Man wearing Pakistan jersey argues with security at India-England Test, told to cover up: 'Take me with force'
A video from the recently drawn fourth Test between England and India at Old Trafford has stirred controversy online, after security officials confronted a fan wearing a Pakistan cricket jersey and asked him to cover it. A fan wearing a Pakistan jersey at the India-England Test was asked to cover it up, sparking debate after the video of the incident went viral.(X/@CricketopiaCom) (Also read: Pakistanis react to British man wearing Team India's Dream11 jersey on Lahore streets: 'Is it safe?') Jersey not allowed, says stadium staff The clip, widely shared on X (formerly Twitter), shows the fan sitting among spectators in the stands, dressed in a green Pakistan shirt. Stadium officials can be seen approaching him and stating that jerseys of non-participating countries were not permitted within the venue. The fan, however, firmly refused to remove or cover his jersey, insisting that none of the Indian fans around him were offended or had raised any complaints. At one point, he can be heard telling the security personnel, 'Take me with force.' As the situation drew more attention from fellow spectators, some began filming the exchange. Additional security staff and local police were later seen arriving to manage the scene, which remained peaceful but tense. Watch the clip here: Mixed online reactions The video quickly went viral, prompting divided opinions online. Several users labelled the action discriminatory and unnecessary, arguing that a fan's choice of attire should not be policed in such a manner. On the other hand, many cited venue rules to justify the officials' actions. According to a report by The Times of India (TOI), Old Trafford has a policy in place for international fixtures. The guideline states that fans are expected to wear clothing that supports the participating teams — in this case, England or India. The controversy comes shortly after the cancellation of a World Championship of Legends match between India Champions and Pakistan Champions, reportedly called off due to off-field tensions.

Ben Stokes 'loses respect' after farcical Manchester moment: ‘Why would we want handshake? You had 2 days...'
Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif didn't hold back and said Ben Stokes lost respect during the Manchester Test because of his actions during an altercation with Ravindra Jadeja over the draw declaration. Jadeja and Washington Sundar, who showed grit and determination to take the game away from England, were close to centuries when Stokes asked Jadeja to shake hands and settle for a draw, but the latter refused as they continued to bat. Skipper Stokes and other English players got rattled, resorting to constant chatter aimed at unsettling India's resilient all-round duo. Meanwhile, their bowling effort lacked intensity, with several frontline players seemingly conserving energy rather than pushing for a breakthrough during a draining passage of play. Ben Stokes faced criticism for an altercation with Ravindra Jadeja for denying early draw.(AFP) India was 425-4 in its second innings -- including centuries to Ravindra Jadeja (107 not out), Washington Sundar (101 not out) and skipper Shubman Gill (103) — and 114 runs ahead when an early stumps was called. The all-rounder duo added 203 runs for the fifth wicket. Stokes also looked miffed when the Indian batters finally decided to shake hands for a draw. Kaif expressed disappointment over Ben Stokes' behaviour, criticising the England skipper for appealing to halt the game after failing to dismiss India. He said such actions undermined the respect Stokes had earned over the years, 'Ben Stokes has lost respect because of one moment when he wanted to stop the game," Kaif said in a clip on Instagram. 'Why would we want to do that? You weren't able to bowl out India, had nearly two days to do that. You weren't able to win. I don't understand what he was trying to do by getting the game to stop," Kaif said in a video he posted on Instagram. 'It takes years to earn respect and one moment to lose it' The former Indian cricketer said that the English skipper had a great game with bat and ball but just one bad moment and he lost the respect. 'Ben Stokes bowled so well, scored a century and everybody was lauding him. It takes years to earn respect and one moment to lose it. Today was that moment for Ben Stokes when he lost respect," he added.

Divya Deshmukh Crowned FIDE Women's World Cup Champion! Becomes First Indian To Achieve Historic Feat
Divya Deshmukh defeated Koneru Humpy in the tiebreaks of the FIDE Women's World Cup Final, becoming the first-ever Indian champion of the tournament. Divya Deshmukh etched her name into chess history, defeating fellow Indian compatriot Koneru Humpy with a score of 2.5-1.5 in the tiebreaks of the FIDE Women's World Cup Final to become the first-ever Indian champion of the esteemed tournament on Monday. Deshmukh will now receive $50,000 as their prize money on top of the coveted trophy. The Indian players, who were left tied at 1-1 each after the two classical games in the Final, entered the tiebreaks today to decide the ultimate winner. So, it all boiled down to two Rapid matches of 10 minutes with a 10-second increment after every move. Having won the toss the previous night, Divya once again got the luck of the draw, opting to start the tiebreaks with the white pieces in the first Rapid game. In Rapid Game 1, Divya played her natural game, attacking Humpy out of the gate and forcing the veteran to yet again burn the clock early. With no second time control in the tiebreaks, the pressure was on Humpy to yet again find the draw. The pressure ultimately forced Divya to make an error, who blundered and left her central pawn unguarded, opening the gates for Humpy to come in for the attack. Humpy tempted Divya to take a Queen Exchange, which was denied, and then, with the clock ticking, was forced to sacrifice her Queen in a last-ditch attempt to find the kill. But, as fate would have it, the duo ultimately decided on the inevitable draw, preparing to play for all glory in the second Rapid game. More of the same from the first Rapid game ensued in the second game as well, as Humpy was yet again pushed to her limits, as Divya forced the veteran to burn down her clock effectively. After 30 moves, Humpy, playing with just about a minute left on her clock (compared to Divya's six), found her form yet again under the pump, as a quick flurry of moves ensued amongst the two Indians, who were trying to pry the other's weakness. Divya found her break on move 40, as Humpy blundered with a pawn, allowing the youngster to activate her Queen and hunt for a win against the veteran. But, Humpy fought off the advancing Divya, pushing them to a rook endgame, with the 19-year-old holding an extra pawn. A final-minute blunder from Humpy gifted Divya the window to advance her pawn to potentially be promoted, putting the veteran in a world of trouble. Despite pushing the youngster to a muddy endgame, it was far too gone for Humpy, who ultimately resigned on move 75, gifting the title to Divya. How The Final Unfolded Both finalists already made history, becoming the first-ever Indians to qualify for the semifinals of the Women's World Cup, after which both players went on to schedule the first-ever All-Indian final at the event. Game 1 of the Final was a nail-biting draw, which saw Divya throw away her lead with the white pieces, allowing the veteran Humpy to fight her way back into the game and force the draw. Game 2 on Sunday saw the duo battle it out in yet another fascinating draw, where Humpy seemingly lost the advantage of starting with the white pieces, as the young buck Divya fought her way back to force the veteran to tiebreaks. And the rest, as they say, is history. view comments Location : New Delhi, India, India First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
