Reviewing Black Widow

 

I have always written about cricket and always mentioned that I am die – hard cricket fan but I have not mentioned that I am also a die – hard marvel fan. In September, Black Widow was released and I thought let’s review the movie.

I would say that it was a very nice ending to Natasha Romanoff’s character but there were some disappointments also. Like, in the starting it was shown that Dreykov the main villain of the movie and daughter was dead in a bomb blast which was planted by Black Widow but in the end, we see that her daughter is alive and is the taskmaster. The biggest disappointment for me was that Taskmaster was dead in the end of the movie means he was not dead but now he won’t come back. Losing a very excellent villain like Taskmaster is bad. I was excited for this movie just because of Taskmaster and when I saw the movie in that Taskmaster was involved in just three major scenes. There was just one fight of Taskmaster vs Black Widow and that too a short one. So, I just wanted to say that Taskmaster, an excellent villain with amazing superpowers, which we thought was villain in the movie was just involved in three scenes and he cannot come back also. So, a nice movie and a nice ending to Natasha Romanoff’s character and in this movie Black Widow’s sister was also seen and it was a nice ending to the Natasha Romanoff’s character and it was a one-time watch movie and a good movie.

Virat Kohli leaving captaincy ?

 

Virat Kohli is the captain of the Indian cricket team of all three  formats for 4 years. After Ajinkya Rahane led India to their 2^nd victory in Australia netizens started to say that Ajinkya Rahane should become India’s all - time captain of tests and after the England test series rumors spread that Virat Kohli may leave the captaincy but after one day only a BCCI person confirmed that Virat Kohli is not leaving the captaincy and it will be his own decision of leaving the captaincy. But after some weeks Virat Kohli on his own confirmed that he will be leaving the T20I captaincy after the T20 World Cup. He said that by leaving the T20I captaincy his workload would be less. After some days, just after the first match of IPL he also confirmed that after this year’s IPL he will quit the captaincy of RCB. Most likely, Rohit Sharma will take over the captaincy of T20I’s from Virat Kohli. He may want to focus more on his batting he has not crossed the three – figure mark for almost 2 years. BCCI said that the contenders for the vice – captain for the T20I vice – captaincy are KL Rahul, Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant.
