The sequence unfolds with Peddi's dynamic actions -- running, jumping through vast paddy fields, and finally stepping onto the cricket field. His powerful move of stepping out of the crease, slamming the handle of the bat onto the ground, and knocking the ball out of the park delivers an adrenaline-charged moment that gives goosebumps and leaves you craving for more.
The visuals captured by R Rathnavelu were enhanced by
AR Rahman
's powerful tunes in the first shot.
Now, Delhi Capitals has released a video that seems to be on the same lines. The video, which the IPL franchise shared on X with a post saying, "Bas ek hi kaam hai - fight for Dilli. (There is just one job - Fight for Delhi), begins with
K L Rahul
saying, " How can we find a way to win? You come out of your own head and start thinking team, team, team..."
Then, there is a voice over that says that we only live once and that you live it in only one way. Whatever it is you need to do, you need to do it on this ground." Statements, like 'There is no backing down' and 'no excuses' get flashed in between shots of Delhi Capital players training for Monday's match. Finally, the video ends with a DC player playing a shot similar to the one played in the 'Peddi' video.

Shannon Sharpe reaches private settlement in explosive civil r*pe case
Shannon Sharpe reaches private settlement in explosive civil r*pe case (Image Via X) A big legal fight ended on July 18, 2025, when Shannon Sharpe and his accuser reached an agreement. No details were shared about the deal. The news was first shared by the accuser's lawyer, Tony Buzbee, and reported by TMZ, Sports Illustrated, and the New York Post. Until now, Shannon Sharpe had denied all claims, calling them a 'shakedown.' Both sides have now agreed on a private resolution. How Shannon Sharpe and Jane Doe reached settlement Shannon Sharpe (57, former NFL star and ESPN analyst) and Jane Doe (the woman who filed the suit) agreed to end their legal dispute. Jane Doe filed a $50 million lawsuit in April 2025 in Nevada, saying Shannon Sharpe sexually assaulted her twice,once in late 2024 and once in early 2025 after they met at a gym in Los Angeles in 2023. The lawsuit also described emotional abuse and threats. On July 18, 2025, lawyer Tony Buzbee posted on Instagram: 'After protracted and respectful negotiations, we have reached a mutually agreed upon resolution. All matters have now been addressed satisfactorily … the lawsuit will thus be dismissed with prejudice'. That means the case is closed and cannot be filed again. Shannon Sharpe has denied wrongdoing. His legal team said the relationship was consensual and that Shannon Sharpe offered $10 million before the case was filed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Do you have a mouse?

Tony Buzbee and public reaction on the case Tony Buzbee (Jane Doe's lawyer) confirmed the settlement but gave no details about money or other terms. He praised the negotiation and closure. After the settlement was announced, Michele Evans, another woman who had earlier accused Shannon Sharpe in 2023, said she was unhappy with the outcome. She argued the deal shields Shannon Sharpe from public responsibility Shannon Sharpe had stepped away from ESPN's First Take in April during the lawsuit. It is still unclear if he will return to his TV roles. His lawyer said he stepped away to focus on the legal matter and family commitments.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are betting big on 42-year-old Aaron Rodgers—but only Tom Brady has ever pulled it off
Photo by Justin K. Aller/Getty Images When the Pittsburgh Steelers signed Aaron Rodgers in the 2025 offseason, it was more than a quarterback deal—it was a roll of the dice against decades of NFL history. Rodgers, who turns 42 this December, is stepping into a season that very few quarterbacks have even reached, let alone conquered. Just 22 quarterbacks in NFL history have thrown a postseason pass past age 40. Only 12 of those games were wins. Ten of them? Tom Brady's. That leaves two wins spread between Drew Brees and Brett Favre—and a long list of names who tried and failed. For Rodgers, this isn't just a comeback. It's a battle against the numbers, time, and a league that's never been kind to aging arms. Aaron Rodgers is 42, injured, and fading—yet the Pittsburgh Steelers are betting their season on him Aaron Rodgers once spoke of 40 like a symbolic milestone. 'I'd love to play to 40,' he said back in 2018, when he was still 35. 'I just think that number means a lot. Obviously, Tom (Brady) is kind of rewriting the book. Brett (Favre) had a good season when he turned 40.' Tom Brady didn't just rewrite the book—he burned it and wrote a new one. From 40 to 45, he threw for over 27,000 yards, led the league in touchdowns, and even lifted a Lombardi Trophy at 43. Across 98 regular-season starts after age 40, Brady stacked a 68–30 record. The rest of the over-40 crowd? 108 starts. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Just 52 wins. A sub-.500 showing that exposes just how unforgiving Father Time can be. Aaron Rodgers, by comparison, is entering this stretch already banged up. He tore his Achilles in his very first game with the Jets—just three months before turning 40—and hasn't looked the same since. Now with the Steelers, he's facing pass-rushers with reduced mobility, lingering knee and hamstring issues, and worsening metrics. In 2024, he recorded a negative EPA per dropback against the blitz (-0.19), the worst mark among all quarterbacks with 300 or more attempts, per TruMedia. He was also sacked 40 times. That's not just a red flag—it's a warning siren. What the Pittsburgh Steelers stand to lose in Aaron Rodgers' final shot The Pittsburgh Steelers haven't tasted postseason success since 2017. And now, in what's expected to be Rodgers' final NFL season, they're placing their playoff hopes on a quarterback who hasn't played a full year since 2021. No other team is relying this heavily on a player this late into their career with this level of physical concern. If it works, it's historic. If it fails, it could set Pittsburgh back for another rebuild. Aaron Rodgers vs. time: One last chance to defy the odds Aaron Rodgers is no ordinary quarterback—but the NFL is no ordinary league when it comes to age. Unlike Brady, whose dominance extended flawlessly into his 40s, Rodgers is arriving at this stage already bruised by injuries and dragging statistical warning signs behind him. The Steelers' bet on him isn't just bold—it's nearly unprecedented. In a league where history rarely makes exceptions, Pittsburgh is hoping they found one. But right now, the math says otherwise.
