Experts Advise One-Year Break for Jasprit Bumrah to Prevent Injuries Jasprit Bumrah, the star fast bowler, has once again been sidelined due to injury, raising concerns about his long-term fitness and workload management. Former Indian cricketer Karan Ghavri has urged the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and team management to grant Bumrah a prolonged break to ensure his full recovery. Ghavri emphasized that partial fitness should not be a reason to include him in matches, as it could lead to further injuries and disrupt team balance. Bumrah’s latest injury stems from a setback during India’s tour of England, leaving him unfit for the Test series against Sri Lanka. As a result, he missed the first two Tests, with Akib Nabi stepping in as his replacement. Ghavri, who played in two World Cups for India, highlighted that Bumrah’s frequent injuries are a result of being pushed into high-intensity matches before he is fully fit. He warned that such practices risk not only the player’s health but also the team’s performance. Ghavri suggested that Bumrah should be given a minimum of six months, or even a full year, of rest to recover completely. “Until he is 100% fit, he should not return to the team,” Ghavri stated in an interview with Mid-Day. He criticized the current approach of rushing players back into action, which he believes exacerbates their workload and leads to recurring injuries. “A player who is only 50-60% fit should not be part of the team. Otherwise, they risk getting injured again and disrupting the team’s balance,” he added. The former all-rounder also called for a reevaluation of Bumrah’s participation in all three formats of the game. Ghavri argued that playing Tests, ODIs, and T20s simultaneously is unsustainable for a fast bowler of Bumrah’s age and workload.#jasprit_bumrah #board_of_control_for_cricket_in_india #mid_day #akib_nabi #karun_gavri
Mashhoor Amrohi on Transforming into Nawab Shafiq for 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' Mashhoor Amrohi, the grandson of late filmmaker Kamal Amrohi, has shared insights about his role as Nawab Shafiq in Aditya Dhar’s film Dhurandhar: The Revenge. The movie, which has become a massive box office hit, is praised for its uncanny casting, particularly Amrohi’s portrayal of the character, which closely resembles Pakistan’s former prime minister Nawaz Sharif. Despite appearing in only two scenes, Amrohi’s performance has sparked widespread attention and debate. In an interview with Mid-Day, Amrohi revealed that many people initially believed his character was created using artificial intelligence. He expressed surprise at the reaction, stating that no one had expected the role to be played by him. “For me, the biggest compliment is that nobody believes it is me. Some are saying that it’s AI,” he said. Amrohi also mentioned the viral memes and online discussions surrounding his transformation, which have become a significant part of the film’s cultural impact. The film’s success is attributed to its meticulous casting and the effort required to portray Nawab Shafiq. Amrohi described the extensive makeup process, which included an eight-hour daily routine and a bodysuit designed to mimic the character’s physique. “We had to depict the same body weight, face, and aging,” he explained. The makeup artist, Preetisheel, worked intensively to achieve the desired look, with Amrohi spending over eight hours each day in the makeup chair for four consecutive days. He also revealed that the bodysuit included a “paunch” to replicate the character’s physicality. Amrohi noted that the initial makeup test did not meet the director’s expectations, leading to a more rigorous process.#aditya_dhar #nawaz_sharif #mashhoor_amrohi #nawab_shafiq #mid_day
