Case in point, an Australian classification has been found for a game based upon Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables 2. The classification lists Ubisoft as the publisher for Expendables 2, but it does not list a developer.

Now, to consider the existence of this sequel, you also have to think about the fact that the first Expendables didn’t have a tie-in console game – although it did have a mobile game and a parody 8-bit title created....

Gasly has since been the lead driver at AlphaTauri, having mentored 2021 rookie Yuki Tsunoda all throughout last season....

However, a resolute Ruturaj Gaikwad stood resolute for his masterclass 85 not out. He got decent support from Ravindra Jadeja (26 off 33) and a fiery hand from DJ Bravo (23 off 8). Together, the troika pushed the total to a competitive 156....

Chahal emerged as one of the key members of the RCB outfit over the course of his tenure.

However, a few players who did not have a great IPL 2022 season have also been surprisingly retained. On that note, here’s a list of one surprise retention that each team has made. #1 Gujarat Titans - Vijay Shankar Vijay Shankar had a disappointing season with the Gujarat Titans (GT) earlier this year.
