Mumbai: IPL-2026 will be known as continuous run-fest. Scores above 200 and even 220 are no longer exceptional. They are regularly chased, leading to concerns that the balance has tipped heavily towards the batsmen. Flat pitches along with the impact player rule have led to the batting line-up being deepened to numbers 8 or 9, reducing the margin of error for the bowlers.Recent games highlight this trend. Punjab Kings achieved a lofty target of 265 runs against Delhi Capitals in Delhi, while Sunrisers Hyderabad posted a modest score of 244 runs. Mumbai Indians In Wankhede. On surfaces that provide less support, bowlers have been forced to rethink their approach.Punjab Kings and New Zealand fast bowlers lockie ferguson He believes that not complaining, but adapting is the way forward. “Coming into the tournament, you know it’s going to be high-scoring. The curators are preparing great wickets, and the batting talent in India is improving. Every year there are new players coming up who can play all the shots,” Ferguson said on Saturday. “As bowlers, we have to adjust our mindset. If the score is par 200, the aim is to pull it back by 10-15 runs.”Earlier, Sunrisers Hyderabad spin-bowling coach Muttiah Muralitharan had sparked debate by suggesting that entertainment drives such batting-friendly conditions. The Sri Lankan great had said, “If you give fair wickets, the crowd can get bored. T20 fans want entertainment. It is big business now. Bowlers will adapt.”Ferguson’s own IPL journey this season has been unconventional. The 34-year-old player decided to delay his arrival to spend time with his wife and newborn son, giving priority to family in the early stages of the tournament. He said, “There’s always an opportunity cost, but I chose to stay home. I had honest conversations with management and they were supportive. Family comes first, and I’m grateful for that.”However, getting back into the toughest T20 league in the world has not been easy. In his only appearance so far, Ferguson was dismissed by Rajasthan Royals’ Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal for 57 runs in four overs. “It’s not easy to jump straight from training into the IPL. It’s a tough competition at the best of times, and even tougher in the middle,” he admitted.

Adam Beck was asked again and again by various people for several weeks whether he was the inventor of Bitcoin. He isn’t, he says. In early April, The New York Times, after analyzing articles from the early cypherpunk era, suggested that Adam Back was the most credible candidate by far for Satoshi Nakamoto, which he has been saying for several years since he released Bitcoin’s design paper in 2008 and disappeared in 2011. A documentary released a few weeks later proposed two other candidates. Beck did what he usually does, which is to deny the allegation, explain why people keep doing this, and get back to work. “For the record, it’s not me,” he said in a polite tone in late April. “It’s very difficult to prove a negative.”‘The mystery surrounding the founder helped Bitcoin grow’Repetition doesn’t seem to bother him. The mystery has been useful, he says. A Bitcoin without a known founder is a Bitcoin without a single point of capture, without a chief executive to summon, a founding team to coerce, a charismatic individual whose departure could destabilize the network. He believes this is part of why the asset has reached the position it now occupies. “It helps us understand Bitcoin more as a digital commodity rather than as shares in a startup,” he told Bloomberg on the sidelines of the Bitcoin 2026 conference in Las Vegas. “No one has a particularly strong influence.”Beck is British, holds a doctorate in computer science and is the chief executive of Blockstream, one of the oldest and best-capitalized infrastructure companies in the Bitcoin ecosystem. He is one of the few known people whose work has clearly influenced the design of Bitcoin. His 1997 paper on Hashcash – a proof-of-work algorithm to combat email spam – is cited in Satoshi’s 2008 whitepaper. More than a decade before Bitcoin was released, he was working on the problem of digital scarcity, according to his own account.‘An optimistic change’This asset is now held in regulated exchange-traded funds by the world’s largest asset managers, packaged by Nasdaq-listed firms to grab supply and debated on Wall Street as a candidate to hedge institutional portfolios.His view of change is clearly optimistic, given how far Bitcoin has traveled from the specific, conceptual project he helped create. ETFs and corporate treasury vehicles that have accumulated hundreds of billions of dollars of bitcoin are “effectively custodians on behalf of other investors,” Backe said. Multiple custodians, regulatory oversight, the constant availability of self-custody for those who want it: In the structure, he says, there are “barriers and competitors” that prevent any single entity from taking over the network.

New Delhi: Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee on Saturday attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Election Commission after fresh polling was announced in Falta assembly constituency following reports of “serious electoral crimes and subversion of the democratic process” during the second phase of polling on April 29.Responding to BJP leader Amit Malviya’s social media post on Twitter, the TMC MP from Diamond Harbor challenged the “anti-Bangla Gujarati gang” to contest from Falta.Banerjee wrote in a social media post on Twitter, “Ten births will not be enough for your anti-Bangla Gujarati gang and their sycophant Gyanesh Kumar to make even a dent in my Diamond Harbor model. Bring everything you have. I challenge the entire Indian Union – come to Falta.”He said, “Send your strongest, send a godfather from Delhi. If you have the courage, contest the elections in Falta.”The Election Commission on Saturday announced re-polling in Falta on May 21, with counting taking place on May 24.BJP co-in-charge in West Bengal Amit Malviya had alleged that voters were prevented from choosing party candidates at several polling stations in Falta under Diamond Harbor constituency during the second phase of the assembly elections.The buttons were defaced with black masking tape and ink, affecting 60 out of 285 polling stations – 21% of the constituency. There were 53,967 voters (22.8% of 2.36 lakh voters) at these booths.“This compromised the integrity of the recorded votes and made it impossible to trace the mandate,” the EC said. The gaps in the video footage mean that similar acts of tampering elsewhere in Falta cannot be ruled out.This is the first time in Bengal where voting will take place in a full assembly constituency after the results are declared. Only Bihar got priority in India. The EC said that investigation into the complaints found large-scale tampering with EVMs at many booths.Meanwhile, tension spread in Hasimnagar, an area of ​​Falta along the Hooghly river corridor, where villagers alleged receiving threats from associates of TMC candidate Jahangir Khan.Police supervisor Ajaypal Sharma, a DIG who oversees the Diamond Harbor subdivision on the southern edge of the city, rushed to the area as residents complained of inaction.Security has been beefed up with the deployment of state police and central forces. The Election Commission later ordered the arrest of two of Khan’s associates, Israfil Chokdar and Sujauddin Shaikh. The counter order has removed Falta from Monday’s count, shifting focus to the remaining seats that will determine the next government.

New Delhi: Competition between just before IPL 2026 Chennai Super Kings And Mumbai Indians At MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk, Suryakumar Yadav Have shared a picture on social media with Rohit Sharma And ms dhoni. She captioned it, “Got a group DP; just suggest group name (I’ve got the perfect display picture for the group; just suggest some strong group name)”, inviting fans to come up with a name for the trio’s group.Fans were thrilled to see the three T20 World Cup-winning captains in one frame and flooded social media with their suggestions. Among the many reactions, the Board of Control for Cricket in India caught attention by quoting Surya’s post and suggesting a unique name: “The Cup-tans.”After CSK won the match, the broadcasters invited Surya and talked about that moment.“We have seen the iconic picture and you also asked that you have got the DP of your group but did not get the name. Some suggestions came. How was that moment for me to make my dream come true because when I thought that I will play cup cricket for India, when will I win the match, but you are not even thinking that you will ever get 1 chance to lead India, but that too 1 chance, I got a chance to lead India, I got a chance to lead India and by the grace and blessings of God, I got a chance to lead India. [We saw that iconic picture—you even asked and said that you got the group DP but not the name, and there were some suggestions. What was that moment like? For me, it was a dream come true because when I had thought that I would play cup cricket for India and win matches, you don’t even think that you will ever get an opportunity to lead India. But I got that one opportunity to lead India, and by God’s grace and blessings, I got the chance to lead India]Surya said.India defeated the New Zealand national cricket team in the 2026 T20 World Cup final at the Narendra Modi Stadium on March 8, 2026. India scored 255/5 and then bowled out New Zealand for 159 runs to win the title.Surya became the third Indian captain to win the T20 World Cup after MS Dhoni in 2007 and Rohit Sharma in 2024.“We won that tournament in India, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, where we could not win in 2023, so I think for me, that memory will always be with me, that memory was a very precious moment for me. I’m sure it would have been for everyone for the whole of poor India and for all the Indians around the world, so it was a special moment. [We won that tournament in India, in Ahmedabad at the Narendra Modi Stadium, where we couldn’t win in 2023. So I think for me, that will always stay with me—that memory was a very precious moment for me. I am sure it must have been the same for all of India and for Indians across the world, so it was a special moment],” He said.“And then after that, when we were playing the first game with Chennai, then it came to my mind that if there is this picture, if maybe the captain who won the first World Cup for India in T20 and the one who has won in Twenty Twenty-four is also there and we have won in Twenty-six, I was also there so I thought if we can make a photo then I think it will be a special memory for life and obviously for everyone. [After that, when we were playing the first game against Chennai on Kede, it came to my mind that if this picture could happen—with the captains who had earlier won the T20 World Cup for India, the one who won in 2024 also being there, and if we win in 2026 and I am there too—then I thought if we could create that photo, it would be a special memory for me for a lifetime and obviously for everyone]Surya said.“So I came here yesterday and thought that there is a possibility in Chennai that I got 1 percent chance, so I went and first asked Rohit Bhai, then Rohit Bhai said, then I asked Mahi Bhai, it felt good to ask him too, both of them said yes, then I did not wait for a moment, I said let’s quickly take that photo in the morning, it is too much. [So I thought when I came here yesterday in Chennai, there was a possibility—I got that 1 percent chance. I first went and asked Rohit bhai, then Rohit bhai spoke, then I asked Mahi bhai as well. It felt good to ask them, and both of them said yes. So I didn’t wait for a moment—I said let’s quickly take that photo in the morning. It’s very, very special]”he adds.

उत्तर प्रदेश के गाजियाबाद में गौर ग्रीन एवेन्यू सोसायटी में लगी भीषण आग के बाद अब जांच और राहत कार्य तेज कर दिया गया है. शुक्रवार को बिल्डर कंपनी गौर संस की तकनीकी टीम ने मौके पर पहुंचकर प्रभावित टावर-डी का निरीक्षण किया। टीम ने आग से क्षतिग्रस्त हुए फ्लैटों और भवन संरचनाओं की स्थिति की मैन्युअल रूप से जांच की। हालांकि, पीड़ित परिवारों ने इस पर नाराजगी जताई और मैकेनिकल जांच की मांग की. मामले की जांच के लिए शनिवार को प्रशासनिक टीम भी पहुंचेगी. इस हादसे ने समाज के लोगों को झकझोर कर रख दिया है.

मैनुअल जांच पर उठे सवाल
गौड़ संस की टीम ने दीवारों, बीम और कॉलम की स्थिति का भौतिक निरीक्षण किया। लेकिन कुछ निवासियों ने कहा कि मशीन के बिना संरचनात्मक ऑडिट करने का कोई मतलब नहीं है। अब कंपनी की टीम अत्याधुनिक मशीनें लेकर दोबारा आएगी, जिसके बाद ही पूरी रिपोर्ट तैयार हो सकेगी।

फायर एनओसी के बाद ही नवीनीकरण होगा
आरडब्ल्यूए पदाधिकारियों के मुताबिक अभी तक किसी भी फ्लैट की रिपोर्ट पूरी नहीं हुई है। जब तक अग्निशमन विभाग से एनओसी नहीं मिल जाती, मरम्मत या नवीनीकरण का काम शुरू नहीं किया जायेगा. लोगों को फिलहाल अपने घरों की साफ-सफाई करने से भी मना किया गया है.

जल्द ही सुरक्षा एडवाइजरी जारी की जाएगी
सोसायटी प्रबंधन ने कहा है कि जल्द ही एडवाइजरी जारी की जाएगी. इसमें लोगों से बालकनी में ज्वलनशील वस्तुएं, लैंप, अगरबत्ती या अन्य खतरनाक चीजें न रखने की अपील की जाएगी। अतिरिक्त निर्माण से बचना भी उचित होगा।

आग लगने के बाद का भावुक दृश्य
हादसे के बाद लोग अपने जले हुए फ्लैटों में जरूरी सामान तलाशते दिखे। कुछ जगहों पर बच्चों के जले हुए चमगादड़ मिले तो कुछ जगहों पर महत्वपूर्ण दस्तावेज़ और मेडिकल रिपोर्टें मिलीं. अपने घरों की हालत देखकर कई परिवारों की आंखों में आंसू आ गए. लोग बस इसी बात से संतुष्ट थे कि सभी की जान बच गयी.

पड़ोसियों ने इंसानियत का फर्ज निभाया
कठिन समय में समाज के लोग एक-दूसरे की मदद कर मिसाल कायम करते हैं। किसी ने अपना फ्लैट दिया, किसी ने सामान पैक करने में मदद की. कई लोगों ने अपने घरों के दरवाजे खोल दिये, ताकि प्रभावित परिवारों को राहत मिल सके.

आग लगने का कारण पेंट और थिनर बना
शुरुआती जांच में पता चला है कि जिस फ्लैट में आग लगी, वहां बड़ी मात्रा में पेंट, थिनर और वुड पॉलिश रखा हुआ था. ये सभी चीजें अत्यधिक ज्वलनशील हैं, जिसके कारण आग तेजी से फैल गई।

ज्योतिष केंद्र बनाने की तैयारी थी
जानकारी के मुताबिक, फ्लैट मालिक कमल पालीवाल यहां ज्योतिष का काम शुरू करने वाले थे। फ्लैट में लकड़ी का काम और हवन कुंड बना हुआ था. फिनिशिंग के दौरान मौजूद ज्वलनशील पदार्थों ने आग को और भड़का दिया।
