Ms Dhoni World Cup Bat

 

Former India captain MS Dhoni's match-winning six in the 2011 World Cup final against Sri Lanka on April 2 will always be one of the most iconic moments of Indian cricket.


In the all-important World Cup decider, Dhoni produced another fine knock under pressure and guided his team home in the record run-chase in a World Cup final.

The match was watched by about 42,000 spectators at the venue and about 135 million viewers on television in India.This was the second time in World Cup history that a host nation won the final and the first time to win on their home ground. 




Former India captain MS Dhoni is a big shot in India as he gave the country to rejoice on another World Cup victory after 28 long years. MS Dhoni played the best knock of his career in the finals of 2011 World Cup against Sri Lanka. Dhoni finished the game in style as he hit a six to score the last few runs and give India another World Cup.


Dhoni is still India's most successful captain in the ODIs and second overall after Australia's legendary captain Allan Border. Dhoni is the only captain to have won all three ICC trophies (T20 WC, 50-over WC and ICC Champions Trophy).





The iconic bat was later auctioned to collect funds for Dhoni's wife Sakshi's charitable organisation, 'Sakshi Foundation' that works for children from economically backward sections of the society in India and it fetched a record bid.


The bat entered the Guinness World Records and the Limca Book of Records after it was sold for 100,000 pounds ($161,295 or Rs 83 lakh) on July 18, 2011. The bat was bought by Amit Bhagchandka, chief executive officer (CEO) of RK Global, a financial broking firm. Dhoni later autographed the bat.

  During the last five years, the rise of AI has been truly astounding.

According to a new report from market research firm Tractica [1], it is likely to grow from $643.7 million at the present time, to $36 billion by 2025. This represents a 57-fold increase over that time period. Yet, this is only the beginning. Many people associate AI with robotics, but the applications and usage of AI is becoming vast. In this paper, I will briefly examine how AI is likely to impact on our lives in the future. Look at the past to guess the future of AI I have outlined in this paper what the age of AI is likely to look like in the future and some of the consequences.
