3 min readKochiMar 29, 2026 09:33 AM IST Although they have been together for over a decade and married for eight years now, Bollywood star Anushka Sharma and cricketer Virat Kohli continue to serve major couple goals. From constantly celebrating and proudly showing off each other on social media to being one another’s biggest cheerleaders, even in public, they have always melted fans’ hearts. The match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), marking the grand opening of the 19th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Saturday, March 28, served as yet another example of this. As usual, Anushka was present in the stands during the match, keenly observing every moment like a bona fide fan. However, two instances in particular caught everyone’s attention, as they encapsulated the Virushka dynamic perfectly. While one of these was her reaction to a rare misfield by Virat, the other highlighted their enduring love and the way their eyes always search for one another, even when in the midst of large crowds.

While the 29-year-old has been away from the public eye as an actress for close to two years, following the release of Challengers in March 2024, this trip around the sun looks particularly happening for her.

Zendaya plans to go into hiding after the release of four films and one show this year During a conversation with Fandango, Zendaya expressed her wish to hit pause on her future prospects by saying how she hopes the audiences would not be too tired of her in 2026, what with her no less than five massive projects in the pipeline.

Ding Liren after dropping out of FIDE ratings list: ‘Quite enjoy my current situation, having inactive rating’ | Chess News

Published by Webster

2 min readMar 18, 2026 06:40 PM IST Former world champion Ding Liren, a predecessor on the chess world’s throne before India’s D Gukesh, was recently removed from the FIDE ratings list because of him having played too few games to be considered an “eligible” player for the list. Ding, though, has no qualms at this. In fact, in an interview recently, he opened up about enjoying his current situation. “I quite enjoy my current situation. What I mean is, being a player with an inactive rating, who seldom participates in elite invitationals. I’m enjoying this rare moment of leisure,” Ding told Jonathan Zhi in a written interview. Ding had become the 17th world champion after outlasting Ian Nepomniachtchi in the 2023 World Chess Championship. But a year later, Ding lost the crown to India’s Gukesh in Singapore. Ding’s world championship defeat had come after he had experienced a wretched run of form right after he became world champion. His own predecessor on the world champion’s throne, Magnus Carlsen had even gone on to say …

‘You benched them using the excuse of surgery’: Shahid Afridi slams Pakistan selectors for dropping experienced ODI players for Bangladesh series | Cricket News

3 min readUpdated: Mar 16, 2026 05:25 PM IST Shahid Afridi lambasted Pakistan selectors after the team fell to a 2-1 defeat to Bangladesh in the recently concluded ODI series on Sunday. The former Pakistan batter said that the selectors had dropped experienced ODI players due to their ordinary performance at the T20 World Cup and made a big mistake in giving new and inexperienced players the chance in these important series. “We lost the Bangladesh series 2-1. I am disappointed with the selection committee. You guys at the selection committee have played so much cricket and you still have no idea about who should captain in what format. You just take decisions. With the excuse of surgery, you pick new players who have just played a few first class matches. The domestic system is not even of the standard that players can come up from there and make a place for themselves in the Pakistan team,” he said in a video on his X account. “The seniors who didn’t perform well in the T20 …

3 min readMar 1, 2026 08:59 PM IST As India went with an unchanged playing XI against West Indies in the T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 clash at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday, Rinku Singh failed to find a spot in the XI for the second game in a row as the management showed faith in Sanju Samson to partner with Abhishek Sharma at the top. Samson was brought into the mix after the left-handed duo of Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan failed to provide good starts. Kishan had been doing the heavy lifting right from the start of the tournament, whereas Abhishek was struggling with his form. The World No. 1 batter registered three back-to-back ducks, and it was only the Super 8 game against South Africa where he managed to get his first runs. Over time, off-spinners were getting the better of the left-hand opening pair as India decided to go with Samson alongside Abhishek, demoting Kishan to No. 3. Samson scored a 14-ball 25 in a must-win game against …

‘People are dropping things when you shoot’: ISSF rule tweaks draw Indian ire at Asian Shooting Championships as 50m 3P shooters struggle to adapt | Sport-others News

Published by Parlour News

If there is one constant in the 50m 3P shooting event, it is the never-ending changes that the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) attempts to put onto the discipline. The latest though have earned the ire of Indian shooters and coaches who felt that the changes, made essentially for spectators, have disadvantaged the shooters. Forever known as the marathon of shooting, the 50m 3P event used to be a 120-shot event, which was then trimmed to 60 shots. Played over the three positions of kneeling, prone and standing, the event was one where India weren’t the strongest until the last few years. Now the country finds itself with possibly one of the strongest squads in the world, and capped off a period of growth when Swapnil Kusale picked up a bronze medal in the event at the Paris Olympics. On Tuesday, two Indians medaled at the Asian Shooting Championships 50m 3P event with Aakriti Dahiya picking up her first-ever international medal – a silver at the Dr Karni Singh Shooting Range, while veteran shooter Anjum …

Netherlands’ Max O’Dowd faced abuse on Instagram after dropping Faheem Ashraf: ‘Indian fans were angrier than Dutch’

Published by Parlour News

The last few days have been a roller coaster ride for the Netherlands’ opening batter, Max O’Dowd. The 31-year-old was the centre of attraction in the team’s opening match of the T20 World Cup against Pakistan at the SSC in Colombo on February 7. He had the chance of pulling off something truly special for the Dutch had he plucked the catch of Faheem Ashraf in the penultimate over of the game. The Netherlands had their noses in front, and the left-hander’s dismissal would have been the final nail in the coffin. But O’Dowd buckled under pressure, and an easy chance went down at long-on, paving the way for Ashraf taking Pakistan home with an unbeaten 29 off 11 balls. Netherlands’ Max O’Dowd addresses a press conference. (AFP) The disappointment was evident on O’Dowd’s face after dropping a diving catch. However, no one truly deserves what came next for the right-hander. The next two to three days saw O’Dowd facing online abuse on Instagram, with several fans saying nasty things about him for dropping the …
