Suryavanshi's dream IPL debut
Vaibhav Suryavanshi, just 14 years old, has become one of the biggest talking points of IPL 2025. Playing for Rajasthan Royals, he has impressed fans and experts with his fearless batting and calm presence at the crease. Despite RR having a poor season, Suryavanshi's performance has been one of the few positives.
In his final league stage game on Tuesday, Suryavanshi smashed 57 off 33 balls and helped Rajasthan Royals beat Chennai Super Kings by 6 wickets. In just his third game of the season, he hit the second-fastest century in IPL history and became the youngest-ever to do so.

Disha Patani takes U-turn after denied entry at Mumbai airport. Here's what happened
Bollywood actor Disha Patani was out and about in the city. She reached the Mumbai airport on Sunday morning. While she was ready to jet off to a new location probably for work and leisure, the actor ran into an unexpected problem at the airport. She was denied entry at the airport. But why? Turns out, the actor forgot to carry her passport. She was not allowed to enter the airport after she failed to show her identity proof at the terminal. In a now-viral video, she was seen returning back to her vehicle and making her way to her house in disappointment. The video was shared by a paparazzi account. Disha kept it simple for her travel. She wore a see-through beige top with a black bralette and white jogger pants. She paired them with white sneakers for an effortless airport look. Reacting to her paparazzi video, a user wrote in the comments, 'She is just a normal human being so.' 'Moye moye,' added another user. One more commented saying, 'Celebrity stunt.' On the work front, Disha Patani's last release was the Tamil film, Kanguva. The action film was directed by Siva, starring Suriya in the lead role. It also had Bobby Deol playing the antagonist. Kanguva was released last year. Prakash Raj, Yogi Babu, KS Ravikumar, Harish Uthaman, Kovai Sarala and Vasundhara Kashyap appeared in supporting roles in the film. Disha will be next seen in the upcoming, Welcome To The Jungle, alongside Akshay Kumar, Jackie Shroff, Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Aftab Shivdasani, Arshad Warsi, Johnny Lever, Rajpal Yadav, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, Raveena Tandon, Lara Dutta and Jacqueline Fernandez. She is also set to make her Hollywood debut in a supernatural action-thriller called Holiguards. The film is even more special as it officially marks Kevin Spacey's directorial comeback after more than two decades. The film also stars Dolph Lundgren, Tyrese Gibson and Brianna Hildebrand. While Disha has been appearing in selective films now, the actor keeps marking her attendance at events. Earlier this year, she made headlines with her performance alongside Karan Aujla at the opening ceremony of IPL 2025.
