The unsung heroes in Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s rise to the summit

One of the oft-used cliches is that the IPL is a marathon, not a sprint. Delhi Capitals will ruefully agree – after all, they won their first four matches in a canter yet failed to make even a serious push for the Playoffs.It’s also said regularly that while batters win matches, bowlers win tournaments. One need not look beyond Royal Challengers Bengaluru to understand exactly what that means.On an emotional, dramatic Tuesday night in front of nearly 100,000 spectators at the gigantic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the most passionate sports fans in the world were finally rewarded for loyalty when Rajat Patidar did what Rahul Dravid, Kevin Pietersen, Anil Kumble, Daniel Vettori, Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis before him had failed to accomplish. In his first season as the captain of t...

Norway Chess Women: Vaishali Rameshbabu takes down women’s world champion; Koneru Humpy surges into lead

It was on the first rest day of the Norway Chess tournament that Koneru Humpy couldn’t stop grinning. She had tried her hand at rifle shooting among other things at a ranch during the Norway Chess Games, and had managed to hit a bullseye. Humpy was so chuffed at that shot that she had asked for the paper target as a keepsake. In two days, Humpy just might leave Norway’s Stavanger with something more precious: the women’s title at the super-elite championship. The 38-year-old surged into the lead on the second rest day of the Norway Chess women’s tournament, staying one full point ahead of women’s world champion Ju Wenjun and Ukraine’s Anna Muzychuk. Humpy took down Spain’s Sarasadat Khademalsharieh (better known as Sara Khadem) in the classical portion for the second time in the tournament...

India’s young side fails to clear Thailand hurdle

Back in 2019, when Stephen Constantine was the national football coach, India beat Thailand 4-0 at the AFC Asian Cup.Seven games into his tenure, coach Manolo Marquez chose a young Indian team for a friendly against Thailand on Wednesday, ahead of the country’s attempt to return back to that very competition. Despite a crucial Asian Cup qualifier against Hong Kong on the road looming, and a lengthy domestic camp behind them, India conceded a two-goal loss on the road. Goals from Ben Davis and Poramet Arjivilai early in both halves handed Marquez’s team yet another loss in what has been a difficult period — 8 losses, 6 draws and 1 win against Maldives, since November 2023.

Woman mistakes cancer for menopause, gynaecologist confirms symptoms can be similar

A 58-year-old woman from Canterbury is sharing her life-changing experience to raise awareness about the importance of recognising abnormal bleeding as a potential symptom of uterine cancer. Dawn Willis, like many women, initially assumed her postmenopausal bleeding was a normal part of menopause. However, it turned out to be a warning sign of something far more serious. For nearly a year, Dawn ignored her symptoms, believing they were linked to hormonal changes. “So much happens to your body during menopause that I thought the bleeding was normal,” she explained in an Instagram post. But as time went on, her belly started to swell, and her family urged her to seek medical help. That decision ultimately saved her life. Doctors diagnosed her with womb cancer (endometrial cancer), one of the...

Donald Trump or Barron Trump, who was actually rejected by Harvard? Here’s what we know so far – Times of India

Did Donald Trump or Barron Trump face Harvard rejection?

Time to ‘retire lame horse’—Rahul Gandhi hints at massive revamp of MP Congress unit

Bhopal: Signalling a major overhaul of the beleaguered Madhya Pradesh Congress, senior leader Rahul Gandhi used a metaphor on Wednesday to outline his revival plan. Taking a swipe at the party’s old guard, which has dominated the party for decades, he said, “There are three types of horses: A race horse, a wedding horse and a lame horse. The race horse will be put in the race, the wedding horse in a wedding and the lame one needs to be asked to retire.” “But they shouldn’t trouble others. Otherwise, they will have to face disciplinary action,” he told party workers in Bhopal’s Ravindra Bhawan during a day-long visit to the city to kickstart a campaign to revive the state organisation. Referring to an earlier address to the Gujarat Congress, Rahul said, “Earlier I had mentioned two horses...

Why did Albert Einstein drop out of school at the age of 15? The powerful lesson every student can learn from his exit – Times of India

Why did Albert Einstein drop out of school at the age of 15? Albert Einstein did not merely drift away from school; he broke from it with the quiet force of a mind unwilling to be shackled. At fifteen, he walked out of Munich’s Luitpold Gymnasium–a prestigious secondary school—not in rebellion, but in refusal, a refusal to conform to the rigid, authoritarian machinery of an education system that prized obedience over understanding. It was, in hindsight, the first bold rupture in a life that would come to be defined by its elegant resistance to convention. The boy who would one day upend the known universe with his theory of relativity began by rejecting a far smaller—but no less suffocating—universe, the narrow classroom in which curiosity was subordinate to command.The School That Stifled...

‘You can see in his eyes’: Ricky Ponting cites emotional reaction of Virat Kohli to portray what winning IPL means to players

Punjab Kings head coach Ricky Pointing pointed out the importance of winning the IPL trophy by bringing up the emotional reaction of Virat Kohli when Royal Challengers Bengaluru defeated PBKS in the final by 6 runs to clinch their maiden title. “You can see in his eyes in that last over, he was shedding a tear, that’s what it means to players, that’s what it means to everyone. Chennai (Super Kings) have won it a few times, Mumbai (Indians) have won it a few times, but it’s not an easy tournament to win — it is as simple as that — and you have to think long and hard about that.

FYJC controversy: Open-category seats at minority institutions fall sharply as SC/ST/OBC quotas get added

A major controversy has erupted in the First Year Junior College (FYJC) admission process in minority trust-run junior colleges in Maharashtra this year after the government admission portal showed a sharp decline in the number of seats available for general category students. This change, sources at minority institutions said, was because seats from the general or open category were allocated to SC/ST/OBC-category students. A government official said that the only communication in this regard is a Government Resolution (GR) issued on May 6 on the FYJC admission process. The sentence from the GR that the officer referred to deals with vacant seats under the minority quota after three rounds of admissions. “If admissions are lower than the intake capacity in minority quota, admissions can b...
