At 7:29 pm on August 15, 2020, Indian cricket witnessed the end of an era. Mahendra Singh Dhoni, one of the most influential cricketers in the country's history, announced his retirement from international cricket, bringing the curtain down on a remarkable 15-year career. There was no farewell press conference, no long speech and no grand announcement. Dhoni chose his own way. Through a social media post, the former India captain shared a collection of photographs from his cricketing journey, with Mukesh's iconic song "Main Pal Do Pal Ka Shair Hoon" playing in the background. As a captain, Dhoni led India in 60 Tests, winning 27, losing 18 and drawing 15. In T20Is, he captained the side in 72 matches, winning 41. Across his international career, Dhoni scored 10,773 runs in 350 ODIs and 4,876 runs in 90 Tests. He also represented India in 98 T20Is. Behind the stumps, he collected 829 international dismissals, underlining his place among the greatest wicketkeeper-batters the game has produced. His final international appearance came in the 2019 ODI World Cup semi-final against New Zealand. More than a year later, on India's Independence Day, Dhoni decided that his journey in international cricket had reached its final chapter. Retirement, however, did not mean goodbye to cricket.
Emraan Hashmi returns as Shivam Pandit on the big screen, and his fans are overwhelmed, enjoying his big comeback at the box office. Awarapan 2, the direct sequel to the 2007 cult Awarapan released in cinemas today, and it has reignited the Hashmi mania in cinemas. Ever since the early morning shows, the buzz and response for the sequel have been strong and encouraging. Despite Mohit Suri not returning as the director and a direct clash with Sunny Deol's Batwara 1947, Awarapan 2 is building on strong word of mouth. Fans have shared their thoughts about the film on social media right after the first show ended, welcoming Emraan Hashmi's grand return in his A-game. A powerful and emotional cinematic experience! The story, performances, music, and overall atmosphere make Awarapan 2 a deeply engaging watch. A perfect blend of emotion, action, and intensity. Directed by Nitin Kakkar, produced by Vishesh Bhatt under his banner, Vishesh Films, Awarapan 2 marks the return of Emraan as Shivam Pandit, with Disha Patani opposite him as the female lead. The movie also stars Shabana Azmi, Puran Gabbi, Suvinder Vicky, and Vijayant Kohl in key roles. The movie was released in cinemas on August 14, 2026, clashing directly with Sunny Deol's Batwara 1947. Interestingly, in 2007, Awarapan also clashed with Sunny Deol's Apne and Himesh Reshammiya's Aap Kaa Surroor: The Movie.
