Baba Ramdev
Yoga guru Swami Ramdev initiated complacent Indians into yoga by exhorting them to rub fingernails and then proceeded to sell everything from toothpaste to food products to clothes to his followers. Dressed in his trademark saffron loincloth, the Baba is had led his Patanjali brand into FMCG and healthcare products. And now he's launched a special product for the Indian cricket team -- a show that ensures they never bowl a no-ball again.

In the second T20 international between India and England in Nagpur, leg-spinner Amit Mishra produced a perfect googly to hit the top of off stump and claim dangerman Ben Stokes. However, the third umpire revealed that Mishra's front foot had crossed the line. Stokes took advantage of the lucky break to almost win the match and seal the series for England. Stokes scored a 30-ball 38 and was involved in a 52-run partnership with Joe Root before Ashish Nehra took the all-rounder's scalp in the 17th over. Had it not been for Nehra and Jasprit Bumrah, India wouldn't have won the match and levelled the three-match series 1-1.
