n a life-changing moment, a barber from Bihar’s Madhubani district became a millionaire overnight thanks to his spot-on choice while making his fantasy team for the Indian Premier League clash between Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders. A popular sports fantasy-based platform, Dream11 has changed the lives of many. September 26 was Ashok Kumar’s day, a commoner from Bihar, who hit the jackpot.

“After the match, I came in the first position and won Rs one crore. The official call also came soon after. I was told that a sum of Rs 70 lakh would be credited into my account in the next two days. The money will be paid after the deduction of taxes. I couldn’t sleep that night,” Kumar, who has a barbershop at Nanaur Chowk in the Andharthandi block of Madhubani, was quoted as saying by the Indian Express.

Moeen Ali’s father Munir was taken aback after the all-rounder decided to hang his boots from Test cricket. It brought an end to a seven-year-long career that started back in June 2014 against Sri Lanka at the Lord’s Cricket Ground. The 34-year-old last played in the format in the fourth Test against India at the Kennington Oval in London earlier this month.

It was during the series against India itself when Moeen “felt like I was done”. Although he has retired from the purest format, Moeen will continue plying his trade for the Three Lions in ODI and T20I cricket. His father, in the meantime, reckoned that England cricket will strain to find a cricketer of Moeen’s class and said that his son has inspired the Asian community to play the sport.

Although Chennai Super Kings (CSK) owners and CEO have denied the news of their skipper MS Dhoni retiring anytime soon, the speculations have refused to die. To make matters worse the 40-year-old is not getting younger either and his hitting ability has waned over the years. But Dhoni is still, tactically, the best person going around in terms of leadership. And CSK might as well keep hi.
