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.

Dharmasthala mass burial case: Two complainants appear before SIT in Belthangady
Belthangady: Two people, Purandara Gowda and Thularama Gowda of Dharmasthala, who had earlier filed complaints in relation to the Dharmasthala mass burial case and claimed to have witnessed the burial of bodies, spoke to the Special Investigation Team (SIT) officials on Wednesday.
Prior to the meeting, Purandara Gowda told reporters that he used to own a shop situated on River Nethravathi. “While at the shop, I had seen bodies being buried, in all likelihood, by the anonymous witness. I have, however, seen more than one person being involved in this work at the first and 13th sites identified by the witness,” he has said.
Thularama Gowda has said that he had seen the burial of bodies at sites beyond those identified by the witness. “The SIT will be provided the information on the matter,” Gowda added.
