Lucknow Super Giants spinner Digvesh Rathi, who was fined by BCCI over his controversial celebration, got into a heated spat with Sunrisers Hyderabad batter Abhishek Sharma during their IPL 2025 match on Monday. The incident took place on the 8th over of the SRH innings after Abhishek was caught in the deep for 59. The youngster looked in sublime form as he slammed 59 off 20 deliveries but he ended up gifting an easy catch to Shardul Thakur . Following the dismissal, Digvesh did his customary book-signature celebration but Abhishek was not happy as the duo got into a war of words. Replays showed that Digvesh gestured towards Abhishek after the dismissal and that could have flared tempers.

Microsoft on Tuesday (May 13) announced it was laying off around 6,000 employees or three per cent of its global workforce to remove unnecessary layers of management as it aggressively pushes into artificial intelligence (AI). The decision sent shockwaves across the tech world, leading to an outpouring of emotions from employees who faced the unceremonious axe. On Reddit, the wife of a Microsoft employee who had worked at the company for 25 years, shared how her husband was "randomly selected by a computer algorithm" for the sack on his birthday. “My husband has worked for Microsoft for 25 years. He was just laid off, randomly selected by a computer algorithm. His last day is this Friday, his 48th birthday,” the wife wrote on the r/TrueOffMyChest subreddit. The woman said her husband was autistic and had multiple sclerosis, but it didn't stop him from consistently showing up for the tech giant, all these years. "Never missed a day of work. Rarely called in sick (...

A job applicant backed out of an interview with a top multinational company after being overwhelmed by an aggressive recruiter who contacted them nearly 60 times over just three days. The experience, shared on Reddit in a post titled "I cancelled the interview!", has gone viral and sparked a broader conversation about recruiter boundaries and candidate privacy. According to the post, between Monday and Wednesday, the recruiter sent four emails, made 15 phone calls, and fired off 45 text messages-some as late as 10 pm. This continued even after the applicant said they had already spoken to the recruiter multiple times and shared all necessary documents via email. "At one point, when I returned one of her calls, someone else picked up the phone. That's when it really felt off," the candidate wrote, calling the behaviour "intrusive and unprofessional." Eventually, the applicant emailed the interviewers directly to withdraw from the process-and still r...

Veteran pacer Ishant Sharma is backing Jasprit Bumrah to lead the Indian team on the tour of England and said Shubman Gill could be handed the job only if the peerless fast bowler is not fit to last the full five-match Test series. The captaincy debate has intensified following Rohit Sharma's retirement from Test cricket, weeks before the Indian team's departure for England for the series that will run from June 20 to August 4. "If Bumrah is fit, I would say Bumrah. That's first choice. He is the only one who has so much experience. But if he won't play all the five Tests matches, then obviously Shubman," Ishant said on Saturday in response to a PTI query on Star Sports Press Room. Bumrah, 31, has previously captained India in the rescheduled fifth Test against England in 2022, and in the first and fifth Tests of the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. However, concerns remain over his fitness. The pacer had undergone a back surgery two years ago du...

India's hunt for the next Test captain seems to be over, with multiple reports suggesting that Shubman Gill is set to succeed Rohit Sharma in the longest format. Gill, who is already India's vice-captain in ODIs and T20Is, seems to be beating the favourite Jasprit Bumrah to the role, leaving many unimpressed. While Bumrah was India's vice-captain in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, leading the first Test in Rohit Sharma's absence, the Ajit Agarkar -led selection committee reportedly prefers Shubman Gill because of the pacer's poor injury record. Gill's impressive show as a leader in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 campaign has also impressed many, instilling confidence in the decision-makers to give the baton to the top-order batter. As per a report in the Times of India , Gill held a lengthy discussion with Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir at the latter's residence when the Gujarat Titans had arrived in the national capital for a match aga...
