Did Rajasthan Royals opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi fail Class 10 board exams? Here's the truth
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on May 15, 2025, 10:10 IST
As CBSE announced the Class 10 and 12 board results, social media was abuzz with a bizarre claim — that 14-year-old Rajasthan Royals sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi had failed his Class 10 exams. The post quickly went viral, leaving fans puzzled: is the IPL's young hero struggling in academics?
A widely shared satirical post suggested that Suryavanshi failed the exams and that the BCCI had hilariously requested a 'DRS-style' review of his answer sheets due to alleged evaluation errors. But here's the truth — the entire claim was a joke.
Vaibhav hasn't failed — or passed — Class 10
In reality, Vaibhav Suryavanshi is not even in Class 10 yet. According to reports, he is currently a student of Class 9. So the question of him failing or passing the 10th board exam simply doesn't arise.
Vaibhav's IPL rise continues to stun fans
Vaibhav became a sensation during IPL 2025 when he smashed a six off his very first ball and went on to score a 35-ball century — the second-fastest in IPL history and the fastest by an Indian, breaking Yusuf Pathan's previous record of 37 balls.
In five matches this season, the young prodigy has scored 155 runs at a blazing strike rate of 209.45, hitting 16 sixes and 10 fours. However, despite his individual brilliance, Rajasthan Royals have exited the IPL 2025 playoff race.
Conclusion: The viral claim of Vaibhav Suryavanshi failing Class 10 is false and meant as satire. The young cricketer is currently in Class 9 and continues to focus on both cricket and academics.

Former Bengals Linebacker Germaine Pratt Signs With Raiders
Former Bengals Linebacker Germaine Pratt Signs With Raiders originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Cincinnati Bengals' defense has been a topic of consternation for much of the offseason. The unit helped waste a season of quarterback Joe Burrow's prime and the Super Bowl chances that come with it. After the early stages of free agency and the NFL Draft, it may not have gotten much better. Advertisement The Bengals are currently without their best defensive player, edge rusher Trey Hendrickson, as he holds out in search of a better deal. His new partner in crime (and potential replacement), edge rusher Shemar Stewart, hasn't seen the field because of a Cincinnati-style game of unnecessary hardball. Making matters worse, the Bengals cut linebacker Germaine Pratt months after he requested a trade. His replacement, linebacker Demetrius Knight II, also remains unsigned. Cincinnati's former linebacker signed with an AFC competitor on Wednesday, putting pen to paper with the Las Vegas Raiders just days after hitting the open market. His contract, a one-year deal, is worth up to $4.78 million. 'Sources say Germaine Pratt had a very hot market after being released by the Bengals and had several teams interested in him,' Jordan Schultz reported. Advertisement 'The Raiders ultimately made the most sense with the opportunity he'll have with Pete Carroll and DC Patrick Graham's defense.' Pratt had a rocky 2024 campaign, although he remained productive against the run, logging a career-best 143 tackles. Despite logging two interceptions for the third consecutive season, he was a part of a back-seven that struggled immensely, and his coverage woes may have helped run him out of town. However, Pratt is positioned to bounce back with the Raiders. Head coach Pete Carroll has made a career out of exceeding expectations on defense. Defensive coordinator Patrick Graham did that in 2024, leading a league-average defense with one of the NFL's lesser rosters. Perhaps cutting Pratt is the best for both sides, giving him a second chance to flourish and new defensive coordinator Al Golden a chance to shape the second level in his vision. Given Cincinnati's actions across the defense this offseason, though, some will be less willing to give the staff the benefit of the doubt. Advertisement The Raiders will not play the Bengals in 2025, barring a date in the AFC playoffs. With how competitive the conference looks to be, Pratt could play an outsized role in both teams' fates.

The chaotic Kalshi ad during the NBA Finals was made with AI for $2,000. The guy behind the clip shared how he made it.
An AI-generated ad for Kalshi, where you can bet on real-world events, aired during an NBA Finals game. PJ Accetturo, a self-described AI filmmaker, described his process for creating the ad. Here's how he used Google's Gemini chatbot and Veo 3 video generator to make the "most unhinged" ad. A farmer floating in a pool of eggs. An alien chugging beer. An older man, draped in an American flag, screaming, "Indiana gonna win baby." The chaotic scenes are all part of a new AI-generated ad from sports betting marketplace Kalshi, which aired Wednesday during Game 3 of the NBA Finals. "The world's gone mad, trade it," the commercial's tagline read, following the 30-second collection of surreal scenes. In a recent thread on X, the ad's director explained how he made the clip for just $2,000. "Kalshi hired me to make the most unhinged NBA Finals commercial possible," PJ Accetturo, a self-described AI filmmaker, wrote on Wednesday. "Network TV actually approved this GTA-style madness." Accetturo said he made the ad using Veo 3, Google's latest AI video generator. A Kalshi spokesperson confirmed to BI that the company hired Accetturo to make the ad and that it was generated entirely using Veo 3. "Kalshi asked me to create a spot about people betting on various markets, including the NBA Finals," Accetturo wrote on X. "I said the best Veo 3 content is crazy people doing crazy things while showcasing your brand. They love GTA VI. I grew up in Florida. This idea wrote itself." He said that he started by writing a rough script, turned to Gemini to generate a shot list and prompts, pasted it into Veo 3, and made the finishing touches in editing software. To write the script, he said he asked Kalshi's team for pieces of dialogue they wanted to include, then thought up "10 wild characters in unhinged situations to say them." Accetturo said that he got help from Gemini and ChatGPT for coming up with ideas and working them into a script. A screenshot he posted of this stage of his process showed dialogue like "Indiana gonna win baby" and "I'm all in on OKC" alongside characters like "rizzed out grandpa headed to the club" and "old lady in front of pickup truck that says 'fresh manatee' in a cooler behind her." Accetturo said he then asked Gemini to turn every shot description into a Veo 3 prompt. "I always tell it to return 5 prompts at a time—any more than that and the quality starts to slip," he wrote on X. "Each prompt should fully describe the scene as if Veo 3 has no context of the shot before or after it. Re-describe the setting, the character, and the tone every time to maintain consistency." Accetturo said it took 300 to 400 generations to get 15 usable clips. "We were not specifically looking for an AI video at first, but after getting quotes from production companies that were in the six or seven figure range with timelines that didn't fit our needs, we decided to experiment, and that's when we made the decision to go with AI and hire PJ," the Kalshi spokesperson told BI. "Given the success of this first ad, we are absolutely planning on doing more with AI." The spokesperson said the video went from idea to live ad in three days, cost roughly $2,000 to make, and is on track to finish with 20 million impressions across mediums. Accetturo told BI that he was "paid very well for the project" and now makes a "lot more as an AI director" than he did for live action contracts, which often involved weeks of work before and after the shoot compared to the few days the Kalshi ad required. "The client got an insane ad for a great rate on a blistering timeline, and I got paid really well, while working in my underwear," he said. Read the original article on Business Insider

West Spotlight: Five committed prospects on flip watch
Rivals national recruiting director Adam Gorney takes a look at five West commitments that could be at risk to flip their pledges before the end of the year. THIS SERIES: Five committed Southeast prospects on flip watch | Midwest prospects on flip watch | Florida prospects on flip watch MORE GORNEY: QB dominoes | Biggest storylines heading into huge recruiting weekend | Finalists beginning to crystallize for top prospects CLASS OF 2026 RANKINGS: Rivals250 | Team | Position | State CLASS OF 2027 RANKINGS: Rivals250 | Team | Position | State TRANSFER PORTAL: Full coverage | Player ranking | Team ranking | Transfer search | Transfer Tracker RIVALS CAMP SERIES: Rivals Five-Star heading back to Indy | Rivals Five-Star roster | Schedule/info Texas A&M landed a commitment from Moala in late October and the four-star edge rusher from Lawndale (Calif.) Leuzinger has shown no significant signs he's considering a flip other than taking a bunch of visits to other schools. Advertisement Washington got him on campus recently and Moala loved the NFL-style environment in that program. UCLA, Michigan and Notre Dame are working hard to flip him as well while Texas should get a visit before all is said and done. A good sign for the Aggies, though, is that after all his visits this month, Moala closes things out from June 20-22 in College Station. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH TEXAS A&M FANS AT Oklahoma landed Odom's commitment in January as the four-star receiver from Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco has a phenomenal relationship with position coach Emmett Jones and others in Norman. He feels very supported there, plus he loves the Sooners' history of throwing a lot to their receivers. Advertisement But Washington is pushing very hard. Florida State, Miami and Texas are all involved. In Seattle, position coach Kevin Cummings is like an 'older brother or an uncle' to Odom and Bosco alum Jaleel Wadood is on staff as well. Oklahoma coach Brent Venables has two 6-7 seasons in his first three years. If the Sooners struggle again – or Venables is clearly on the hot seat – that could be a major concern for Odom down the stretch. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH OKLAHOMA FANS AT The high four-star slot receiver from Mission Viejo, Calif., has been committed to Georgia since November and he loves the program and its development. However, this weekend's trip back to Athens is crucial in his recruitment. Advertisement Washington loves Spafford and is working to flip him. UCLA is another program involved but that seems like a longer shot. The biggest threat to Georgia is Miami as Spafford loves the offense, the surroundings in South Florida and seems to fit with the culture there. Georgia has some work to do this weekend to keep him in the class and he'd be a perfect slot in that offense, too. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH GEORGIA FANS AT Terry committed to Michigan State super early as the 2027 four-star safety from Tustin, Calif., picked the Spartans on Dec. 1. There have been a lot of changes since then. Close friend and position coach Demetrice Martin departed for UCLA. And Terry has landed nearly every offer in the book. Advertisement It's actually a surprise Terry has stayed committed this long as it's a testament to the job the rest of Michigan State's coaching staff has done. But now with lots of other major Big Ten offers and SEC looks – along with the idea of playing for Martin in Westwood – it would be a major surprise if Terry lasts with the Spartans until signing day for the 2027 class. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH MICHIGAN STATE FANS AT Washington and Florida State are the biggest threats to flip Williams, who committed to Texas A&M three days after Christmas and has given no serious signs that he's heavily considering a flip just yet. Advertisement The Seminoles feel like a long shot as USC, UCLA, Colorado and others have poked around. The one to watch here would be the Huskies as they had him on campus recently along with many other top prospects. He'd get to stay closer to home, play in the Big Ten, come back to Southern California and play some games, and he has a great relationship with that staff.
