Virat Kohli and Alok Nath
Welcome back to Take It Sportingly, your weekly dose of all sporting action. Today we take a look at Lasith Malinga bidding adieu to ODI cricket, Virat Kohli clearing the air on any rift with Rohit Sharma, how much does Virat Kohli earn per Instagram post and some football action featuring MS Dhoni.
1 - Slinga Malinga finally bid farewell to ODI cricket. The king of Yorkers highest wicket-taker for Sri Lanka behind Muralitharan and Chaminda Vaas. Well, batsmen can now stretch their legs a bit as there won't be any of those toe-crushing Yorkers coming their way. We will definitely miss those golden noodles in ODI cricket

2 - Virat Kohli has finally come out and cleared the air on his rift with Rohit Sharma... frankly speaking for the last one week all news channels were playing out a 'saas-bahu' serial on their channels. Yeh dekho Rohit Sharma ne unfollow kiya Virat Kohli ki Patni Anushka Sharma ko! Virat Kohli ki patni Anushka Sharma ko Instagram pe dilasa dene pohoche 2 Nate cricketer. KL Rahul aur Yuzvendra Chahal! Anushka Sharma me nahi peheni Ritika Sajdeh ki di hui Saadi!
But now Virat Kohli came out and told the reporters that all these are rumours and Team India mein jaisa bhai chaara hai woh kahi dekhne nahi milega... He made it show that the Indian team is like the plot of a Sooraj Barjatya movie where the whole family is filled with only love and affection for each other. We wonder if it was indeed a barjatya film. Would Ravi Shastri play Alok Nath.... and Virat Kohli be Mohnish Behl?...
3 - Moving on! According to a survey on a website called HopperQ! Virat Kohli earns 1.35 crore rupees for every brand post on Instagram... We wonder if Kabir Singh would have earned so much money for a post. Would Preeti's father have said no to Kabir's proposal? This is what Virat Kohli would have said to Preethi's father. No sir, I do not earn 2 Lakhs a month. I sir, earn 1.35 crore for each Instagram post, and if you give Preethi's hand to me, she will also feature in my Instagram posts and she may even become an influencer herself. Think about it!
4 - Our very own Army man Dhoni is going to be deployed with his battalion in the coming few days. But the cricketer was seen taking a break and playing some football with some of his friends from Bollywood in Juhu... Arjun Kapoor, Aditya Seal, Bunty Walia were seen literally shaking a leg with the World Cup-winning captain!
That's all folks, see you next week, till then, don't forget to Take It Sportingly!
