A recent controversy has erupted regarding Team S8ul, where some fans suggested boycotting the team. Here's why:

However, Goldy, a prominent figure in the BGMI scene, clarified:
"Jo bhi esports hota hai, usmein jiska roster hota hai, uska flag lagaya jata hai. Falcons (a leading Saudi esports team) also have the Australian flag. Does that mean they lack resources?"

When Every Tourist On Eiffel Tower Vibed To ‘Aaja Sanam Madhur Chandni Mein'
Last Updated: The video shows the group singing the legendary Hindi song Aaja Sanam Madhur Chandni Mein. A group of Indian travellers transformed Paris's iconic Eiffel Tower into an impromptu Bollywood concert spot. Captivating passersby, they performed the classic Hindi song Aaja Sanam Madhur Chandni Mein, a romantic melody from the 1951 film Chori Chori, originally sung by legends Lata Mangeshkar and Manna Dey. The beautifully shot video captures the trio singing in perfect harmony near the Eiffel Tower, with spectators, many of them tourists from around the world, enjoying the soulful performance. Some are seen clapping along and swaying to the tune. This enchanting blend of classic Indian music against the stunning Parisian backdrop created a magical atmosphere that resonated deeply with viewers. The video's caption read, 'Every tourist enjoyed Indian song with us at the Eiffel Tower, Paris, France." It quickly went viral, earning praise for the group's spontaneous and heartwarming musical tribute. Indian music has often bridged cultural and language divisions, with people across nations appreciating it. Weeks back, Deanna Leigh, a 23-year-old travel vlogger from the United Kingdom, posted a hilarious video on Instagram about how she unexpectedly fell in love with India's 'Swach Bharat" jingle. She said, 'I heard it all the time in Jodhpur. I thought it was just a fun song people sang every morning." Deanna had no idea that the catchy tune blaring from loudspeakers was a call to take out the trash. She said, 'I didn't know. I just thought it was a cheerful morning tune." Sharing her opinion, Deanna wrote, 'My new favourite song in India! At one point, this was all I would hear in the mornings. I had no clue what it meant… but damn, what a banger!" In the video, a garbage truck is shown rolling down the street while playing charming music, leaving Deanna both amazed and fascinated. Prasoon Joshi wrote the song Swachh Bharat Ka Irada, which was sung by Kailash Kher. First Published:

Singapore Open: Satwik-Chirag sign off with semifinal finish
Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty's gritty run at the Singapore Open Super 750 came to an end in the men's doubles semifinals, as the Indian pair went down fighting in a tense three-game contest against Malaysia's Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik here on Saturday. The former world number one Indian pair squandered the advantage of an opening game win but saved as many as seven match points before losing 21-19, 10-21, 18-21 in a high-intensity 64-minute clash. Facing a familiar opponent who had ended their Paris Olympic hopes, the Indian duo—currently ranked world number 27 after battling health and fitness issues — showed their class by pocketing the opening game. However, they struggled with the drift in the second and couldn't recover after giving away a healthy lead in the decider. It was their third semifinal finish this year, including the last four finish at India Open and Malaysia Open earlier in the year. Despite the defeat, the last-standing Indian contenders this week displayed immense grit and character. They had entered the contest with a 3-9 head-to-head record against the Malaysians, though they had defeated them in three successive meetings, including the Asian Games semifinal and the Indonesia Open final. However, their last encounter had ended in a loss during the Olympic quarterfinals. It was a nervy start from both pairs with no real rallies, as points came largely from soft errors, leading to a 6-6 deadlock early on. There was a flurry of smashes from the Indians and a sharp interception from Aaron Chia, but the engagement between the two sides remained minimal. A thunderous smash from Chirag brought India level at 8-8 before two Malaysian errors and a crisp return from Satwik handed them a three-point cushion at the mid-game interval. The Indians served well and despite a few wide hits from both Satwik and Chirag, they maintained a 15-12 lead. Aaron and Soh closed the gap to 14-15, but Aaron's netted return helped the Indians regain control. Chirag sent one long, but Satwik's powerful smash gave them a 17-15 edge. A forehand error from Chirag allowed the Malaysians to level at 18-all. Soh then hit one long and followed it with a smash into the net, gifting India two game points. The Malaysians saved one, but Aaron faltered at the net to hand the Indians the first game. The Malaysians staged a spirited fightback, jumping to a 5-0 lead in the second game. Satwik and Chirag managed to win a 32-shot rally to get on the board, but struggled to find rhythm in tricky conditions, committing soft errors and misjudgements. Also read | AFI to give special focus to 4x100m relays after mixed fortunes at Asian Athletics Championships Soh committed a rare service error, but Aaron's razor-sharp return pushed the Malaysians ahead 10-3. Chirag's miscue at the net gave the Malaysian pair a 13-7 lead at the interval. A backhand shot from Chirag hit Soh's face, but the Malaysians continued to dominate, surging ahead 14-7. Miscommunication and unforced errors further hurt the Indian pair, as Satwik sent a serve long and Chirag drove one into the net. The drift made matters worse with another shuttle landing well inside the baseline, allowing the Malaysians to earn 10 game points. They converted at the first opportunity to force a decider. In the final game, the Indians trailed 1-2 early on before winning a grueling 42-shot rally with a series of powerful smashes. The two pairs exchanged the lead with tight serves and intense exchanges. Chirag showed variety with a forehand return and a defensive overhead push, but the Malaysians opened up an 8-6 lead after an Indian error. Avoiding lifts to the Indian attackers, Soh targeted Chirag's body with a cross-court return to extend their lead to four points at the final mid-game interval. The Indians tried to mount a fightback with a few attacking rallies, but errors continued to haunt them as they trailed 9-14, leaving them with an uphill task. The Malaysians remained relentless, inching closer to the finish line at 18-12 after a couple of Indian errors. Aaron and Soh earned nine match points, but nerves crept in as the Indians saved seven. Eventually, Soh closed it out by drilling one down on the eighth opportunity, sealing the match and securing a third successive final appearance for the Malaysian pair.
