Warriors! KL Rahul's powerful post for two gutsy players goes viral
KL Rahul (Getty Images) NEW DELHI: India's stylish opener KL Rahul shared a heartwarming tribute on Instagram for close friend Rishabh Pant and England's veteran pacer Chris Woakes , applauding both for redefining the standards of the game through their remarkable commitment and willingness to battle through pain for their countries. Rahul posted a collage featuring Pant and Woakes bravely stepping up to bat in critical moments and captioned it: "Warriors. Defining courage and love for this sport." India vs England Day 5: Can India do the UNTHINKABLE at The Oval? Four wickets and 2-2! Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Pant, India's vice-captain, shrugged off a finger injury concern from the third Test and walked in to bat under overcast skies in Manchester during the fourth Test. In the 68th over on Day 1, he attempted a reverse sweep off Chris Woakes and took a painful blow to the foot. His foot swelled instantly, and blood was visible as he removed his boot. Clearly in agony, Pant retired hurt on 37 off 54 balls and had to leave the field on a golf buggy. But on Day 2, with India struggling at 314/6, Pant stunned everyone. With a heavily bandaged foot, the southpaw returned to bat, drawing a loud ovation from the Old Trafford crowd. He kissed the ground, soaked in the atmosphere, and soon began entertaining with his trademark flair. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is this legal?

His valiant knock ended on 54 (75) when Jofra Archer sent his off-stump cartwheeling with a lethal delivery. IND vs ENG: Mohammed Siraj reflects on memorable win at The Oval In the fifth and final Test at The Oval, it was Chris Woakes who displayed similar grit. He injured his left shoulder on Day 1 while diving to stop a boundary. Three days later, with England just 17 runs away from chasing down 374 and down to their last wicket, Woakes emerged from the dressing room with his left arm in a sling, tucked under his jumper, to join Gus Atkinson at the crease. Though he didn't face a ball, Woakes ran between the wickets in visible pain, grimacing with each effort. His brave stand ended when Mohammed Siraj bowled Atkinson, sealing India's dramatic six-run win. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!

Fiction: A young boy is kidnapped just outside Colombo. There are no clues, no demands. What's next?
'Mummy, look at the road,' Devin says. 'Yes, boss.' 'Drive with two hands.' Neja chuckles for his amusement. 'You're a little tyrant.' 'T-I-R-A-N-T,' he says. 'Tyrant.' 'Not quite, but close enough.' 'Close enough isn't good enough. Watch that dog, Mummy. This isn't a race.' 'You sound like your grandmother.' Devin lifts his chin to mimic Loku Madam. He looks out of the window and relaxes enough for his own propensity to speak a lot of nonsense to knock himself out as he falls asleep. Neja passes through the tollbooth on the other side of the expressway, and Google Maps directs her to a road that bisects a paddy field. She notices movement in her rear-view mirror. Devin pushes himself upright, his face pressed against the window. Neja's phone vibrates. Her glances shift between the screen and the road. Not the time to answer. Devin is nosy and observant. 'You look tired, Mummy,' he says. 'We can go home if you like.' Neja knows her boy. He is scared of everything he has not done before. Wanting to go kayaking is about confronting those fears. A middle finger to the bullies who called him a chicken for not going on the class trip. But now he must be having second thoughts. 'We're almost there now,' Neja says. 'The sun's out.' 'But, Mummy, if you're tired, we can go home, and I'll be quiet while you and Daddy Netflix and chill.' 'Don't say that.' Neja laughs. She can't explain that it does not mean, as Ramesh claims, watching television with the air conditioner on. Her phone rings again. The sound is off, but her Bluetooth isn't, so Johnny's unsaved number shows up on the car's display – something she didn't notice the first time he called. Neja waits till it rings off. It rings again. She ignores it again. But she is getting sleepy. She couldn't have gotten more than a couple of hours of drunken sleep the night before. She slaps herself about a little and lowers all the windows, hoping to be stimulated by the smoky, sweet smell of cinnamon as they pass by a plantation, but there is nothing except the aroma of rainwater drying off asphalt, with the occasional hint of cow dung. 'What's that, Mummy?' Devin asks as Neja slows down in the face of a barricade of sticks and a potted plant. There is a piece of cardboard hanging from what looks like a crucifix made from tied-up bamboo. On the cardboard, in black biro, there are letters, each line thickened by multiple strokes. It says, 'Turn here. Road works ahead.' The last thing Neja needs is a detour. She needs the loo. She needs water. She needs to close her eyes. First, she makes the turn, driving up a steep, half-finished road laid with loose stones. She slows the car enough to cut Johnny's seventeenth and eighteenth calls. She opens WhatsApp. There are thirty messages from Johnny Dias, but Neja feels Devin looking over her shoulder. She glares into the mirror and down at her phone. Johnny's first message says: Don't go to the river. Not safe. The next one says: Come back to Colombo, urgently. Neja's heart rate elevates, her head pounds. What's going on? Is Johnny desperate to see her? She wants to read more, but Devin is leaning as far forward as his seat straps will allow. She fumbles with her phone till it drops to the floor, her eyes following it. She presses on the accelerator. 'Stop, Mummy, stop.' Neja has no idea what happens in that moment. Her foot jams on the brake. In front of the car is a male figure, wearing a bucket hat, using a half crutch to beat a woman in hijab, who is holding the handle of a pram with one hand, defending herself with the other. Neja's phone vibrates against her foot, but this time, she doesn't look for it. Her eyes are locked straight ahead. The man in front of the car is trying to pull the woman's hijab off. 'Close the windows, Mummy!' Devin shouts. 'Close the windows!' Looking ahead, Neja doesn't answer. She watches the woman strike the man, but he brushes her off like swatting away a fly. He wrenches the woman's hands off the pram. Whacks her across the face with a closed fist. 'The baby!' Neja shouts. The pram is rocking its way down the hill, gathering momentum. The woman in hijab lies face down on the dirt track. Kicking her legs, screaming, 'My baby!' This is like out of a movie. Slow motion, grainy. But this is no movie. The baby will die if someone doesn't stop the pram from rolling off the side of the hill. 'Wait here.' 'But, Mum…' Kicking open her door, Neja stumbles down the road. Within a few metres of the pram, she dives for the handlebars. She misses. Back on her feet, she looks down at her knees, and everything slows down. The blue of her jeans is browned by the dirt, and it blotches blood-red from the inside. The pram has come to a natural stop against a large rock. Neja staggers towards it. Calls to the baby. Why is he or she not crying? Neja's legs battle forward in small steps. She gets to the pram. Bends down to look into it. There is a pillow. There is a sheet. There is a baby with a doll-like face, round, open mouth. Not a baby. A doll. A doll in the pram instead of a baby. 'Devin. Devin. Devin.' Neja spins on her heels, looking back towards the car, at least thirty metres away now. She trips but catches herself. 'Devin, Devin.' The black roof of the BMW comes into view. The back-left passenger door is open, but it should be child-locked, so Devin can never get out without help. Neja's ribs contract around her organs. A block in her lungs. In her heart. She can't breathe. All else is still. No man in a bucket hat. No woman in hijab. The world is on pause, except for Neja. And she knows before she sees. Devin is gone.

Why is Brock Lesnar's WWE return stirring controversy? Janel Grant's rep reacts to the Beast's glorified comeback
Brock Lesnar's return sparks reaction from Janel Grant's rep. Image via: Elsa/ Getty Images Brock Lesnar's shocking return at WWE SummerSlam 2025 set off fireworks in the arena and a firestorm outside it. As "The Beast Incarnate" dropped John Cena with his signature F5, the MetLife Stadium crowd roared. But the backlash was just as loud. Lesnar's comeback is far from an ordinary WWE surprise moment. It comes with serious controversy, legal implications, and fan outrage linked to ongoing allegations involving Vince McMahon and former WWE employee Janel Grant. Janel Grant's rep reacts to Brock Lesnar's surprise return Brock Lesnar was publicly named earlier this year in an amended federal lawsuit filed by Janel Grant against former WWE chairman Vince McMahon. Though Lesnar is not a defendant, the lawsuit alleges McMahon used Grant as a "s*xual pawn" in contract negotiations with Lesnar in 2021. The allegations are disturbing. Grant was allegedly asked to create "personalized s*xual content" for Lesnar, and a meeting was supposedly set up for a s*xual encounter that never materialized due to Lesnar's flight changes. Following his SummerSlam return, a spokesperson for Grant issued a strongly worded statement. "For far too long, abuse was allowed to thrive under WWE's leadership. Instead of righting this wrong, WWE has done nothing to ensure those responsible are held accountable. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Signs Of Heart Attack That Shouldn't Be Ignored (Take A Look) TheDaddest Undo This attempt to sweep misconduct under the rug will backfire. We look forward to the full set of facts, including those about Mr. Lesnar, coming out in a court of law where they belong but, in the meantime, we refer you back to Janel Grant's updated complaint, which outlines, in detail, the abuse she endured by McMahon and others while employed at WWE. " Lesnar's return was epic and it gave hardcore WWE fans something to cheer for but behind the spotlight, the comeback was always at the risk of controversy. Triple H opens up on keeping Brock Lesnar's return secret Brock Lesnar F5ed John Cena. Image via: Elsa/ Getty Images WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque offered insight into how Lesnar's return was orchestrated. According to Triple H, this wasn't just a creative decision as it was personal, which was rooted in John Cena's retirement run. "This is John Cena's wish list. It's him writing the last chapter of his book," said Triple H during the SummerSlam post-show panel. "One of the very first things I said to [Cena] is, 'Who do you want? And how?' and we're working through that." To preserve the shock factor, WWE went to extreme lengths to keep the comeback secret. Lesnar was flown into a private airport a day before the event and hidden at the venue. Even WWE writers and producers were kept in the dark. The company canceled its usual post-event press conference to avoid tough questions. Reports suggest WWE's legal team cleared Lesnar four weeks before the event. Could Vince McMahon find his way back after Brock Lesnar? Brock Lesnar's return is also raising a more uncomfortable question. Is this a prelude to Vince McMahon testing the waters for his own comeback? McMahon resigned from all WWE and TKO roles in early 2024, following the original filing of Grant's lawsuit. Public trust is fragile. WWE risks undermining its credibility if it treats such serious allegations as minor PR hurdles. While Lesnar himself has not addressed the lawsuit, and no s*xual contact is alleged to have occurred, his involvement in the narrative has already fractured the fanbase. If WWE were to extend the same treatment to McMahon, the blowback could be far more severe. Also Read: Brock Lesnar ends speculation, returns to SummerSlam 2025 to F5 John Cena McMahon's WWE return chances are slim to none at this stage as his case in the lawsuit is far more intense and complicated than Lesnar's. So, it is fair to assume that WWE or TKO would not risk a PR nightmare by putting McMahon back on the throne, especially when WWE is thriving.
