Arshdeep Singh coaches Siraj about making videos for Instagram: ‘Sab sikhaana padta hai bowling ko chhod ke'
In a video shared by the BCCI on its social media handles after India's six-run victory, Arshdeep is seen hilariously advising Siraj to film a two-second Instagram Reel. Arshdeep tells Siraj to say the popular catchphrase, 'Pressure? What pressure?' — a line made famous by football legend Alan Shearer during the UEFA Euro 2024 tournament.
Arshdeep, in fact, even tells Siraj to pause for a second after saying 'pressure' for the first time, like a diction and speech coach.
Siraj, who looks confused by Arshdeep's instructions, asks: 'Should I upload a Instagram Story or Post?'
Arshdeep replies: 'Abbey Reel seedha. Do second ki (Make an Instagram Reel of two seconds).'
He then looks at the BCCI camera person and quips: 'Sab sikhaana padta hai bowling ko chhod ke (Other than bowling, have to teach him everything).'
Absolutely 𝗡𝗼 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 taken by Siraj to make this video! 😎#TeamIndia | #ENGvIND | @mdsirajofficial | @arshdeepsinghh pic.twitter.com/qeX2Xl0AQY

Siraj ended the England tour as the highest wicket-taker of the series with 23 scalps in nine innings, including the nine wickets he took in the final Test at the Oval as the leader of the Indian bowling unit in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah.
He took the final wicket of the series, Gus Atkinson's, to complete India's victory over England and tie the series 2-2.
After winning the game for India, Siraj said: 'To be honest, it feels amazing. We wanted to fight hard from Day 1 and to see this result is great. The plan was to keep it simple and hit one spot. When I woke up today I believed that I could do it. And when I woke up in the morning, I went to Google and found an emoji of believe. I put it on my wallpaper and said that I will do it,' Siraj said after the match. He later showed that wallpaper to the media. It featured Cristiano Ronaldo and a solitary word that became his driving force — 'Believe''

Mohammad Kaif on Shubman Gill: ‘He will get the ODI captaincy…how long Rohit Sharma will continue'
There were questions on how Shubman Gill would lead the Indian side on English shores ahead of the series. Not many gave the side a chance, but what transpired in the next few weeks was one of the best Test series in the modern era. While Gill himself acknowledged there are tweaks to be made in his leadership, former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif has given the green flag that Gill is ready to take over the white-ball captaincy as well when Rohit Sharma decides to step down in the format. 'He will get the ODI captaincy as well because we don't know how long Rohit Sharma will continue as captain. Gill is ready to take over. He scores in white-ball. He has performed well as captain here in Tests and led from the front. When you go with a young team, you have to do both things – score with the bat and do well as captain. A brilliant tour for him overall,' he said on his YouTube channel. 'Shubman Gill, as captain, created opportunities with both hands in this series. When he became captain, there were many questions as to why he was made captain, looking at his Test record. A young captain reached England under a lot of pressure with a young team. He answered with his bat and it came to a point where he was compared to breaking Sir Don Bradman's record. Such a strong comeback with the bat,' Kaif said. 'I have more clarity where personally I need to work on as a captain …,' Shubman Gill said after famous win at the Oval. Gill was also taunting those who have questioned his selection calls, criticising him for not including specialist bowlers and backing all-rounders. 'There would always be opinions and, in hindsight, could have done this, could have done that. But I think what matters for me is… in that moment… When your decision goes well, people obviously praise you. When it doesn't go well, I'm aware that there are going to be shots taken at me… I'm fine, because at the end of the day, I know that I made a decision which was the best for our team,' he said.

When Rajinikanth reached Sridevi's door to propose and confess his feelings but couldn't say a word
While ChaalBaaz is often remembered for the unforgettable double role portrayed by the late, legendary Sridevi, who slipped into both characters as effortlessly as water takes to its flow. Fans also fondly recall the on-screen chemistry she shared with Rajinikanth. By the time the film released, the two had already worked together in over a dozen films, becoming one of the most beloved and iconic pairs in Indian cinema. But behind the dazzling performances and cinematic camaraderie lay an unrequited love story few know. During the early years of their collaboration, Rajinikanth reportedly developed strong feelings for Sridevi. Their effortless chemistry lit up screens across Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi cinema. Yet, very few were aware that Rajinikanth once intended to ask for her hand in marriage. Filmmaker K. Balachander, who was instrumental in shaping both their careers, once shared a poignant incident: Rajinikanth had arrived at Sridevi's housewarming party, determined to confess his love. But just as he reached, a sudden power outage left the house in complete darkness. Deeply superstitious, Rajinikanth took it as a sign, an ill omen, and quietly walked away. He never spoke of his feelings again. In 1996, Sridevi went on to marry producer Boney Kapoor. Also Read | Rajinikanth recalls the only time he cried in his life: 'I was working as a coolie, my friend mocked me and gave Rs 2 for…' Their journey together had started decades earlier on the sets of the 1976 Tamil film Moondru Mudichu, directed by K. Balachander himself. Sridevi was just 13 years old at the time, portraying Rajinikanth's stepmother in what would become a landmark film for both artists. It marked Sridevi's first lead role and Rajinikanth's breakthrough performance in Tamil cinema. Off-screen, their relationship was rooted in mutual respect and enduring affection. Rajinikanth shared a close bond with Sridevi's mother, and their families remained connected for decades. When Rajinikanth fell seriously ill during the shooting of Rana, Sridevi reportedly fasted and prayed for his recovery for seven days.
