On the other hand, this act of Ponting hasn't gone down too well with Pakistani fans, who felt that there is no need for Ponting to do this. Many Pakistani fans took to X to voice their concerns, some even alleging that it is all the power of money. Here are some reactions...

Yuzvendra Chahal's t-shirt controversy
While on the IPL, Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal, who plays for Rajasthan Royals, and choreographer Dhanashree Verma have officially parted ways. The couple appeared separately at a Mumbai court, both wearing masks, as their divorce proceedings concluded. Although they did not address the media, Chahal's lawyer confirmed that the divorce has been finalized, stating that the marriage is now dissolved. The Bombay High Court expedited the process due to the IPL.
During the court appearance, Chahal was seen wearing an all-black outfit, which included a jacket that he later removed, revealing a t-shirt with the slogan "Be your own sugar daddy." This sparked speculation among netizens, who wondered if it was a subtle reference to the rumors surrounding Dhanashree's alimony demands, which her family had previously denied.

The reasons behind the divorce remain unclear, but it is reported that the couple had been living apart for the past 18 months. There were also rumors about Chahal's closeness to RJ Mahvash, who attended one of his matches, though the nature of their relationship is unclear. Meanwhile, Dhanashree has been focusing on her music and dance career, recently promoting her new song "Dekha Ji Dekha Maine," which coincidentally explores themes of extra-marital affairs and features actor Ishwak Singh.
