• MS and Bhajji in controversy: Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni and spinster harbhajan Singh are in soup over the Padma Shree issue. They were expected at the Rashtrapati Bhawan (Indian president's residence) for receieving the prestigious Padma Shree awards. They both were busy in ad campaigns. Whilst Harbhajan has cited family issues for his giving the award ceremony a miss, response from Dhoni is awaited.

• BCCI supports MS and Bhajji: India's cricket board BCCI has come in defence of both the players over the Padma Shree row. The board has said that they must have not been informed about the ceremony or must have been busy.
