The Bihar cricketer, who was selected for the Indian T20 team for the Ireland and England Tour as well India’s Asian Games squad, is expected to break Sachin Tendulkar’s long-held record of being the youngest to play for India at the age of 16 years and 205 days, with his debut for India during the tour. 1983 World Cup winning Indian captain and all-rounder Kapil Dev, who was player of the match in the game in which Tendulkar had made his debut in 1989, has lauded Sooryavanshi but said that he is still too young and it may be too early to make a well-rounded assessment of him. “Vaibhav is too young. But yes he is a special talent and full stop. He is a 16-year-old kid and everything he has is only cricket. Once he reaches 20-22, …

3 min readNew DelhiJun 23, 2026 07:19 PM IST Kapil Sharma is one of the most successful comedians in India but a few years ago, Kapil hit a rough patch when many reports claimed that Kapil was holding up his own shoot and was turning up hours late on set. So much so that Bollywood stars who came to shoot with him had to wait for him, and on some occasions, the shoot was called off because Kapil was a no-show. In this phase, Kapil had a massive argument with journalist Vickey Lalwani, where Kapil allegedly abused Vickey and accused him of writing unsavoury articles about him in exchange for money. In a new interview, Vickey recalled that chapter and said that this episode was particularly “shocking” for him as he had never encountered a star who would actually call a journalist and abuse them. In a chat with Siddharth Kannan, Vickey shared that he got a call from an unknown number in April 2018, and the caller identified himself as Kapil Sharma. “Kapil went …

3 min readJun 8, 2026 06:41 PM IST Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is the toast of the town, with the teenager becoming the youngest to earn a call-up to the senior Indian men’s cricket team after a record-breaking season in the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL). The achievement itself followed him powering India to victory in the U19 World Cup with a record-breaking century in the final. He has managed all this while still being 15 years old, which means that if he makes his debut, he will break Sachin Tendulkar’s record for being the youngest Indian debutant of all time in men’s cricket. Tendulkar was aged 16 when he faced Pakistan in his first Test in November 1989 in Karachi. Kapil Dev was player of the match in that Test, which ended in a draw, and legendary former India captain said that while he is excited by what he has seen of Sooryavanshi, fans and those around him should avoid expecting too much too soon. “He is a special talent, give him time, but he definitely …

‘Daadi Ki Shaadi’Dir: Ashish R MohanActors: Kapil Sharma, Neetu KapoorRating: 1 star Kapil Sharma is a pretty decent actor. And I say so for a singular reason. That being the splendidly experiential, Nandita Das’s Zwigato (2023, Prime Video). How that picture landed with him beats me. It remains a fine casting choice still. Outside of that, India’s top talk show host Kapil’s secondary talent lies in selecting the most third-rate comedy scripts to star in.  Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here.
