August was a busy month on Global Entertainment Hub. We covered everything from court rulings that could hit small businesses to cricket rankings that sent fans into a frenzy. Below is a fast‑paced look at the posts that got the most clicks and conversations.

Sports Highlights That Made Headlines

Cricket stole the spotlight early on. Mohammad Haris rocketed 210 places to land at No. 30 in the ICC T20I rankings after a blistering 107* against Bangladesh. His knock proved the new, aggressive Pakistani batting line‑up is paying off. A few days later the Pakistan board announced a surprise Asia Cup squad – Salman Ali Agha got the captaincy while Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan were left out, sparking heated debate on social media.

Sri Lanka took a different route, naming a balanced ODI squad for the Australia series. The mix of seasoned players like Pathum Nissanka and fresh faces such as Kamindu Mendis gave fans a reason to be optimistic about the team’s chances down under.

In tennis, we listed the richest female players of 2025. Serena Williams still tops the list with a net worth upward of $300 million, while Jessica Pegula, Coco Gauff, Iga Swiatek and Naomi Osaka round out the financial elite, showing how endorsements and equity deals are reshaping earnings.

Wimbledon delivered a shock when unseeded Benjamin Bonzi knocked out ninth‑seed Daniil Medvedev in the first round. The upset added a fresh twist to the men’s draw and set the stage for an unpredictable tournament.

Beyond cricket and tennis, we covered Keshav Maharaj’s career‑best five‑wicket haul that helped South Africa beat Australia by 98 runs in Cairns, and Cristiano Ronaldo’s new Bundesliga goal record that eclipsed Gerd Müller’s long‑standing mark.

Entertainment, Lifestyle and Big‑Ticket News

Bollywood kept the festive spirit alive with a Ganesh Chaturthi 2025 playlist. Tracks like “Deva Shree Ganesha” and “Morya Re” topped the charts, while newer songs such as “Jai Shree Ganesha” bridged the gap between tradition and today’s listeners.

Bigg Boss 19 launched with Salman Khan welcoming a mixed cast of TV stars, musicians and digital creators. The show’s first voting twist – a showdown between Shehbaz Badesha and YouTuber Mridul Tiwari – sparked a social media firestorm, especially after Shehnaaz Gill called the setup unfair.

On the tech side, Hero MotoCorp unveiled the Glamour X 125, the first 125 cc bike in India with cruise control and smart LCD tech, priced at just under ₹90,000. Meanwhile, Toyota upgraded the Glanza with six standard airbags and rolled out a Prestige Edition priced below ₹7 lakh, offering a safety boost without breaking the bank.

India’s GST 2.0 proposal aimed to slice home‑building costs by introducing two tax slabs (5 % and 18 %). If approved, the move could shave 5‑10 % off construction expenses, making houses more affordable for first‑time buyers just in time for Diwali.

Automotive markets saw Maruti Suzuki shares jump 9 % on rumors of a GST cut for small cars, while Nestle India’s share price slipped after a disappointing Q1 FY26 profit report and a controversial bonus issue.

We also tracked big‑ticket financial moves: Vikram Solar and Shreeji Shipping kicked off a week of IPOs, and Adani Group publicly denied any talks with Chinese battery makers BYD and Beijing Welion, reinforcing its focus on non‑Chinese partnerships.

Finally, the government rolled out two landmark projects. Kartavya Bhavan opened as the new hub for several ministries, promising modern, eco‑friendly office space. And the Mumbai‑Ahmedabad bullet train, set to cut travel time to just over two hours, marked the beginning of India’s high‑speed rail era.
