WPL 2025: Home, no advantange, as RCB lose four straight; Shafali Verma’s 80* powers DC to big win

Smriti Mandhana seemed to consider tossing the coin up with her left hand – something Harmanpreet Kaur does from time to time for India – because her luck hasn’t been good. She fumbled, then tossed it with her right hand anyway. And when it went against her she walked away with a wry smile, as Delhi Capitals skipper Meg Lanning did a little celebratory fist pump, giving Mandhana a pat on the shoulder. In her long, decorated stint as Australia captain, Lanning was often asked what she would have done if she lost the toss. Her response almost invariably, without hesitation, was a version of: “it doesn’t matter”. But in the Women’s Premier League, it has mattered a whole lot. Only one team so far had won batting first. That was the case once more on Saturday as Lanning’s DC became the first ...

Nostalgia at Sharjah stadium: From a Guinness record to now playing to empty stands

The hashtag #ItAllStartedHere that adorns the cream coloured walls of the Sharjah Cricket Stadium says it all. From 1984 to 2001 — when the Indian government banned the Men in Blue from playing there – it had been the epicentre of cricket. If World Series Cricket or the tri-series were synonyms with the Australian summer, so were the multi-national tournaments in Sharjah, played under the name Cricketers Benefit Fund Series (CBFS). For Indians, any mention of Sharjah in a conversation doesn’t end without the mention of Javed Miandad’s last-ball six in 1985 or Sachin Tendulkar’s Desert Storm in 1998.The empty stands, which are now aged and a throwback to a different era, used to drum up such an electric atmosphere that it made Tony Greig scream on air, “They are dancing in the aisles in Sha...

Nara Lokesh star of AP FM’s budget speech, Oppn calls it the Naidu family ‘praise parade’

Hyderabad: The budget speech by Andhra Pradesh finance minister Payyavula Keshav on Friday turned into a family spotlight moment. The speech was peppered with praise for Nara Lokesh—son of Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu—crediting him for everything, from luring big businesses to revamping schools, AI in schools, to delivery of government services through WhatsApp. The opposition YSRCP called it a “praise parade” for the Naidu dynasty instead of a plan for the people. Political observers said the commendation aligns with a growing trend within the TDP to position Lokesh as the party’s undisputed successor. “This wasn’t a budget speech; it was a coronation speech,” said one political observer.

It’s not yet control-alt-delete for civilisation 

Our schools teach us nothing about avoiding asteroids. That part of our education is left to Hollywood. | Photo Credit: Getty Images It might sound like one of Elon Musk’s children (three of whom are named X, Techno Mechanicus and Exa Dark Sidereal), but 2024 YR4 might be more destructive. For it is an asteroid travelling towards the earth at some speed. Last week, the International Asteroid Warning Network told us there’s a  3.1 percent chance that it might strike the earth. So if you have made plans for 22 December 2032, there might be an issue. For that is when the asteroid is expected to arrive.

I was determined to make it count in the second innings: Karun

Karun Nair celebrates his hundred. | Photo Credit: NIRMAL HARINDRAN ‘Nine’, said Karun Nair through his hands. No prize for guessing what he meant. That was his ninth hundred of the season across formats. So after taking the single to complete his century for Vidarabha in the Ranji Trophy final, he took off his helmet, looked towards his dressing room, and made that signal. “I had been talking to one of our throwers and said that I would show him ‘nine’ if I scored a hundred in this match,” Karun explained shortly after remaining unbeaten on 132 at the end of the fourth day.When asked if it was only meant for the dressing room, as the national selectors were also present at the stadium, he said with a m...

Ranji Trophy | Karun Nair’s classy ton puts Vidarbha on the verge of glory

Karun Nair en route his hundred. | Photo Credit: NIRMAL HARINDRAN Karun Nair loves to bat on and on. He loves it more if the stage is grander. Like a Ranji Trophy final, for instance.

Education department offers workers $25000 buyouts ahead of a significant layoff – The Times of India

On Friday, employees of the Education Department received an email offering buyouts ahead of what has been described as “very significant” layoffs. The email, sent to all department employees, urged them to consider a “one-time offer” of a taxable payment of up to $25,000 if they applied to retire or resign by the end of the day on Monday.

According to the memo, the payment will be either severance pay or $25,000, whichever is lower. To be eligible, employees must have worked for the federal government for at least three consecutive years. Additionally, those...

Karun Nair hits second Ranji Trophy Final century against Kerala in career-best season

Vidarbha batter Karun Nair continued his purple patch in the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 final as he backed up his first-innings 86 with his 23rd First-Class century against Kerala at the VCA Stadium in Jamtha, Nagpur on Saturday. Batting in the second innings on day four of the contest, after Vidarbha earned a 37-run first-innings, lead the previous evening, Nair walked in at number four after Kerala removed the openers within the first 14 deliveries.
