मिस इंडिया के फाइनल में पहुंची जौनपुर की बेटी
जौनपुर की दीक्षा सिंह फेमिना मिस इंडिया-2015 के फाइनल राउंड में अपनी जगह बना चुकी हैं। 28 मार्च को इसका फाइनल होगा। दीक्षा आज जिस मुकाम पर हैं उसके पीछे कहीं न कहीं उनके पिता जितेंद्र सिंह का संघर्ष है। जितेंद्र ने बताया कि साल 1985 में उनकी आर्थिक स्थिति बहुत खराब थी। 500 रुपए की नौकरी के लिए वह जौनपुर से मुंबई चले गए। इस दौरान गांव में पैसे भेजने के लिए उन्हें भूखे ही सोना पड़ता था। काफी मेहनत के बाद उन्हें सफलता मिली और गोवा में अपना बिजनेस शुरू किया।
दीक्षा सिंह ने जौनपुर के बक्शा छितौनी गांव से क्लास तीन तक की पढ़ाई पूरी की। इसके बाद वह अपने पिता के साथ मुंबई और फिर गोवा शिफ्ट हो गईं। इस समय वह बीए सेकेंड ईयर की पढ़ाई कर रही हैं। वहीं, उनके पिता जितेंद्र सिंह का गोवा में अपना बिजनेस है। वहां उनकी 20 से ऊपर गाड़ियां चलती हैं। राजस्थान के कोटा शहर में भी उनका अपना बिजनेस है।
पेपर में विज्ञापन देखकर ऑडिशन देने पहुंची
dainikbhaskar.com की टीम से बातचीत में जितेंद्र सिंह ने बताया कि दीक्षा ने फेमिना मिस इंडिया के ऑडिशन का विज्ञापन पेपर में देखा था। इसके बाद वह अपनी बहन के साथ ऑडिशन देने पहुंच गई। इसके पहले उसने कभी मॉडलिंग नहीं की थी। इसके बावजूद वहां उसका परफॉर्मेंस बहुत अच्छा रहा और वह सिलेक्ट हो गई।
गरीबी में बीता बचपन
जितेंद्र ने बताया कि उनका बचपन काफी गरीबी में बीता है। उनके पिता चंद्रभान सिंह साधारण किसान हैं। ग्रेजुएशन करने के बाद घर की आर्थिक तंगी को देखते हुए वह नौकरी करने मुंबई चले गए। इस दौरान उन्हें 500 रुपए की नौकरी मिली। साल 1996 में वह गोवा आ गए और बिड़ला ग्रुप के लिए काम करने लगे। इसके बाद साल 2004 में उन्होंने अपना बिजनेस शुरू कर लिया।
शाहरुख की फैन है दीक्षा
जितेंद्र सिंह ने बताया कि शाहरूख खान की फैन दीक्षा को चिकन और वेजिटेरियन कबाब बहुत पसंद है। इसके साथ ही उसे पेंटिंग बनाने का भी बहुत शौक है। उन्होंने बताया कि मिस इंडिया प्रतियोगिता के लिए उसे एक लाख 40 हजार का कॉस्ट्यूम खरीद कर दिया। उसकी सफलता में मां अंजलि सिंह का भी काफी योगदान है। उनका मानना है कि सपनों को पूरा करने के लिए संघर्ष की जरूरत होती है।

Bangladesh Leave the World Cup, INDIA Enters in the Semis
In their fifth World Cup, Bangladesh made their first knockout game.
They have had some success in the past, getting through to the “Super 8s” in the ridiculously long winded 2007 tournament. However, this is the first time the Tigers of Bangladesh have played in a World Cup game that was winner takes all. There is an argument to be make about this being the biggest game in their history, it is certainly the most important they have played since they were granted Test status back in 2000.
In the build up to this game, the Bangladesh players were keen to point out that they were under no pressure. No one gave them a chance and as a result they were laid back about the game. "The group stage was more important for us because we knew that we have to go through because back home the people are expecting we can beat some bigger sides," Mashrafe Mortaza told the media. "That was more pressure, I think. For [this game], the boys are very relaxed.”
AFPIn the build up to this game, the Bangladesh players were keen to point out that they were under no pressure.
The match began in the way that we would have expected. India’s openers put together a decent opening stand, finding the boundary but also rotating the strike. While there were no real drama, the Bangladesh bowlers kept it reasonably tight. There was never a point during the first 30 overs of the Indian innings where you thought the current World Champions were running away with things. Certainly when Shakib-al-Hasan spun one past the edge of Shikhar Dhawan’s bat to have him stumped, there was a feeling that Bangladesh were in this game.
When Virat Kohli departed in the next over the game was very much in the balance, before this game he was averaging 124 against these opponents. When Ajinkya Rahane was out trying to loft the ball over cover for a scratchy 19, Bangladesh were a couple of wicket taking deliveries away from taking control of the match. Taskin Ahmed was consistently finding his yorker length, Rubel Hossain was generating decent pace, Shakib was keeping it tight.
When the second set of drinks were taken India were 132-3 and losing their way. Mortaza brought himself back on to bowl, and has he has so often in this World Cup he served up a couple of half volleys as his creaky knees got warmed up. As against England, his second over of the spell was much better, and second ball swung back into Suresh Raina striking him on the pads. An appeal was turned down and on review it was shown to be pitching marginally outside leg stump.
If seemed as if Bangladesh felt that with that millimetre of difference, their chances in this match had gone. The fielding got ragged; the bowling was not as accurate. The Indians had executed their game plan perfectly. They had two set batsmen going into the death overs and wickets in hand so that they could attack.
Bangladesh were further aggrieved when Rohit Sharma, on 90, was adjusted caught off a delivery the umpires decided was full toss above waist height, and therefore a no-ball. But by then, their chances restricting India to a total that they could chase was gone. Rohit made another 47 runs, but even if he had been dismissed, he had done his job.
Bangladesh were set the task of chasing 303 against a bowling attack that had taken all 60 wickets in six games. In previous tournaments, it has been the Indian batting that has impressed; in this World Cup, it has been the seam bowling of Mohammad Shami, Umesh Yadav and Mohit Sharma that have been turning heads. By the end of this game they had made that 70 wickets out of 70, a seventh win and a seventh time their opponents were all out.
Bangladesh started well enough, with Tamim Iqbal hitting Shami for three fours in an over to get him going. The issue was always going to be keeping up with the rate while keeping wickets intact. Right from the start it was clear that doing both was too much to expect from the Tigers. They were dismissed for 193, 110 runs short of a target that was always beyond them.
As they leave the World Cup, this Bangladesh side will do so with a huge number of positives. Taskin Ahmed has been a revelation and has blossomed on the biggest stage. Mahmudullah’s back-to-back hundreds were innings of maturity and class. Rubel Hossain has managed to back up his decent form over the last 18 months with spells of pace and aggression in this tournament. Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib had decent returns that you would expect from Bangladesh’s best two players.
For the first time in a long time, Bangladesh will walk away without their pride in tatters and their place at the Full Member table not up for debate.
As things stand Bangladesh will be fighting it out with Zimbabwe and the top Associates to make the next World Cup. On this showing, they are more deserving of a place than others in the Full Member club, But the way the ranking system works, it is unlikely they will move into the top eight ahead of the 2018 qualification cut off. If they were to fail to make the next World Cup, the tournament would be poorer without them.

South Africa Removes Chokers Tag : World Cup 2015
In a reversal of character, Sri Lanka played the first quarterfinal of the 2015 ICC World Cup as if they were the ones that were under the burden of never having won a knockout match in a World Cup.
The experience of being five-time finalists in ICC World events (2 WorldT20s and 3 ODI World Cups) was laid to waste by tentative batting, muddled thinking and a tight bowling performance by South Africa. What was expected to be a close match turned into a laugher.
Winning the toss and batting was supposed to be the perfect template for Sri Lanka to put pressure on South Africa, who have buried teams when they have batted first. But in a sign of things to come, Kusal Perera walked out alongside Tillakaratne Dilshan instead of Lahiru Thirimanne.
AFPAB de Villiers and De Kock appeal during the match.
Kusal was all at sea against the swing and pace of Dale Steyn and Kyle Abbott. He swung, he missed. He swung again, and he edged. Like a punch-drunk prize fighter, he kept swinging away and was finally put out of his misery by Abbott.
It raises the question: Why was Thirimanne, who had been doing a terrific job opening for Sri Lanka, pushed down the order to make way for a clearly off-colour Kusal? May be Sri Lanka thought they would surprise South Africa but all they ended up doing was hand the early advantage to their opposition.
Once Steyn removed Dilshan with a peach, the Sri Lankan innings that was stuck in neutral shifted into reverse despite the best efforts of Thirimanne. Kumar Sangakkara, coming off four consecutive hundreds, batted like he had never held a bat before. It took him 16 deliveries to get off the mark, his second run came off the 23rd delivery he faced, and he was on 5 off 28, 15 off 51 and 17 off 55. Any initiative that Thirimanne was trying to wrest on the other end was sucked up by Sangakkara. The pressure of scoring for two batsmen eventually told on Thirimanne, who lobbed a catch back to Imran Tahir.
Then, the innings went in to a free fall. Mahela Jayawardene, another Sri Lankan legend retiring from the game, struggled to get the ball off the square. For someone brought up on the subcontinental tracks playing endless array of spinners, Mahela could not pick Imran Tahir's variations. In a frustrated attempt to attack the leggie, he only found short midwicket.
Perhaps, the middle order was rusty from a lack of game time, but Sri Lanka truly did not look like a team that was going to amount any sort of challenge. Captain Angelo Mathews fell, in the face of mounting pressure of dot balls, and Sangakkara only chanced his arm – albeit not for long – well after the horse had bolted.
A score of just 133 was going to be too easy for a side like South Africa, even with its history of choking in the big moments, to screw up. And Sri Lanka, once again, this time with the ball in hand, shot themselves in the foot.
One doesn't have to look any further than the 19 extras that Sri Lanka doled out in defense of a minuscule total, in just 18 overs. Malinga was erratic, when he wasn't bowling no balls, the “mystery” debutant Tharindu Kaushal will stay a mystery. Rest of the bowlers just made up the numbers.
People define a “choke” as stumbling at the threshold of success. It's snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. After an ordinary start to the World Cup, Sri Lanka were getting their game in order. South Africa had stuttered through their campaign losing big to India and Pakistan, and dominating only when they batted first. So, this was a perfect opportunity for Sri Lanka. But they stumbled. The choke's on them.

AB de Villiers breaks record of fastest ODI 100; reaches landmark in 31 balls
South Africa skipper AB de Villiers brought up the fastest One-Day International (ODI) century as he reached the three-figure mark in 31 balls against West Indies at the New Wanderers in the second ODI match on Sunday. He went past New Zealander Corey Anderson’s record of a century in 36 balls which was set on January 1 last year. In doing so, South Africa also went past their previous record total of 438 runs against Australia at the same venue, nine years back as they posted 439 runs in the opening innings.
Considered to be one of the best batsmen in modern-day cricket, AB de Villiers smashed eight boundaries and 11 sixes to reach the landmark. Earlier in the day, he also broke the ODI record for the fastest 50 as he brought up the landmark in 16 balls, overhauling Sanath Jayasuriya’s effort of 17-ball half-century. There are chants of ‘AB AB’ all over the stadium. Hashim Amla also brought up his 150.
The series is set to be the last competitive cricket the two sides will be playing ahead of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 to be hosted in Australia and New Zealand. While the form of key players will bring good news for south Africa, West Indies will continue to get demoralised by the kind of hammering they have been dished out at the hands of the South Africans. Bizarre selection has already resulted in a lot of animosity for the west Indies ever since the Clive Lloyd-led panel decided to drop key senior players Kieron Pollard and Dwayne Bravo from the world Cup squad. The AB De Villiers treatment on Sunday is only going to further deteriorate their morale.
