New Delhi, June 29 (Ians) The Indian Premier League (Ipl) franchise Delhi Capitals announced on Thursday that assistant coaches Ajit Agarkar and Shane Watson have left the side, nearly a month after the team finished ninth in the 2023 season of the tournament.
“You’ll always have a place to call home here. Thank You, Ajit and Watto, for your contributions. All the very best for your future endeavours,” said the franchise on its social media accounts.
Agarkar joined the franchise as an assistant coach in February 2022, with Watson coming in a month later. During their time at Delhi, the franchise didn’t manage to make it to the playoffs in the 2022 and 2023 seasons. Agarkar has played in 26 Tests, 191 ODIs, and 4 T20Is for India, and was a member of the inaugural Men’s T20 World Cup winning team in 2007.

Boyega and Watson, both known for starring in mega franchises, were in a more intimate feature with The Circle. The 2017 project was a movie that followed Watson and Boyega as two young employees of a powerful social media company. Watson was offered the main role, and quickly grew attached to the film.
“It really stuck with me, the story and the questions that it raised. I found myself weeks later pondering different aspects of it and I think that’s always a good sign for a story or something I might potentially work on.

It’s Monday so you know what that means, it’s time for our weekly review of Aew: Rampage! This week’s show features Excalibur, Tony Schiavone, Chris Jericho and Jim Ross on commentary once again. Now let’s get to the review…
Match #1: The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn def. Rush, Preston Vance & Dralistico
My Thoughts: This was another average match from The Acclaimed who don’t seem to be able to kick things into top gear at all recently. Every match feels like the trio of Max Caster, Anthony Bowens and Billy Gunn are just going through the motions and sticking to a Very familiar playbook that gets them over with live audience but does nothing for them personally. If I’m truly honest, The Acclaimed should’ve lost this one – Rush and co. are much more on point these days and have been dominant for real, unlike The Acclaimed,...

Speaking ahead of that game, Delhi Capitals’ Assistant Coach Shane Watson said, “We certainly have a lot to play for as a franchise and individually. Hopefully, we can perform really well and take confidence from our win against Punjab Kings.”

In Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2023, Delhi have won only two out of six home games so far. Their scores at the Arun Jaitley Stadium have made for a mixed reading — 162/8, 172 all out, 128/6, 188/6, 187/3 and 136/8. The Warner-led side, currently at the bottom of the standings with 10 points from 13 matches, will face Chennai Super Kings in their last game of the season at home on Saturday afternoon.
"Look, the pitches here in Delhi haven’t been great, to be totally honest. They are probably great if you have a different sort of setup for your team. If you have a lot of Indian top-order batters, then that wicket will suit the team. But that’s not the makeup of our squad. So, as we saw the other night, where we saw ourselves playing on a traditional, good playing wicket and the ball goes through nicely like it’s going nicely and the...

Prime Video U.K. managing director Chris Bird said “there’s never been a better time to be an audience” when asked about the saturation of streaming services available to consumers.
“The breadth and selection of content available has never been more pronounced,” he said. “Everything is available all the time. I think the future is about range and convenience. Services that can provide that will be sustainable.”
Bird also pointed out how Amazon’s strategy encompassed all types of distribution, saying that via the company’s purchase of MGM they were funding movies such as “Creed III” that will be available in theaters before the film moves to the subscription-based Prime Video and eventually AVOD. “At some point down the line, ‘Creed III’ will be available freely, most likely as ad-supported,” Bird said.
