How did dice meet?

The twins traveled the world and met them over their journey in running away from Kenzo--starting with America and meeting the Hollands!

I don't know the full order of everyone, but:

-Twins meet the Hollands, Glenn (Jaden's older brother) decides to join the twins because he was worried about them. They decide to do street performances. -They flew to India and met Ranji, who ends up becoming a father figure to the twins after he lost his first family of a wife and two kids to a car crash, and he felt joy for the first time seeing Glenn and the twins performing so he got attached to them very fast -Fiona and Quinn Tracy are siblings in Ireland who were acrobats fresh out of a job after a lion killed its trainer, so the twins saw them and were like "Oh two trans people who are great for street performances??? Adopted." -They met Oscar in Spain when they had a radio failure and he interrupted their show to fix it. After getting to know him, they decided to offer him a job as the groups' technician. He's heavily autistic and mute tho, so his mom demanded that he keep his cell on for texting. -They met Alana in France when Kokichi noticed her frowning in the middle of their show. He chased after her, and after finding her sitting on a swing, he learned that her grandma has alzheimer's so after putting her in a home Alana came under the care of DICE -Ira was a high class lady in Russia who caught DICE's show one day, and she was interested in the live and abandoned her riches to do excessively dangerous balancing acts. Big adrenaline junkie. -Ron was the only DICE member who pretty much tracked down the other group and BEGGED to join, because he was alerted by one of his fans that DICE had "Stolen his songs" for their performances. But he happened to be in a huge creative rut, and seeing the footage inspired him to make a dozen songs. Afraid to lose that inspiration, he begged to join and Kokichi agreed. -Noboru was the final member the twins in China, where he was tasked to killing a young girl and refused, so he fought his way out of the Assassin cult in China only to find the twins and helped. They learn after a hospital visit that he was their long lost sister, and he joined DICE as a body guard with his new adopted daughter, Haruko.

DICE then ran away to Japan after Kurochi cracked a serial killer's ciphers and got scared, which ended up with Kokichi having to take charge of the ship they illegally boarded after they hit a large obstacle and knocked out most of the crew. This earned both twins their Ultimate Titles as they were immediately scouted for HPA after that.

[ad_1] Vignesh Puthur in MI vs CSK Match, IPL 2025 (Image: BCCI/IPL) Why do we watch sport? Is it just for the larger-than-life figures like MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli? Or is it also for the beautiful, unexpected surprises that it can throw up? Viv Richards might have growled ‘One swallow doesn’t a summer make’ after Narendra Hirwani’s mindblowing 16-wicket debut in Chennai, but the fact remains that the Madhya Pradesh leg-spinner remains in our imagination because of that remarkable feat. Nearly 40 years on, it was the turn of another unknown to nearly upstage the titans at Chepauk. Before 11pm on Sunday night, the universal response to Vignesh Puthur’s name would have been: “Who?” No longer. In the space of 16 balls, Vignesh sent back Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shivam Dube and Deepak Hooda to have journalists and fans across the land scrambling for whatever information they could find. Gaikwad, Dhoni’s heir apparent, almost certainly didn’t know that he was undone by an opponent studying for his master’s degree in literature at PTM Government College in Perinthalmanna. An unremarkable town that no one visits, but one you usually pass through on the journey between Kochi and Kozhikode in the north, Perinthalmanna does boast a couple of state-of-the art hospitals. Not far from one of them, near the private bus stand, is where Sunil Kumar, Vignesh’s father, can be found parking his autorickshaw. KP Bindu, his mother, is a homemaker. Having learned the tricks of the trade from Vijayan, a local coach, Vignesh made his way through the age-group teams for Kerala before his career stalled in his early 20s. Though he was an afterthought buy for Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Riyadh auction, he has yet to play any format for the Kerala senior team, which lost the Ranji Trophy final to Vidarbha recently. But the MI scout at the Kerala Premier League saw something in his displays for Alleppey Ripples – he took only two wickets – that made him alert those higher up the food chain. India may be the land of spin, but it has seldom been the land of mystery when it comes to the turning ball. Bhagwat Chandrasekhar’s freakish qualities were more down to an arm withered by polio, and his height, than any Houdini-like tricks. And the great left-armers – Bishan Singh Bedi, and the two who couldn’t supplant him, Padmakar Shivalkar and Rajinder Goel – all bowled orthodox spin. Flight, loop and drift were their weapons, not back-of-the-hand googlies. Puthur and Surya Kumar Yadav during the match (Image: BCCI/IPL) Many domestic players make IPL squads without getting a game. Sachin Baby, Kerala’s captain, made his IPL debut as long ago as 2013, when Sachin Tendulkar was still playing. In all these years, he has made 19 appearances, the last of them in 2021. So, even though Vignesh was in the squad, he journeyed to MI’s preparatory camp after the Champions Trophy with almost no expectations. The goal was mostly to soak in the armosphere and learn as much as he could from the legends in the dressing room. It undoubtedly helped his cause that Mahela Jayawardene is back in the MI dugout as coach. A generation ago, Jayawardene’s guidance from the slip cordon played in huge role in Ajantha Mendis bamboozling India with 26 wickets in his debut Test series, not long after he had destroyed them in an Asia Cup final. Sri Lanka embraces the outliers, from Muttiah Muralitharan’s extraordinary wrist to Lasith Malinga’s coconut shys and Mendis’s carrom ball. The decision to bring in Vignesh as impact sub clearly had some Jayawardene influence behind it. But even he couldn’t have foreseen the impact the 24-year-old would have. Gaikwad is now a relative IPL veteran and won the Orange Cap in 2021. Dube chews up and spits out spinners, with his incredible reach allowing him to swat the ball into whichever stand he pleases. Hooda too is a monster hitter. Gaikwad and Dube were both caught on the straight boundary, with Vignesh unafraid to toss the ball up into the hitting zone. Hooda fell to a miscued sweep.

In those first 16 balls, there was only one gorgeous straight six from the unflustered Rachin Ravindra to upset Vignesh’s rhythm. Suryakumar Yadav took him off after that 12th over, bringing him back only for the 18th, by which time the game was in the balance. This time, Vignesh was undone by the young man 15 months his senior. Ravindra is already well on his way to becoming a great of the game, and his two sixes in a 15-run over killed the game. We don’t know what destiny has in store for Vignesh, but for now, he will still be seeing stars. After all, even Dhoni – Chepauk’s presiding deity – tapped him on the shoulder in appreciation at game’s end. The media in Kerala may still be referring to him as the Chinaman, but on Monday morning, Vignesh is very much the unassuming local lad who has put Perinthalmanna on the map. From KPL to IPL, the story of the 24-year-old left-arm wrist spinner for @mipaltan, #VigneshPuthur who made headlines in #CSKvsMI at the M. A Chidambaram Stadium last night.

PADMAKAR SHIVALKAR SIR - March 03 2025 Padmakar Shivalkar When Abhishek Bachchan bowls left arm spin and is called as Paddy in the movie Ghoomer, you could not but be reminded of Indian cricket's Paddy "Padmakar Shivalkar". I remember a trip to Chennai during 1995/96 and discussing Jimmy Adams with my cousin and when we mistakingly took Paddy for Padams, my uncle and his friend waded in saying there is only one Paddy and how he single handedly destroyed Tamil Nadu's Ranji ambitions in 1973 Finals. That was a great first impression about a great cricketer. But when I got to know more about him, it only turned out to be more and more impressive. A career spanning nearly 25 years and a cricketer retiring nearly at 50 is a stuff of the legends. So is the record 539 wickets in 124 matches. In this article, Makarand Waingankar offers us a lovely view to the world of Paddy Sir. He was unlucky to have a career coinciding with Bishen Singh Bedi but we are lucky to have this legendary cricketer as an inspiration for many. May you keep spinning a new generation of spinners with your inspiration, Paddy Sir.

Karun Nair Shines in Ranji Trophy Final with Crucial Knock

Karun Nair's performance in the recent Ranji Trophy final against Kerala stands as a testament to his enduring class and resilience. Representing Vidarbha, Nair played a pivotal role in stabilizing the team's innings after a precarious start.

Critical Innings: Coming in at a challenging moment with Vidarbha at 24/3, Nair showcased his experience and temperament. He formed a formidable partnership with Danish Malewar, adding 215 runs for the fourth wicket. Nair's composed knock of 86 runs was instrumental in steering Vidarbha to a more secure position.

Career Milestone: During this innings, Nair surpassed the significant milestone of 8,000 runs in First-Class cricket, underscoring his consistent contributions over the years.

Nair's Remarkable Season:

This performance is a continuation of what can be described as a career-best season for Nair:

Vijay Hazare Trophy Dominance: Earlier in the season, Nair exhibited exceptional form in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. He amassed 542 runs without being dismissed, setting a new world record for the most List A runs scored between dismissals. His sequence of scores included reflecting unparalleled consistency.

Transition to Vidarbha: After a distinguished tenure with Karnataka, Nair transitioned to Vidarbha in 2023. Interestingly, he had considered playing for Kerala—the team he faced in the final but eventually committed to Vidarbha. This move has rejuvenated his career, providing fresh opportunities and challenges.

Nair's affinity for Ranji Trophy finals is well-documented. In the 2014 -15 season, he played a monumental innings of 328 runs for Karnataka in the final, leading them to clinch the title. This remains the highest individual score in a Ranji Trophy final.

Venkatesh Iyer 'definitely ready' to captain KKR at IPL 2025

In the event that he is offered the position, India and Madhya Pradesh all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer is "definitely ready" to lead the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). The reigning champions, who will take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the opening IPL 2025 match at Eden Gardens on March 22, have not yet named a new captain. Shreyas Iyer was released and has taken over as captain of Punjab Kings (PBKS).

Iyer, who was bought back for a record INR 23.75 crore (about US$ 2.83 million), is reportedly one of the top candidates, along with former India captain Ajinkya Rahane, although KKR has not yet announced their new captain.

Iyer, 30, is excited for the experience even though he has never held a leadership position in competitive cricket. "Certainly. "I'm definitely ready," he stated in a recent interview with ESPNcricinfo. "As I've always stated, being captain is really a tag. I think that leadership is important. Being a leader is a more significant job to play.

"To be a leader in your dressing room, you don't necessarily need to be a captain. You must lead by example. Both on and off the field, you must set a positive example, which is what I am doing in MP at the moment. I am not the captain of the MP squad, but my views are valued, and I truly enjoy being in a place where everyone, regardless of experience level, wealth, or status, is free to express their thoughts. Or you simply need to be allowed to express your thoughts and ideas without fear of repercussions.

"Being that person has always been my dream. And I would absolutely want to take on the role of captain if it were offered to me. There is no room for doubt about this. If it comes up, I'll do it without a doubt. There is no excuse for not doing it.

After making his IPL debut in 2021, Iyer played a key role in improving KKR's performance that year. With seven victories in nine games, they made it to the final after starting with four losses in six games. Although Iyer's function has since expanded, his placement at the top of the list contributed to the upswing. In addition to shifting to No. 3 (and lower) the previous season, he has contributed with the ball when required. Iyer has amassed 1326 runs at a strike rate of 137 for KKR in 51 games overall. He has never played for any other team.

The hectic Indian domestic season may be one factor in KKR's decision to hold out on announcing their IPL 2025 captain. In the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy final, which Madhya Pradesh lost to Mumbai, Iyer was one of few KKR players present at the time of the massive auction, which took place in late November. The final of the Ranji Trophy was held on February 26 after the second leg.

While the domestic season was going on, Iyer expressed his satisfaction that KKR did not want to disturb the players. Giving players space and allowing them to concentrate on domestic cricket is a positive thing. We'll take care of it when the time comes." The complete interview with Venkatesh Iyer will be released prior to the 2025 Indian Premier League.

[ad_1] Karun Nair for Vidarbha vs Kerala in the Ranji Trophy final (PC: BCCI Domestic) If this game is about cashing in on opportunities when they come only once in a while, Kerala kept losing those, while Vidarbha took a firm grip on the Ranji Trophy final. On the fourth and penultimate day at VCA Stadium in Nagpur, the home team added 249 runs to their first-innings lead of 37 to stretch the tally to 286 with six wickets still in hand. Karun Nair and Danish Malwar shared another big stand to help Vidarbha stretch their lead and take the summit clash away from Kerala. That process began when Kerala had a golden chance to get back in the game. Nair and Malwar had lifted Vidarbha from seven for two and taken the total to 55, when Eden Apple Tom forced an outside edge off Nair’s bat. The simple chance was put down by Akshay Chandran at first slip. The pair remained non-separated for 40 more overs and added 182 for the third wicket. The seasoned player and the youngster in his debut season had shared a stand of 215 in the first innings. Chandran and Kerala’s captain Sachin Baby had dropped catches at crucial stages in the semi-final against Gujarat also, but managed to wrest a two-run lead. They have been sloppy in this game too, losing wickets in a cluster and not using the spinners together in the second innings. Two of their three fast bowlers received last warnings for running on to the pitch. Add Baby’s suicidal dismissal for 98 and a lot of things that could have gone wrong for Kerala went wrong. Little went wrong for Nair and Malewar in this game, in this season rather. Nair, who made 328 for Karnataka in the 2014-15 Ranji final against Tamil Nadu, was run out for 86 in the first innings in this one. He brought up his fourth century of the season (unbeaten on 132) and third in the last four games. The 33-year-old with a Test triple century to his credit had also made five centuries in the Vijay Hazare one-dayers. Having won the Ranji title twice with Karnataka, Nair is well set for another with his adopted state. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here Vidarbha vs Kerala in the Ranji Trophy final (PC: BCCI Domestic) Kerala looked short of ideas. For a long time in the first session and a reasonable period after lunch, they didn’t deploy together the off-spin of Jalaj Saxena and the left-arm orthodox variety of Aditya Sarwate. The in-form spinners were expected to be the trump cards on a fourth-day pitch with roughs on both ends. But Baby persisted with the quicker bowlers from around the wicket until N Basil and MD Nidheesh ran on to the danger area on the pitch a bit too often. Malewar fell for 73 after making 153 in the first innings. A tally of 783 in 15 innings with two centuries and six fifties was astonishing work from the 21-year-old in his debut season. Yash Rathod had a quiet final but scored the eight runs needed to become the highest-scorer of the season. The left-hander finished with 960 runs. A day earlier, left-arm spinner Harsh Dubey had set a record for the most wickets — 69 — in a Ranji season. Landmarks, individual and collective, are in the bag. Vidarbha are on their way to winning India’s biggest first-class title for the third time in seven years. Brief scores: Vidarbha 379 & 249/4 (Karun Nair 132 batting, Danish Malewar 73) vs Kerala 342.

Little went wrong for Nair and Malewar in this game, in this season rather. Nair, who made 328 for Karnataka in the 2014-15 Ranji final against Tamil Nadu, was run out for 86 in the first innings in this one. He brought up his fourth century of the season (unbeaten on 132) and third in the last four games. The 33-year-old with a Test triple century to his credit had also made five centuries in the Vijay Hazare one-dayers. Having won the Ranji title twice with Karnataka, Nair is well set for another with his adopted state. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here Vidarbha vs Kerala in the Ranji Trophy final (PC: BCCI Domestic) Kerala looked short of ideas. For a long time in the first session and a reasonable period after lunch, they didn’t deploy together the off-spin of Jalaj Saxena and the left-arm orthodox variety of Aditya Sarwate. The in-form spinners were expected to be the trump cards on a fourth-day pitch with roughs on both ends. But Baby persisted with the quicker bowlers from around the wicket until N Basil and MD Nidheesh ran on to the danger area on the pitch a bit too often. Malewar fell for 73 after making 153 in the first innings. A tally of 783 in 15 innings with two centuries and six fifties was astonishing work from the 21-year-old in his debut season. Yash Rathod had a quiet final but scored the eight runs needed to become the highest-scorer of the season. The left-hander finished with 960 runs. A day earlier, left-arm spinner Harsh Dubey had set a record for the most wickets — 69 — in a Ranji season. Landmarks, individual and collective, are in the bag. Vidarbha are on their way to winning India’s biggest first-class title for the third time in seven years. Brief scores: Vidarbha 379 & 249/4 (Karun Nair 132 batting, Danish Malewar 73) vs Kerala 342.
