Mayank Agarwal solves mystery of 2019 photo with ‘mysterious’ hand on Rishab Pant’s shoulder
The curiosity and long-standing mystery surrounding a 2019 photograph featuring several prominent Indian cricketers, has finally been solved after four years. The photograph, which included MS Dhoni, Jasprit Bumrah, Mayank Agarwal, Rishabh Pant, and Hardik Pandya, had garnered considerable attention on social media due to an intriguing detail.
Posted on Hardik Pandya's social media account with the caption "Boys' day out," the image captured the five cricketers in a jovial moment. However, what piqued the curiosity of fans was the presence of an unidentified hand resting on Rishabh Pant's shoulders.
The photograph, shared on July 4, 2019 just two days before India's victory over Bangladesh in Birmingham and shortly after a win against Sri Lanka in Leeds, quickly became a viral sensation. Internet users embarked on a quest to decipher the mystery behind the elusive hand, prompting numerous speculations.
While Dhoni's hands were clearly visible, and Bumrah's left hand rested on MS Dhoni's shoulders, the identity of the hand on Pant's shoulders remained elusive.
Finally, after years of speculation and countless debates, Mayank Agarwal himself put an end to the suspense. Taking to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Agarwal confirmed that it was his hand on Rishabh Pant's shoulder. He humorously wrote, "After years of extensive research, debates, and countless conspiracy theories, let the nation finally know: It is MY hand on @RishabhPant17's shoulder. PS: Any and all other claims are misleading and not true."

Vadodara varsity staffer held for stalking, intimidating student
Vadodara, Jan 12: An associate professor of a university in Gujarat's Vadodara has been arrested for allegedly stalking and intimidating a woman student, police said on Sunday.
Mohammed Azhar Dheriwala, an associate professor of Hindi at the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda (MSU), allegedly harassed the student and threatened to end her career, an official from Sayajigunj police station said.
Dheriwala, who has been associated with MSU for 23 years, was arrested on Saturday night.
Police inspector Z N Dhasura said the accused was earlier suspended based on the recommendation of the University's internal complaints committee (ICC) of the women's grievance redressal cell (WGRC) after another student accused him of sexual harassment.
The complainant, a second-year Master of Arts student, has alleged that Dheriwala approached her on the afternoon of January 4 and asked her to accompany him to his house.
When she refused, he allegedly threatened to end her career and even followed her to her residence, she stated in her complaint.
Dhasura said a case was registered under sections 78 (stalking), 352 (intentionally insulting someone to provoke a breach of peace) and 351 (2) (criminal intimidation) of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS).
