BCCI avoided a costly Umran Malik mistake by using Mayank Yadav as pacer peppers speedguns on debut.

Suryakumar Yadav has labelled him the one with the X-Factor; Mayank Yadav is already well on his way to proving that that’s no empty boast from the captain: For more than five months since the end of April, Mayank Yadav didn’t play a single competitive fixture.

But what he had done for Lucknow Super Giants during his four appearances in IPL 2024 before a side strain cut his season short couldn’t be wished away easily. India’s Mayank Yadav bowls during the first Twenty20 cricket match between India and Bangladesh at the Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium in Gwalior on October 6, 2024.

The aura around Mayank was just beginning to grow when he was forced to sit out the rest of the tournament. It was a shattering blow to the young man, who had reason to believe he would be fast-tracked into international cricket. India had TO ALL OF YOU TO already allowed Umran Malik, the tearaway from Jammu & Kashmir.

they knew what he brought to the table. Once he was available for selection, it was a no-brainer that he would cut his teeth in international cricket in Gwalior in the first of three T20Is on Sunday. Mayank came with a lot of understandable hype, catalysed largely by his unmatched ability to generate express pace.

Worldwide, pace has been an irresistible magnet; in India, where unalloyed speed isn’t commonplace, Mayank was hot property, but the big question was whether he could marry it with control, whether he could resist the temptation to believe all the hype about him.

How did Mayank Yadav perform on his India debut?

In four overs at the brand new Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium, Mayank reiterated that he is a talent worth investing in. His first delivery, a loosener if you like, was measured at 142 kmph; his next clocked 146. His first over was a maiden, to Towhid Hridoy, and he took a wicket with his eighth ball, having former Bangladesh captain Mahmudullah caught at deep point.

After a first spell of 2-1-3-1 that straddled the Powerplay, Mayank went for 15 in his third over, which can happen to the most seasoned in the 20-over game. He returned to bowl the 19th, where he regathered focus and conceded only three. By the end of the night, he had figures of 4-1-21-1; only two other Indians had bowled a maiden in their first T20I appearance, Agarkar and Mayank’s teammate Arshdeep Singh. As far as first appearances go, this was far from shabby.

Mayank would certainly have entertained nerves going into his first India outing. It also goes without saying that he will concede plenty more runs in time to come, because such is the nature of the 20-over format and such is the lot of those who bowl really quickly – his fastest.

ball on Sunday was 149.9 kmph. But already in his brief representative career which translates to 33 matches at the senior level, he has shown that he has the heart, the temperament, the intelligence and the smarts, not to mention the skills, to be a long-term India prospect.

In Gwalior, Mayank showed that there is more to him than just searing pace. He found movement in his first over, the sixth of the innings, and he bowled more than one well-disguised slower delivery.

Even in this era of throwdown specialists and bowling machines, he was able to surprise Bangladesh’s batters with his additional pace. Suryakumar Yadav has labelled him the one with the X-Factor; Mayank is already well on his way to proving that that’s no empty boast from his first T20I captain.

Tiranga, code name Review of the motion picture: Parineeti Chopra delivers a punch in this formulaic action-thriller

Tiranga, code name Review of the motion picture: Parineeti Chopra delivers a punch in this formulaic action-thriller

Tiranga, code name Story: Khalid Omar, the mastermind behind the 2001 Parliament attack, is to be captured by special agent Durga (Parineeti Chopra). While working on the job, she falls for Dr. Mirza Ali (Harrdy Sandhu). Will she put her love for him before the mission, endangering it, or will she be able to carry out the objective?

Tiranga, code name Review: Ribhu Dasgupta’s Code Name: Tiranga, written and directed, centres on undercover operative Ismat/Durga, who marries Dr. Mirza Ali in order to carry out her intentions to kidnap Omar in Turkey. Will Dr. Mirza ever come to terms with her true identity? Will Durga be successful in finding Omar?

The solutions are all in this thrilling story. Parineeti Chopra previously acted in Ribhu’s psychological thriller The Girl on the Train, but this time around, she adopts an entirely different identity. Dasgupta did a good job directing the movie, but he lacked the literary skills needed to create a gripping thriller.

It’s energising to see Parineeti Chopra fight the bad guys with the sole purpose of defending the nation. The hand-to-hand battle scenes and the gunfights are both quite well done. It is clear that she is committed to creating a credible action avatar.

The plot is strongly supported by Punjabi singer and actor Harrdy Sandhu, who was most recently seen in Kabir Khan’s 83. Harrdy and Parineeti make a cute on-screen couple. Omar, played by Sharad Kelkar, the main adversary, tries too hard to seem credible, but the writing staff falls short. And like every other Muslim terrorist we’ve seen in a number of movies, his role is stereotyped. Even well-known actors like Rajit Kapur and Dibyendu Bhattacharya are underutilised.

The premise of this spy thriller is somewhat predictable from the outset, so action choreography deserves the majority of the praise. The storyline for the movie should have been better; instead, it reads like a mash-up of numerous previous action thrillers, such Ek Tha Tiger and Raazi. This one, however, lacked a compelling plot and a thoughtful screenplay that supported the action scenes.

By the time the film’s climax scenes arrive, Code Name: Tiranga, which runs for nearly two hours and 18 minutes, has left you a little disappointed. Because of Durga and Omar’s cat-and-mouse game, it is easy to foresee what will be delivered next in the movie, which also drags on for a long period. The story would have been more engaging if there had been a few more plot twists.
It is aesthetically appealing to see these chases and confrontations since they are expertly staged in the lanes of Turkey or Afghanistan. It’s a pleasure to observe Tribhuvan Babu Sadineni’s cinematography.

Overall, despite Parineeti’s misuse of intense speech, Code Name: Tiranga fails to give viewers the sensation they are hoping for. Up this formulaic action thriller, Parineeti turns in a strong performance despite the story’s lack of substance.

Tiranga is an action-thriller that follows a formulaic plot but stands out thanks to Parineeti Chopra’s strong performance. As a determined protagonist, Parineeti delivers a punch with her intense portrayal, adding depth to her character in this high-stakes narrative. The film, while predictable in terms of its storyline.

keeps the audience engaged with its fast-paced action sequences and emotional moments. Although it doesn’t offer much innovation in terms of its, Parineeti’s presence and commitment to her role elevate the film, making Tiranga an enjoyable watch for fans of action-packed dramas.
