This cricketer wants to marry Parineeti Chopra, now wants to take Kareena Kapoor on a date; His name is...
There was a time when fans were crazy about Bollywood's famous actress Kareena Kapoor Khan. Kareena has won hearts with her acting and is often in the news for her stunning looks. Indian cricket team's star all-rounder Hardik Pandya has also admitted to being a fan of Kareena. He once expressed his desire to take her on a date. Interestingly, the now-divorced cricketer had also expressed his wish to marry Parineeti Chopra at one point.
Hardik Pandya is currently living a single life. He got divorced from actress Natasa Stankovic
last year. However, before marrying Natasa, it was Parineeti Chopra who had his heart. This revelation was made by the Indian cricketer during a conversation with Karan Johar at Koffee With Karan Show.
Once, Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul appeared on director-producer Karan Johar's talk show Koffee with Karan. During the episode, Hardik openly expressed his heartfelt desires in front of Karan and Rahul. In the rapid-fire round, he revealed that he would like to take Kareena Kapoor on a date.
Although Hardik named Kareena Kapoor as someone he'd like to take on a date, his choice for marriage was not Kareena, but Parineeti Chopra. He revealed during the rapid-fire round that he wanted to marry Parineeti. However, that never materialised.
In this Koffee With Karan episode, Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul talked about their relationships, crushes, favourite movies, actors and actresses. While Rahul chose his words very carefully while replying to Karan Johar's questions throughout the show, it was Hardik Pandya who boasted about hooking up with multiple women and even spoke about how open he is with his parents.
The cricketers were even trolled for their sexual remarks. For example Pandya answered a question saying, 'When I lost my virginity, I came home and said, 'Main karke aya hai aaj (I had sex today)'. At a party my parents asked me 'acha tera wala (women) kaun sa hai [who is your interest here?] so I said yeh, yeh, yeh (pointing out women)' and they were like 'waah proud of you beta'.'

Team India embarks on a new red-ball era in Old Blighty
Sporting transitions are often intimidating and discomforting. Personnel change, demands shift, goals are reset and targets revised. In cricket, where captains often mould teams in their own image, a change at the helm brings about an entire identity switch. Tricky phase Navigating this in-between phase is tricky, for the feeling of unease and apprehension can mess with the strongest of minds. Fail, and the critics will yearn for the stars from the bygone period. Succeed, and there will be over-the-top praise in the superlative. As far as acid tests go, this ranks among the toughest. It is this nervous and unforgiving space that India finds itself in. The first of five Test matches against England starting here at Headingley on Friday marks the beginning of a fresh World Test Championship cycle for both sides and the wise men of Indian cricket have placed their complete trust in 25-year-old Shubman Gill — set to be India's 37th Test captain — to dispel the anxiety and kick-start a brand new red-ball era. This is no ordinary transition. Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and R. Ashwin — three of India's greatest match-winners — are no longer there. Shuffling roster Mohammed Shami isn't fit and even the genius of Jasprit Bumrah is at the mercy of his body. Gill's own numbers — 1893 runs from 32 Tests at 35.05 — are far from great. The Champions Trophy victory in March might be the most recent memory of the National team, but the fact remains that India is coming in after back-to-back series defeats in whites – against New Zealand at home (0-3) and Australia away (1-3). The last time it lost two on the trot was when it lost four on the trot to South Africa, New Zealand, England and Australia from December 2013 to January 2015. India is also looking for its first series triumph in England since 2007. Since that 1-0 success under Rahul Dravid, India has gone 0-4, 1-3 and 1-4 on three subsequent tours to the Old Blighty. Brush with Bazball The most recent sojourn in 2021-22, where it came within touching distance of a victory (2-2), was India's first brush with Bazball, the aggressive style introduced by coach Brendon McCullum. The fifth Test of that series was postponed by nearly a year to July 2022 because of a Covid outbreak, and under McCullum's stewardship and Ben Stokes' leadership, England chased down 378 in Birmingham to record a famous win. To replicate this approach, England needs pitches to be relatively flat. But that may disincentivise its largely inexperienced bowling line-up — but for Chris Woakes and Stokes — which may be looking at the turf for some help. However, the fickle English weather and the Dukes ball's pronounced seam, which makes the cherry wobbly all day, keep all bowlers in play. Huge test A five-match series is also a searing examination of endurance and concentration levels. Modern-day Tests may be shorter and teams may be needing fewer overs to bundle out the opposition, but a lot of the cricket is explosive and strenuous. Maintaining fitness and mental sharpness across 50 days is no joke. Of course, the beauty of longest format is that players and teams can occasionally afford to drift in and out of a contest like in a best-of-five-sets tennis match. But as the recent Roland-Garros final proved, victory will always belong to the most tenacious.

ISL's future up in the air over MRA deadlock
The ISL kicked off on Oct 12, 2014 and was recognised as India's top tier domestic league by FIFA and AFC in 2019. Mohun Bagan Super Giant won a double of Shield and Trophy in 2024-25, a feat previously only achieved by Mumbai City Panaji: There is growing suspense over the future of the Indian Super League (ISL) after several clubs were told by organisers of Indian football's top-tier league that the next edition will not kick off unless there's clarity on the Master Rights Agreement (MRA). Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL), a joint venture between Reliance and Star which runs the league, are commercial partners of the All India Football Federation (AIFF), with whom they signed a 15-year MRA in 2010. According to the agreement, FSDL pays AIFF an annual fee of Rs 50 crore or 20% of the total revenue, whichever is more. The agreement ends in December this year. 'Since last week, senior FSDL officials have met club owners individually and they have been told that ISL won't kick off, unless the future of the MRA is clear,' a source told TOI on Wednesday. 'Everyone knows that the MRA cannot be finalised overnight. Moreover, with Supreme Court expected to finalise the new (AIFF) Constitution, everyone is on tenterhooks.' Since the meetings in Mumbai, clubs have gone slow with their operations and are now re-drawing strategies. While most clubs have kept major player signings for the next season on hold, others are delaying start of their pre-season training, unsure whether the league will kick off on Sept 14, as noted in AIFF's tentative calendar for the 2025-26 season. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Should clubs, as expected, push forward their pre-season training, participation in the Durand Cup could be hampered. At least two clubs have verbally told the organisers that it might be difficult for them to participate in Asia's oldest football tournament, which will be played across five states between July 23 and August 23. According to sources, FSDL is keen to continue its association with Indian football, but unlike the previous cash deal, they have now suggested formation of a new holding company that governs and operates the ISL, with participating clubs (60%), FSDL (26%) and AIFF (14%) as the shareholders. 'FSDL reached out to AIFF early this year and had set timelines, according to which the signing of the term sheet was to be completed by April 30,' said the source. In April, the AIFF instead formed an eight-member task force to look into the MRA negotiations with its commercial partner, a move that did not find favour with some members. Former India captain Bhaichung Bhutia even told the executive committee to wait till the Supreme Court finalises the new constitution. The Supreme Court later asked AIFF not to take any decision on the renewal of the MRA until the final order, which is expected after the Full Court working days resume from July 14. 'The draft constitution of the AIFF states that India's top league should be managed by the AIFF. The draft also states that the seniormost league should be owned, operated and directly managed by AIFF. Its roles cannot be assigned to any other entity or organisation,' said the official. One club official described the situation as grim. A couple of others though said FSDL could eventually seek a six-month extension and complete the season, providing stakeholders with enough time to prepare for future challenges. 'Everything will depend on the Supreme Court order,' said a club CEO. 'Once the AIFF Constitution is finalised, we have to check the status of the top-tier league. There is also a possibility of elections happening in the next few months, so a lot can change. As clubs, an important stakeholder, it's important that we get at least a year to handle the unexpected changes.' The ISL kicked off on Oct 12, 2014 and was recognised as India's top tier domestic league by FIFA and AFC in 2019.
