No More International Games In Kanpur After 'Washout' Row? Report Says...

Despite a rain-free morning and bright sunshine later in the day, day three's play of the second Test between India and Bangladesh was called off without a ball being bowled at the Green Park Stadium. The unexpected cause? A ‘wet outfield'. Frustration grew as both teams remained at their hotel, while match officials inspected the field three times, all without covers. But there was no play, leading to two days now lost due to rain. Shiv Kumar, the pitch curator of the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) maintained that everything was under control in Kanpur. But he admitted to having confusion regarding the match officials' reservations. “They gave us three different time for inspection but never told us what is the issue. Which area was wet or whatever is the problem. I told them that you can start the match but if you have any concern let me know,” he told IANS. With the morning and lunch sessions already lost, match referee Jeff Crowe conducted multiple inspection

'Ring Of Fire' Solar Eclipse: Timing, Visibility In India And Other Details

The annular solar eclipse of 2024 is set to occur on October 2, Wednesday. According to Space.com, during this astronomical phenomenon, the Moon will appear smaller than the Sun, leaving a bright ring of sunlight visible around the darkened centre. This celestial spectacle, also known as the "Ring of Fire," will be visible for over six hours, starting at 9:13 PM IST and ending at 3:17 PM IST the next day. During the peak, the Moon will create the "ring of fire" effect for viewers within the path of annularity.  Is the annular solar eclipse visible from India?  This celestial event will be visible across parts of the Pacific Ocean, southern Chile and southern Argentina. However, skywatchers in India will be disappointed. Due to the timing of the eclipse occurring at night, it will not be observable from the country. Consequently, the Sutak Kaal period, a time of observation traditionally followed during eclipses, will not be applicable in India. This event provi

Apple Trader Runs Pablo Escobar-esque Drug Op, Evades Cops For Years

The orders for the drug were generated through WhatsApp, supplies were initiated and delivery made; but the delivery person and the final receiver never saw each other. In fact, people in the demand and supply chains operated like unrelated units. Shahi Mahatma aka Shashi Negi, an apple trader in the upper Shimla region, ran an interstate 'chitta' (adulterated heroin) racket for five to six years, avoiding enforcement agencies by ensuring the dots were always so wide apart that they could not be connected to reach him. Negi remained the only common link between the demand and supply chain in his 'chitta'. But he ran out of luck on September 20, a day after the police made this year's biggest haul of drugs in Shimla - 465 grams of 'chitta' from Kharapathar. "Links of the accused Mudasir Ahmed Mochi, a resident of Bhatpura village in Kupwara district in Jammu and Kashmir (who was arrested on September 19) were established with Shahi Mahatma alias Shash

Chants of several women hailing Gisele Pelicot as the emerging feminist icon filled the air as the 72-year-old walked into a courtroom for her mass rape trial in Avignon, France. She has been frequently seen in conventionally chic dresses with an auburn bob cut and dark glasses, adding to her decision to waiver off anonymity and make the mass rape trial public. Pelicot walked into the courtroom for a trial which had shaken the country three weeks ago, when it was revealed that her husband, Dominique Pelicot, invited dozens of men over to rape her, after drugging her unconscious, for decades. As reported by The Guardian , Dominique Pelicot, 71, was caught by a security guard in November 2020 as he was filming up the skirts of women at a supermarket near their home. Soon after, his computer was investigated by the police disclosing details which would shatter Gisele's life. The report stated that while investigating the case, police saw a file, labelled "abuses" on the US

Ashok Gehlot's Ex-Aide Blames Him For Phone Tapping During 2020 Crisis

In a development that could land former Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot in trouble, his ex-officer on special duty (OSD) Lokesh Sharma has held him responsible for phone tapping during the political crisis in the state in 2020. He said Mr Gehlot should be interrogated in this regard. Delhi Police questioned Mr Sharma on Wednesday in connection with the phone-tapping case lodged on a complaint by Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat. After the questioning, Mr Sharma said he submitted a seven-page written statement, describing the sequence of events on July 16, 2020, when he got a pen drive containing call recordings from the then chief minister for circulating to the media. He said Mr Gehlot could tell how he got the call recordings and whether the call interceptions were done legally or not.

I don't think anyone's been better," said Michael Vaughan, appearing alongside Gilchrist in an interaction with the cricket.com YouTube channel . "MS is a captain," he reasoned, as to why he had picked him over Kohli. "I'm getting rid of Virat. He's never won the IPL. Rohit Sharma is a six-time winner. MS Dhoni is a five-time winner," he said.

Faced with a couple aged between 75 and 80 years fighting a legal battle against each other for alimony, the Allahabad High Court on Tuesday made a strong observation, saying it seemed that 'kalyug' (the age of darkness in Hinduism) has arrived.  Hearing a petition by the husband, Munesh Kumar Gupta of Aligarh, against a family court order in favour of his wife, Justice Saurabh Shyam Shamshery said the legal contest was a matter of concern and also tried to give advice to the couple.  Mr Gupta's wife had demanded alimony from him and the family court had ruled in her favour. The man challenged the order and, issuing a notice to the wife, the high court said it hoped that they would come to an agreement by the next date of hearing.    from NDTV News- Topstories https://ift.tt/8khynbr https://ift.tt/8ECGPZl

Rishabh Pant Better Than MS Dhoni In Tests? Karthik Gives Honest Response

More than 600 days after his horrific car accident, Rishabh Pant returned to his absolute best, scoring a century for the country, on Day 3 of the first Test against Bangladesh. Pant's ton came at a crucial time for the team, when most of the top-order batters departed early, leaving India India in a concerning position in the second innings. However, Pant and Shubman Gill orchestrated a crucial partnership, with the latter also scoring a ton, to take the team into a comfortable zone. As Pant notched up the triple-digit score, he also equalled MS Dhoni 's record of scoring the most tons in Test cricket, as a wicket-keeper batter for the country. Seeing Pant equal Dhoni's record at the age of 26, a debate over the comparison between the two triggered on social media. Even former India wicket-keeper batter Dinesh Karthik couldn't resist getting involved in the debate, but asked for Pant to be given more time before a judgement is made. "It's very unacceptabl

Tamim Brings Up Virat's Sledging 'History' With BAN Star. Shastri Responds

Virat Kohli 's 'sledging history' with Mushfiqur Rahim came a point of discussion on commentary during Day 2 of the first Test match between India and Bangladesh in Chennai on Friday. When Mushfiqur came out to bat in the first innings, former Bangladesh skipper Tamim Iqbal said on commentary that he expects something interesting considering his 'history' with Virat. It referred to Mushfiqur's comments that Virat earlier sledged him on the field. Former India coach Ravi Shastri was in the commentary box with Tamim and did not miss the opportunity to take a cheeky dig. “Mushfiqur Rahim is batting, Virat Kohli is in the slips. Watch out now. Keep an eye on them. They have quite the history,” Tamim said. Reacting to Iqbal's comments, Shastri asked, “What history?” The ex-Bangladesh skipper replied - “Oh, you know, Ravi. You know what history I am talking about.” Earlier, Mushfiqur said that Kohli tends to say things to him when he comes out to bat agains
