The big news for Chennai Super Kings ahead of the IPL 2024 season was the decision to replace MS Dhoni with Ruturaj Gaikwad as the captain. Dhoni ended his long tenure as the CSK captain and put his support behind Ruturaj as the new leader of the side. While the move to appoint Hardik Pandya in place of Rohit Sharma as the Mumbai Indians captain was not accepted well by the fanbase, the CSK fans were happy with Ruturaj with Dhoni backing him. CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan opened up about the decision process and praised Ruturaj for leading the side well and also the smooth transition.
“The discussions we had with the team management from before a couple of years when Ruturaj came into the CSK and started performing well, we felt that he will be a good choice to captain the side. Both Flem (Fleming) and MS (Dhoni) had long discussions with him, they had plans to make him as a future captain,” Viswanathan told CSK in a YouTube video.
“His performances and also the way he app..

For some, the Pune Porsche crash is a tragic example of why minors should not be allowed to drive. Many see it as a test of the country’s justice system. For another section, the question is whether privilege will again enable the teen to get off lightly. But for two homes in Madhya Pradesh, it is about a vacuum that nothing can ever fill. For them, “the Porsche case” signifies endless pain.
Anish Awadhiya and Ashwini Kostha were two 24-year-old engineers who left their small city homes with many dreams. That night in Pune, they were out to meet friends and were returning on a bike when a drunken teen at the wheel of his high-end car hit them from behind. Ashwini, eyewitnesses said, was thrown 20 feet high and landed hard. Aneesh was thrown at a parked car. Both died on the spot.
At her Jabalpur home, Ashwini’s mother Mamata is still in shock. “We were supposed to send her off in a doli (to the groom’s house) after her wedding, but we were forced to carry her arthi (bier),” she told ne..

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) stars Virat Kohli, skipper Faf Du Plessis and wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik reflected on ups-and-downs, but an inspirational and memorable Indian Premier League (IPL) season following their loss to Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the eliminator on Wednesday. RCB’s dream run following a horrid first half and a winning streak of six games finally came to an end after a four-wicket loss to RR in the eliminator at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium on Wednesday.
The season was one to remember for RCB as they were on the brink of elimination after winning just one out of their first eight games, but won their next six games by great margins and knocked out defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in a virtual knockout clash to secure the final playoff spot on basis of net-run-rate. However, the 17-year-old long wait for the trophy continues after the loss to RR. Nonetheless, the team’s performance this season has won them a lot of acclaim from fans, exper..

For the 17th season in a row, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) ended their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 campaign trophyless. The 6 consecutive wins feat seemed to have brought a never-seen-before hunger in the Bengaluru franchise but Rajasthan Royals ended their winning streak with an impressive victory in the Eliminator on Wednesday. Seeing Kohli end another season trophy-less, former England captain Kevin Pietersen urged the talismanic batter leave RCB and join his hometown club Delhi Capitals in the pursuit of title.
Kohli holds the Orange Cap this season, having aggregated 741 runs in 15 matches before the Rajasthan Royals ended his and his team’s journey in the T20 league. While Kohli’s bat has produced plenty of runs this season, he hasn’t had much support from other batters, while the bowling unit has performed below-par too.
“I have said it before and I will say it again — the greats of the game in other sports, have left teams to go and seek glory somewhere else. When he..

A UK-born teenager, who died in 2006 from leukemia, is set to become the Catholic Church’s first “millennial saint”.
Born in 1991 in London, Carlo Acutis was a computer prodigy who developed websites to spread the church’s teachings online before his death. He has since come to be known as “God’s influencer”.
After he died in Italy, where he lived with his parents, his body was moved to a tomb where it lay on full display along with his belongings.
The 15-year-old was put on the path of sainthood after a seven-year-old Brazilian boy reportedly recovered from a rare pancreatic disease after he touched one of Acutis’s t-shirts and a priest prayed to him on behalf of the child.
The recovery was deemed miraculous after it was assessed and approved by the Pope. In Catholicism, a person is qualified to be a saint if two miracles are attributed to them and approved by the Pope.
On Thursday, Pope Francis approved a second miracle attributed to Acutis, qualifying the teenager for canonisation…

Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserted had he been in power in 1971, he would have taken Kartapur Sahib from Pakistan before freeing their troops.
Addressing a rally in Punjab’s Patiala – his first in the state – for the seventh phase of Lok Sabha polls on June 1, PM Modi said Punjab and the Sikh community have always been at the forefront of national-building efforts. He lambasted the current AAP government over issues of corruption and drug trade.
He called Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann only a ‘kagazi Chief Minister’ – a Chief Minister on paper.
PM Modi brought up the emotive issue of the Kartarpur Sahib gurdwara, where Guru Nanak Dev spent the last years of his life and a place sacred to Sikhs, and blamed the Congress for the country’s Partition, saying they did it for the sake of power.
The Partition left Kartarpur Sahib in Pakistan’s Punjab, just a few kilometres away from the border with India. “For 70 years, we could have a ‘darshan’ of the Kartarpur Sahib gurdwara only with binoc..
