Remove Ravindra Jadeja

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have once again faced a crushing defeat, being knocked out in the first round of IPL 2025 for the second consecutive season. Under Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s captaincy, CSK is stuck at the bottom of the points table, suffering their 10th loss in 13 matches after a 6-wicket defeat against Rajasthan Royals on May 20.

Following this disappointing run, former Indian cricketer and commentator Aakash Chopra has publicly called for the removal of seven underperforming players, with Ravindra Jadeja’s name topping the list.

Players Marked for Elimination

Speaking on ESPN Cricinfo’s Time Out show, Chopra insisted CSK management should act swiftly to rebuild the team by dropping:

  • Ravindra Jadeja (all-rounder)
  • Ravichandran Ashwin (off-spinner)
  • Rachin Ravindra (opener)
  • David Conway
  • Vijay Shankar (all-rounder)
  • Deepak Hooda
  • Rahul Tripathi (middle-order batsman)

Chopra especially targeted Jadeja, who has been a long-time CSK stalwart but struggled throughout IPL 2025.

Why is Jadeja Under Fire?

Chopra criticized the decision to promote Jadeja to the No. 4 batting position, calling it “beyond comprehension.” Jadeja’s performance with both bat and ball has been disappointing this season, scoring just 280 runs and taking 8 wickets in 13 matches.

“It was a mistake to send Jadeja above Dewald Brevis,” Chopra remarked. “If I were the coach, I’d send Brevis to number 4. I want to see Urvil Patel at No. 3 and a quick-scoring partner alongside Ruturaj Gaikwad.”

Need for Fresh Talent

Chopra emphasized the urgent need for fresh, dynamic players in the squad. He pointed out the impact of young foreign players like Noor Ahmed and Pathirana in bowling, suggesting a similar solution in batting by bringing in another Brevis-type player.

Bright Spots in an Otherwise Dark Season

Despite the poor season, spinner Noor Ahmed stood out with 21 wickets, currently second in the Purple Cap race. All-rounder Shivam Dube also shined with 340 runs, ranking 21st among the season’s top scorers.

Yet, CSK’s biggest embarrassment came from losing five consecutive home matches at the Chepauk stadium, winning only once against Mumbai Indians this season.

OSU Goes Viral for All the Wrong Reasons on TikTok

Oklahoma State football has found its way onto the viral radar this week — but not for anything happening on the field.

A recent TikTok clip featuring several players has sparked a wave of secondhand embarrassment across social media, and it’s not the first time the Cowboys have dipped into this territory.

 

It’s no secret that today’s college athletes live in a digital-first world. NIL, personal branding, and content creation are all part of the game now. But there’s a difference between building a presence and turning heads for all the wrong reasons. Oklahoma State’s latest TikTok appearance is, unfortunately, just painfully cringey.

While some schools have leaned into social media as a way to showcase personality and culture, there’s a fine line between fun and cringe. The Cowboys’ recent posts seem to blur that line in a way that hasn’t exactly resonated with the public. If anything, it’s invited the kind of attention you don’t want heading into the season.

None of this is to say that players shouldn’t express themselves. In fact, personality can go a long way in today’s college football landscape. However, when the content feels more like a distraction than anything else, it can become a little out of hand.

It’s unclear whether the coaching staff is aware of how these clips are being received, but it might be worth a conversation. Not every piece of content needs to go viral, especially when it’s for the wrong reasons.

Marquette Kids Club raises money for student

MARQUETTE, Mich. (WLUC) – Kids in Marquette raised money for student-athletes on Wednesday.

The Marquette Kids Club set up a lemonade stand on the corner of Front St. and Ridge St. in Marquette. The club is donating the money it makes to Ainsley’s HALO, a nonprofit that supports Marquette-area student-athletes and hospitals that fight against childhood cancer in honor of Ainsley Kargela.

Volunteers say the Marquette community is very generous.

“I think it says a lot about the people of Marquette,” said Kids Club School Age Program Lead Teacher Sam Cosio. “They’re willing to stop their cars and run across the busy road to help this great cause and talk to these kids and see what it’s all about.”

The Kids Club also said running the stand gave the kids an opportunity to learn about the service industry.

From ColdplayGate to stunning Mia Zelu

In the world that we live in today, there’s no escaping the prying eyes of the digital universe.

Over the past seven days, several incidents have gone viral across the digital landscape. But without a shadow of a doubt, it was British band Coldplay’s concert in the United States that truly broke the internet — and not for their music.

Here, we bring you a round-up of the stories that went viral over the course of the week.

ColdplayGate

As the Jumbotron camera panned towards a happy and smiling couple, the pair immediately moved away and tried to hide their faces as they appeared on the big screen.

Amused by their reaction, the band’s frontman Martin quipped, “Oh look at these two… either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy.”

Soon enough, the couple were identified as Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR Chief Kristin Cabot. Byron is reportedly married to Megan Kerrigan Byron. The incident is now being dubbed ColdplayGate.

The lady, who goes by the name Mia Zelu, is an influencer and has a 165,000-strong following. And Mia went viral after posting plenty of photos of herself at The Championships. Except that she isn’t real. Yes, you read it right.

Mia shared photos of her Wimbledon outing, with an inspirational message: “Your time will come. Keep showing up”. Commenters agreed with her caption and engaged with her post.

A 11-year-old Indonesian boy’s boat-top dance has turned into a global trend, capturing the attention of social media and celebrities, including Travis Kelce and Wiz Khalifa.

The short clip (circulated on social media with a trending audio), which originated from the Pacu Jalur boat racing festival in Riau, Indonesia, shows 11-year-old Rayyan in traditional attire, swaying to the rhythm with simple, composed hand gestures, his gaze steady and expression unreadable.

Aura Farming is a term born from gamer culture, where “farming” means collecting resources. In social media terms, it’s about projecting a vibe so strong, it earns you admiration, likes, reposts, and ‘aura points’.

'His positivity was half the cure'

Patients, athletes, and colleagues are mourning the loss of Dr Anwar Sadath, a well-known orthopedic surgeon in Dubai, who passed away yesterday, at the age of 49.

Dr Sadath was from Kerala and was known for his gentle nature, ethical practice, and deep care for his patients. He was a specialist at Medcare Orthopaedics and Spine Hospital and had over 18 years of experience in treating sports injuries, fractures, and trauma cases. For the past 14 years, he was a part of the Aster DM Healthcare group.

Among those deeply affected by his passing is Indian international handball player Vipin Kumar, who had been receiving treatment from Dr Sadath for many years. “He was more than just a doctor to me. He focused on healing my injuries naturally, through strengthening exercises and avoiding unnecessary surgeries. Whenever I got hurt, he gave me the confidence to recover and keep going. He always reminded me that we were in this together, it was a team effort,” said Vipin.

Vipin had recently returned from an international handball tournament in Taipei and had met Dr Sadath just days before his death. “He told me he was going on a vacation soon. He was so happy and proud every time I brought home a medal. I even spoke about him during a recent radio interview, thanking him for the role he played in my success,” he added.

Another patient, speaking to Khaleej Times, said Dr Sadath treated everyone like family. “He wasn’t just a doctor; he was a well-wisher. He cared from the heart. He would never suggest unnecessary procedures, and his first step was always to calm us down and lift our spirits before starting any treatment. That positivity alone was half the cure.”

Known for his humility, Dr Sadath had a strong connection with many athletes in the UAE. His colleagues described him as a man with a pure heart who always put his patients first. “He had a gift for making people feel at ease. You walked into his clinic with pain and walked out with hope,” said a colleague.

Dr Sadath is survived by his three children. His sudden passing has left a void in the medical and sports community.

He is being laid to rest after Asr prayer at Al Qusais Cemetery, with many of his patients and well-wishers attending the funeral.

Cecconi has career night in Guardians' 8

Johnathan Rodríguez hit his first home run in the majors, Slade Cecconi went a career-long 8 1/3 innings and the Guardians beat the Athletics, 8-6, on July 18.

David Fry also went deep and José Ramírez added a pair of extra-base hits to help the Guardians win for the seventh time in eight games following a 10-game losing streak.

Athletics’ All-Star Brent Rooker hit his 100th career home run. Shea Langeliers added a solo shot in the seventh inning.

Cecconi (5-4) allowed six runs on eight hits with two strikeouts. The right-hander retired the first 12 Athletics he faced before Rooker led off the fifth with a solo shot to left.

Cecconi looked like he would throw his first complete game, but Nick Kurtz and Rooker opened the ninth inning with triples and Langeliers had an RBI double with one out to chase Cecconi.

Miguel Andujar got the Athletics within two runs on an RBI double off Emmanuel Clase, but the right-hander struck out Max Muncy and Denzel Clarke for his 21st save in 25 opportunities.

Rodríguez came into the game 11 for 81 in two big-league seasons before he drove a fastball from JP Sears (7-8) into the bleachers in left-center field in the second inning.

The Guardians broke it open with four runs in the third, including an RBI hit from Angel Martinez, Fry’s two-run homer and Carlos Santana’s sacrifice fly to bring in Ramírez.

Key moment

Cleveland extended its lead to 7-0 in the fourth inning on a two-run double by Brayan Rocchio.

Key stat

It is the first big-league home victory of Cecconi’s career. He was 0-6 with a 7.39 ERA in 17 home games, including 11 starts, in three seasons with Arizona and Cleveland coming into the game.

Up next

RHP Luis Severino (2-11, 5.16 ERA) goes for the Athletics while Cleveland counters with LHP Logan Allen (6-7, 4.00 ERA) on July 19.
