In Shaheen Shah Afridi, Pakistan have another star player underperforming. Should he be backed for Super 8s clash against New Zealand? | Cricket News

Published by Webster

5 min readUpdated: Feb 20, 2026 10:09 PM IST As Pakistan begin their Super 8s campaign on Saturday against New Zealand, a question is getting louder back home. There has been plenty of debate around Babar Azam’s spot in the XI, particularly when Fakhar Zaman has been warming the bench. But following the defeat to India, star pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi’s place has come under the scanner. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW VIDEO There is some merit to it. Like Mitchell Starc, Afridi is known for his ability to land early blows on opponents’ top order. When there is movement on air and off the pitch, the tall left-arm seamer isn’t the one that batsmen prefer to face straight up. Off his first over, Afridi has accounted for 62 wickets in all T20s, which should make him amongst the first names on the team sheet. But at this T20 World Cup, where Pakistan have realigned their bowling strategy to have the spinners call the shots, there are doubts over whether Afridi is complementing the attack. “There is …

Sikandar: Iulia Vantur REACTS to Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna’s film underperforming: ‘It was leaked…’

Published by Parlour News

Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna starrer Sikandar was released in the theaters on Eid with much anticipation. However, opposed to everyone’s expectations, the film has been underperforming at the box office. Iulia Vantur recently reacted to the same and also shared Khan’s reaction to the reprised version of her song, Lag Ja Gale, in the film.   During a recent conversation with Mid-day, Iulia Vantur was asked if it was heartbreaking to see Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna‘s Sikandar underperform at the box office. In response to this, she stated, “I think the movie performed extraordinarily well, considering it was leaked before the release. What I also noticed is that his true fans were there for him.” In addition to this, she also talked about her viral song Lag Ja Gale from the film. She revealed that it wasn’t long back that producer Sajid Nadiadwala had heard her singing legendary Lata Mangeshkar’s iconic track. It was then that the producer had promised her that she would be singing it for a film someday. At the time, Iulia didn’t think much …

Box Office: Despite underperforming, Kangana Ranaut’s Emergency WINS against Azaad by a double margin

Box Office: Despite underperforming, Kangana Ranaut’s Emergency WINS against Azaad by a double margin

Published by Parlour News

Emergency, directed by Kangana Ranaut, and starring herself in the title role, has performed poorly at the box office. The Indira Gandhi biopic, from the perspective of Kangana Ranaut, has only managed a global worldwide total of Rs 22 crore. However, there is a silver lining for the movie as it has managed to win the clash against Azaad. Abhishek Kapoor’s Azaad, starring Rasha Thadani and Aaman Devgn, with Ajay Devgn in the supporting role, has only managed to collect Rs 10 crore worldwide. Emergency locked horns with Azaad on the 17th of January, 2025. The Kangana Ranaut movie established a lead over the period-drama from the very first day and it continued till the end of the run. However, what the makers of both movies didn’t see coming are such poor numbers. Both movies have ended as theatrical disasters. Azaad, due to a lower budget and relatively better digital deals, may not burn the pocket of its producers but same can’t be said for Emergency. Emergency, apart from having a bigger budget, also went through …

Did Allu Aravind poke fun at nephew Ram Charan’s underperforming Game Changer? Here’s what we know

Published by Parlour News

Ram Charan delivered a mediocre and slightly underperforming year-end release with Game Changer. Despite the promised hype around it, the political thriller did not live up to the expectations of audiences. Moreover, there has also been somewhat controversy brewing when it comes to the matter of the proclaimed box office collections by the makers vis-a-vis what it has actually minted based on trade experts. Amid it all, Allu Aravind, while attending a pre-release event for his next film, Thandel, made a surprising statement as he shared the stage with Game Changer’s producer Dil Raju.  Well, Allu Aravind talked about Dil Raju to the audience and mentioned how the latter had recently made history. Explaining his context, the senior producer gestured a thumbs down, indicating Game Changer’s underwhelming response. Then, he again showed a thumbs up, indicating the massive response for Sankranti Vasutam.  Finally, Allu Aravind also addressed Dil Raju, who was facing an IT raid at his home. The senior producer said, “Dil Raju made history recently. One movie of his was like this (gestures …

Pay-Cuts In Indian Team? BCCI Keen To Penalise Underperforming Players In Fresh System: Report

Published by Webster

File photo of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma© BCCI/Sportzpics Amid the speculative chatter on big-picture changes in the Indian cricket team, the Board Of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is reportedly looking to introduce variable pay for players which would also allow them to deduct money if performance isn’t up to the mark. The Indian board, in the wake of the recent results in Test assignments against New Zealand and Australia, is looking to opt for a more corporate-like structure where the players could both be rewarded and penalised in monetary form based on their performances. As a fresh system, with the arrival of BCCI’s new secretary and treasurer, Devajit Saikia and Prabhtej Singh Bhatia respectively, begins to take place, many changes can be expected in the way the BCCI functions and handles its players. One of those changes is introducing performance-based pay. “It was one of the suggestions given that players should be held accountable and if their performance is deemed not fit as per expectations, they should face variable pay-cuts,” …

Ex-India Star’s Warning For Underperforming Rishabh Pant: “Has Slacked Too Much”

Ex-India Star’s Warning For Underperforming Rishabh Pant: “Has Slacked Too Much”

Published by Webster

While the entire focus during the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy is on the duo of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, another star performer Rishabh Pant has also been under scrutiny. The wicketkeeper-batter has scored 154 runs in 4 matches at an average of 22. While runs have not come as much as expected from the bat of Pant, his shot selections and batting approach have also been under the radar of critics, of late. Former India cricketer Atul Wassan feels the 27-year-old needs to “think” and “tamper” his game according to the situation. The statement from Wassan comes after Pant was brutally slammed for his performance in the Melbourne Test. Pant ended the fourth Test with scores of 28(37) and 30(104).  Pant faced backlash from fans and former cricketers after India fell to a 184-run defeat in front of a record-attendance crowd at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in the Boxing Day Test. The southpaw gave away his wicket while trying to pull off an audacious shot in the first innings. Former cricketer Sunil …

T20 World Cup 2024: File photo of Hardik Pandya© BCCI/IPL The IPL 2024 is at its halfway stage. By now, there appears a clear demarcation between the teams which are top performing from the laggards.

Maidaan Worldwide Box Office Collection! (Photo Credit – Instagram) Ajay Devgn led Maidaan released on the occasion of Eid but could hardly benefit from the festival. The film was expected to witness a big box office clash with Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, but unfortunately, that is not the case. The biographical sports drama has even remained lower than Akshay Kumar starrer in terms of worldwide collections at the box office. Scroll below for all the details!

Whether it was MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Chak De! India or Dangal, these films attracted a lot of footfall at the ticket windows. But in the case of Ajay Devgn’s film, the pre-release buzz in itself was not upto the mark.
