'Boy Who Changed My Life': Hardik Pandya Posts Heartfelt Note For 'Partner In Crime'
Star India allrounder Hardik Pandya's son Agastya is celebrating his 5th birthday today
Hardik Pandya has penned a heartfelt note and posted an adorable clip with his son Agastya, who is celebrating his birthday today. The India and Mumbai Indians allrounder expressed his love for the little one, who turns five.
Pandya called Agastya 'my angel who inspires me" and emphasised what the cute child means to him as a father.
'My angel who inspires me to be a better person every day! I love you more than you'll ever know and I'm grateful for moments like these where nothing else matters. Happy birthday to my boy who changed my life, my blessing, and my partner in crime," Pandya wrote.
In the clip, Pandya can be seen holding Agastya in his arms and telling him, 'you are my angel", before giving him a lesson on the importance of mic.
'See, whenever you see mic, (you say) mic-testing one-two, one-two," Pandya says while planting a kiss on his kid's forehead.
Pandya then tells Agastya how the mic works. 'Because if you don't put this hear (on the chest), the camera will not get any sound. If I say something from here (mic held near the mouth), they can hear it. But if I put the mic there (far), they can't hear it."
Pandya is currently enjoying a break from cricket duties since the end of the IPL 2025. He is expected to be back in action next month when the Asia Cup 2025 gets underway in the UAE.
The 31-year-old is a regular in white-ball cricket for India. Pandya played crucial roles in the team's two back-to-back title triumphs in ICC events as they won Champions Trophy earlier this year and the T20 World Cup in 2024.

No India vs Pakistan clash at LA Olympics 2028 as Men in Green set to miss out: Report
Those hoping to watch an India vs Pakistan clash at the LA Olympics 2028 are likely to be disappointed, as the ICC has reportedly opted for a qualification process that would see only the Men in Blue make it to the Summer Games. read more The Pakistan cricket team is reportedly set to miss out on the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics as the International Cricket Council (ICC) is planning to opt for a regional qualifying format. Not only Pakistan, another major Test-playing nation, New Zealand, may also miss out on the next Olympics as cricket gets ready for a return to the mega event after a gap of 128 years. The ICC has reportedly decided to provide direct qualification to the number 1-ranked men's team in Asia, Oceania, Europe and Africa, along with hosts USA, who would represent the Americas. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Pakistan set to miss out on LA 2028 Such a qualification system would allow representation from all major continents in the cricket tournament at LA 2028, which is what the ICC feels. 'India and Australia to be awarded spots from Asia and Oceania respectively based on the ICC rankings. The International Olympic Committee favours regional qualifying to ensure all parts of the world are represented at the Games so it is a truly global event,' a report in The Guardian said. While the West Indies – a cricket team made of Caribbean islands – wouldn't have qualified. The report adds that none of the Caribbean islands would also get a chance as the USA from the Americas will be picked in the tournament as hosts. 'That would have implications for West Indian islands hoping to compete,' the report added. As per the qualifying format mentioned above, five teams are finalised for the men's cricket tournament at the LA Olympics, but the process to pick the sixth and final team has not been finalised yet. The men's and women's cricket events at the 2028 Olympics will include six teams respectively. A total of 180 cricketers are set to make Olympic debut in the T20 format as cricket returns to the sports' greatest event for the first time since 1990. The matches will be played from 12 to 29 July 2028, at the Fairgrounds Stadium in the city of Pomena, which is around 50 km, far from Los Angeles. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The only other time cricket was part of the Olympics was in the 1990 Paris Games. The cricket competition included just two teams – Great Britain and France, who played a two-day match. The gold medal was won by Great Britain.

Malayalam Rapper Vedan Booked For Rape After Doctor Accuses Him Of False Marriage Promise, FIR Filed
Kerala Police have registered a rape case against rapper Vedan (Hirandas Murali), accused of repeatedly raping a young doctor after false marriage promises. Rapper Vedan, whose real name is Hirandas Murali, is facing serious allegations after a young doctor filed a police complaint accusing him of rape. The Kerala Police registered the case on Wednesday under IPC Section 376(2), which deals with repeated sexual assault, based on the doctor's statement that Vedan had sexual relations with her over a period of time after promising marriage, as per a report in The Indian Express. The complainant told Kochi city police that the incidents took place between 2021 and 2023. According to her statement, she and Vedan first connected through social media, after which their relationship developed. She claimed that he took her to various places and had sex with her multiple times, promising to marry her. But when he later changed his mind and backed out, she was left emotionally devastated. Since the alleged incidents happened before the new Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita replaced the Indian Penal Code, the police registered the FIR under the old IPC. This is not Vedan's first brush with the law. In April, he was arrested in Kochi under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act for possessing six grams of ganja. He also faced a wildlife case for wearing what was suspected to be a leopard tooth pendant. That incident had sparked debate online, with some accusing forest officials of reacting to it. Recently, the University of Calicut included one of Vedan's songs, 'Bhumi Njan Vazhunnidam (The Earth Where I Stay)," in its Malayalam literature syllabus. The song was meant to be studied alongside Michael Jackson's 'They Don't Care About Us." However, the BJP protested the move, writing to the Governor and asking for Vedan's work to be removed from the curriculum, pointing to his involvement in a drug case.

Ajith Kumar Adds BMW S1000RR Superbike To Swanky Fleet
BMW's flagship superbike finds a spot in Ajith Kumar's growing collection. South actor Ajith Kumar, known for his love of superbikes and racing, has added a new machine to his garage, the BMW S1000RR. A video filmed in Dubai shows the actor riding the superbike out of a hotel parking area. It is nighttime, and Ajith is suited up in riding gear, making for an impressive visual. Ajith has chosen the Light White Uni / M Motorsport colour scheme, which includes sporty M Carbon wheels and M footrests. Ajith has always had a strong interest in bikes. Earlier, he was seen riding a BMW R1200GS in India on road trips. While the R1200GS is more suited for adventure touring, the S1000RR is built for speed and performance, both on roads and race tracks. Ajith enjoys both styles of riding. What Makes the S1000RR Special? BMW Motorrad launched the updated S1000RR this year at the Bharat Mobility Expo. In India, it reportedly costs Rs 21.10 lakh (ex-showroom). The 2025 model gets sharper design updates, new winglets for better downforce at high speeds, and a sleeker side and tail profile. These changes are visible in the video in which Ajith was seen. The bike is packed with top-end features like five riding modes (Rain, Road, Dynamic, Race, and Race Pro), launch control, traction control, hill start assist, and a 6.5-inch digital display. It runs on a 999cc inline-four engine that produces 206.5 bhp and 113 Nm of torque. The superbike can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds and has a top speed of over 300 km/h. Other advanced features include a quickshifter, anti-hopping clutch, and a new short-stroke throttle. Strong Sales in India Despite being a high-end bike, the S1000RR has reportedly found great success in India. As per Cartoq, BMW Motorrad recently delivered the 1,000th unit in Delhi, marking a major milestone. The bike competes with other litre-class superbikes like the Ducati Panigale V4 and Aprilia RSV4 Factory. Its smooth handling, performance, and relatively competitive pricing make it a favourite among Indian superbike fans. Ajith's latest ride is just another reminder of his deep passion for motorcycles and his love for the thrill of the ride. view comments Location : Delhi, India, India First Published: July 31, 2025, 11:37 IST News auto Ajith Kumar Adds BMW S1000RR Superbike To Swanky Fleet Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
