I saw the madness, big scores and crazy atmosphere of the IPL; I didn’t expect to be part of something like that: Nat Sciver-Brunt 

Nat Sciver-Brunt was in fabulous form at the WPL. She rattled up scores of 80 n.o., 57, 42, 75 n.o., 18, 37, 38, 69, 77 and 30. And she also picked up 12 wickets to play a big role — like she did in 2023 — in Mumbai Indians’ triumph in the world’s biggest women’s cricket league. The thing with Sciver-Brunt is that she gets into fabulous form often. More often than most cricketers. Little wonder she is already one of the all-time greats. Excerpts from an interview Sciver-Brunt gave The Hindu:In the WPL’s first edition, you were the player-of-the-match in the eliminator and the final. You may have been reminded of that, the way you performed this season, too. I have probably surprised myself, to be honest. I have played a lot of cricket in the last few months, not all of that has been as suc...

Boxing: Women’s nationals kicks off in absence of big names

The contentious women’s boxing nationals kicked off at the Shahid Vijay Singh Pathik Sports Complex in Greater Noida on Friday with big names such as World Champion and Asian Games medallist Nikhat Zareen and Tokyo Olympics medallist Lovlina Borgohain missing from the action. While Nikhat is yet to start her season, Lovlina couldn’t participate in the event due to the ongoing conflict between Boxing Federation of India (BFI) President Ajay Singh and his now-suspended secretary Hemanta Kumar Kalita. In the absence of the country’s leading women’s pugilists, the tournament started with 51kg defending champion Anamika Hooda of Railways Sports Promotion Board (RSPB) defeating Sikkim’s Prava Gajneer in the second round. Among other important results, Devika Ghorpade of Maharashtra claimed a dec...

‘Rohit Sharma’s Powerplay aggression is possible because he knows Virat Kohli can fix his mistakes’: Aaron Finch

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have been the cornerstones of India’s ODI batting for well over a decade. However, the change in approach that the current India captain and opener has embraced in the format has done wonders for India, who have won all but one match across three ICC limited-overs events in the 2023 ODI World Cup, last year’s T20 World Cup and the Champions Trophy 2025 in Dubai earlier this month. Former Australia captain Aaron Finch, however, believes that Rohit’s unfiltered aggression at the top is close to impossible without the cushion that Kohli offers at his favoured No. 3 spot in ODIs. Finch remarked that Rohit’s batting is fraught with numerous risks in the Powerplay and that the 37-year-old continues to hold onto the method knowing that Kohli has got his back. “When yo...

Why Trump’s ultimatum to Columbia could reshape higher education across the US – The Times of India

Federal intervention at Columbia threatens future of academic autonomy in the US. (AP Photo) Former President Donald Trump's recent ultimatum to Columbia University could set a dangerous precedent for US higher education. Issued in March 2025, the ultimatum demands that Columbia place its Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies Department under academic receivership for at least five years. The stakes are high, with $400 million in canceled government grants and contracts looming over the university.The demand comes in the wake of mounting political tensions, with federal officials accusing Columbia of failing to protect students and faculty from antisemitic violence and harassment. The request to place the department under receivership is not a common move in academic governance ...

IPL 2025 | Indian cricket’s reactionary child turns 18… how fast the night changes!

Another coming-of-age story is that nine of 10 designated captains in IPL-18 will be Indians. | Photo Credit: X@IPL When the Indian Premier League baby was born in 2008, it had a burden to carry. Birthed by Lalit Modi and blessed by the ruling BCCI, the IPL came into existence to mainly thwart the rebel Indian Cricket League and maintain the governing body’s monopoly over the sport in the country.In the 17 years since then, it is safe to say that the reactionary child has lived up to expectations. With the foundational goal met pretty early, an unshackled IPL has experienced life to the fullest. Even corruption and betting scandals have been overcome, like how canny adolescents tackle the struggles and uncertai...

As Trump pushes to eliminate Department of Education, school leaders look to state for guidance – The Times of India

Trump's order to dismantle Department of Education leaves school leaders seeking state guidance. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on March 20, 2025, aimed at dismantling the US Department of Education. The move fulfills a longstanding campaign promise to conservatives, pledging to return control of education to the states. The order proposes eliminating the department's functions, although fully closing it would require Congressional approval.While Trump emphasized that the order would “begin to eliminate” the department, leaders of local school districts are unsure of how this significant change will impact their students. Many are still awaiting clarity from state officials as they closely monitor developments.Local districts respond cautiouslyHeather Leas, public relatio...

Minister Parvesh Verma pulls up ‘thick-skinned’ Delhi officers, says system was ‘destroyed’ over 10 yrs

New Delhi: Government officers in Delhi have become thick-skinned over the last 10 years and the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government will now make them run and burn their fat, Delhi’s Public Works Department Minister Parvesh Verma said Friday. This came a day after Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta wrote to Chief Secretary Dharmendra, complaining that the officers were not even acknowledging MLAs’ calls and letters. On Friday, Verma directed the suspension of a PWD executive engineer over poor desilting of a drain in the Akshardham area in the national capital. The minister was inspecting the condition of roads and drains in certain parts of Delhi. “Sabko dauda rahe hain, mai bhi daud raha hun.

THALA SURPRISE: Which batting shot has seen MS Dhoni amp up strike rate from 152 to 250 in last two years? No, it’s not the helicopter

This is a swansong that is rolling out in episodes and years. With “Definitely Nots”, “One last time” Morse-coded tees and probable leaps of faith, MS Dhoni has played 53 IPL matches in three-and-a-half seasons since turning 40 in 2021. That is an extensive IPL career packed within itself, level with 23-year-old sensation Yashasvi Jaiswal’s tally in five seasons from debut and ahead of 581 players who have ever appeared in the league.When his batting season ended with a golden duck with a chip to cover in the IPL 2023 final that Chennai Super Kings eventually clinched off the last ball, Dhoni and his dodgy knee had a bittersweet exit point ready before him. That was until he reloaded for 2024, literally, with more muscle in his game. And yet when he skied a Yash Dayal bumper to deep backwa...
