Bhaiya chuna theek hai ya aur lagau?: Rishabh Pant's flop show sparks meme fest
Lucknow: Rishabh Pant became the center of a meme storm after another underwhelming performance in IPL 2025. The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain managed only 2 runs off 5 balls against Punjab Kings (PBKS), leading to intense trolling on social media. Fans took to Twitter and Instagram, flooding timelines with memes mocking his struggles, with one viral joke comparing his batting to a failed wall painting job: "Bhaiya, chuna theek hai ya aur lagau?"
Pant, the most expensive player in IPL history at ₹27 crore, has had a rough start to the season, scoring just 17 runs in three matches. His failure to perform under pressure has not only raised questions about his batting but also his leadership as LSG captain.
Adding to the internet frenzy, old comments from Pant resurfaced where he had expressed relief at being picked by LSG instead of Punjab Kings. Now, with his form declining, fans are using those statements against him, amplifying the online trolling.
Meanwhile, on the field, LSG struggled after opting to bat first. Their innings crumbled early, and despite a 172-run total, PBKS chased it down with ease, securing an 8-wicket win. Prabhsimran Singh (69) and Shreyas Iyer (52*) led the charge for Punjab, leaving LSG with much to reconsider before their next game.

Ex-Army officer assaulted, robbed at gunpoint by woman he met through matrimonial website
Mathura(UP), Apr 5 (PTI): A retired Army colonel from Haryana has filed a police complaint here, alleging that he was held hostage, assaulted, looted and forced to participate in an "obscene video" at gunpoint with a woman he met through a matrimonial website, police said on Saturday.
The woman from Mathura, who was allegedly in on the plan to rob him, was working with other accomplices, the ex-armyman said in his complaint filed on Thursday.
According to Barsana Station House Officer (SHO) Raj Kamal Singh, Colonel Rajneesh Soni (retired), a resident of Gurugram, reported that he was contacted by a woman from Barsana on a matrimonial website in January. The woman allegedly agreed to marry him, and they began communicating.
The woman allegedly persuaded the colonel to visit Barsana on January 25, requesting that he visit the Radharani temple. When he arrived, she arranged for his stay at a guest house and took him on a tour of the area, including a visit to the temple, the complainant said.
After returning to the guest house, the woman and her accomplices allegedly told the colonel that her brother had been involved in an accident and they needed to leave immediately. They then led him to a waiting car.
"Once outside the town limits, the colonel alleges that he was attacked by the occupants of the car. They seized his phone, physically assaulted him, and forced him to contact relatives and friends to transfer money," the SHO said.
"He was then taken back to the guest house, where he was allegedly forced to participate in obscene videos and photographs at gunpoint. He was threatened that the videos would be made public if he reported the incident," the officer said.
The colonel has alleged that his purse, bag, gold chain, debit card and Rs. 12,000 in cash were stolen from the guest house.
After an unsuccessful attempt at locating the perpetrators himself, the colonel finally reported the incident to the Barsana police two days ago, he said.
"A case has been registered under relevant sections of the BNS and all facts are being investigated. Further action will be taken as per facts found in the investigation," the SHO said.
