🚨 Sanju Samson is set to become the new CSK captain for IPL 2027. 🚨 According to reports, CSK is planning to appoint Sanju Samson as their new captain because Ruturaj Gaikwad has failed to deliver as captain. In fact, CSK has suffered a significant number of defeats under his leadership. Sanju Samson is a proven captain, having previously led RR and guided them to an IPL final. This decision was reportedly taken during CSK's review meeting, with MS Dhoni also involved in the discussions.

🚨 Ruturaj Gets ₹25 Cr KKR Offer 🚨 Ruturaj Gaikwad has reportedly been offered ₹25 crore by KKR to join them as captain. KKR sees him as captain because Ruturaj is also Team India’s captain. Ruturaj has also made up his mind to leave CSK, as he has been facing heavy trolling from CSK fans. MS Dhoni has reportedly advised him against the move, but Ruturaj believes he can perform better and revive his career at KKR. The decision could now lead to a major twist before IPL 2027.

🚨 Sanju Samson: "I’m ready to take on any responsibility for CSK."🚨 Interviewer: "Sanju, with Ruturaj failing, would you like to lead CSK?" Sanju Samson: Definitely. I’m absolutely ready to take on any responsibility for CSK. I have captaincy experience, and I believe I can use it effectively for the team’s benefit. So far, CSK haven’t achieved much under Ruturaj’s captaincy. He’s a poor captain, even if you give him the world’s best XI, I don’t think he could take them to the IPL playoffs. If CSK offer me the captaincy, I’ll gladly accept it. Ruturaj hasn’t been able to deliver, so now I feel I need to step up and do something for CSK.

Arjun Kapoor was going somewhere in his car when one of his huge fans came near the car and started requesting a selfie with him. So Arjun Kapoor rolled down his car window and got ready to give him a selfie, but instead of taking a selfie, his fan started making a video vlog with him. Arjun Kapoor got annoyed by this and told his fan, Just take a selfie, why are you making a video? Arjun Kapoor may have only a few fans, but if even his own fans try to act smart with him, he doesn't hesitate to troll them on the spot.😂🤣

Already loving the story that Carmelo Hayes is creating with US Title open challenges. Usually after First 48, he goes immediately for Nothing But Net. But his knee is still hurt after the Nakamura match so he couldn't go to the top rope fast enough and decided to go for the pinfall instead. Hitting his finisher with injured leg is extremely hard so he adjusted his gameplan and was able to get the win after reversing Superplex into a Cutter. All about the survival. Great stuff.

🚨Saransh Jain may disappear very soon - Manjrekar in the comm box🤯 Sanjay Manjrekar said :🗣️ "Saransh Jain has a pretty average outing against Sri Lanka. He was going through the motions, never looked like picking a wicket of any top order batter. I seriously think looking at this management under Gautam Gambhir, he may disappear very soon. This management just doesn't gives a long run to any player & looking at his performance, he may fail to feature in the Indian squad again. I hope he should be given more chances, but I have my doubts".

🚨🔴 Marcus Rashford MBE! 💰 350k per week - £18m per year! 🧢 37 Appearances in all competitions ⚽️ 8 Goals 🎯 6 Assists He was never a good pressing player and he was never good on the defensive side, he was always a liability on our squad when the opposition attacked us! But he was performing on the attack and somehow he was able to make for his lack of defensive effort, but with this stats of this season.. and him jogging on the field just like he is in training is the reason why i think is for the best for both parties to move on from each other. I know he is a local boy, and he loves the club… but man he needs to wake up or he needs to get away from our club, us as fans can’t defend him anymore, we can’t get behind him with this kind of performance, we see no desire no passion nothing!!! That’s shocking for a player that is entering his ‘’prime’’ Dear MR wake up, or please get out of our beloved club! #MUFC

When Jalen Williams first declared for the draft, his agents didn’t know if he would even go high enough to stay in the draft. But 5 minutes into his first workout before the combine, his new trainer, Packie Turner, turned to them and said his college career was done. Turner knew he was a guaranteed lottery pick. “He’s gifted, man.” Only three years later, J Dub is taking over the NBA finals with creative, unstoppable moves. I spoke with Turner to break down how they built these moves and what made Williams a championship caliber playmaker so quickly. Read on The Athletic NBA below 👇👇👇

He has played just a few games, stop judging him right now & we all know the talent he possesses. He is a young kid that will learn very quickly & will return with so much learning. So, we need to give the youngster time & not judge him just by two or three outings. He is a complete match winner & changes the course in a few balls. So, we are making him feel easy & secured & he will surely get a long rope in the time to come".

🚨 Ben Stokes explains the difficult decision to move on from James Anderson 🎙️ " Jimmy is undoubtedly the greatest fast bowler we've ever produced, and probably will be for a very long time. What you and he achieved in terms of longevity is just incredible. We asked Jimmy to come in. I was actually supposed to be in America, but I couldn't get my visa, so I thought, "Well, I'm in Manchester, so I'll come and do it as well." ( About Conversation) It was a tough conversation because Jimmy was still a top-class bowler. But we were looking to build a bowling attack for Australia, and we just didn't feel that Jimmy was going to be part of those plans. Rather than holding onto Jimmy and then going to Australia without him anyway, we wanted him to leave the game on terms that felt right to him. I'm sure there was resentment. I'm sure there was disappointment because it wasn't an easy thing for someone who's done so much for the game to hear. But the game moves on from people. It moved on from you, it's moved on from me, and it always will. That shouldn't take away anything he's has done for English cricket

The duo of dreams will set the stage on under Belletti. There's a reason I want Bisiwu in Atletic because he will get more consistent gametime plus an elite wingback like Caicedo. Bisiwu is so mature for his age btw. He's got an eilte dribbling technique excellent biomechanics but the thing that separates him from other wingers is decision making. The ability to know when to dribble & when to pass in order to not get dispossessed that's astonishing. Bisiwu + Caicedo is a lethal potential force on the left wing which many sides would dream to conquer. Signing both for 10-11m was the masterstroke from Deco. 💙❤️

A poor old painter spent his days drawing portraits on a busy street. One afternoon, a customer asked for a portrait. As the old man carefully painted, two police officers suddenly arrived. The customer panicked and ran away. The officers gathered the painter's canvases, brushes, and supplies, then asked the old man to come with them. Tears filled his eyes. He thought he had done something wrong. But when they stopped, he was shocked. They had brought him to a local art gallery. The officers had secretly shown his paintings to the gallery owner, who was amazed by his talent. For the first time in his life, the old painter saw his artwork hanging on gallery walls. He cried again-but this time, they were tears of joy.

🚨SELECTORS SHOULD HAD A WORD WITH ROHIT SHARMA LONG BEFORE - HARSHA BHOGLE🤯 Harsha Bhogle said :🗣️ "Rohit Sharma is still ready & upbeat about playing the 2027 ODI WC & so was the selectors. But, what transformed all of a sudden? He was working hard, day in & day out on his fitness & almost sure about his body & fitness but all of a sudden, everything changed. I thought selectors made up their mind before the Afghanistan series or may be before, then why they delayed everything? They should have told him earlier & communicated with him. There was a clear lack of communication & you announced it in between the series with World cup not very far away. That's a clear disrespect to the legacy, to all those achievements, everything he has done for the country".

🚨Ricky Ponting’s Massive Backing for Shreyas Iyer🚨 🗣️I can’t speak highly enough about Shreyas. I made my point pretty clear when I spent as much money as I did on him in the auction. I wanted to work with him again.I knew I could bring the best out of him as a player, but I also wanted to work with him again as a captain and leader. He was awesome. I had no doubt in my mind that he was the right man for the Indian T20 captaincy, and I think he’ll be the right man for that job until he retires from T20 cricket. I rate Shreyas Iyer very highly, and I’m sure his record with India will turn around quickly. He’ll be a key player for India at the 2027 ODI World Cup.

🚨 BCCI Should Take Action Against Arshdeep Singh for Travelling with His Girlfriend During the Asian Games?🚨 Team India are in Japan preparing for the Asian Games, while Arshdeep Singh has been seen spending time in Japan with his girlfriend, Samreen Kaur. Why did Arshdeep Singh take Samreen Kaur with him during the Asian Games? It seems he can't stay away from his girlfriend for long. If the BCCI doesn't allow players to take their girlfriends on tour, then how was Arshdeep able to travel with Samreen? Is there a different rule in this case? With such an important tournament underway, should Arshdeep be focusing entirely on his cricket instead of his personal life? What do you think—should the BCCI clarify the rules or even take action if any guideline has been violated?

When you rescue a senior dog with medical problems who just had surgery & limps on one leg but he stole your heart and you’re watching him become the dog he was always meant to be! Side note: For everyone who is going to comment or make fun of my Christmas tree still being up — I did not have a Christmas last year. I spent it in the animal hospital with Teddy where I had to watch him slowly die. It was miserable and there was no Christmas. I have not wanted to take my tree down yet for that reason.

We are used to seeing this happen a lot nowdays. RCB players always misses the cut under this management. I seriously don't know the exact reason actually. Rajat Patidar won them back to back trophies, and he was brutal with his six hitting abilities. Krunal Pandya was the most effective all rounder this season while Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been doing a fantastic job for them. It's quite shocking to see them not getting a single opportunity. What is wrong with these selections? They all deserve a go at some point".

You guys. I can’t. I just can’t. Candace last night said who Ben was with. She laid out this man’s life on FB. Said he was a Jeeeewww. He was rich. He was a Freemason. He was a bad man. Ben has been donating lots of money to his org. She verified it and her contact was reliable. I guess she was FRAUDED!! Ben doesn’t know the guy. He DOESNT know the man. Listen to Ben’s reaction. It’s hilarious. And he says he wants to play a game with her now. And for every wrong guess Ben will donated 10k to Charlie’s kids. Here’s two clips of Candace lying with a serious face. And the Ben’s reaction. I know they are longer clips but watching them in order makes it even more funny. Heres the link to Ben’s entire reaction if you really want a laugh. This woman…never gives evidence. But in the rare times she does it’s always debunked immediately.

Several months ago I read an article entitled "Fart walks save lives" and ever since I've been a fan of a post-prandial stroll... It is so good for the digestion and general health; it gets the blood circulating, burns calories and let's you talk through the day with your other half....(farting is optional). So tonight, after a home-cooked meal, I persuaded james to come along the river for a 40 minute walk- and-talk. It was pitch black on the towpath and we saw only 3 other people, all wearing earpods . On the way back we heard, " help! Help!"... and at first thought it was one of the many rowing coaches you hear on The Thames - even after dark. But then I saw a bicycle on its side and shouted after the voice. 20 ft below us, in the water, was a bloke who had come off his bike and fallen headlong down the banking. He had flattened some of the bushes and trees but was still very difficult to see amongst the thick foliage. James scrambled down as far as safely possible to get a better look. The chap was still in his bike helmet, waist deep in the water and thick mud but unable to get any grip at all on the sheer brick wall. James got back up and found his very long bike lock which he then dangled down to try and pull him up - while I nervously said, " please don't get pulled in too.." (eventually James said, " yes I heard you the first 3 times..."). He was too far down to pull up but was pleading with us not to call 999..."it's just so embarrassing " he said.... He sounded like he was in his 50s, well-spoken and very fed up with himself! I stayed talking to him while James ran to get a longer rope and torch from home (but also gave me the nod to call 999). I was worried that our friend might let go or try to climb out and lose his grip if he knew the lifeguard was coming so I kept him talking and asked if there was anyone else I could ring for him. He rather ruefully said no. James appeared back sprinting with the rope. But seconds after speaking to 999, the Chiswick Lifeboat appeared heroically through the dark. They scooped our water-logged Bradley wiggins up and took him down to Kew and off to hospital to get checked over. We walked his bike back to our house and hope to reunite them soon. The moral to the story is that you should never flop on the sofa after dinner when you could walk round the block. Because that article was right - fart walks do save lives! Great job Chiswick Lifeboat
