It's his personal favourite. 'KL Rahul's wicket was my favourite because I was kind of under the pressure. I was lucky that the ball swung very late and got somebody like KL Rahul,' he said, The reintroduction of the saliva rule has benefited bowlers.
'It has played a bit of a part because if you look at what the ball does with the saliva on it, even if it means that one out of the 120 balls tears in a little more, that means you get a wicket that's an extra dot ball,' he said. 'And if that happens at a crucial stage when the right batsman gets out, that means you slow down the run rate and you get the momentum back. So, it has a chain reaction kind of a thing. And it definitely helped the bowlers.'

Cam Newton feels ignored by Madden franchise, says EA never treated him like an NFL superstar
Cam Newton finally speaks out on never making the Madden cover (Getty Images) Despite being one of the NFL's most electrifying players during his prime, Cam Newton has never graced the cover of the iconic Madden video game. For someone who was once the face of the Carolina Panthers and a 2015 league MVP, this omission hasn't gone unnoticed—especially not by Newton himself. MVP, Super Bowl run, cultural icon—but Cam Newton still left off Madden cover , and he's had enough The former quarterback recently took to his 4th and 1 podcast to air his frustrations with EA Sports, and it's clear the snub still stings. From 2011 to 2018, Newton wasn't just one of the most recognizable figures in the league—he was a dominant force both on the field and in Madden ratings. Yet, he was repeatedly overlooked while players like Peyton Hillis, Rob Gronkowski, and Odell Beckham Jr. claimed the coveted cover spot. While being passed over for the cover was one thing, Newton is now irked for another reason. EA Sports recently brought in former wide receiver Chad Ochocinco to assist with player ratings in the Madden franchise—a decision that has Newton scratching his head. 'Do you know what these thumbs will do? I've never seen Chad play,' Newton said on his podcast. '... I feel highly disrespected EA hasn't called me for Madden ratings.' Not only is Newton convinced he's a better Madden player than Ochocinco, but he also challenged him to a head-to-head matchup, confidently stating, 'He plays FIFA!' It's not just talk, either. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Concentrated Siberian Ginseng Extract 2oz Superior Ginseng Undo Newton is an active gamer who frequently streams both Madden and College Football 25. He takes the game seriously—not relying on powerhouse teams to mask weak gameplay. 'Scheme, not the team,' he said, proudly claiming that he never uses a team rated 86 overall or higher. Newton also poked fun at how Ochocinco might approach a matchup, suggesting that he'd probably pick a team like the Kansas City Chiefs or Baltimore Ravens—top-tier franchises that give casual gamers an edge. But Newton isn't fazed. He trusts his strategy and skill, not just raw team ratings, to win games. His candid criticism of EA Sports speaks to a larger conversation about how players are recognized—or not—by the media and gaming industries. For Newton, it's not just about ratings or cover appearances. It's about respect. And when someone with his résumé and passion for the game isn't even consulted for feedback, it raises eyebrows. Whether or not EA Sports takes notice remains to be seen. But Newton's competitive fire, even off the field, clearly hasn't burned out.

Hailee Steinfeld reveals bold wedding choices with NFL star Josh Allen, including no phones and a pool party finale
Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen celebrated their marriage in a Santa Barbara outdoor wedding, emphasizing connection through a no-phone policy (Beau Society) Hollywood met the NFL in picture-perfect style when Hailee Steinfeld and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen officially tied the knot on May 31 in a romantic outdoor wedding in Santa Barbara, California. Now, Steinfeld is giving fans a glimpse into their big day—and revealing the one wedding rule that made all the difference. A phone-free celebration that made memories even more meaningful Writing in her Beau Society newsletter, the Sinners star reflected on their no-phone policy, calling it 'one of the best decisions we made.' The idea was simple: make the day about connection and presence, not screens. 'We wanted everyone to come and be present. Looking back, it was one of the best decisions we made,' she shared. 'I metaphorically threw my phone in the ocean before our wedding weekend, and it was the best thing ever. 11/10 recommend being unplugged and present.' — _MLFootball (@_MLFootball) With guests unplugged, all eyes—and cameras—were on photographer Jose Villa, who Steinfeld praised for capturing the magic in nearly two dozen photos included in her newsletter. Pre-wedding breakfast and emotional first look with Josh Allen Breaking from tradition, the couple chose to see each other the morning of the ceremony. 'Josh and I met for breakfast just before 7. I'm so glad we did that,' Steinfeld wrote. 'I don't think I could've gone the whole day without seeing him!' The pre-wedding celebrations featured a welcome party themed 'vibrant elegance,' offering a light-hearted contrast to the formal wedding day dress code of 'all-black black tie.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to UnionBank Rewards Card UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The couple shared dinner with their families the night before, grounding the festivities in intimacy and togetherness.

I've never felt more like myself and more beautiful.' She added sheer gloves, a French Chantilly lace veil, and Mikimoto earrings to complete the look. Josh Allen, meanwhile, wowed in a custom Tom Ford tux. 'He looked like the man of every dream I've ever had,' Steinfeld gushed, joking, 'RIP me.' She walked down the aisle with her father, holding a symbolic 'single crystal rose' instead of a traditional bouquet. The couple didn't hold back when it came to celebrating. The afterparty featured a DJ, cigar bar, 'lots of Angel Margarita,' and late-night comfort food. 'The night ended at 3am with all our friends jumping in the pool in their dresses and tuxes,' Steinfeld shared. 'I didn't jump in (I was wearing feathers), but I took photos, which I'll share once I get our disposables back.'

RCB shredded for ‘error in judgment' during victory celebrations in Bengaluru: ‘Take a day off to just plan…'
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) won their maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) triumph earlier this month after beating Punjab Kings in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Virat Kohli, the long-time RCB talisman finally got his hands on the coveted trophy. As soon as the title was won, Kohli announced that there would be a gala celebration in Bengaluru the next day as the state of Karnataka had waited long enough for the IPL win. However, celebrations took a horrendous turn as a stampede occurred outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, resulting in the death of 11 RCB fans. More than 30 people were left injured. Former India batter Robin Uthappa has weighed in on the issue, saying RCB's trophy win would always be marred by the loss of lives. After the loss of 11 lives, RCB announced INR 10 lakh for all of those families who lost someone from their household during the stampede. Following the incident, RCB's head of marketing and revenue, Nikhil Sosale was also arrested. He was then granted interim bail on June 12 but was asked to surrender his passport. 'The victory will always be marred by the loss of the lives of the people involved. It is so unfortunate that they can't even celebrate the win that they have achieved after so many years, after so much hard work,' Uthappa said on his YouTube channel. Also Read: BCCI to take action after 11 killed in RCB IPL celebration stampede; decision likely on… 'It is going to be marred by this, and so you got to feel sad for the fans and, of course, for the players,' he added. Uthappa, who hails from Bengaluru, said he was really angry upon hearing about the stampede. He also joined Madan Lal and others in saying the victory celebrations could have been planned better. Earlier, several cricket pundits stated that the victory celebrations could have been better organised and not rushed. 'I was angry for almost a day and I really delayed even putting anything out on social media because I was so angry. In a sense, we were talking about a modicum of balance during the rivalries bit right? One can understand that in the celebrations,' he stated. "You really want people to get close to the team and celebrate with them. I certainly think it could have been better planned, maybe take a day off to just plan the whole event because the city did deserve it, to be very honest," he added. Uthappa further stated that going forward, whenever there is an RCB game, he will be left concerned, thinking about the families who lost loved ones during the stampede. 'The sad part is now that whenever there is an RCB game, my heart shudders to think what those families will experience. It just hurts, man. It truly truly hurts,' said Uthappa. 'I just think they didn't have enough time to plan for it. In hindsight, doing it the very next day was an error in judgment,' he added.
