SPORTS Ashwin to Bowl Leg Spin in IPL and more... Team India’s wrist spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal have been instrumental in Virat Kohli and boys’ rise to the top of the tables in limited-overs cricket in the last year. This has prompted Test spin spearhead R Ashwin to work on bowling leg-spin. The Kings XI Punjab spinner will put this practice to test during the upcoming Indian Premier League. "This is part of my plan going into the IPL. I am just trying to build my armoury. I used to bowl good legbreaks with my offspin action when I was playing league cricket in Chennai,” he said. ENTERTAINMENT Post Padmaavat, Kangana Ranaut's Manikarnika Faces Protests by Brahmin Group While the furore over Padmaavat has scarcely died down, another period drama about another iconic Indian queen, has now come under fire. Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, based on Lakshmi Bai, the 19th Century queen and freedom fighter, stars Kangana Ranaut as the real-life queen and a Brahmin outfit Sarva Brahman Mahasabha demanded the makers to share complete details of the film's story to rule out any tampering with facts. While the film is expected to release during the end of the year, the group has taken offence at reports that Ranaut's character will be shown romantically involved with a British officer, and the Mahasabha's leaders have promised to disrupt the film's shooting in Rajasthan if the "offensive portions" are not removed. The makers of the film, however, have issued a statement clarifying that there's nothing objectionable in the film.
