New Delhi, Nov 21: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who is currently hosting the knowledge-based reality show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati 15', was at a loss of words after hearing 11-year-old boy's reason to time travel.

In the juniors special segment of KBC, 11-year-old Akshay Anand from Darbhanga, Bihar, grabbed his place on the hot seat.

During the conversation, the little contestant said: "I want to tell you something. Regarding your recent movie 'Brahmastra'. I loved it. Your acting and hairstyle in the movie were amazing. I was really surprised to see the many 'astras' (weapons). 'Vanarastra', Nandiastra', 'Agniastra'. I really loved it."

Amitabh: "Which was your favourite 'astra'?"

Contestant: "If l'had to pick an 'astra' it'd be time travel. Actually, my mom passed away a few days ago. She had cancer and was undergoing treatment. She lived in Varanasi so she could avail of the treatment. I used to live in Darbhanga is with my dad. I'd use time travel to meet my mother."

We Were Fortunate To Get Virat Kohli's Wicket On That Delivery, Says William O'Rourke

by Pabitra Mohan Senapaty

Bengaluru, Oct 18: New Zealand pacer William O'Rourke feels that he was fortunate to take Virat Kohli's dismissal on the ball which was going down the leg in the first Test against India on Thursday.

Kohli departed on a nine-ball duck as he edged the ball which was taken by Glenn Phillips at the leg gully on the second day in Bengaluru. India had an abysmal outing in the first innings under overcast conditions as they were bowled out for just 46 runs, their lowest-ever Test score at home and their third-lowest in history.

"I think just with my angle back in, having that leg gully in place was meant to bring him into play. It was obviously an attacking option for us. We were fortunate to get the wicket. I don’t think that was exactly the delivery I intended, but it worked and I got his wicket, so I’m happy about it," O'Rourke told JioCinema.

The weather conditions and moisture on the pitch supported Kiwi seamers and O'Rourke said he felt like playing at home. "Very similar to the conditions back home. I think we weren't expecting too much assistance in the morning. We were probably going to bat as well if we won the toss. So, it was nice to see the ball nipping around, and I could just run in and do my thing," the pacer said.

"I think we were excellent in the field today. A few diving chances and I think that's what we pride ourselves on. We probably haven't been as good as we wanted to be in the last few Tests. So, coming out here and putting on a show like that was really special," he added.

Playing for the first time in India, O'Rourke returned with the figures of 4-22 in his 12 overs and credited the Sri Lanka series for getting a sense of the subcontinental conditions.

"It’s my first time playing in the subcontinent so it’s obviously a little bit different from back home, but playing those first two Tests in Sri Lanka really helped prepare me to come out here and just focus on doing my own thing," he said.

After dismissing India for a dismal total, the visitors ended day two on 180 for 3, leading by 134 runs. Devon Conway was the standout for the visitors, scoring 91 runs, while Will Young contributed 33. Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, and Ravindra Jadeja bagged one scalp each but India face an uphill task to recover from their nightmare start in the series opener.
