Avesh Khan Faces Possible Ban After Strange Incident in SRH vs LSG Clash

Avesh Khan Faces Possible Ban After Strange Incident in SRH vs LSG Clash

Published by Webster

The Lucknow Super Giants pacer Avesh Khan is likely to be punished for infringing the ICC rules during the IPL match against SRH. Avesh Khan grabbed the highlight due to his strange actions when LSG captain skipper Rishabh Pant smashed the winning runs to secure their first victory against SRH at Hyderabad. Pant smashed the winnings boundary off Jaydev Unadkat in the final over, sealing a last-ball thriller for his team. In a dramatic finish, Avesh Khan was ready to bat standing near the boundary as the tension escalated in the LSG camp. With the team needing just one run from two balls, Pant smashed Unadkat’s delivery over towards boundary. Avesh Khan didn’t wait for the ball to cross the line and he swung his bat and began celebrating immediately. Arshin Kulkarni was visibly taken aback, raising his hands in disbelief at his teammate’s unusal move. The pacer got off lightly as neither SRH raised a complaint nor did the umpires intervene but pacer’s unusal move could have backfired badly, potentially costing his team the …

‘Strange how different teams have more pull than others’: South Africa’s Quinton de Kock, David Miller slam ICC | Cricket News

3 min readMar 8, 2026 11:52 AM IST South Africa cricketers Quinton de Kock and David Miller have lashed out at the International Cricket Council (ICC) for England leaving India before the Proteas or the West Indies despite being eliminated later from the T20 World Cup. The Iran War has complicated international travel with the global transit hub of Dubai being affected by the war. De Kock and Miller were angered by the fact that England players and staff left for home on Saturday evening via a direct charter flight to London. This was just two days after their exit from the T20 World Cup at the hands of India in the semi-final. Meanwhile, South Africa and West Indies, who were eliminated from the T20 World Cup before England are still in India. “Funny @icc, we have heard nothing! Meanwhile, England are leaving before us somehow? @westindies and @proteasmencsa are just in the dark! Strange how different teams have more pull than others,” De Kock wrote in a Story on his Instagram account. Miller, meanwhile, …

Australia were nowhere near good enough, selections were strange: Michael Clarke | Cricket News

Australia were nowhere near good enough, selections were strange: Michael Clarke | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Former Australian captain Michael Clarke has slammed the Australian cricket team for being “nowhere near good enough” at the ongoing T20 World Cup where they will be heading home after the group stage. The lowest point was their loss to Zimbabwe by 23 runs, which on the heels of their loss to co-hosts Sri Lanka by eight wickets, spelt doom for their campaign. Talking about Australia’s World Cup in Sri Lanka, Clarke said: “Extremely disappointing. But I will say that I can guarantee you the players will be feeling it as much as, if not more than, the rest of us. Sometimes when you have bad losses—and I was a part of a few when I played—you can have this assumption that the players don’t really care. The players would be fuming, there’s no doubt about it, and they would have been committed to this tournament, but our performance has been terrible.” The Australian squad has been ravaged by injuries, but Clarke said that they still had enough to make it out of the group …

‘It will be strange watching it from home’: Rohit Sharma opens up on missing T20 World Cup for first time in his career | Cricket News

Published by Webster

The last time India played a T20 World Cup, they had won the whole thing under the stewardship of Rohit Sharma back in 2024. That win in the final against South Africa ended India’s long drought of ICC trophies as Rohit became the second captain after Mahendra Singh Dhoni to win the T20 World Cup. Fast forward to 2026, Rohit, who had retired from T20Is after winning the trophy in 2024, will be watching the upcoming edition in February from the sidelines. “We were talking about this at home, that it will be strange watching it from home, especially the T20 World Cup. From the time it started until now, I have been part of every World Cup, so it will feel different. When I watch the team playing T20 games, the feeling of missing out isn’t as much. But when you miss a World Cup, the reality really sinks in. That’s when you realise you’re not going to be part of it. So it will be a little weird. However, I will be somewhere …

Robin Uthappa on dropping Shubman Gill and Jitesh Sharma from 2026 T20 World Cup squad: ‘Indian cricket is a strange place’ | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Omission of Shubman Gill and Jitesh Sharma from the 2026 World Cup squad did come as a surprise. While the form of Gill has been on a downward curve in the T20Is, the axing of Jitesh can be attributed to the team combination picked. Former Indian cricketer Robin Uthappa said that Indian cricket is a strange place and said one has to feel bad for Gill. “Indian cricket is a strange place. You would think there would be some semblance of predictability. It’s a great side, a fantastic side, no doubt. But hearts are broken for sure. I empathise with them. You’ve got to feel bad for Shubman Gill. He’s the captain of the Test and ODI side. Worst case scenario, I thought somebody else might be named the vice captain, but he’ll find a spot in the side, maybe not in the 11, but he’ll find a spot in the side as a third opener.” Speaking about Jitesh Sharma, Gill said, “Jitesh did nothing wrong. He has done exceptionally well. Having said that, the …

Published by Parlour News

Actor and lyricist Piyush Mishra recently weighed in on the large entourages that many actors in the film industry travel with. In a recent interaction, Piyush admitted that he loves working in the South film industry because their actors don’t live in hang-ups and don’t throw around their weight as stars. He spoke about actors in the Hindi film industry walking around with 8–9 people and 12 bodyguards, something he finds unnecessary. Speaking to Curly Tales, Piyush said, “People live in hangups, they have a lot of tantrums. Their entourage is so long. Almost 8-9 people will come with them, they will walk with at least 12 bodyguards but why do you need these many bodyguards? You are a single person. Who is coming to kill you? I don’t mind this and it is not that it is not applicable to me. I have one assistant and one make-up artist and I don’t need anybody else after these two. What is the need for so many people – one person is to drink with you. …

Strange Planet Confirmed in Binary Star System Nu Octantis

Strange Planet Confirmed in Binary Star System Nu Octantis

Published by Webster

A binary star system is a pair of stars gravitationally bound and orbiting a common centre of mass. In 2004, David Ramm at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand spotted a mysterious repeating signal while observing the motion of a pair of stars in a system called Nu Octantis. The signal hinted that a massive planet, twice Jupiter’s size, might exist in that system. In a new study, a small group of astronomers used improved measuring devices to confirm the planet’s existence and explain how the system can remain stable. Retrograde motion of the planet According to the study, new data from the HARPS spectrograph at the European Southern Observatory, the main star in the system is a sub-giant. The smaller star, a white dwarf, and the planet both orbit the larger star. But, oddly enough, they go around the star in opposite directions. These reversed trajectories reduce the risk of gravitational disruption and make the system stable. The planet’s signal has remained consistent for more than 20 years, which strongly suggests it is …
