Sourav Ganguly, former Indian cricket team captain, grabbed headlines with his surprise role as a cop in the promotional video for Netflix’s web series 'Khakee: The Bengal Chapter'. In the recently released promo, Ganguly appears in a police uniform, acting out various scenes under the director’s guidance. In one standout moment, when asked by the director to display aggression, Ganguly recalls his infamous history with former India coach Greg Chappell — a reference that instantly fires him up. The scene served as a clear dig at the well-known feud between Ganguly and Chappell during the 2000s, a period that significantly impacted Indian cricket. Ganguly has previously been vocal about Chappell’s controversial stint as India's coach and the negative influence it had on Indian cricket’s progress. The light-hearted reference in the promo resonated with fans, drawing laughter and nostalgia.
Faf du Plessis Appointed Delhi Capitals Vice-Captain for IPL 2025
In a significant move ahead of the IPL 2025 season, seasoned South African batter Faf du Plessis has been appointed as the vice-captain of the Delhi Capitals (DC). The announcement was made by the franchise on their official social media accounts on Monday. “You mean right now? I'm at home, where else would I be? Yes, that's true, I'm vice-captain of DC, and I'm very excited,” du Plessis said in a video posted by Delhi Capitals. He added, “The boys have been fantastic, and I feel ready for the challenge.” Delhi Capitals acquired du Plessis at his base price of Rs 2 crore during the IPL mega auction held in Jeddah last year. Previously, he was part of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), where he played a crucial leadership role before being released ahead of the auction.
As vice-captain, du Plessis will play a vital role in supporting Axar Patel, the team’s captain, with on-field tactics, team strategy, and leadership guidance. With extensive IPL experience and a strong background as South Africa’s former captain, du Plessis brings valuable insights to the DC camp. During his time at RCB from 2022 to 2024, du Plessis led the team in 42 matches, winning 21 games with a balanced win-loss ratio of 1.000. He guided RCB to the playoffs twice, although the team faced defeat in the Eliminator stage on both occasions. In the past five IPL seasons, du Plessis has scored 2,718 runs in 74 innings, showcasing his consistent form in the T20 format.
