I.
