Fans erupted online when behind-the-scenes footage of a commercial featuring Indian cricketer Shubman Gill and Bollywood actress Ananya Panday surfaced on X. The collaboration between Gill and Panday for a headphone ad garnered a lot of attention. While cross-industry collaborations are common, this one triggered a wave of activity on social media, especially in relation to Riyan Parag.
Parag had already been the subject of ridicule on the internet after his search history was unintentionally exposed during a live stream, revealing searches for “Ananya Panday and Sara Ali Khan”. This incident quickly went viral, leading to widespread jokes and mockery. On Thursday, as Parag was playing in India A’s Duleep Trophy second-round match against India B, social media was once again abuzz with references to him.

A setback for India C, captain Ruturaj Gaikwad retired injured after facing just two balls in their Duleep Trophy 2024 match against India B at the Rural Development Trust Stadium B in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh on Thursday.
Gaikwad, who managed to hit a four off the first ball he faced, twisted his ankle on the next delivery and was forced to leave the field. India B won the toss and opted to bowl first, putting India C at a disadvantage from the start. Despite the initial blow of losing their captain, India C managed to bounce back with a solid partnership between Sai Sudharsan and Rajat Patidar.

Sudharsan scored 43 runs off 75 balls while Patidar contributed 40 runs off 67 balls. The duo shared a crucial 92-run stand for the second wicket, facing 140 balls in total. After their promising partnership, both batsmen were dismissed in quick succession, leaving Ishan Kishan and Baba Indrajith to rebuild the innings.
Reports said that Gaikwad sprained his ankle while running after facing a delivery from pacer Mukesh Kumar. Though he had to retire injured, the injury is not considered serious and he is expected to bat in the second innings. Gaikwad has had a tough period in his red-ball cricket career recently.
The 27-year-old was named in India’s Test squad for the two-match series against South Africa last December but was ruled out due to a finger injury. In his first-class career, Gaikwad has played 30 matches, amassing 2092 runs with six centuries and ten fifties. His first-class, List A and T20 debuts came during the 2016-17 season for Maharashtra. India B captain Abhimanyu Easwaran won the toss and elected to bowl first.
