India’s new era in Test cricket under captain Shubman Gill began on a disastrous note, as the visitors suffered a five-wicket defeat against England in the opening match of the five-Test series at Headingley, Leeds. Despite five centuries being recorded across both innings by the Indian batters, their efforts fell short as England successfully chased down a daunting 371-run target. Fielding proved to be India’s Achilles heel, with six dropped catches in the first innings and an even more costly show in the second—particularly by Yashasvi Jaiswal.

Jaiswal had a torrid time in the slip cordon, dropping four catches in the second innings alone—the most ever by a player in a single Test innings.
One of those misses was Ben Duckett, who was on 97 at the time. Duckett went on to score 149, guiding England comfortably home. The young batter’s poor outing was made worse by a video that went viral on social media, showing him dancing and smiling near the boundary at long-on shortly after dropping Duckett’s crucial catch. Fans were quick to slam his attitude, viewing it as a lack of seriousness in a high-pressure situation.

The backlash was swift and intense, with social media users questioning Jaiswal's focus and dedication, with even the short clip of him engaging with the English crowd seconds after an expensive blunder feeding the fire of India being criticized for lack of sharpness on the field.

However, former India all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin stepped in to defend the youngster, urging critics to understand the challenges of fielding in England. “There has been some talk about his catching at a slip cordon. Yes, he has found it tough. But let's all just understand something—and cut [him] some slack—which we often fail to do: how difficult it is to catch, not just in English conditions. It's cold weather, and it's also about the feel of the Duke's ball. It can take some adaptation time. The SG ball feels nice and comfortable inside the hand; the Kookaburra feels smaller. The Duke's is harder and definitely, from a field perspective, feels bigger, and it's not easy,” Ashwin explained in a video shared on X.

His comments drew a mixed response, with some fans appreciating the perspective, while others remained critical of Jaiswal’s costly lapses in a match that could’ve had a different outcome with better fielding.

<![CDATA[RJ Mahvash hits back at trolls who claim Yuzvendra Chahal is responsible for her career success.]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/rj-mahvash-hits-back-at-trolls-who-claim-yuzvendra-chahal-is-responsible-for-her-career-success/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/rj-mahvash-hits-back-at-trolls-who-claim-yuzvendra-chahal-is-responsible-for-her-career-success/ Sat, 21 Jun 2025 12:30:07 GMT

RJ Mahvash has finally addressed the wave of trolling and ongoing speculation surrounding her career, particularly claims linking her success to cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal. In a video posted on June 20, Mahvash directly responded to online critics by presenting evidence of her longstanding career in the media industry. She made it clear that her achievements predate any association with Chahal, highlighting that she had already established herself well before the dating rumors began.

Speculation around Mahvash’s personal life gained momentum following Yuzvendra Chahal’s divorce from Dhanashree Verma in March 2025. Her continued presence at Punjab Kings’ IPL matches and her attendance at the Champions Trophy 2025 final in Dubai, where India clinched the title, further fueled dating rumors. Despite this, Mahvash has repeatedly maintained that she and Chahal are just friends and that she is currently single.

The video she shared on Instagram, captioned, "Jab tak khud ke liye nahi bologe, koi tumhare liye nahi bolega," featured her direct response to a troll’s comment, “Yuzi bhai ne iska career bana diya.” Mahvash replied, “2019 se iss industry mein hoon, aao dikhati hoon apna career,” and followed it with a montage of her media work—from hosting radio shows and cricket events to producing the Bollywood film Section 108 starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Responding to those questioning her cricket knowledge, she added, “Cricket pitch tak pohach gayee abto to ye, cricket ke baare me kuch janti bhi hai ye,” and included visuals of her interviews with MS Dhoni, Chris Gayle, Shane Watson, and Harbhajan Singh.

RJ Mahvash shuts down trolls with career milestones

In her video, Mahvash also responded to a troll claiming that her access to celebrities began only after her link-up with Chahal. She countered by showing photos with Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Rashmika Mandanna, Vicky Kaushal, Ayushmann Khurrana, and more, proving her deep roots in the entertainment industry. She didn’t stop there—Mahvash showcased her roles as an author and as the lead actress in Amazon Prime's Pyaar Paisa Profit, along with snippets of her award show appearances.

Ending her video with a powerful message, Mahvash declared, “Itni toh tumhari umar bhi nahi hai jitna lamba mera career raha hai. Scientist baap ki bachi hoon, aur baaki ka talent Amazon pe dekh lena.” She then stood firmly by Chahal, stating, “Main poori duniya ko bolungi ki jisey main jaanti hoon, woh super-talented hai. I will never back down from supporting a friend.” In response, Chahal commented on her post, “Respect! More power to you!”
