MS Dhoni turned 42 on Friday. The legend known for his leadership qualities, last-ball match-winning sixes and brisk wicket-keeping skills has won India all three major ICC white-ball trophies. Indian cricket’s talisman is one of the most successful captains in the history of cricket. With an average of 50.57 in 350 ODIs, one-day cricket remains to be Captain Cool’s strongest format. He scored his career best of 183* against Sri Lanka, the highest ever by a wicketkeeper in an ODI game. He scored 10 centuries and 73 fifties and is India’s fifth-highest run scorer in ODIs. Batting down the order through most of his career and still pulling off 10,000-plus runs only adds to the stature of India’s last World cup winning captain. India’s most successful ODI captain has led India to 200 matches with a winning percentage of 55. Five matches were tied while 11 failed to produce a result. It was under MS Dhoni’s leadership that India ended the 28-year-long draught of a 50-over World Cup trophy, winning it in 2011. With 229 sixes, he is the fifth-highest six-hitter of all time and also has the second-highest sixes by an Indian next to Rohit Sharma (275 sixes).

Taylor Swift released her Grammy-winning album "Speak Now," marking a pivotal moment in her career. It was her third studio album and the first one without any songwriting collaborations, showcasing her growth as a musician and songwriter. However, the release was not without its challenges. Swift faced criticism from skeptics who doubted her ability to craft such masterful country-pop songs on her own, questioning whether a teenage idol could be responsible for such mature and introspective lyrics. Now, thirteen years later, Swift has re-released «Speak Now» as «Speak Now (Taylor's Version)» as part of her effort to regain control over her early catalog. This re-recording project was prompted by the sale of her original recordings by her former music manager, Scooter Braun. By re-recording her albums, Swift aims to assert ownership over her songs and their usage, reflecting the album's underlying theme of declaration and empowerment. The original working title of the album was «Enchanted,» derived from the power ballad of the same name. However, Scott Borchetta, the CEO of Big Machine Records, Swift's label president at the time, urged her to choose a more mature title as she was transitioning into her twenties. This transition becomes an intriguing framework for understanding «Speak Now.» Written during her late teenage years and released when she turned 21, the album captures Swift's journey into adulthood, fame, and asserting herself as an artist.
