Toss drama! RCB captain hands over wrong team sheet, makes bizarre blunder in LSG clash
Image credit: BCCI/IPL NEW DELHI: Royal Challengers Bengaluru stand-in captain Jitesh Sharma won the toss and opted to bowl first against Lucknow Super Giants in Match 70 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium on Tuesday. RCB made two changes to their playing XI, with regular skipper Rajat Patidar still starting on the bench and likely to be used as an Impact Substitute. Despite recovering from injury, Josh Hazlewood was left out, while Liam Livingstone replaced Tim David and Nuwan Thushara came in for Lungi Ngidi. "We will field first. Looks like a good wicket, we'll fancy to chase. Rajat Patidar is our impact player. Looking to win and make it into the top-2. Tim David misses out, Liam comes in, so does Thushara, he replaces Ngidi who left the team," Jitesh Sharma said. More Than a Team: The Rise of CSK & the Whistle Podu Army Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant said the team would stick to their aggressive style of play. LSG also made two changes to their XI, with Matthew Breetzke and Digvesh Rathi coming in. "We don't mind batting or bowling first, we did show the glimpse of the potential in our last game, but every match is a learning curve, till the last ball is bowled, we will give our 100 percent. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Elevate Business Writing With This Desktop App Grammarly Learn More Undo Few changes - Breetzke is in and Digvesh Rathi is back in," Pant said. DRAMA AT THE TOSS There was a moment of drama during the toss. Jitesh Sharma announced that Rajat Patidar would come in as the Impact Player during the second innings. However, the official team sheet had Patidar listed among the starting XI. This confusion occurred because Jitesh mistakenly handed over RCB's batting-first team sheet to the match referee. As RCB were fielding first, they quickly corrected the error by submitting the appropriate team sheet after receiving approval from the LSG team management. The entire mix-up was picked up and narrated by the commentators on live television.

Nikki Bella finalizes divorce with Artem Chigvintsev, agrees to $200K settlement and monthly child support
Image via WWE WWE star-turned-entrepreneur Nikki Bella has officially finalized her divorce from dancer Artem Chigvintsev, ending a turbulent chapter that included public disputes, police involvement, and now a significant financial settlement. Monthly child support and 6-figure settlement confirmed According to legal documents accessed by TMZ, Nikki Bella - whose real name is Stephanie Nicole Garcia, will pay Artem $3,500 per month in child support for their 4-year-old son, Matteo. On top of this, she has agreed to pay him a hefty $200,000 in two lump sums: $100,000 now and another $100,000 by the end of 2025. The former couple will also share other parental responsibilities. While Nikki will cover all costs related to Matteo's speech therapy, both parents will split expenses for the child's extracurricular activities equally. The custody agreement states that Nikki and Artem will alternate major holidays with Matteo every year. Poll Do you believe Nikki Bella will make a successful return to the WWE ring? No, it's too late for her Yes, she will excel Despite the financial obligations, Nikki retains full control of her business interests. These include her entertainment company, Stephanie Nicole Garcia Entertainment, and her wine label Bonita Bonita. The trusts and business assets registered in her name remain untouched by the divorce terms, ensuring her entrepreneurial empire stays intact. Police involvement and restraining orders added to divorce drama The divorce comes after a chaotic end to their two-year marriage. In August 2024, Artem was arrested following an alleged domestic violence incident involving Nikki. He was not charged, and both parties later filed restraining orders against each other - though these have since been dismissed. Artem Chigvintsev Opens Up: Divorce, Fatherhood & Reinventing Himself Speaking on a podcast recently, Artem described the arrest as a life-altering experience. 'It completely ruined everything for me,' he said, expressing frustration that public perception remains negative despite the case being dropped. He claimed he was eager to move on: 'I needed to go back to live my life... emotionally, financially.' Nikki, for her part, remained largely silent throughout the legal process, with the former couple reaching a divorce agreement in November 2024. However, the court only recently finalized it, bringing closure to a high-profile split that made headlines in both the entertainment and wrestling worlds. As the dust settles, Nikki is reportedly training for a possible in-ring return. WWE star Natalya recently confirmed that Nikki has been training privately and 'pouring her heart' into preparation. With a rumored Evolution pay-per-view on the horizon, fans are speculating whether the former Divas Champion could make a surprise comeback later this year.

Is Travis Kelce jealous of Taylor Swift's fame? Body language experts say he's competing, not supporting
Is Travis Kelce jealous of Taylor Swift's fame (Getty Images) In the age of high-profile celebrity romances, few couples have captured the public's imagination quite like Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce . But beneath the Instagram-worthy photos and NFL box seat moments, a growing chorus of fans and experts is starting to wonder—is Kelce truly supportive of Swift's global superstardom, or is there an undercurrent of jealousy bubbling beneath the surface? The major fame imbalance could be triggering insecurity in Travis Kelce According to several body language experts who have been analyzing the couple's public appearances, Kelce may not be as supportive as he seems. 'There are moments during red carpet events or concerts where his posture shifts from relaxed to guarded,' says Dr. Elise Morgan, a behavioral analyst. 'He often leans away from Taylor when she's speaking or being interviewed. That's a classic micro-behavior linked to discomfort or jealousy.' Observers have also noticed subtle changes in facial expressions when Swift is in the spotlight. 'We've seen tight-lipped smiles or forced expressions from Kelce in the background of her big moments,' Morgan adds. 'It's not overt—but body language doesn't lie.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Knochen-auf-Knochen? Diese bionische Kniebandasche reduziert Schmerzen! Wellnee Undo There's no denying that Swift's fame eclipses Kelce's by a wide margin. While he's a beloved NFL star, she's a global music icon with a multi-generational fanbase. That kind of imbalance can take a toll on any relationship. 'When one partner is used to being the center of attention, and suddenly finds themselves overshadowed, it can create a subconscious sense of rivalry,' says celebrity therapist Jenna Collins. Fans on social media have picked up on this dynamic, pointing out moments where Kelce appears disengaged during Swift's career highs. 'He always seems more animated when the focus is on him,' one fan wrote on TikTok. 'But when it's about her? He looks checked out.' Some level of adjustment is natural in a relationship between two powerful public figures. However, experts caution that a consistent pattern of jealousy—especially one evident in public settings—could spell trouble. 'Healthy couples celebrate each other's wins,' Collins says. 'When one partner feels threatened by the other's success, it can quickly become toxic.'

Whether these observations reflect real tension or are just misread signals, fans and experts alike are keeping a close eye on the couple's next public move.
