Virat Kohli and Vaibhav Suryavanshi

New Delhi: Former India and CSK batsman Subramaniam Badrinath has given his best performance IPL 2026 Playing XI for the league stage, and the biggest talking point was the exclusion of superstars Virat Kohli and KL Rahul. Instead, Badrinath chose young opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi along with Shubman Gill at the top of the order, revealing the lineup in a video on his YouTube channel.Their team was largely built around players from the top four teams that qualified for the playoffs, with nine of the 12 selections coming from those teams. Badrinath preferred an Indian-heavy batting lineup and relied primarily on foreign stars in the bowling department, which reflects how many IPL franchises are typically structured.At number three, he chose Sai Sudarshan, while Heinrich Klaasen was selected as the middle-order powerhouse. Rajat Patidar also earned a place in the team as a finisher due to his impressive strike rate and ability to accelerate in pressure situations, even though he was not among the top run-scorers of the tournament.Badrinath’s lineup was heavily tilted towards bowlers and all-rounders in the lower order. He selected spin all-rounders Krunal Pandya and Sunil Narine for their wicket-taking ability and economical spells during the season.One surprising omission was Rashid Khan, despite his strong wickets. It appears that Badrinath gives importance to economy rate and controlling the wicket count only.The pace attack included the tournament’s leading wicket-takers: Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jofra Archer and Kagiso Rabada. He also added Prince Yadav or Karthik Tyagi as additional pace options, while Akeal Hossein was selected as an impact player.Subramaniam Badrinath IPL 2026 XII: Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Shubman Gill, Sai Sudarshan, Heinrich Klaasen, Rajat Patidar, Krunal Pandya, Sunil Narine, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Joffra Archer, Kagiso Rabada, Prince Yadav/Karthik Tyagi

Fourth CNG price hike: IGL hikes rates by Rs 2 across NCR region

Fourth CNG price hike: IGL hikes rates by Rs 2 across NCR region

Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) on Tuesday announced another increase in compressed natural gas (CNG) rates, taking the number of hikes to four in less than two weeks. The latest revision saw CNG prices rise by Rs 2 per kg. The latest hike comes after IGL increased CNG prices by Rs 2 per kg on Saturday. Earlier, rates were increased by Rs 2 per kg on May 15, followed by an increase of Re 1 on May 17. The repeated increase in CNG prices comes amid higher global energy prices linked to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, oil marketing companies (OMCs) on Monday announced another hike in petrol and diesel prices, taking the cumulative increase to around Rs 7.5 per litre. Petrol prices were raised by Rs 2.61 per liter and diesel by Rs 2.71 per litre, the fourth fuel price hike in less than two weeks. According to industry sources, petrol prices in the national capital rose to Rs 102.12 from Rs 99.51 per litre, while diesel rates rose to Rs 95.20 from Rs 92.49 per litre. Continued increases in fuel prices are expected to put pressure on transportation costs and household budgets as consumers face higher spending amid volatility in global energy markets.Meanwhile, the Middle East conflict that began with the US and Israel launching joint strikes on Iran on February 28 continues to intensify. Following the attack, Iran tightened its noose on the strategically important Strait of Hormuz, the pipeline that carries 20% of the world’s fuel supply, causing a worldwide uproar.

Megyn Kelly says ‘Trump cheated on every one of his wives’, internet wonders what happened to them

Megyn Kelly says 'Trump cheated on every one of his wives', internet wonders what happened to them
Megyn Kelly says Trump cheated on all his wives.

Conservative commentator Megyn Kelly’s explosive claim that President Donald Trump cheated on his wife has gone viral and left the Internet wondering what happened to Kelly, who once called Trump a “savior” of women. Kelly said, “Trump has cheated on each of his wives. He met Marla Maples when he was married to Ivana, the mother of his children.” On Ivana’s rape allegation, which he later withdrew, Kelly said he didn’t know what happened there but it was not a good relationship. “He ended up with Melania and if you think Trump has been faithful to Melania, you have bigger issues than I can solve,” Megyn Kelly said in an appearance on the Hodgetwins podcast.The comments were in reference to President Trump’s dig at his former National Counterterrorism Center director Joe Kent. Kent resigned from the Trump administration over the Iran war, but Trump launched a character assassination after he suggested Kent remarried “fairly soon” after the death of his first wife, Shannon, in 2019.Kelly began to distance himself from the President and MAGA because he did not support the Iran war. But his reversal on an issue on which he had championed Trump in the past left no room for him to escape judgment.Laura Loomer wrote, “Megyn Kelly has always been an opportunistic snake.” “It was a big mistake for Trump’s campaign staff to allow that person on stage at his rallies.”Conservative commentator Goldberg wrote, “I love how MAGA supporters, who ignored or even celebrated Trump’s character flaws, now suddenly realize them and pretend to be brave truth-tellers.” “When it cost them, they happily promoted the cult. Now they’re saying ‘Oh my God, it’s a cult! Why can’t you watch it?!'”Commenter Bonch wrote, “Seeing Megyn, who spent the last several years declaring herself some kind of MAGA queen, now making it the talk of 2016 is hilarious.” “I mean, if it was an issue for you, why wasn’t it an issue a year ago?”

Why is PewDiePie ending his YouTube vlogs? The poignant reason behind the end of their family series

Why is PewDiePie ending his YouTube vlogs? The poignant reason behind the end of their family series
PewDiePie has announced that his monthly YouTube vlogs will end in September 2026 after nearly four years. This decision was largely driven by his desire for his son Björn to grow up away from the Internet and choose for himself whether or not he wanted to be seen online in the future. While the vlogs are coming to an end, Felix and Marzia said they still occasionally share family moments through social media.

For nearly four years, PewDiePie’s monthly vlogs have offered fans a rare look at a quieter chapter of his life. What began as a way to document his stay in Japan gradually evolved into a family-focused series featuring his wife Marzia and their young son, Björn. Now, that chapter is closing.In a new vlog covering April and May 2026, Long youtube The producer said that the series will end in September. The announcement was a surprise to many viewers, but the decision comes amid a growing concern among many parents living in the digital age: giving children the freedom to grow up away from the spotlight.

PewDiePie explains that his son Bjorn played a role in the decision

The latest vlog was in a familiar format. Felix Kjellberg took a trip to Japan, joining fellow creator Connor “cdogva” for a charity bike ride and spending time with family in Osaka. Björn was ever-present throughout the video, which ultimately resulted in the family having to make a difficult decision.At the end of the vlog, PewDiePie addressed the audience directly.“I have some bad news. Marzia and I have already announced on our blog post that we have decided… that we are going to shut down the vlog in September.”The attached post on Kjellberg’s mail provided more context. As Björn approaches his third birthday in July, Felix and Marzia believe it is time to create more distance between their son’s childhood and their online audience.“But now Björn is turning 3 in July, and we’ve decided that we’ll stop the vlog in September. I wanted to share it now so it wouldn’t be a surprise. The main reason is that we want Björn to grow up outside the Internet and enjoy life on his own terms. If one day he wants to be a part of my videos, I would never stop him, but I think the choice should be his.”

PewDiePie vlogs may be over, but fans will still see family updates

This announcement marks the end of a project that wasn’t supposed to last that long. According to Felix, the original idea was simply to document the changes in life in Japan. The overwhelmingly positive audience response changed those plans.“We started these about four years ago before we moved to Japan… and we thought we could just share what it’s like to transition to this new country. And that’s it. Maybe one or two, you know, but the outpouring of love and support has really inspired us to keep vlogging.”As Bjorn grows up, PewDiePie feels that the decision to appear online should ultimately be his.“We feel like he’s so much a part of our lives that continuing the vlog would mean Bjorn would be part of the vlog. I think we feel like it would be very much a part of my channel, Bjorn would be very much a part of my, uh, kind of thing. If he wants to be a part of it… that should be his choice afterward.”The family is not planning to disappear completely. In his blog post, he noted that occasional moments can still be shared through social media. However, for now, PewDiePie is choosing privacy over content, allowing his son to grow up without cameras documenting his every move. In an era when many creators are increasingly showcasing their children online, this move comes across as a deliberate effort to put that choice in Bjorn’s hands once he’s old enough to create it himself.

Gerard Piqué may have retired from professional football, but his personal life still attracts attention. While his ex Shakira recently made global headlines with another milestone, the former Barcelona defender has been quietly building a life with Clara Chia Martí, away from the spotlight. The pair, first confirmed together in August 2022, were recently photographed on a romantic trip to Venice, exploring the city’s canals and nearby islands at their own pace.

Who is Clara Chia Martí?

Clara Chia Martí is a Spanish public relations professional who has stayed out of the limelight despite global attention to her romance with Gerard Piqué. She is based in Catalonia, and has largely stayed out of the media spotlight, with a private Instagram account with few posts and followers, including Piqué.Unlike many public figures associated with specific athletes, she has not been thrust into the spotlight and rarely appears in interviews or public announcements. His laid-back attitude has shaped fans’ view of Piqué’s place in his post-football life. Their profile was further raised by their visit to Venice, which brought their relationship back into the international spotlight.

When did Gerard Piqué and Clara Chia Martí start dating?

Gerard Piqué and Clara Chia Martí were first linked in August 2022, just months after his split from Shakira was confirmed. The first sighting was at the Summerfest Cerdanya music festival, where they were photographed together in the crowd and reports pointed to their closeness.Their relationship became more visible over time, including at social events such as a wedding in Catalonia, Spain. Piqué announced the relationship on Instagram in January 2023, turning it from speculation to fact. Since then public interest has remained steady.

How private is Clara Chia Martí’s life with Piqué?

Despite continued public interest, Clara Chia Martí and Gérard Piqué have maintained a largely private relationship. Marty keeps her social media restricted, and the couple rarely share personal updates. Their time together included traveling throughout Europe, including trips to France, where they visited Paris and toured the city with friends on electric scooters.He also traveled to the Czech Republic, where he was seen with Piqué’s brother Mark and his wife Maria. Even during these outings, he avoided heavy media contact, choosing discretion rather than publicity.

How is Clara Chia Martí and Piqué’s relationship mentioned in Shakira’s lyrics?

Shakira’s music kept Gérard Pique and Clara Chia Martí in the global spotlight after the breakup, with songs that connected to their personal experiences. At BZRP Music Session #53, she sang: “Sorry baby, I should have kicked you out a while ago / A wolf like me is not for beginners / A wolf like me is not for beginners like you,” she sang, partially alluding to her 2009 hit “She Wolf”, which was released just before the pair first met in 2010. “I’m too good for you, and that’s why you’re with someone like you.”He also added the obvious reference in another line: “You left me with my mother-in-law as my neighbor / Media outlets on my doorstep and in debt to the government,” and finally adding “Women don’t cry anymore, they make money.” In her later track “TQG” she contemplates moving on: “Seeing you with the new me hurts / But I’m already on my own,” and later, “It doesn’t make me angry, I laugh.”She also hinted at comparison and rivalry in another verse: “I wish you all the best for my supposed replacement / I don’t even know what happened to you,” and “You’re going fast, going slowly / Spend a lot of time in the gym, but your brain needs a little work too.”Clara Chia Martí’s rise to public attention has been largely influenced by the global headlines surrounding her relationship with Gérard Piqué and her life after Shakira. Although she maintains a private profile, her appearances with Piqué continue to generate curiosity across media and social platforms. Their relationship, although low-key, is closely watched due to its time, visibility and cultural impact spanning beyond football and into entertainment headlines.

'If Trump didn't want me I wouldn't be here': Marco Rubio reacts to US President's 'hellhole' comment

New Delhi: President donald trump Loves India and is a big fan Prime Minister Narendra ModiUS Secretary of State said marco rubio On Monday, the President called India hell while responding to questions about his alleged support for “racist comments” made earlier.“I wouldn’t be here if the President didn’t want me to be here. He cares — he wouldn’t have sent someone like Sergio (Gore), who is very close to the President, as our ambassador,” Rubio said.Responding to a question at a media briefing on Sunday, Rubio said that there are stupid people everywhere who say stupid things. However, the traveling American media brought to his attention on Monday that the question was about support for Trump’s Hellhole comment. Rubio said he had assumed the question at the briefing was about random voices.Rubio also said that India had not raised the issue of Pakistan’s meddling in the US-Iran war in his meeting with S Jaishankar on Sunday.The Secretary of State said, “India has always pointed out the fact that there are armed terrorist groups operating from Pakistani territory that target India. There are always concerns about this.”He said, “But as far as their role as mediator and facilitator of the Iran situation is concerned, it never came up. I don’t think they were complaining about it. I mean, their issue with Pakistan is different.”Asked about talks with Iran, he said there was “quite concrete” on the table in terms of the possible opening of the Strait of Hormuz, reiterating that some good news could be coming soon. However, he also said that Trump was not in a hurry.“He’s not going to make a bad deal, and the president isn’t going to make a bad deal either. So we’ll see what happens. We’ll give diplomacy every chance to succeed before we explore alternatives,” Rubio said.
