India are not the ‘frauds’ of world cricket anymore, western media’s ridicule laid to rest with a barrage of trophies

Published by Parlour News

Before India won the T20 World Cup in 2024, their previous ICC trophy had come in 2013 in the form of the Champions Trophy in England. The barren spell was just too long thereafter. What a formidable white-ball unit India have become! (PTI) There were occasions when India should have won, but sadly, they couldn’t cross the final hurdle. India reached the final of the 2014 T20 World Cup but lost to Sri Lanka in Dhaka. Firm favourites at home in the 2016 T20 World Cup, they lost to the West Indies in the semifinal. Then in the 2019 World Cup, they looked like the best team before losing to New Zealand in the semifinal against all odds. Two years before in 2017, they had lost to Pakistan in the Champions Trophy final, again against all odds. Then when in 2023, they lost their World Cup final against Australia in their own den at Ahmedabad, all hell broke loose.

2 min readFeb 10, 2026 05:08 PM IST When Liam Rosenior walked into Chelsea’s training ground as head coach, he knew the jokes were coming. “My background is different from managers at other top clubs,” he admitted. “I expected people to mock me.” The ridicule arrived quickly. Social media lit up with memes comparing him to Will McKenzie, the awkward teenager from The Inbetweeners. Rosenior doesn’t shy away from it. “I’ve seen the memes. I can laugh at them. But I also know what I bring to this job.” What he has brought, so far, is results. Seven wins in his first nine matches have steadied Chelsea and given fans reason to believe in the team again. Next up is Leeds United at Stamford Bridge, a fixture Rosenior calls “a really difficult game.” Chelsea’s decision to hire him was bold. He had impressed at Strasbourg, part of the same ownership group, but few expected him to leap straight into one of England’s biggest jobs. Rosenior sees it differently. “I’m proud of where I come from. …

Why Did Manoj Kumar Accuse Shah Rukh Khan Of Hurting Him? ( Photo Credit – Facebook; Instagram ) In 2007, Shah Rukh Khan and Farah Khan’s Om Shanti Om was a grand celebration of Bollywood’s golden era, packed with nostalgia, over-the-top drama, and star-studded cameos.

Shah Rukh Khan mimics the veteran actor’s signature style in a scene, covering his face with one hand while sneaking into a movie theatre. Additionally, a person playing the real-life Manoj Kumar role in the film was later lathi-charged by the guards and shooed away. According to India Today, the late Manoj Kumar stated at the time, “I am hurt. Shah Rukh Khan has injured my soul. It’s a conspiracy to humiliate and ridicule me. This is not filmmaking…My devotion to filmdom for the last 50 years has been insulted.” Additionally, the actor filed a Rs 100 crore defamation against Shah Rukh Khan, Farah Khan, and Red Chillies Entertainment.
