IPL 5: Kolkata aim for third successive win

Having got into a winning momentum in the fifth edition of the Indian Premier League, Kolkata Knight Riders will be looking to keep things that way when they take on Kings XI Punjab at the Eden Gardens in match 17 on Sunday. The win over Rajasthan Royals on Saturday could not have been better timed by KKR, who now have the luxury of their second home fixture in three days, and an opportunity to rake up their third consecutive victory.

After an impressive bowling performance on the back of Shakib Al Hasan's inspiring spell of 3 for 17, which kept Rajasthan down to 131 for 5, some useful contributions from the top and middle order saw Kolkata overhaul the target in 19.2 overs for the loss of five wickets, to move to fourth place on the points table in the process. After a slow start to the tournament which saw KKR lose their opening two matches of the competition, the trend has now been reversed as a result of back-to-back victories, against Royal Challengers Bangalore which was followed by the one against Rajasthan.

Messi, Ronaldo set La Liga scoring record of 41 goals

Madrid: Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have both broken the record for league goals in a Primera Division season on the very same night.

Ronaldo headed a crucial second for Real Madrid as Jose Mourinho's men came from behind to beat Sporting Gijon 3-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu, while Messi hit a double in Barcelona's match at Levante later on Saturday.

Ronaldo had equalled last season's total of 40 with a hat-trick in the 4-1 derby win at Atletico Madrid on Wednesday, but surpassed the mark on Saturday after scoring with a 73rd-minute header at the Bernabeu.

The Portuguese won the Pichichi prize last season, although Marca, who award the trophy, claimed the Madrid forward had scored 41 times, attributing a deflected free kick against Real Sociedad to Ronaldo - even though the referee had given the goal to Pepe.

Messi, meanwhile, began the day on 39 league goals but his two second-half goals saw Barca come from behind at Levante and he, too, now has 41 Primera Division strikes this term. The Argentine also equalled a Liga record by scoring for the 10th game in a row.

Messi now has 64 goals in all competitions, while Ronaldo has scored 53. Madrid also levelled their all-time Liga goals record of 107 strikes and will look to surpass that total, set by John Toshack's Real side in 1989-90, in next weekend's Clasico at Camp Nou.

Masand: 'Bittoo Boss' is enjoyable until it goes off-track

Director: Supavitra Babul

It's hard to say for sure if it's his rakish charm or the lure of that video camera he wields that has the townsfolk seduced in 'Bittoo Boss'. A mini hero of sorts in his native Anandpur, no wedding is complete without his presence. Each time he swaggers into a shaadi, often hours late, he raises the spirits of tired relatives and spreads cheer when he points his camera in their direction, promising to take a "sesky shot". Bittoo (played by Pulkit Samrat) is no ordinary wedding videographer. As the film's nicely done opening sequences establish, he doesn't just shoot weddings... he creates memories.

It's unfortunate that the same surefootedness that debutant director Supavitra Babul shows in setting up the narrative, disintegrates into a trite, preachy affair in the second half. The tone shifts when the plot twist is introduced – humiliated by the girl he likes (Amita Pathak) for his simple ambitions and modest means, Bittoo takes the drastic decision to shoot pornographic videos to earn big bucks; he arrives in Shimla to secretly film honeymooning couples in hotel rooms.

I'd be giving away too much if I went into how this film ditches the quirky potential of its premise, and instead goes down a silly, sanctimonious path. It all comes undone when Bittoo, messiah-like, "rescues" the very couples whose privacy he's meant to invade: first, an under-age pair of students, then an awkward simpleton and his bindaas wife.

IPL 5: Victory on mind as RCB face Rajasthan

Distraught after losing the last-ball thriller against Chennai Super Kings on Thursday, Royal Challengers Bangalore return home to take on Rajasthan Royals in Match 18 of IPL 5 on Sunday.

In spite of posting a massive total of 205, Bangalore’s bowlers couldn’t defend the score as a last-ball four by Ravindra Jadeja sealed a memorable win for Chennai. Giving the penultimate over to Virat Kohli proved extremely costly for Daniel Vettori and his team as 28 runs were scored off the military medium-pace of Kohli. Vinay Kumar also had a horrible outing as he was clobbered for 53 runs in his four overs while picking up just one wicket in the 20th over.

Avoiding a goof-up like the one in the previous match should be at the top of Vettori’s what-not-to-do list. What will the team’s strategy be, though, if one of their main bowlers gets the stick, just like in the last match?  Bringing in Abhimanyu Mithun or Sreenath Aravind in place of Vinay could be a possibility.
