Siddaramaiah deflects Bengaluru stampede blame, says 'no connection to stadium'
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah attempted to dissociate his government from the Bengaluru stampede tragedy on Sunday, claiming it didn't have 'any connection with the stadium'. Eleven people died and scores sustained injuries after the stampede broke out outside the Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru on June 4 during RCB's IPL victory celebrations. "This incident shouldn't have happened. It happened at the Cricket stadium. I don't have any connection with the cricket stadium," he said at the press conference. Also read: 'My son will not come back': Father of Bengaluru stampede victim says compensation will go to wife, daughter Pinning the blame for the stampede on officials, Siddaramaiah also said that this was the first such incident in the state under his leadership and that they have taken action by suspending several officials. "It was an unfortunate incident, it shouldn't have happened. Such an incident never happened after I became the CM. Prima facie it seems to have happened because of the officials' fault, so we have taken action. Everyone is in pain, including me,' he said. When asked whether now-suspended Bengaluru Police commissioner B Dayananda was being made a scapegoat, Siddaramaiah said that five other officials have also been suspended. Highlighting his government's action in response to the stampede, he said, "My political secretary, K Govindaraj, has been removed. We have taken a series of actions, not just the police commissioner alone." The chief minister also added that it was only at 5.45 pm on June 4 that he got to know about the deaths due to the stampede, while they were reported at the hospital at 3.50 pm.

Siddaramaiah was not present at the event held at the Chinnaswamy stadium on June 4. However, he did attend the felicitation ceremony for the RCB held in front of Vidhana Soudha on the invitation of the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA ) Secretary and Treasurer. The BJP-led Opposition has demanded the chief minister's resignation. Last week, the Karnataka government announced a compensation of ₹25 lakh for the families of those who died in the stampede.

R Ashwin argues with female umpire, hits his pad with bat in anger after getting out in TNPL match
Ravichandran Ashwin lost his cool during Sunday's Tamil Nadu Premier League match between Dindigul Dragons and IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans. Ashwin, who had a rough IPL season with Chennai Super Kings, has returned to action in TNPL, leading Dindigul Dragons in the 2025 edition. The veteran all-rounder came out to bat as an opener after losing the toss to Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore. The move didn't work out well, as Ashwin was dismissed cheaply for just 18 by his counterpart - Sai Kishore. However, the former India all-rounder was not impressed with the umpire's decision and argued with her. It was the fifth ball of the fifth over, and Sai Kishore trapped Ashwin in front of the wicket, and the umpire straightaway gave him out, but the Dindigul opener thought it was pitching outside the leg-stump. He straightaway went to the umpire and argued with her before walking back towards the pavilion. The 38-year-old was livid with the decision and hit his pads hard with the bat in frustration. The Tiruppur bowlers put up a collective show with the ball and bundled out Ashwin and co. for just 93 in 16.2 overs. Shivam was Dindigul's highest run-getter with a 30-run knock, while only three of their batters managed to cross the double-digit mark. Right-arm seamer Esakkimuthu was the pick of the bowlers for Tiruppur with four wickets under his kitty, while Sai Kishore claimed a couple. Chasing the modest target, wicketkeeper batter Tushar Raheja scored an unbeaten 65 to make it a cakewalk for Tiruppur as they won the match by 9 wickets with 49 balls to spare to stamp their domination in the match. Earlier, 38-year-old Ashwin had a forgettable IPL season on his return to Chennai Super Kings, where he started his journey in the tournament in 2009. The veteran all-rounder claimed just 7 wickets in 9 matches and scored 33 runs with the bat. Five-time champions CSK might release him next year, as he has also dropped from the XI in a few matches this year. Meanwhile, last year in December, he shocked the cricketing world by announcing his retirement with immediate effect in the middle of the Test series against Australia. Ashwin retired from international cricket as the second-highest wicket-taker for India in Tests with 537 scalps in 106 games, leaving him only behind Anil Kumble (619 wickets).

Shedeur Sanders makes QB1 intentions clear with iconic diva song during Browns offseason grind
Shedeur Sanders drops diva-inspired post from OTAs, hints he's ready to lead the Browns (Getty Images) As the Cleveland Browns dive deep into Organized Team Activities (OTAs), one name continues to steal the spotlight—Shedeur Sanders. The rookie quarterback, drafted in the fifth round out of Colorado, is making a powerful impression in Cleveland's crowded QB room. But Sanders isn't just making waves with his arm—his latest social media post might have Browns fans humming a surprising pop classic long after practice is over. Cleveland's new QB1? Shedeur Sanders posts OTAs pics with surprise anthem that says it all Shedeur Sanders, the son of NFL legend Deion Sanders, is blending swagger, talent, and marketing savvy to carve out a space for himself in Cleveland. His Instagram post on Saturday didn't just highlight sharp throws and on-field chemistry—it was set to the catchy rhythm of Kylie Minogue's iconic hit, 'Can't Get You Out of My Head.' It's an unconventional move for a 22-year-old athlete and rapper who just released his debut single 'Perfect Timing' earlier this year. But the message is clear: he wants to be unforgettable. That kind of confidence isn't new for Sanders. Despite a dramatic draft slide that landed him in the fifth round, his energy hasn't wavered. He's already shown fans that he's here to compete, not coast. From his laid-back arrival at rookie minicamp in a 'Legendary' outfit to quickly earning early praise over veterans like Deshaun Watson, Joe Flacco, and fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel, Sanders is keeping the spotlight fixed firmly on him. Even when the internet buzzed with rumors that he splurged $500,000 on a luxury car, Sanders coolly brushed it off, showing he's more focused on football than flash. He even made a brief appearance at Travis Hunter's wedding, casually dressed and low-key, before heading back to work. There's a mature balance he's striking—one that hints at a deeper hunger to prove he belongs. The quarterback battle in Cleveland is no small challenge. Standing at 6-foot-2, Sanders may not match Joe Flacco's towering presence, but he's been electric during OTAs. While many rookies might blend into the background, he's been making enough noise to be ranked above his veteran and rookie counterparts by some analysts. Still, it's that combination of charisma and competitiveness that's making Sanders stand out. Whether it's through highlight plays at practice or soundtrack choices that show a self-aware, almost playful side, Shedeur is building a narrative that fans and coaches alike might find hard to ignore. In his own subtle way, Sanders is making a promise—he's not just here for a cameo. As Kylie's voice echoes through his post, the message is unmistakable: 'Can't get you out of my head'—and that's exactly where Shedeur Sanders plans to stay. Also Read: $750K gone!
