Former India captain and legendary spinner Bishan Singh Bedi passed away on Monday after a prolonged illness. He was the father of actor Angad Bedi and father-in-law of actress Neha Dhupia. He was 77 years old and is also survived by his wife.

 

Bedi was considered to be one of the greatest spinners of all time. He played 67 Tests for India between 1967 and 1979 and picked up 266 wickets. He also took seven wickets in 10 One-Day Internationals.

Bedi, along with Erapalli Prasanna, BS Chandrasekhar, and S. Venkataraghavan, was part of a quartet of spinners who revolutionised Indian cricket in the 1970s. They were known as the "spin quartet" and were responsible for some of India's most memorable victories overseas.

One of Bedi's most notable achievements was his performance in the 1977-78 Test series in Australia. He led India to a 2-3 defeat, but his team put on a mighty fight, clinching wins in the third and fourth tests. Bedi himself finished the series with 21 wickets.

Bedi was known for his subtle variations in his bowling that helped him confuse and outwit batsmen. He was also a very good fielder and was a great asset to the Indian team. Apart from his international cricket career, Bedi was also a big name domestically. He played for Delhi in the Ranji Trophy and led them to titles in 1978, 1979, and 1980, 1981.

Bedi's death is a huge loss to the world of cricket. He was a legend of the game and will be deeply missed by his fans all over the world.

Bombay High Court orders stays the release of Hamare Baarah, two days before the film’s release June 07, 2024 at 01:02PM

By Banglore Film City
Hamare Baarah, which is making news for its bold approach and thought-provoking plotline, has been mired in controversy, with the makers landing in deep trouble. The highly anticipated release of Annu Kapoor, Manoj Joshi, and Paritosh Tripathi starrer, has encountered a significant setback as the Bombay High Court has issued a stay on its release just two days before its scheduled release on June 7, extending the hold until June 14. This unexpected turn of events has impacted the premiere of the film which was expected to be held this week, leaving makers in an uncertain dilemma. The legal obstacle arises from a petition filed by activists from a specific religious community at the Mumbai High Court, opposing the film's release. Producers Birender Bhagat and Ravi S Gupta have raised serious concerns regarding the imposition of the stay, especially given that the film had already obtained a censor certificate. In a recent statement given to NDTV, Mr Bhagat explained their predicame...
