3 GTA 5 characters that we don't want to see in GTA 6

3 GTA 5 characters that we don't want to see in GTA 6

GTA 5 gave us some
legendary
characters. But not every face from Los Santos needs a VIP pass to Vice City. With GTA 6 dropping a new duo, fresh setting, and updated vibes, some characters are better left in the past.
Some stories are better left finished, and some personalities? Yeah, we've had enough. Here are three characters that should stay in the past, for everyone's sake.
Devin Weston was a BAD villain I Grand Theft Auto 5
1. Devin Weston
Devin Weston was meant to be hated, and Rockstar nailed it. A billionaire tech mogul dripping with arrogance, Weston was the face of corporate greed. But let's be real: he wasn't deep, he wasn't layered, and by the end of GTA 5, we'd all had enough of his smug face.
GTA 6 promises nuanced characters and morally gray storylines. Weston, with his one-dimensional 'rich guy = evil' energy, just doesn't fit that mold anymore. His role was essential in GTA 5's satire, but Vice City deserves better villains.
2. Wade Hebert
Wade was meant to be Trevor's goofy sidekick, but instead, he felt like a weird fever dream you couldn't wake up from. Childlike, awkward, and completely out of sync with the tone of the game, he added little to nothing to the narrative.
His scenes were more cringe than comedy.
With GTA 6 reportedly doubling down on realism and story-driven depth, Wade would stick out like a sore thumb. Leave the clown shoes at home.
The "Very Pointless" Lamar Missions of GTA 5
3. Lamar Davis
Yes, Lamar gave us some hilarious moments. That roast? Legendary. But that was
one moment
. Beyond that, he was stuck in a loop of clowning Franklin, causing chaos and dragging the plot sideways. He never really evolved or grew, and by the end, he felt more like a loud side quest than a true supporting character. In GTA 6, we need characters with depth, not just background noise. Lamar's charm wore off fast, and while we love a good meme, his return would just feel forced.
Not every character needs a sequel. GTA 6 has already shown signs of growth with new cities, deeper protagonists, and a world that feels more alive. To match that, it needs a fresh cast, not recycled side-characters stuck in old formulas.

'Can you share Virat Kohli's number?': R Ashwin foils scam attempt by fake ‘Devon Conway' after IPL 2025

Ravichandran Ashwin recounted a strange episode post-IPL 2025, when he became the target of an unusual scam in which someone posed as Devon Conway. The veteran recalled the incident after a similar incident occurred involving Rajat Patidar, whose old SIM card was reassigned in Chhattisgarh, inadvertently leading to calls from Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers to an unsuspecting new user. Ravichandran Ashwin recalls an incident when a fraudster asked for Virat Kohli's number.(PTI) Ashwin shared that he got a WhatsApp message from someone posing as his CSK teammate Devon Conway. The chat began innocently, with casual greetings and talk about MLC matches to make the story sound genuine. Since he didn't have Conway's number saved, he initially thought it was really him. Ashwin grew suspicious when the supposed Conway suddenly asked for Virat Kohli's contact number. He didn't want to create any misunderstanding with the real Conway and decided to share a different number instead. "After the IPL got over, one guy messaged me claiming to be Devon Conway, 'Hi buddy, how are you?' and I also responded that we'll stay in touch. You're playing in MLC; I'll watch the games and all that talk. He then asked, 'I've missed Virat Kohli's number, can you share Virat's number?' I thought Why is he asking Virat's number. I thought I should ask him, but I didn't want Devon Conway to misunderstand. Then I picked Virat Kohli's card and gave him a different number," Ashwin said on his YouTube channel. Ashwin bluffs the fraudster The veteran all-rounder revealed how the events that unfolded confirmed his suspicions, as he managed to outwit the scammer by cleverly calling their bluff. "Once I shared it, he replied, 'I've lost a few more numbers.' I asked him whose numbers, he responded, 'Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni.' I got suspicious and then asked him a question, 'I gave you a bat this year, how's that bat?'. He said the bat is amazing, and I've not even gave him any bat, he lied and I blocked him instantly,' Ashwin added about the encounter. Realising the scam, Ashwin later confirmed it by checking Conway's number on the CSK official WhatsApp group and went on to block the scammer's number.

Salman Khan could've owned an IPL Team, here's why he said no: 'Pachta rahe...'

Many Bollywood stars have significant investments in the IPL (Indian Premier League). Shah Rukh Khan and Juhi Chawla are the owners of three-time champions KKR (Kolkata Knight Riders), while Preity Zinta is one of the co-owners of IPL 2025 finalist PBKS (Punjab Kings). Bollywood's superhero Salman Khan is also very interested in cricket and often tweets about the IPL. An old tweet of his for Preity Zinta's team went viral after Punjab reached the final of IPL 2025. However, Khan is not the owner of any IPL team. On Sunday, he made an interesting revelation that he was offered a team back in 2008, when the IPL first began. Why doesn't Salman Khan own an IPL team? During an event in Mumbai, when asked if he was interested in buying an IPL team in the future, the 59-year-old star replied in his signature style, 'I have become too old for the IPL.' Salman further said, 'IPL was offered to me a long time ago, but I didn't take it at that time. Now it's not like I regret it. I'm happy very happy. I took part in the ISPL league: tennis ball, street cricket, the kind I can play. Big leagues are not within our reach; we are grassroots players, and we're good here.' Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has bought the New Delhi franchise, stepping into the Indian Street Premier League (ISPL). This team will join the league from Season 3 (2025). The ISPL already features several celebrity team owners, including Amitabh Bachchan, Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Akshay Kumar, Suriya, Hrithik Roshan, and Ram Charan, each representing teams from different cities. Salman's entry is expected to raise both the competition and the excitement. The New Delhi team will aim to make its mark in true Dabangg style, while fans will enjoy the fresh experience of seeing their favorite star as the owner of a cricket team. In Season 2 of the Indian Street Premier League, Majhi Mumbai won the title. This time, in the third season, the mascot of ISPL is Googly Bhai. The league's core committee includes Tendulkar, Asian Cricket Council member and cabinet minister Ashish Shelar, Meenal Amol Kale, and Suraj Samat. Their mission is to connect grassroots talent with professional cricket opportunities. After buying the team, Salman Khan said, 'Cricket resonates like a heartbeat in every street, and when that energy reaches the stadium, a league like ISPL is born. I have always been passionate about this game and am very excited to be associated with ISPL. This unique league not only promotes grassroots cricket in India but also provides an important platform for talented players.'

CSK's biggest masterstroke: AB de Villiers applauds Dewald Brevis's 41-ball hundred

Legendary South African batter AB de Villiers has hailed Chennai Super Kings' acquisition of Dewald Brevis as possibly the franchise's biggest masterstroke ever, following the 22-year-old sensation's scintillating 41-ball century in the second T20 International against Australia at Marrara Cricket Ground, Darwin."There was such a golden opportunity for IPL teams to pick up Dewald Brevis at the auction! Missed out badly. CSK either got very lucky, or maybe pulled off the biggest masterstroke ever. The boy can play @BrevisDewald," AB de Villiers wrote on X, reflecting the widespread admiration for the Proteas Brevis etched his name in the history books on August 12 by becoming the first South African to score a T20I century against Australia. Coming in at No. 4 during only his ninth T20I appearance, he blitzed his way to 100 runs off just 41 balls—the second-fastest century by a South African in men's T20I innings was a masterclass in power hitting and timing. Brevis dispatched nine fours and eight towering sixes, often dominating the Australian bowling attack with fearless strokeplay. Notably, he became the first South African batter to hit more than five sixes against Australia in a Brevis's explosive knock, the record for the highest score by a South African in a T20I against Australia was held by Hashim Amla, who scored 97* off 62 balls in Cape Town in 2016. Brevis not only shattered that record but also became the youngest South African to reach a T20I he raised his bat to acknowledge the roaring crowd, helmet off and a radiant smile lighting up his face, it was clear this innings was one for the ages. For CSK, securing Brevis's talents at the IPL auction now looks like a stroke of genius that could pay dividends for years to come.- EndsMust Watch
