Since <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Virat+Kohli+&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Virat Kohli </a>was given the role of being the full time skipper of Team India, India just lost a match against <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=England&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">England</a> and that to with a nail biting finish. However, regardless of the loss, Kohli continued to make new records. 
 
Kohli scored 55 runs against England and that made him the fastest batsman to score first 1000 runs as <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=ODI&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">ODI</a> skipper both, achieved in 17 innings. 
 
He broke the earlier record set by South Africa's <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=AB+deVilliers+&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">AB deVilliers </a>which was achieved in 18 innings. 
 
Also, Virat created another record as he broke <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Sourav+Ganguly&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Sourav </a><a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Sourav+Ganguly&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Ganguly</a>'s record of reaching 1000 runs in 22 innings. 
 He is the seventh Indian batsman to reach this landmark. Before Kohli the other Indian ODI skippers who achieved this feat are <keyword id="1229" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kapil-Dev">Kapil Dev</keyword>, <keyword id="6354267" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sachin-Tendulkar">Sachin Tendulkar</keyword>, <keyword id="2727" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rahul-Dravid">Rahul Dravid</keyword>, <keyword id="6359039" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sourav-Ganguly">Sourav Ganguly</keyword>, <keyword id="6463421" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mohammad-Azharuddin">Mohammad Azharuddin</keyword> and Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Virat Kohli becomes the fastest batsman to reach 1000 runs as ODI skipper

It was in May last year that the makers of <keyword id="8402" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Azhar">Azhar</keyword>, the biopic on cricketer <keyword id="6463421" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Mohammad-Azharuddin">Mohammad Azharuddin</keyword>, had unveiled the teaser of the look, along with the first look of <keyword id="1684" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Emraan-Hashmi">Emraan Hashmi</keyword> playing the titular role. 
 
Ever since then, barring a few updates here and a few appearances there, this movie has been pretty much unheard of, but now that the release date is nearing, the makers have decided to take on the promotions in full swing, and how. 
 Yesterday, the official Twitter handle of the movie unveiled the first look of two characters from the movie. While one was that of cricketer-turned-commentator Ravi Shastri, played by Bigg Boss fame <keyword id="272039" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Gautam-Gulati">Gautam Gulati</keyword>, the other one is that of Meera, the lawyer fighting the case against Azhar, played by <keyword id="1037" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Lara-Dutta">Lara Dutta</keyword>. 
 
Here is how the looks were unveiled. 
 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">

We have to say that Gautam Gulati looks every bit like Ravi Shastri in his heydays, especially the moustache. As for Lara, who looks tough and determined as Meera,

Lara Dutta is reported to have lived this character even off-screen, talking as a lawyer even as the camera wasn’t rolling. For the preparation of this role, Lara studied the whole case history and took help from one of her lawyer friends to observe the way lawyers speak. 
 
The movie is highly awaited, one because we haven’t seen Hashmi on the screen in the longest time, and two, because it would tell us the story of what went wrong with the star cricketer who was banned from playing the sport he loved and lived.

While Anushka prefers to call Virat ‘just a friend,’ the <keyword id="1520" type="POSITION" weightage="60" keywordseo="Cricketer">cricketer</keyword> proves there’s more to it by coming to her rescue on the recent lip surgery issue. Will they <keyword id="15263" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Seal">seal</keyword> this relationship with matrimony? Let’s wait and watch.

4. <keyword id="12953" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Chitrangada-Singh">Chitrangada Singh</keyword> &amp; <keyword id="6327" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Jyoti-Randhawa">Jyoti Randhawa</keyword> Before she made it to the silver screen, Chitrangada was married to <keyword id="5573" type="POSITION" weightage="40" keywordseo="Golfer">golfer</keyword> Jyoti Randhawa and the couple had a son named Zorawar Randhawa.

They were seeing each other for eight long years and even marriage was on the cards. But things seem to have changed now between these two. Isha and Zaheer haven’t disclosed the reason behind the split but sources claim that it was ‘distance’ that axed this relationship. 
 
6. <keyword id="598" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Deepika-Padukone">Deepika Padukone</keyword> and <keyword id="351" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Yuvraj-Singh">Yuvraj Singh</keyword> The lover boy of the cricket world had been the favourite of a couple of Bollywood beauties. First, he was in a relationship with <keyword id="6135" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Kim-Sharma">Kim Sharma</keyword> and then it was Deepika.

That hasn’t happened yet but the two are still a couple.

Dada was happily married to Donna and steered clear of any controversy that could link him to Bollywood actress Naghma. But Naghma went on record saying there was something more than friendship between the two. Of course, the two never ended up together but all the hullaballoo definitely took a toll on Saurav and his career.

By far, this has been the most successful Bolly-cricket union. She was at the peak of her career when the two got married. And she was so much in love with the handsome Mansoor that she converted to Islam without the least hassle. They had a happy married life that lasted over four decades. 
 
12. <keyword id="1813" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="neena-gupta">Neena Gupta</keyword> &amp; <keyword id="84393" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Vivian-Richards">Vivian Richards</keyword> He was already married, but she loved him.

With Rohit Sharma missing the three-Test series in South Africa due to a hamstring injury and Virat Kohli 'reportedly planning' to skip the three One-day Internationals due to personal reasons, it had given rise to speculation that all is not well in the team. In fact, former India captain Mohammad Azharuddin had fuelled speculation of a rift in the leadership group by tweeting yesterday, "Virat Kohli has informed that he's not available for the <keyword id="40478" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="odi" source="Orion">ODI</keyword> series &amp; Rohit Sharma is unavailable fr d upcoming test. There is no harm in taking a break but d timing has to be better. This just substantiates speculation abt d rift. Neither will be giving up d another form of cricket." However, Kohli said on Wednesday afternoon that he "never wanted to rest and was available for ODI selection," quashing rumours that he didn't want to play under Rohit Sharma in the three ODIs in South Africa. On his relationship with Rohit, Kohli said, "I have no problems with Rohit. I've been clarifying this for the last two years. I'm tired of it. Any action or communication from me will never be to demean the team. I'm committed to Indian cricket."

Virat Kohli says he is available for ODI selection, denies any rift with Rohit Sharma

NEW DELHI: BJP faces a tough test in Bihar, <keyword id="1575" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="Congress">Congress</keyword> stares at a saffron challenge in Maharashtra and regional outfits contend with turning pitches on 117 <keyword id="6355187" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="40" keywordseo="Lok-Sabha">Lok Sabha</keyword> seats across 11 states and one union territory where polling is due on Thursday. 
 
The 2014 Lok Sabha polls will be more than half over after elections to 347 seats are complete after the sixth phase of voting, with the 84, 91 and 41 seats left in the remaining phases. 
 
BJP and Congress are squaring off in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan and state bosses like Trinamool chief Mamata Banerjee, AIADMK's J Jayalalitha and NCP leader Sharad Pawar are also slugging it out with their rivals. 
 
This phase will settle the fate of political biggies like SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav and BJP leader Sushma Swaraj besides others like PDP’s Mehbooba Mufti, DMK's A Raja and Congress’s Mohammad Azharuddin. 
 
The political topography is a challenge to BJP and Congress which need to defend turfs while seeking fresh gains even as regional forces like SP, BSP, AIADMK and DMK look to do much the same, with the difference that some now see BJP as an unanticipated threat. 
 
All of 39 seats in Tamil Nadu and one seat of Puducherry will go to polls while elections will be over in major states like Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan. In Maharashtra the populous bell weather Mumbai-Thane-Kalyan belt will vote along with northern areas and Raigad. 
 The contests in Mumbai are keen, with Shiv Sena-BJP hoping to snatch seats from Congress-NCP riding on an anti-UPA wave and the diminished presence of <keyword id="6355257" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Raj-Thackeray">Raj Thackeray</keyword>'s MNS. 
 
 
 
 
Tamil Nadu is a fascinating mosaic, with front runner AIADMK losing some steam while DMK reportedly making a comeback of sorts and BJP’s unlikely alliance with DMDK, MDMK and PMK emerging as a force on its own. 
 In Bihar, a virtual eclipse of <keyword id="123462" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="40" keywordseo="Janata-Dal">Janata Dal</keyword> (U) poses problems for BJP with the fight appearing bi-polar in the five seats in Seemanchal and two that fall outside the region. There is a sizeable Muslim population in all seats and though BJP has been winning Araria, Purnea, Katihar and Bhagalpur, it now faces elections on its own. RJD boss Lalu Prasad and Congress seem to be back in the reckoning in the state. 
 
Mulayam Singh Yadav defends his base of Etah-Mainpuri-Etawah, areas where he must score to check a resurgent BJP with reports from 21 seats in western UP and Rohilkhand indicating gains for the saffronites. 
 
Though support for BSP is harder to gauge, SP’s main regional rival seems to be feeling the heat with religious polarisation post Muzaffarnagar riots making several contests primarily BJP versus SP affairs. 
 For BJP, the stakes continue to be high with its prime ministerial candidate <keyword id="6354477" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Narendra-Modi">Narendra Modi</keyword> campaigning hard, addressing rallies in Hardoi, Etah, Firozabad and Mathura on Monday hoping for significant gains. 
 
The Jat vote is a factor in just as Yadavs are expected to rally behind SP while Akbarpur has sent BSP chief Mayawati to Lok Saba twice, most recently in 2004. 
 
In Rajasthan, prestigious Jat-influenced seats like Alwar and Bharatpur are due to poll along with constituencies like Tonk, Dausa and Sawai-Madhopur. 
 
In Chhattisgarh, urbanising seats like Durg, Raipur and Bilaspur will be voting with Congress hoping to loosen BJP's seeming stranglehold. 
 In West Bengal, Abhijeet Mukherjee, son of President <keyword id="6359124" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Pranab-Mukherjee">Pranab Mukherjee</keyword>, is facing an uphill battle, with Murshidabad presenting the only bright spot for the party. 
 In Assam constituencies like Kokrajhar, that witnessed fierce rioting, and capital Guwahati are going to polls. In Madhya Pradesh, BJP veterans like Sumitra Mahajan (Indore) and Sushma Swaraj (Vidisha) will seek re-election besides Congress's Meenakshi Natarajan, seen to be close to <keyword id="5268" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Rahul-Gandhi">Rahul Gandhi</keyword>, from Mandsaur.
