Indian cricket star Virat Kohli has said that he might not have another chance to play in Australia after his team lost the recent Test series 3-1. Although at 36 years old, Kohli is not ready to retire because he still loves playing cricket. In the first Test in Perth, he scored a great 100 runs, but overall he struggled during the series, making only 190 runs with an average of 23.75.
Kohli spoke at the RCB Innovation Lab Indian Sports Summit and shared that this series was very disappointing for him, and it reminded him of his tough time in England in 2014 when he only scored 134 runs. He said, “The recent Australia tour was very disappointing for me. I might not get to play there again for four years.”
Even though Kohli stopped playing T20 internationals after India’s World Cup victory last year, he still plays for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL. He is also an important player for the Indian Test team and helped them win the Champions Trophy last week.
Kohli emphasized that he plays cricket because of his love for the game, not just for achievements. He said, “As long as I love the game, I will continue playing.” Kohli reassured fans, “Don’t worry, I’m not retiring anytime soon; everything is fine.”

Warren Buffett’s Timeless Advice for Navigating Market Downturns
As the stock market faces many challenges, famous investor Warren Buffett shares important advice for people who invest their money: “Stay calm when everyone around you is panicking.” Buffett often looks at a poem called “If” by Rudyard Kipling to help him stay focused during tough times.
Right now, the market is very shaky. The Nasdaq Composite has dropped more than 10% from its recent high, and the S&P 500 is close to doing the same. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is also falling because people are worried about the economy slowing down.
There are concerns about trade problems, changes in government spending, and fears of a recession. The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta recently changed its growth estimate for the first quarter from a growth of 2.4% to a drop of 2.8%, suggesting a possible recession is on the way.
Even President Donald Trump said in an interview that things are uncertain, but investors are still being careful. Buffett has always said that you can’t predict how much the market will fall, and he recommends we stay calm and remember Kipling’s advice: If you can keep your cool when others can’t… If you can wait patiently… If you can trust yourself when others doubt you… then you will succeed.
Market drops of 10% or more happen regularly. Since 1980, the S&P 500 has gone through 21 of these drops, with an average fall of 14%. History shows that if you are patient, you usually win. According to Hartford Funds, bear markets—when stocks fall 20% or more—last about 10 months.
Buffett believes these downturns can be great chances to invest, reminding us that when there are big opportunities, we should take them, saying, “When it’s raining gold, reach for a bucket, not a thimble.” For those worried about the market now, Buffett’s advice is clear: Stay calm, don’t panic, and be disciplined.

Shocking Video of Toddler Fearlessly Playing with Snake Goes Viral
A shocking video of a little boy playing with a snake has gone viral online, leaving many people stunned. The video was shared on Instagram by @vivek_choudhary_snake_saver and shows the toddler treating the snake like a toy, completely unaware of how dangerous it is.
In the video, the boy plays with the snake, even picking it up by its head and looking at it closely. At one point, he bangs the snake on a chair, showing no fear. When the snake sticks out its tongue, the toddler gets scared and tries to push it away from the sofa.
What really upset viewers was that the adult filming didn’t stop the child. Instead of helping, they kept recording the dangerous situation. Finally, another adult steps in and takes the snake away before anyone gets hurt.
On social media, people are angry about the adults’ behavior. One user said, “This is horrifying! Who lets a toddler play with a snake?” Another person couldn’t believe they were just filming it, saying, “What is wrong with people today?” Many commenters were worried about the toddler’s safety, suggesting that the adults failed to protect him. One person stated, “One wrong move, and this could have ended badly.”
Some users thought the snake might be non-venomous, meaning it wouldn’t hurt the child. However, others pointed out that it’s still risky for a toddler to play with snakes. Many called for better education about nature, saying, “Kids should learn to respect wildlife, not treat it like a toy.”

Tribal Man Killed in Anti-Naxal Operation: Call for Investigation
A man named Hiran Singh Partha was killed during a police operation against Naxals (Maoists) in the Mandla district of Madhya Pradesh. Officials say he was a tribal member of the Baiga community and not a Maoist. The incident happened on March 9, but his identity was confirmed later on March 13. Police said Partha was in the jungle with Naxalites, but they don’t know why he was with them.
The opposition party, Congress, claims he was innocent and is asking for a detailed investigation. Congress Leader Narayan Singh Patta visited Partha’s village and spoke to his family. He said Partha was a good man who worked to support his family and might not have even known much about the Maoists.
After Partha was killed, the police arrested two other men who they say helped the Naxals by providing supplies. They have charged these men with serious crimes. A union leader for forest workers claimed that the two men are being falsely accused and plans to ask for their release. -
Mumbai Indians Win 2nd WPL Title with Harmanpreet’s Amazing Performance
On Saturday, the Mumbai Indians (MI) celebrated winning their second Women’s Premier League (WPL) title by beating the Delhi Capitals (DC) by just eight runs. This match was held at the Brabourne Stadium and was a repeat of last year’s final.
Harmanpreet Kaur, the MI captain, played an amazing game, scoring 66 runs off 44 balls, which was the best score in MI’s total of 149 runs for 7 wickets. Over the season, she scored 302 runs, the highest among the top five players, and her performances helped MI shine with great all-round players. One of them, Nat Sciver-Brunt, was the tournament’s top scorer and also took three wickets in the final.
As Sciver-Brunt defended a tricky 14 runs in the last over, MI players cheered and huddled together. Sadly for DC, this was their third final loss, all against MI. Even though the total runs seemed a bit low, MI had a strong chance to defend their score, and they needed to get DC’s strong opening batsmen out early.
Nat Sciver-Brunt took the first breakthrough by bowling out Meg Lanning with a clever delivery. In the next over, Shafali Verma was out LBW thanks to a perfect delivery from Shabnim Ismail. With both openers dismissed early, DC was in a tough spot. They needed a good partnership to recover, but Amelia Kerr struck again, getting Jess Jonassen to edge a catch.
After Jess, Annabel Sutherland was run out, and the pressure was on Jemimah Rodrigues. She tried to fight back with a couple of good shots but was out when aiming to push a simple delivery from Kerr. Soon, Sarah Bryce was also out due to a run-out, and it was left to Marizanne Kapp and Niki Prasad to get DC back in the game. Kapp played well, hitting 17 runs in one over, but after she got out, the chances for DC faded quickly.
Earlier, Kapp chose to bowl first, which paid off as she and Shikha Pandey bowled tightly, troubling MI’s openers. Kapp got Hayley Matthews out, and the MI batters struggled, crawling to just 20 runs after the first six overs.
Harmanpreet and Sciver-Brunt worked together to recover for MI, scoring run after run. Sciver-Brunt became the first player to score over 500 runs in a single WPL season. Harmanpreet’s shots were impressive, and she completed her half-century in just 33 balls.
Though MI lost a few wickets towards the end, Harmanpreet had already done enough to secure the win. It was a great night for Mumbai Indians as they took home the trophy again!

US Strikes in Yemen: 24 Dead, Trump Warns Iran
On Saturday, the United States carried out airstrikes in Yemen, resulting in 24 deaths. These strikes aimed at the Houthi rebels, who are supported by Iran, to protect American interests. The US Central Command shared pictures of military jets taking off from an aircraft carrier and bombs hitting a building in Yemen.
President Donald Trump announced the military action on Truth Social. He said he ordered these strikes because the Houthi rebels had been attacking ships and posing a threat to the United States and its allies. He warned Iran to stop supporting the Houthis immediately, saying that the US would hold them accountable if they didn’t.
The Houthis responded by saying they were ready to fight back. They condemned the airstrikes as a cruel act by the US and UK. The Houthis had also declared plans to continue disrupting shipping in the Red Sea unless Israel lifted its blockade on aid for Palestinians.
Earlier in the month, the US labeled the Houthis as a “foreign terrorist organization,” stating they had attacked American and allied ships many times this year. -

High Risk Storm Alert: Dangerous Tornadoes and Winds Coming!
A massive storm is on its way to the southern United States, and weather experts are warning everyone to pay attention. This Saturday, March 15, 2025, the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has put out a serious alert called a “high risk.” This means there’s a big chance of dangerous tornadoes, really strong winds, and huge hailstones. This isn’t just a regular storm; it could cause a lot of damage across several states.
What does “high risk” mean?
“High risk” is the most serious warning you can get about severe weather. It’s only issued when conditions are perfect for really bad storms. In the past, when this warning has been issued, it often led to tornadoes and serious destruction.
Which States Should Worry?
The states in the most danger, marked in bright purple on weather maps, include:
– Mississippi: Jackson, Hattiesburg, Meridian
– Alabama: Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Montgomery
– Louisiana: Shreveport, Monroe, Alexandria
People in these areas need to get ready for fast-changing weather and the chance of strong tornadoes.
Why is This Storm So Dangerous?
1. Super Powerful Tornadoes:
Experts predict there will be lots of tornadoes, some could be very strong (EF3-EF5). These tornadoes could be very wide and stay on the ground for a long time.
2. Large Hailstones:
Hail the size of baseballs (about 2.75 inches) could fall, breaking car windows and damaging buildings.
3. Very Strong Winds:
Wind speeds may go over 75 mph. This could knock down trees, power lines, and cause power outages. Flying debris could be dangerous, so stay indoors!
Have We Seen a Warning Like This Before?
Yes, previous high-risk warnings led to terrible damage. For example:
– May 6, 2024: A similar alert led to many tornadoes in Kansas and Oklahoma, wrecking homes and leaving people powerless.
– March 31, 2023: A massive tornado outbreak hit the Mississippi River Valley, ruining buildings and taking lives.
What Can You Do to Stay Safe?
1. Stay Updated:
Keep an eye on weather alerts from reliable sources like the National Weather Service and local news. Sign up for emergency alerts on your phone.
2. Find a Safe Space:
The safest spots during a storm are basements or rooms without windows. If you live in a mobile home, go to a safer building.
3. Prepare an Emergency Kit:
Pack essentials like water, food that doesn’t spoil, first-aid items, flashlights, and batteries. Make sure phones are charged!
4. Follow Evacuation Orders:
If authorities say to evacuate, leave immediately. Don’t try to drive through floodwaters or areas with tornado warnings.
What Happens After the Storm?
The severe weather could continue into Sunday, March 16, 2025. States like Georgia, Tennessee, and the Carolinas might still face heavy rain and tornado risks. Even places not in the main danger zone need to be careful.
This Storm is Serious
This isn’t just another storm. When a “high risk” alert is issued, it often means life-threatening weather. Take action now: Stay informed, prepare your home, and have a safety plan. This storm could be historic—don’t get caught unprepared! -
Trump’s Death Stare: Reporter Mic Mishap Goes Viral!
A recent encounter between an American reporter and Donald Trump became very popular online. The moment went viral after Trump made a funny yet sharp “death stare” at the reporter when her microphone accidentally hit him in the face while he was talking about Gaza.
The incident was caught on camera, and people quickly shared it on social media. The president raised his eyebrow and flashed an icy look at the reporter. Trump laughed and told her, “Did you see that?” mixing humor and irritation.
This awkward moment happened as Trump was getting ready to leave Washington DC. He was surrounded by reporters when one asked him about Gaza, and suddenly the reporter’s microphone bumped into his face.
People had mixed reactions to the video. Some found it funny, while others were surprised by Trump’s serious glare. There were even some wild theories, with one social media user suggesting that there might be dangerous substances, like anthrax, on the microphone, and that security should be stricter. Laura Loomer, a political activist, raised concerns about how close the microphone got to Trump, saying, “This just doesn’t seem right.”
In other news, the United States announced it wants to keep the ceasefire in Gaza going while talks continue for a permanent peace deal with Hamas. However, the U.S. said Hamas wants demands that are hard to meet. A spokesperson for Hamas praised Trump after he said, “Nobody is expelling any Palestinians from Gaza” during a meeting with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin.
