After a massive uproar on social media, the India vs Pakistan match in the World Championship of Legends 2025 has been cancelled. But media reports reveal that Shahid Afridi's participation in the tournament broke the camel's back. read more Shahid Afridi's participation in the India vs Pakistan match at WCL 2025 became a big issue as Indian players pulled out. Images: Reuters/Yuvraj Singh on X The World Championship of Legends (WCL) organisers were forced to cancel the Sunday India vs Pakistan match after a host of former Indian cricket team players refused to take the field against their bitter rivals and neighbours in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack. Leading the protest from the front was former India opener Shikhar Dhawan, who declared on social media that 'My country is everything for me,' while announcing his decision to withdraw from the match against Pakistan.

The WCL, in its official statement, said that they only wanted to 'create some happy memories for people' with the upcoming match and felt it was the right decision as the two countries had already resumed sporting ties through other events. They admitted 'unintentionally' causing 'discomfort to our Indian Cricket Legends' and 'affecting the brands who supported' them. India and Pakistan teams have already competed against each other in tennis and volleyball matches internationally since the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor. Afridi's participation forces WLC to cancel IND vs PAK match However, it's important to note that the organisers had no wish to cancel the match until Indian players went against the idea. Dhawan was the most vocal as he took to social media to express his disapproval. 'Jo kadam 11 May ko liya, uspe aaj bhi waise hi khada hoon. Mera desh mere liye sab kuch hai, aur desh se badhkar kuch nahi hota (I still stand by the step I took on 11 May. My country is everything for me and nothing is bigger than the nation,' Dhawan wrote on X, along with a screenshot of a letter that announced that he will not take part in matches against Pakistan. Jo kadam 11 May ko liya, uspe aaj bhi waise hi khada hoon. Mera desh mere liye sab kuch hai, aur desh se badhkar kuch nahi hota.

Coldplay and the chaos of Astronomer's CEO Andy Byron and CPO Kristin Cabot: Everything that happened
Coldplay , the rock band, is known to savour adorable memories, sing aloud, and possibly tear up a bit during the emotional songs. However, one such clip from the concert, which sparked conversations, laughter, accusations, and so much more, of the CEO of Astronomer, Andy Byron and the Chief People Officer (HR Department), Kristin Cabot, has been going viral on social media (for all the wrong reasons). What happened? On July 16, 2025, Coldplay held a concert as part of their 'Music of the Spheres' tour in Gillette Stadium, Boston. As a part of their immersive experience, the band has many traditions, which include confetti, one-to-one talks with concertgoers, wristbands, moon goggles, and more. One of which is 'The Jumbotron song,' where Martin converses and sings about the people with live lyrics. During the 'Kiss Cam' moment, the camera panned towards a middle-aged couple, who had their arms wrapped around. Initially, Martin, who was in awe, introduced them by saying, 'Whoa, look at these two.' However, in a split second, the woman turned around and tried to go out of the frame, while the man tried to bend down and hide behind the glass barricade. Martin quipped, 'Either they're having an affair or they're just really shy." 'Oh s–t, I hope we didn't do something bad,' he added. Turns out, the man, Andy Byron, held the position of CEO, while the woman, Kristin Cabot, held the position of Chief People Officer (Head of HR Department). Chris Martin confirms whether the couple was 'legitimate' A couple of moments later, a young couple is displayed on the Jumbotron. Chris asked, 'OK, now listen, are you two a couple? Are you two a legitimate couple?' The audience quickly shared a laugh; however, the couple did not respond immediately, which made the singer confused. The couple was staring at the singer, and the 48-year-old asked whether they understood English. No reaction at all, even after Martin tried to communicate in Spanish. 'Ok, I'm just going to risk it,' the 'Yellow' singer said. After Chris asked if they could hear him, the man finally responded with a thumbs-up. The interaction has been getting a lot of views on social media as well. The Aftermath As the clip went viral, Byron and Cabot were scrutinised by a good share of netizens, who were concerned about their respective family members. A user quickly shared that Byron's wife, Megan Kerrigan, had removed his surname from her Facebook account's profile name, which was some time before she entirely deactivated her account. Kerrigan is an accomplished educator in Massachusetts, who is working as an Associate Director of the Lower School and Admissions for the Hope Graham Program at the Bancroft School in Worcester, according to her profile. A letter to the netizens While the entire internet was busy sharing memes and chuckles, a certain viral statement circulated on social media that quickly grabbed the attention. Allegedly signed by Andy Byron, the letter had an apology to his family and employees. While the statement said that he would like to take accountability and privacy in the matter, it further said that his private moments were made public without his consent, which enraged many users. However, TMZ has confirmed that Andy Byron has not made any statement as of now, nor has Kristin Cabot. Who are Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot? Andy Byron has been the CEO of Astronomer since July 2023, according to his LinkedIn profile. The 50-year-old is married to Megan Herrigan, with whom he shares two kids. Meanwhile, Kristin Cabot joined the tech company, Astronomer, in November 2024, as a part of the HR Department that looks after ethics. She was previously married to Kenneth C. Thornby; however, they finalised their divorce in 2022 after filing it in 2018.
