Shah Rukh Khan Cried In Toilet Over KKR's IPL Losses, Told Him To Change Uniform Colours: Numerologist
Since the inception of the Indian Premier League in 2008, Shah Rukh Khan's Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have emerged as one of the most exciting and resilient franchises in the tournament's history. Backed by star power off the field and a legacy of fighting spirit on it, KKR has lifted the IPL trophy three times. Recently, numerologist Swetta Jumaani claimed that the team only started to win after she suggested that they change their jersey colours.
Speaking on the YouTube channel Hindi Rush, Swetta said that Shah Rukh sought numerology advice for her IPL team, Kolkata Knight Riders. She said, 'Shah Rukh Khan is our client for KKR. We changed the uniform of KKR; we told them what colour combinations to take."
She added, 'It is because of that that they won three IPL trophies. I had read him talking about how he would cry in the toilet over KKR losing matches in IPL. Then we had suggested to them to change their uniform from black and gold to purple and gold, now they have got three cups." KKR made this change in 2010.
For the unversed, KKR has qualified for the IPL Finals four times, and has won three of those times. After several underwhelming seasons, KKR finally found its rhythm in 2012 under Gautam Gambhir's leadership. Facing Chennai Super Kings in the final, KKR chased down a daunting total of 190 runs. This victory marked KKR's maiden IPL title and ended years of inconsistency, redefining the team's brand and belief.
Two years later, KKR showcased their consistency by lifting their second trophy against Kings XI Punjab. Once again under Gautam Gambhir's leadership, KKR sealed the win with three wickets and three balls to spare, reaffirming their status as one of the top IPL sides.
After a decade-long wait, KKR returned to the winner's circle in 2024 after they bowled out a high-flying Sunrisers Hyderabad for a paltry 113 runs. KKR's captain in the IPL 2024 season was Shreyas Iyer. As of 2025, Kolkata Knight Riders have lost the IPL final only once in 2021 to Chennai Super Kings. The team was captained by Eoin Morgan.

Here's what Kamala Harris did to shut out negativity post 2024 election loss against Trump
Kamala Harris, long known as a self-described foodie, is no stranger to the comforting power of a good meal. After losing the 2024 presidential election to Donald Trump, Harris found herself overwhelmed by a wave of negativity. Instead of diving back into the news cycle, she turned to cooking shows for escape. Harris on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Kamala Harris appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert for her first televised interview since the election loss. Colbert commented, 'First of all, you look rested.' Harris joked that she was, and after asking about Colbert himself, she discussed how she managed the aftermath of her defeat. When asked, 'How long before you turned on the news again?' Harris replied: 'Months, Months, I, you know, I'm just not into self‑mutilation, and I just, I, yeah, lots of cooking shows.' She added that 'The Kitchen', a cooking show where hosts prepare simple dinners, play trivia, and share meal tips, is 'one of my favorites.' Cooking as comfort and control For Kamala Harris, the kitchen isn't just a place for food, it's where she regains her sense of self. In the chaos that followed her 2024 election defeat, cooking offered her something rare: control. Back when she was crisscrossing the country as a senator, Harris once said, 'Everything else can be crazy, I can be on six planes in one week, and what makes me feel normal is making Sunday‑night family dinner.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Container Houses Cyprus (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search ads Search Now Undo That same instinct led her back to the stove after the loss, when she could barely bring herself to watch the news. Instead of spiraling, she turned to flavors, textures, and recipes. Her love for cooking traces back to her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, who told her early on, 'Kamala, you clearly like to eat good food. You better learn how to cook.' It stuck. Over the years, Harris built up a collection of cookbooks, favorites include Marcella Hazan and Alice Waters, and has even talked about writing one of her own someday. During the campaign trail, that passion showed up online. Her short series 'Cooking With Kamala' gave viewers a peek into her unpolished, everyday kitchen self. She chopped onions with practiced ease, cracked eggs one‑handed, and even swapped spice jar stories with Mindy Kaling while making masala dosa. From YouTube to the home kitchen During her 2020 campaign, Harris hosted a short YouTube series called 'Cooking With Kamala.' She confidently demonstrated cooking skills, like cracking an egg one-handed and slicing onions, earning praise even from chef Tom Colicchio. In one viral video, she and actress Mindy Kaling prepared masala dosa and discovered that both grew up storing spices in Taster's Choice jars. Her home kitchen reflects her passion: enamel skillets, a gas stove, and a crock full of cooking tools, signs of someone who cooks often and joyfully.

‘Had a touch with death, literally': Matthew Hayden opens up on ‘scary incident' in Dharamsala during India-Pakistan conflict
The 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) had to be briefly suspended due to cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan. The suspension started with a match between the Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings literally being abandoned after 10.1 overs were bowled in Dharamsala. In the months since, there have been a few accounts from players, notably Australia women's captain Alyssa Healy, whose husband Mitchell Starc was playing for the Capitals, and now, former Australia batter Matthew Hayden has revealed how the entire incident unfolded for the commentators. 'I'd flown from Mumbai overnight to Delhi because there wasn't a connecting flight with Punjab's home ground (for that game) Dharamsala. Magnificent ground. But by the time I landed in Delhi, there was no airport open,' said Hayden on the All Over Bar The Cricket podcast. 'It was at the time that coincided with the incursion of Pakistan back into India and we were talking drones navigating across the skies, taking out ground to air missiles and it was just eerie. We had to take a car via Chandigarh up to Dharamsala. That's a 11 and a half, 12 hour drive. By the time we reached the venue we were told the game was about to proceed.' The first signs of something unusual unfolding were the lights at the stadium going off. While it had seemed like a technical issue on air, eventually the whole stadium went dark and reports emerged of the venue being evacuated due to threat of a drone strike. A number of major Indian cities had done blackout drills during that period. Hayden said that the commentators were told before the match that the lights going out will not be a technical issue. 'But half an hour before we went on air we were given a security message that if the light towers were to to go out, it's not a technical issue. It's actually a sign that the venue has been compromised and there will be an emergency evacuation response and we will proceed,' he said. 'I was mid-sentence with my usual garbage on air and the first light tower goes out so I've let the spectators and fans know that it has gone out. Then the second goes almost immediately. Next minute security came in like a blanket. Dropped my mic literally mid-sentence and we were ushered out of the ground,' he said. Hayden noted that the IPL has been a 'great survivor' considering the myriad events it has managed to see through over the course of its existence. 'It's been a great survivor and it's lasted incredible events historically for India. It got moved in the second year to South Africa due to elections. We had Covid and it seemed to survive that we moved to Dubai over to the middle east,' he said.
