When Australian cricketer Josh Hazlewood refused to shake hands with RCB fan, here's what happened next
Fan interaction with Josh Hazlewood
In the video that has surfaced on social media, we can see a fan dressed in an RCB jersey and standing in the walkway waiting for his idol. It is at that moment that we can see Josh Hazlewood arriving. He can be seen wearing white shorts and beige colored sleeveless tee. The moment he passes by the fan, we hear an exchange of 'Hi' between them. But when the fan extends his hand for a shake, the cricketer simply waves at him and moves away.
Sharing this moment on his Instagram page, the fan wrote, 'One moment. One request. A handshake and an autograph. Hazelwood said no to both. Guess not every fan moment ends with a smile. I'm still an RCB fan... waiting to witness Hazelwood play for RCB.'
The comments section was flooded with reactions. One of the fans wrote, 'Bro he is very humble but sometimes they have some tension or maybe some urgent works so don't mind he is really very humble person.' Another wrote, 'Corona problems dude, in their country.'
Recently, Australia announced its T20I and ODI squads for the upcoming white-ball series against South Africa. Travis Head and Josh Hazlewood mark their return in both formats after resting out for the West Indies tour. The series, starting August 10, will commence the start of Australia's home summer and will be played across Darwin, Cairns, and Mackay.
The team will be led by Mitchell Marsh, with neither Pat Cummins nor Mitchell Starc included. These two are getting an extended period of rest ahead of the home Test summer.

Aaron Donald, Micah Parsons coming to LA is every Rams fan's dream come true - Here's why
Aaron Donald and Micah Parsons are teasing an iconic pair up in Los Angeles, and the Rams faithful are buzzing over the possibility - their legendary DT coming out of retirement and a potential acquisition of Parsons amid troubled Dallas Cowboys negotiations. The speculation comes as quarterback Matthew Stafford is dealing with a back issue and has received an epidural to assist him. Aaron Donald, and Micah Parsons teased a partnership at Los Angeles Rams(File/AP) Aaron Donald-Micah Parsons speculation This dream scenario gained traction after Donald, the Rams' legendary defensive tackle, hinted on Instagram that he might unretire if Parsons joins the team, sparking a frenzy among fans. 'If @_micahparsons11 go to the rams I might have to call @210ths and get in football shape 😂😂 wit that Dline would be unreal 🤦🏽♂️🔥,' Donald commented on a @ramblangman Instagram post. He tagged his agent. With Parsons currently embroiled in a contract dispute and trade request with the Cowboys, recent reports suggest the Rams could be a surprising landing spot. '@aarondonald99 man!!! Dont tell me info like that!! @davidmulugheta,' Parsons replied, tagging Donald and his agent. Aaron Donald's retirement Donald's retirement after the 2023 season left a void in the Rams' defense, where he amassed three Defensive Player of the Year awards and a Super Bowl LVI win. At 34, his physical condition suggests he could still contribute, especially alongside a 26-year-old Parsons, a four-time Pro Bowler with double-digit sacks in each of his four seasons. LA Rams defensive line The Rams' defensive line already features young talents like Jared Verse, Braden Fiske, Kobie Turner, and Byron Young, making a Donald-Parsons duo a potential historic pairing.

Turning it Pope's way: Aussie leggie keen on continuing good run
Though he played a pivotal part in leading his team to the final, Pope sat out in the final, considering the pitch conditions at the Karen Rolton Oval then. "The wicket didn't really spin a lot. Credit to our squad, we had got some very good fast bowlers. They decided to go with the fast bowlers on that day. All I wanted was that to be the right decision and we won the game," he said. He further explained his season where South Australia won both the Shield and the One-Day Cup. "At the start of the year we said the squad's going to win the Sheffield Shield, not just the 11 players. Just to be even named in that squad, that's a huge achievement for me personally. (With regards to what he did) I tried to improve my stock ball trying to make my leg-break an effective ball to get wickets. That probably was not the easiest thing. It took quite a while for me to get to a stage where I feel like on Australian wickets that I am spinning the ball away from the bat and getting a bit of shape in the air and bounce off the wicket. That's quite a small adjustment but quite a hard one to make. I spent a lot of time doing that," he said. Listening to India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja talk on spin bowling, Pope then switched his aim before his delivery. "If I could take one thing away from what he says, it is just hitting the stumps as many times as possible. He is one of the best in the world. I think that's probably been one of the things that I've been focussing on in all formats of cricket for the last 12 months," he added.

Trinity Rodman reacts to Ben Shelton's Toronto win with funny takes on tennis traditions
Trinity Rodman reacts to Ben Shelton's Toronto win with funny takes on tennis traditions (Image via Getty) Trinity Rodman and Ben Shelton have been a couple for less than six months. As Ben Shelton reached the semi‑finals of the National Bank Open in Toronto on August 6, 2025, the Washington Spirit forward posed questions about tennis that even he couldn't clearly explain. She turned to fans with fresh confusion and curiosity. Her post became a bridge between two sports worlds, drawing attention to etiquette, traditions, and the differences between soccer and tennis. Trinity Rodman asks tennis questions after Ben Shelton wins quarterfinal On August 6, 2025, Ben Shelton beat Alex de Minaur in Toronto in straight sets (6‑3, 6‑4) to advance to the National Bank Open semi‑finals. Trinity Rodman, 23, watched from afar and shared a TikTok video asking tennis fans for help understanding the game. She admitted that she asked Ben Shelton about tennis rules but his answers left her more confused. One question she stressed: why do players raise their hand and say 'sorry' when they win a point after the ball hits the net? She compared it to scoring off the post in soccer and apologising to the goalkeeper, something she found puzzling. She also wondered why tennis players must act so reserved after winning a point, as showing strong emotion can be seen as cocky. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like What Happens To Celebrities That Go To Jail? Undo Trinity Rodman pointed to the strict traditions at events like Wimbledon, where players and even fans wear all white, a rule she doesn't understand compared to soccer's varied jerseys. She joked that a match between Ben Shelton and Flavio Cobolli felt like a 'Spider‑Man meme' because they wore nearly identical outfits. Trinity Rodman wrapped up the video by suggesting two changes: let players choose the music during changeovers and extend the 90‑second break between games. She said long waits can cause missed bathroom breaks or lost games. Her video drew over 137 comments from fans who didn't think her questions were 'stupid'.
