2 DHRUV TIMES 02.06.20 ALL INDIA EDITION The editor’s music pick: My current favorite song is ‘Travelling Light’ by Eric Clapton. This song was released in the year 1976. It was originally sung by J.J Cale, the famous blues artist, but eventually Eric Clapton also sang it. It’s a really peaceful song, full of smiles and cheer. So, a 5/5 for this song! Listen to that song now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Quz77-elodA
The editor’s movie pick: My current favorite movie is ‘Dumbo’, starring Colin Farrell, Danny DeVito and Michael Reaton. This movie was first released in 1941 in an animated version. Now, this movie is the real- life projection one, released in 2019. Dumbo, an elephant grows long ears out of which he can suddenly fly. The circus hires the elephant because they could make profits. But, because of Dumbo’s nervousness, he couldn’t fly? Can Dumbo fly in the next circus? Or will it be another nervous wreck? Open your TV and see that movie now!

Jasprit Bumrah reveals why he loves bowling with Duke ball and the secret of his short run-up
The swing of a cricket ball is essential for every pacer. Be it if conditions are supportive or not; if a bowler is getting a decent amount of swing, he can trouble the batsmen. But there are different kinds of balls used in international cricket. For instance, Kookaburra balls are used in all limited-overs cricket. When it comes to Test cricket, countries like England, Ireland and West Indies use Dukes balls, while India uses SG.
In the past, many seamers have dropped their opinions regarding the best suitable balls in the red-ball format. Some have picked Dukes while some have gone for Kookaburra. Following the trend, India’s frontline speedster Jasprit Bumrah has also given his thoughts regarding which cricket ball brings him in the comfort position.
Bumrah said he feels most comfortable bowling with the Dukes ball manufactured in England compared to India made SG. During a chat for ICC podcast featuring internationals Ian Bishop and Shaun Pollock, Bumrah spoke on a lot of issues, including how he developed an outswinger (inswinger for left-handers).

Cologne 2-4 RB Leipzig: Timo Werner on target as visitors move back up to third
Timo Werner was on target as RB Leipzig reclaimed third in the Bundesliga with an entertaining 4-2 win over Cologne at the RheinEnergieStadion on Monday night.
In the first German top-flight game to be played in the month of June for 25 years, Jhon Cordoba notched his 12th league goal of the season to give Cologne the perfect start (7), but the Colombian was off receiving treatment when Patrik Schick rose to head Leipzig level (20).
Cordoba did not recover, and Julian Nagelsmann's side completed the turnaround seven minutes before the break as Christopher Nkunku collected Konrad Laimer's pass.
In a breathless start to the second period, Werner fired home his 25th Bundesliga goal of the season (50) before substitute Anthony Modeste reduced the arrears (55) only for Dani Olmo to immediately restore Leipzig's two-goal cushion (57) which they never relinquished.

Lionel Messi's Barcelona exit clause, that could have led to him leaving for free, expires
Lionel Messi's Barcelona exit clause, which could have seen him leave the Nou Camp for free this summer, has expired.
The clause - part of the four-year deal that the Argentina star signed in 2017 - expired on Saturday May 30, and would have allowed him to leave for another club for no transfer fee if he had wished.
However, he has been intent on staying at the club at least until the end of his contract next summer, despite a tumultuous season that has involved rows with members of the club's hierarchy.
Barca's board have always maintained their belief the 32- year-old would not only stay past his current deal but also, according to president Josep Maria Bartomeu, for at least another five years.
