    Deepak Chahar Joins Mumbai Indians: IPL 2025 Mega Auction Highlights

    The 2025 IPL mega auction was full of surprises, with 577 players being sold over two exciting days in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. One of the biggest names on the move was Deepak Chahar, a top fast bowler in India. After having seven great years with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), he was let go before the auction and was picked up by the Mumbai Indians (MI) for a massive ₹9.25 crore!

    Chahar joined CSK in 2018 and became a very important part of their bowling team. He did a great job, especially in the first few overs of the game, helping CSK win three IPL titles in 2018, 2021, and 2023 with his key wickets and strong performance.

    Throughout 76 matches with CSK, he took 76 wickets, showing that he is one of the most dependable bowlers in the league. Chahar expressed his gratitude to MS Dhoni, the former captain of CSK, saying, “Mahi bhai has supported me from the start. That’s why I wanted to come here. However, my name came up during the second day of the auction, so I knew it would be hard for me to return to CSK.”

    Chahar also shared a sweet memory from 2021 when he proposed to his girlfriend, Jaya Bharadwaj, in the stands after a match. This made his IPL journey very special!

    Though it was tough for CSK to let go of Chahar, it turned out to be a big win for MI. With his talent and experience, Chahar will likely play a big role for MI in the upcoming season, adding even more strength to their strong bowling lineup.

  • Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde Sick, Major Decisions Expected Soon!

    Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde Sick, Major Decisions Expected Soon!

    Eknath Shinde, the Caretaker Chief Minister of Maharashtra, has been feeling unwell with a fever and throat infection for two days. According to his family doctor, he is recovering at his hometown in Satara district. A team of doctors is taking care of him.

    Shinde has been in the spotlight since the BJP, along with its Mahayuti alliance, won a big victory in the Maharashtra Assembly elections. This has made people curious about who the next chief minister will be. Earlier this week, Shinde said he would accept whatever decision Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP leadership make. That opens the door for the BJP to name Devendra Fadnavis as the new chief minister, although nothing is official yet.

    BJP state president Chandrashekhar Bawankule announced that the oath-taking ceremony for the new government will happen at 5 PM on December 5 in Azad Maidan, Mumbai, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be there.

    Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Shirsat said that Eknath Shinde is expected to make an important decision by Sunday. He mentioned that Shinde often goes to his village when he needs to think. By Monday evening, everything about ministry allocations will be clear.

    Ajit Pawar, the leader of NCP, stated that the next chief minister will be from the BJP, and there will be two deputy chief ministers from other alliance partners.

    In the recent elections, the BJP won 132 out of 288 seats, while the Shiv Sena won 57 and NCP got 41. The elections took place on November 20, and the results were announced on November 23.

  • Tragic Electrocution of Worker Amid Cyclone Fengal in Chennai

    Tragic Electrocution of Worker Amid Cyclone Fengal in Chennai

    In a heartbreaking event during the heavy rains caused by Cyclone Fengal in Tamil Nadu, a migrant worker named Chandan lost his life after he accidentally touched a live electric wire while trying to take out cash from an ATM in the Muthialpet area of Chennai.

    Chandan, who originally came from Odisha and worked at a private store in Parrys, went to the ATM near his home on Broadway. As he opened the door to the ATM, he touched a metal pole next to an electrical post and got electrocuted. The electric shock was so strong that it threw him onto the road.

    Nearby people rushed to help him and took him to a nearby government hospital, but sadly, he was declared dead when he arrived. This tragic incident happened as Tamil Nadu and nearby areas were facing heavy rains and flooding from Cyclone Fengal.

    The local police, known as Muthialpet police, are investigating this terrible incident.

    While Cyclone Fengal made landfall, it brought strong winds and heavy rains to Tamil Nadu, leading to widespread flooding in hospitals and homes. Roads were covered with water, and many people struggled to find shelter from the storm.

    Hospitals, including two state-run ones at Chromepet, had rainwater enter their buildings, affecting patients and staff. Officials worked hard to clear the floodwaters quickly.

  • Adani’s Strong Stand After US Indictments: Resilience and Compliance, Says Every Attack Makes Us Stronger

    Adani’s Strong Stand After US Indictments: Resilience and Compliance, Says Every Attack Makes Us Stronger

    Gautam Adani, the chairman of the Adani Group, spoke publicly for the first time after facing serious accusations and being charged in the US. He assured people that his company is dedicated to following the law and said, “Every attack makes us stronger.”

    Two weeks ago, the US Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charged Gautam Adani, Sagar Adani, and Vneet Jaain, leaders of Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL), with serious crimes. They are accused of misleading investors, fraud, and violating US rules in documents related to AGEL’s bonds. The Adani Group called these accusations false and plans to defend itself in court.

    At an award ceremony, Adani claimed that despite negative reports, no one from his company has been charged with breaking US laws. He expressed how misinformation travels faster than the truth but emphasized the group’s commitment to following the rules.

    Recently, Adani Green Energy cancelled a $600 million bond issue due to the charges. This bond was very popular, oversubscribed three times, right before the prosecutors announced the case against him and his associates for bribing Indian officials over solar power contracts.

    After the charges were made public, the stocks of Adani Group companies dropped significantly, losing about $26 billion in market value. However, they have started to bounce back, with many companies seeing stock prices rise recently.

    Adani shared how facing challenges is part of aiming high. He believes that these challenges only make the group stronger and tougher. He remarked that although they have had successes, the obstacles are even bigger.

    He mentioned how last year, the group stopped a huge share sale after a report from a US short-seller accused them of manipulating stocks. Despite this, their commitment to principles remained strong, and they raised funds from different international sources to reduce the company’s debt.

    He reminisced about investing in a coal mine in Australia, which faced a lot of resistance for nearly ten years. He stated that the challenges they faced during that project have made them resilient, as they now have a successful mine in Australia.

    Finally, Adani encouraged business leaders to embrace technology and sustainability for better future, empower skilled workers, and guide the younger generation to blend tradition with innovation.

  • Trump Warns BRICS: No New Currency or Face 100% Tariffs

    Trump Warns BRICS: No New Currency or Face 100% Tariffs

    US President-elect Donald Trump had a strong message for countries in the BRICS group (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa). He is asking them not to create or support a new currency that could replace the U.S. dollar. If they don’t listen, he warned they could face 100% tariffs—meaning their products would cost double when sold in the United States.

    On his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump said, “We need a promise from these countries that they won’t create a new BRICS Currency or back another currency that could take down the powerful U.S. Dollar. Otherwise, they should expect 100% tariffs and will have to say goodbye to selling in the amazing U.S. Economy.”

    He added, “Let them try to find another buyer. There’s no way BRICS can replace the U.S. Dollar in international trade. Any country that tries should prepare to say goodbye to America.”

  • Pakistan Accepts Hybrid Model for Champions Trophy with Major Conditions

    Pakistan Accepts Hybrid Model for Champions Trophy with Major Conditions

    The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has changed its mind about a boycott threat and said it will accept a ‘Hybrid’ model for the upcoming Champions Trophy. However, they want this model to apply to all future International Cricket Council (ICC) events in India until 2031.

    A PCB official reported that they are also asking for a bigger share of the money made from these events if they agree to the hybrid model. This model would mean that while India plays some of its matches in Dubai, Pakistan wouldn’t have to play any matches in India due to safety concerns. The Champions Trophy is scheduled for February-March next year.

    Earlier, the PCB threatened to boycott the tournament if they didn’t get full hosting rights and if India’s request for matches at a neutral venue was accepted. Now, PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi stated that they will only host the Champions Trophy if it applies to all future ICC events as well, meaning Pakistan would not have to travel to India for any matches.

    Until 2031, India is supposed to host three major ICC events, including the 2029 Champions Trophy which will be entirely in India. Because Bangladesh and Sri Lanka will co-host two other events, Pakistan doesn’t have to travel to India for these, except for the Champions Trophy in 2029.

    The uncertainty around next year’s Champions Trophy is expected to be solved soon as the ICC team will discuss Pakistan’s demands. Their meeting on Friday didn’t reach an agreement, and the ICC has told PCB to either accept the hybrid model or risk being left out of the tournament. The delay has postponed the announcement of the tournament schedule.

    The PCB source mentioned that Naqvi is standing firm on his views even under pressure. He’s also looking for a larger share of the revenue, increasing it from 5.75 percent. Although he hasn’t asked for extra hosting fees, he wants more financial support.

    There is talk that Naqvi might have sought permission from the government to share this stance in the ICC meeting. As the interior minister, he could face backlash if PCB is seen to be backing down without real benefits.

    Naqvi had earlier met with the Emirates Cricket Board to show Pakistan’s readiness to host the Champions Trophy, claiming everything is on track. However, the PCB has dismissed rumors that they would receive a bonus of $20 million on top of the $6 million hosting fees for agreeing to India’s demands. The PCB insists that it will continue to advocate for the hybrid model for all future matches between Pakistan and India at neutral venues.

  • Cybersecurity Challenges in Space: Protecting Our Missions

    Cybersecurity Challenges in Space: Protecting Our Missions

    Exploring space is exciting, but it comes with serious challenges. One of the biggest threats is cybercriminals who want to attack spacecraft, satellites, and space systems from Earth. These attacks are getting smarter and can cause big problems. Even small security breaches can lead to lost data, damaged equipment, or a loss of control over space missions.

    William Russell from the U.S. Government Accountability Office explains, “When a spacecraft is in space, you can’t easily fix it if something goes wrong.” Cyber threats can happen in three main areas: in space, on the ground, and within the connections that link them. Wayne Lonstein, CEO of VFT Solutions, warns that issues in our Earth-based infrastructure can also create problems in space.

    Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being used more in space missions. AI helps handle tasks, but it also makes these missions more vulnerable. For example, NASA uses AI in rovers on other planets. However, if hackers use techniques like “data poisoning,” it can lead to harmful outcomes. Sylvester Kaczmarek from OrbiSky Systems points out that if AI systems are hacked, they could disrupt important missions.

    The U.S. and China are in a competitive race in space and this competition may lead to more cyberattacks. Kaczmarek mentions that countries like China and Russia may target U.S. space assets to steal information or disrupt operations. Just last year, the U.S. government allowed hackers to try breaking into a satellite to find weaknesses before enemies could exploit them.

    To protect against these cyber threats, companies like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are teaming up with the U.S. Space Force to make sure space technologies are secure. According to Microsoft, they provide tools and cloud services to help defend against cyber-attacks in space.

    Despite these efforts, Lonstein cautions that being too reliant on technology could lead to failures. It’s important for human operators to keep their skills sharp for emergencies. The race for space requires constant attention to cybersecurity so that we can safely explore the universe

  • Man Arrested for Attacking Arvind Kejriwal During Public Walk

    Man Arrested for Attacking Arvind Kejriwal During Public Walk

    On Saturday, a man was arrested for throwing a liquid on Arvind Kejriwal, the leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), during his walk through south Delhi. Kejriwal was greeting people when the man, Ashok Jha, ran up and splashed him with the liquid. Quick-acting security grabbed Jha right away. Kejriwal and his team then had to wipe their faces clean.

    Jha works as a bus marshal at Khanpur Depot and lives nearby. The police said they caught him immediately and are investigating why he did it. Delhi minister Saurabh Bharadwaj claimed that Jha wanted to burn Kejriwal. He said Jha had a bottle of spirit (like rubbing alcohol) and a matchbox, but he couldn’t start a fire because of the quick response from others.

    After the incident, AAP blamed the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the attack, citing the rise in violence and crime in Delhi. Bharadwaj expressed concern about safety in the city and stated that the government is not doing enough to protect people.
