Pandya’s disappears momentarily on Instagram days after end of MI’s IPL campaign

Pandya’s disappears momentarily on Instagram days after end of MI’s IPL campaign

3 min readUpdated: May 27, 2026 07:55 PM IST Hardik Pandya’s Instagram account appeared deactivated for a few hours just three days after the end of Mumbai Indians’ rather disastrous 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign. While speculation brewed online on why this may have happened, the handle reappeared a few hours later. The speculation was further fuelled by the fact that five-time IPL champions MI had a rather dismal campaign this season. MI finished second to bottom in the league table, tied on eight points with bottom-placed Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) having won just four out of the 14 matches they played and lost 10. Pandya himself had a rather forgettable outing individually. He scored 206 runs in 10 matches but finished with a strike rate of just 138.25, a far cry from the 163.50 he managed last season and well below the kind of strike rate he is known to maintain. Pandya also managed just four wickets in the nine innings that he bowled in and ended with an economy of 11.42. Pandya was …

IPL 2026: ‘In his hands, the ball almost disappears. So…’: Ashwin on the debate around Jason Holder’s much talked catch of Rajat Patidar | Cricket News

3 min readMay 1, 2026 08:48 PM IST With the third umpire ruling a low catch of Royal Challengers Bengaluru batsman Rajat Patidar by Gujarat Titan’s all-rounder Jason Holder as a legal one in the IPL match at Ahmedabad on Thursday night, a lot of talk has been about the catch taken by the tall West Indian. Patidar had hit a Arshad Khan length delivery towards deep backward square with Holder and Casino Rabada going towards the ball followed by Holder taking the low catch while sliding. With replays showing Holder sliding and a part of the ball seeming to hit the ground out of Holder’s hands and the third umpire ruling the catch as legal, RCB player Virat Kohli as well coach Andy Flower were seen discussing the issue with the fourth umpire near the ropes. Former Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin believes the ball perhaps did not touch the ground with the ball almost disappearing in Holder’s hands and the decision was a right one made by the third umpire. “Jason Holder’s hands are …

Dense fog blankets north India, Taj Mahal nearly disappears from view

Dense fog blankets north India, Taj Mahal nearly disappears from view

Dense fog engulfed large parts of North India on Saturday morning, severely reducing visibility and disrupting daily life across several states. A thick blanket of fog, compounded by high pollution levels, led to near-zero visibility in many areas. In Agra, the iconic Taj Mahal was almost completely obscured by fog. The footage, shot from the Taj View Point, showed the monument disappearing into a dense white haze, leaving only faint outlines visible. Several tourists and locals expressed disappointment after being unable to view the UNESCO World Heritage Site. The visuals quickly drew reactions on social media, with users remarking on the unusually poor visibility and joking that the Taj Mahal had “vanished” behind the fog. Others compared the experience to seeing the monument only in postcards rather than in real life. Users online reacted saying, “North India winter doing VFX on a Wonder of the World” and “Where’s Taj Mahal, bro?” In response to the prevailing cold wave and dense fog, the Agra district administration announced revised school timings. From December 20 until further notice, …

Taylor Swift Fans Left in Frenzy As Reputation And Debut Disappears From Spotify; Sparks Taylor’s Version Theories

Taylor Swift’s self-titled debut album and her 2017 hit album Reputation disappeared from Spotify, leaving her fans in a frenzy! That’s because the Swifties took it as an indication that the pop star might soon be dropping the re-released versions of these albums.  The Cruel Summer hitmaker has been teasing Reputation: Taylor’s Version! During her appearance at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, she donned a yellow and black plaid look accessorized with long, leather fingerless gloves and thigh-high leather boots. Fans began to speculate that the pop star was signaling a return to her Reputation era. Moreover, it’s one of the most anticipated re-recorded albums since she released her first four — Fearless (Taylor’s Version) and Red (Taylor’s Version)  in 2021, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) and 1989 (Taylor’s Version) in 2023.  The possible Spotify Easter eggs surfaced suspiciously close to the 2025 Grammys.

Instagram stops the ‘rug pull’ that disappears videos while you’re watching them

Instagram stops the ‘rug pull’ that disappears videos while you’re watching them

You know that thing where, just after you’ve opened Instagram and become invested in whatever video was already loaded, a new video pops in and seemingly yeets the old video into the void, never to be seen again? That’s a thing of the past, according to Instagram boss Adam Mosseri, who says in an AMA from his Instagram Story yesterday that the app now waits for you to scroll to show you the new stuff. That behavior — which Instagram apparently called “rug pull” internally — wasn’t just some weird bug. Mosseri says the app did it “because we were trying to load new content, and it was taking a while, so we showed you something that was already downloaded in the meantime, and it is generally good for engagement.” But that’s “really annoying,” he acknowledges, “so we stopped doing it.” Instagram has taken “a little bit of an engagement hit for this,” Mosseri concludes, saying it’s a much better experience for those of us using the app. Disclaimer: We do not own any of …

MS Dhoni quietly disappears amid RCB’s emotional celebrations after CSK crash out; act fuels speculations about future

The match between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Saturday evening was billed as ‘the last dance’. In the sense that this was quite possibly the last time MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli would share the field together. Since it was a virtual knockout, a victory for one meant heartbreak for another. Usually, it’s easier to pick one, but in this case, even the most real, truest cricket fans were torn. If CSK won, it would mean another year of despair for Kohli, and if RCB emerged triumphant, it would mark the great man’s final appearance as a cricket. A double-edged sword that it was, eventually it was ecstasy for Kohli, agony for Dhoni as RCB defeated CSK by 27 runs to reach their 9th IPL Playoffs. MS Dhoni shook a few hands and quietly vanished(Screengrab) With 10 needed to win off 2 balls, when Ravindra Jadeja failed to put bat to ball, Dhoni sat shattered in the dugout, perhaps knowing this was it. But it was Dhoni’s post-match act that really put …
