Published

on

Dubai Capitals are on the ascent having conquered three matches in succession while recording the highest run chase 207-2 against the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in DP World ILT20 history .

Aside from the brilliant partnership between the heavy hitters namely Gulbadin Naib (Player of the Match scoring 80 out of 47 balls) and Shai Hope (not out with a total score of 74 from 53 balls), Dubai Capitals have now reinforced themselves as the quickest shift on the points table while looking ahead to secure the title at the third edition of ILT20.

The most talked about moment in the match was the 135 run, second wicket partnership between Shai Hope and Gulbadin Naib that set up the run chase for the Capitals.

Dubai Capitals member Shai Hope who was the leading chaser alongside Gulbadin Naib was all happy to share progress , he shared, “I always tell the guys in the dressing room to try not to fight that white line too often. Actually, hit the ball where they want you to hit. Try to get some twos. If you hit it well enough, you get a four, maybe a six in between.”

Sharing a brilliant chemistry with Gulbadin Naib and commenting on Naib’s form Shai Hope shares, “Gulbadin obviously had hold on that partnership pretty well in the middle which made the chase a lot easier. He got a lovely 80 in the tournament, so it’s good to see his form continuing and understanding the situation very well. We were communicating very, very well about what was required for the chase.”

Talking about tournament quality and retaining the Green Belt of the tournament, ” Someone overtook me a couple days ago, but yeah, it’s great to have my greenbelt back.”

Talking about the players competing at the current campaign of ILT20 and winning back-to-back games with Dubai Capitals, Shai shares, “There’s so many international high calibre players here and they also have some great UAE players as well. So, it’s a massive tournament in terms of skill level. It’s great to see Dubai Capitals on a bounce. Hopefully we can continue this for the next few games and make it to the playoffs.”

The Dubai Capitals will look to extend their winning streak against the Sharjah Warriorz on January 28 in what promises to be an exciting encounter. The match will be broadcast live starting at 8:00 PM IST.

Salman Khan has never been one to hold back, and at a recent event in Dubai, he added his signature dose of humour to the oft-debated topic of nepotism in Bollywood. The superstar, fondly known as Sallubhai, was in town to launch his nephew Ayaan Agnihotri’s debut song, “Universal Laws”, and in true Salman style, he had the audience in splits with his witty remark.

As Dubai’s DJ Bliss – who hosted the event – praised the Khan family for their unwavering support for Ayaan, Salman quipped, “That’s what nepotism is!” His playful jab left everyone in the room in splits.

And as the crowd cheered, Salman officially launched the song, marking Ayaan’s much-anticipated entry into the music world.

A Star-Studded Affair

The event turned into a Bollywood reunion, with stars like Arbaaz Khan, Sohail Khan, Neha Dhupia, Angad Bedi, and other celebrities coming together to celebrate Ayaan’s big moment.

During his speech, Salman highlighted that Ayaan, the son of Atul Agnihotri and Alvira Khan Agnihotri (Salman’s sister), hails from a family of seasoned film producers. He also mentioned that Ayaan’s cousin, Alizeh Agnihotri, who recently made her Bollywood debut, shares the same film-driven lineage.

Ayaan and Salman’s Previous Collaboration

This isn’t the first time the uncle-nephew duo has joined forces. Salman and Ayaan previously worked together on the track, “You Are Mine”, where the young artist showcased his rap skills alongside the Bollywood megastar. The song, composed by Vishal Mishra, became a talking point among fans.

Salman & Sanjay Dutt Spotted in Saudi Arabia

Meanwhile, Salman is keeping busy with multiple projects. A recent video circulating on social media showed him and actor Sanjay Dutt filming on the streets of Saudi Arabia. The clip, shared by an X user, captured the two actors casually chatting with crew members.

The buzz is that Salman and Sanjay are working on a cameo appearance in the Bollywood remake of the 2021 Argentine film Seven Dogs. While details remain under wraps, fans are excited to see the duo share screen space again.
