David Warner, a famous former cricket player from Australia, is about to start his first season in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) this year. He will be the captain of the Karachi Kings. Warner has played in many different cricket leagues around the world, but he couldn’t join the PSL before because he was busy with other matches. Now that he has retired from international cricket, he has the time to play.
During a press conference before the opening match against Mohammad Rizwan’s Multan Sultans, a Pakistani reporter asked Warner about some negative comments he received from Indian fans for playing in the PSL. The reporter said that some people are upset because Warner wasn’t chosen during the IPL auction last year. Warner said he had never heard of this before. “I want to play cricket,” he explained. “I have a chance to be in the PSL now, and I’m excited to compete with Karachi Kings to try to win the trophy.”
Last season, Warner played for the Delhi Capitals in the IPL and led the team after Rishabh Pant could not play due to a car accident. However, Delhi released him before the auction in November.
Warner’s IPL Success
Warner is the highest-scoring overseas player in IPL history, with 6,565 runs in 184 games. He has played for two teams: the Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Warner had some of his best performances with Sunrisers, even leading them to victory in 2016. Right now, he is the fourth-highest run-scorer in the entire IPL, behind only Indian players Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, and Rohit Sharma.

Dr. Mithal Receives Prestigious Award for Osteoporosis Research Achievements
A respected Indian doctor, Dr. Ambrish Mithal, just received a special award called the 2025 Committee of Scientific Advisors Medal of Achievement from the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF). This was announced on Friday and celebrated at an important event called the World Congress on Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis & Musculoskeletal Diseases in Rome, Italy.
This award recognizes people who have made significant contributions to the field of osteoporosis, a condition that makes bones weak. Dr. Mithal has helped many people understand and deal with osteoporosis better through his research and work.
Dr. Mithal is the head of endocrinology and diabetes at Max Healthcare in India, and he has been a member of the IOF’s Committee of Scientific Advisors for a long time. Professor Eugene McCloskey, who is the chair of this committee, praised Dr. Mithal for being a leader in endocrinology, especially in India.
Since 1996, Dr. Mithal has been the first in India to measure bone density and set up services for osteoporosis. He has been important in encouraging research about bone health in the region. He has also led projects that helped understand vitamin D levels around the world, which are important for bone health.
In 2015, Dr. Mithal was awarded the Padma Bhushan, one of India’s highest civilian awards, for his medical work.
“Osteoporosis is a condition many people in India don’t know much about. As our population ages, it’s becoming more common, and we need to be aware of it,” Dr. Mithal said. He feels honored to receive this award and hopes to keep raising awareness about osteoporosis and how to prevent it. -

Tahawwur Hussain Rana, an important suspect in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, is being held at the National Investigation Agency (NIA) headquarters. Because of his presence, Gate No. 2 at the nearby Jawaharlal Nehru Metro Station has been closed for two days in a row.
On Friday morning, the NIA took 64-year-old Rana into custody for 18 days. They will question him thoroughly to learn more about the whole plan behind the attacks that shocked Mumbai and killed 166 people. A spokesperson for the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) said that Gate No. 2 will stay closed until they get more instructions from the police. Although this gate is now shut, all other gates at the station are open, and metro services are running normally.
Rana was brought to NIA headquarters early Friday after a special court agreed to let them keep him for 18 days. The NIA stated that during this time, they will ask him many questions to uncover the complete story behind the attacks. Rana is known to be a close associate of David Coleman Headley, who is considered the mastermind behind the terror attacks.
On November 26, 2008, ten terrorists from Pakistan attacked various places in Mumbai, including luxury hotels, a train station, and a Jewish center. The attacks lasted about 60 hours and caused great tragedy, claiming 166 lives. -
Dhoni Leads CSK at Chepauk: Key Match Insights
MS Dhoni came back as the captain of the Chennai Super Kings after two years, and the fans at Chepauk were super excited to see him. Although Dhoni didn’t win the toss (which is when captains decide which team bats or bowls first), the crowd still cheered loudly for him. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) captain Ajinkya Rahane won the toss and chose to bowl first.
When Dhoni got the microphone to speak, the noise from the crowd was overwhelming. Former India coach Ravi Shastri finally got to ask Dhoni about the team. Dhoni mentioned that they wanted to bat first because the pitch tends to slow down as the game goes on, making it hard to score runs later if they don’t start well.
Shastri asked about Ruturaj Gaikwad, a key player who was out of the tournament due to an injured elbow. Dhoni called Ruturaj a true talent and said his absence would be a big loss for the team.
Dhoni, leading the team during a tough time, talked about how important every game is now because they’ve lost four out of their five matches. He emphasized that they need to focus on the basics, like taking catches and not letting one over ruin the game.
KKR made one change, bringing in Moeen Ali, while CSK made two changes, adding Rahul Tripathi and Anshul Kamboj to the team.
Chennai Super Kings Team:
– Rachin Ravindra
– Devon Conway
– Rahul Tripathi
– Vijay Shankar
– Shivam Dube

Akshay Kumar on Film Criticism: Social Impact Matters More Than Titles
Mumbai: Actor Akshay Kumar shared his thoughts on the criticism aimed at his movies like “Padman.” He confidently stated that only a “fool” would speak poorly about films that promote important social issues. However, when he learned that Jaya Bachchan had criticized his film “Toilet Ek Prem Katha,” he quickly changed his tune. He acknowledged that if she finds the title unacceptable, then he respects her opinion.
In response to questions about criticism, Akshay asserted, “I don’t think anyone has criticized my films; only a silly person would do that.” He proudly mentioned his films like “Padman,” “Airlift,” “Toilet Ek Prem Katha,” and “Kesari,” explaining that he made them with great care and passion. He believes these films teach valuable lessons.
“Toilet Ek Prem Katha” supports the government initiative to stop open defecation. Jaya Bachchan recently expressed her disapproval, stating she would never watch a movie with “toilet” in its title, questioning, “Is that really a name?” Akshay explained his goal of creating positive change with his films. He mentioned, “Toilet was made to encourage building toilets in homes, and the government shows it for free in villages. ‘Padman’ helps daughters talk to their fathers about periods. These issues matter and need attention.”
Akshay’s upcoming movie “Kesari 2,” which stars Ananya Panday and R Madhavan, is set to release on April 18 and is produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions. -

JLR Surpasses Audi: A New Era for Luxury Car Sales!
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), owned by Tata, has made it to the top three luxury car brands in the market. They have moved ahead of Audi and sold over 50,000 luxury cars in the fiscal year 2025, even though this is just a 3% increase, the slowest growth in three years.
During the last part of the year, from January to March 2025, sales dropped because of issues with the stock market and worries about the economy. Despite that, the total sales reached 51,406 cars for the whole year, a slight increase compared to before.
JLR did really well this year, especially since there were very few Jaguar models available—all thanks to the Defender, Range Rover, and Range Rover Sport vehicles. They sold 6,183 Defender SUVs, which is an impressive 40% increase compared to last year’s sales of 4,417. Audi, on the other hand, sold 5,990 cars, which is a drop of 15% from last year’s 7,027 units.
Rajan Amba, the Managing Director of JLR India, mentioned that the Defender was their best-selling model, growing by 90% this year. The Range Rover and Range Rover Sport models also did well with growth rates of 72% and 42%, respectively. He’s hopeful that this positive trend continues into the next year.
In contrast, Audi is facing problems, partly due to limited car availability and issues surrounding the Red Sea crisis. Even though they started 2025 with some growth, they see challenges ahead until new cars are released.
Despite JLR’s strong performance, they are still behind Mercedes-Benz and BMW, which are the top two brands in luxury cars. Mercedes-Benz sold 18,928 vehicles this year, marking a 4% increase. BMW’s sales also went up by 5%, reaching 15,266 cars. Mercedes’ CEO stated that new car releases and network improvements have helped boost sales but warned that overall industry sales could be flat or decline in the next year.
Vikram Pawah, CEO of BMW India, talked about the steady demand for their cars, especially electric vehicles. He is confident that they will continue to grow in this area.
