IPL 2026: Jason Holder sprinkles 'stardust' on Gujarat Titans campaign

jason holder He had to wait for his chance at Gujarat Titans, but when the chance came, the West Indies all-rounder clearly reminded why the franchise had invested Rs 7 crore on him in the auction. Holder, who was brought into the eleven in place of Glenn Phillips, produced a decisive all-round performance in Gujarat’s four-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bangalore on Thursday.The 34-year-old took 2/29, took three catches, including a controversial one, and then contributed with the bat in a 30-run partnership with Rahul Tewatia as GT bowled out RCB for 155 and completed the chase with 25 balls to spare. Obviously, he was adjudged player of the match.For a Titans team that traded Sherfane Rutherford to Mumbai Indians in the off-season and was looking for a reliable middle-order option who could also bowl, Holder’s performance was timely validation. Vikram Solanki, GT’s director of cricket, said, “When we were pursuing Jason in the auction, it was in mind that he would be able to fulfill both the roles with bat and ball, so he offers us exactly that.” “If you look at the last calendar year and probably a little bit longer than that, his numbers at five and six have been quite excellent.“Obviously, Holder has all the abilities you need. Physically, he is a strong guy, he has great reach and impact as far as the bat is concerned, so all the technical stuff is covered. He is now bringing an extra dimension, a sprinkling of stardust if you like, of being a really experienced campaigner. I think that is what is going on,” Solanki said.Holder’s influence was not limited to his wickets. His catch to dismiss Patidar ended a 44-run partnership and he later gave a good chance to send back Tim David and Krunal Pandya. With the bat, he helped the chase along with Tewatia.Solanki said Holder’s growing understanding of his game, built through years of international and franchise cricket, has made him a valuable presence in pressure situations. “He has proved over the years in international cricket and franchise cricket what a balanced player he is. He is constantly getting better,” Solanki said. “Any player who has played around the world for a long time, led teams, and been a part of different teams, starts to understand what needs to be done in any given situation. Jason is definitely doing that.Holder has played 96 T20 matches for the West Indies and has captained the national team in all formats. Solanki said that the young GT players are also benefiting from the experience. Solanki said, “You often get people who have a lot of experience who maybe can’t even articulate it. Jason will always be willing to have a conversation, whether it’s with the coaching group or with the young people around him, to impart a little bit of his experience.”“

NCLT operations affected due to shortage of staff, infrastructure, this should be resolved: Supreme Court india news

कर्मचारियों की कमी, बुनियादी ढांचे की वजह से एनसीएलटी परिचालन प्रभावित, इसका समाधान किया जाना चाहिए: सुप्रीम कोर्टA bench of Justices JB Pardiwala and KV Vishwanathan said the problems faced by tribunals “need to be addressed on a war footing, otherwise the very object and purpose of implementing the IBC will be defeated”. It said NCLTs play an important role in the economy, as they try to keep companies that are “going into trouble due to various factors and keep them afloat”, but the situation prevailing in these tribunals is serious and depressing.In its order, the court noted that most of the tribunal’s staff, including the post of Registrar, are appointed on a temporary basis and the entire staff of NCLT, Mumbai had once gone on strike as salaries were not paid on time.The Supreme Court said that “as per the report forwarded by the Registrar of NCLT, the Principal Bench, 363 applications (resolution proposals) are awaiting approval”.“As clarifications have been sought, the delay ranges from 48 days to 738 days. In some cases, the delay is up to four years. The reasons cited are mainly lack of adequate infrastructure and lack of infrastructure resulting in half-day sitting of the benches, especially due to exchange of combinations and pendency of large number of objections on the resolution plan filed by various stakeholders.”The statutory sanctioned strength for all NCLT benches is 63 members – including a Chairperson and 31 judicial members and the same number of technical members. At present, only 28 judicial members and 26 technical members are posted on all the benches.

IPL 2026 | 'I don't need to answer to critics': Riyan Parag's blunt statement after Rajasthan Royals defeat

New Delhi: Exiting the match after being fined 25% of his match fee and given one demerit point for violating Level 1 of the IPL code of conduct for using a vape inside the dressing room. Riyan Parag Made sure to leave the controversy behind when he came out to bat against Delhi Capitals. Rajasthan Royals The captain looked in great form and scored a brilliant half-century. It looked like he deserved a century but missed it, scoring a brilliant 90 off 50 balls with eight fours and five sixes, taking his team to 225/6 in 20 overs.However, despite the strong score, Delhi Capitals snapped their three-match losing streak with an impressive seven-wicket win.After the match, Parag made it clear that external criticism does not matter to him, rather his primary responsibility is to bring results for the team.“I don’t think I need to respond to any critic or anyone who talks about it. But at the end of the day, my job is to get two points. So if we lose the game my score and my innings don’t really matter,” Parag said after the match.A blistering 110-run opening stand between KL Rahul (75 off 40) and Pathum Nissanka (62 off 33) laid the right foundation for the record 226-run target, which Tristan Stubbs (18*) and Ashutosh Sharma (25*) calmly finished off with five balls to spare.Parag said, “I think it was a good score. I thought 200 was a par score here. It was going to be a bit slow, but I think we could have bowled better in the middle overs, not letting them go a bit too far. And then too many boundaries in the same over and that was repeated again and again. So I thought we missed it, but there is no harm in the decision we took.”Parag was earlier fined 25% of his match fee and given one demerit point after he was caught vaping inside the dressing room during his team’s match against Punjab Kings.He admitted the offense and accepted the penalty imposed by match referee Amit Sharma.Parag was found to have violated Article 2.21 of the IPL code of conduct, which deals with “conduct that brings the game into disrepute”. The incident occurred during the second innings when he was seen using a vape inside the dressing room.

12-year-old boy faces deportation from US after father refuses to take DNA test to prove citizenship: ‘Thousands of cases like this…’

12-year-old boy faces deportation from US after father refuses to take DNA test to prove citizenship: 'Thousands of cases like this...'

A 12-year-old boy born to a Nigerian mother and a US military serviceman is facing deportation to the US as authorities question his citizenship.The case unfolding in Alaska has drawn attention as US immigration officials are seeking DNA testing to confirm the boy’s link to his father, a naturalized US citizen who previously served in the military. The boy’s lawyer said his father has refused to take the test.The child lives in Anchorage and could be deported along with his mother. The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has asked for genetic proof of paternity.“The kid can’t prove he’s a citizen, and right now, the government is trying to deport him,” Margaret Stock, an attorney at Cascadia Cross Border Law Group in Anchorage, Alaska, told Newsweek.He said: “He’s not in custody yet. They haven’t come and caught him and put him in a detention center, but they have put him in deportation proceedings. So, it’s really important for him to prove his citizenship to stop them from deporting him.”According to the legal team, the boy was born in Türkiye to his Nigerian mother, while his father Bolanle Meshach Akinleye served in the US Army. Later the family went to America on visitor visa.The lawyer said authorities are continuing deportation proceedings despite having solid evidence, including photographs, videos of birthday celebrations and other personal records showing the father-son relationship.Additionally, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson said that the boy and his mother were in the country illegally and did not have proven citizenship claims.The spokesperson also suggested voluntary self-deportation options, saying, “Parents can take control of their departure with the CBP Home app and preserve the opportunity to return the right legal way. The United States is now offering illegal aliens $2,600 and a free flight for self-deportation. We encourage everyone here illegally to take advantage of this offer and secure the opportunity to return to the United States the right legal way to live the American dream. If not, you will be arrested and deported without a chance to return.”The case comes as the US Supreme Court is reviewing challenges to birthright citizenship and a 2025 executive order aimed at limiting it. If the court upholds the strict rules, there could be more such cases where people may be required to take a DNA test to prove citizenship.The lawyer said: “So, if Trump is successful in the US Supreme Court in overturning the 14th Amendment, we will see many more cases like this. In fact, we will see hundreds of thousands of cases like this.”A court hearing in the boy’s case is scheduled for January 2027, while his mother’s asylum application is pending

एडमिट कार्ड में एक छोटी सी गलती बनी बड़ी आफत… 12 छात्र परीक्षा से वंचित, यूनिवर्सिटी की लापरवाही ने छीना उनका भविष्य

मोरादाबाद समाचार: उत्तर प्रदेश के महात्मा ज्योतिबा फुले रोहिलखंड विश्वविद्यालय (एमजेपीआरयू) में गंभीर लापरवाही का मामला सामने आया है। यहां एडमिट कार्ड में गलती के कारण बीएससी अंतिम वर्ष के 12 से अधिक छात्र मुख्य परीक्षा में शामिल नहीं हो सके। इस घटना के बाद छात्रों में भारी आक्रोश फैल गया और उन्होंने विश्वविद्यालय प्रशासन के खिलाफ जमकर प्रदर्शन किया. यह मामला मुरादाबाद का है, जहां परीक्षा केंद्र और एडमिट कार्ड की जानकारी में गड़बड़ी ने छात्रों का भविष्य खतरे में डाल दिया है.

सुबह छात्र परीक्षा देने पहुंचे, लेकिन उन्हें सेंटर नहीं मिला
गुरुवार को सुबह आठ बजे की पाली में छात्र परीक्षा देने आये थे. उसके प्रवेश पत्र पर परीक्षा केंद्र दयानंद डिग्री कॉलेज अंकित था। लेकिन जब छात्र वहां पहुंचे तो उन्हें कॉलेज बंद मिला. इसके बाद छात्र हिंदू कॉलेज पहुंचे, जहां वास्तविक परीक्षा आयोजित की जा रही थी। लेकिन वहां भी उन्हें प्रवेश नहीं दिया गया. कॉलेज प्रशासन ने साफ कहा कि इन छात्रों के नाम विश्वविद्यालय की आधिकारिक सूची में नहीं हैं, इसलिए उन्हें परीक्षा में शामिल होने की अनुमति नहीं दी जा सकती.

नियमों के कारण परीक्षा से वंचित हुए छात्र
छात्रों ने कई बार कॉलेज प्रशासन से गुहार लगाई, लेकिन उड़नदस्ते और प्रबंधन ने नियमों का हवाला देकर उन्हें परीक्षा देने से रोक दिया। समय पर केंद्र पर पहुंचने के बावजूद छात्र परीक्षा नहीं दे सके. इस स्थिति से विद्यार्थियों को गहरा सदमा लगा और वे परीक्षा से वंचित रह गये.

कॉलेज में हंगामा, यूनिवर्सिटी पर सवाल
इस लापरवाही से नाराज छात्रों ने कॉलेज परिसर में नारेबाजी की और विश्वविद्यालय प्रशासन के खिलाफ विरोध दर्ज कराया. उनका कहना है कि यह पूरी गलती यूनिवर्सिटी की है, लेकिन इसकी सजा उन्हें दी जा रही है. छात्रों की मांग है कि इस मामले की जांच कर उन्हें न्याय दिया जाए और उनकी परीक्षा दोबारा कराई जाए.

कॉलेज प्रशासन का बयान और स्थिति
हिंदू कॉलेज के परीक्षा प्रभारी ने कहा कि उन्होंने विश्वविद्यालय से प्राप्त आधिकारिक सूची के आधार पर ही कार्रवाई की. जिन विद्यार्थियों के नाम सूची में नहीं थे उन्हें अनुमति देना संभव नहीं था। इस मामले की जानकारी विश्वविद्यालय प्रशासन को दे दी गई है.

छात्रों के भविष्य पर संकट
अधिकांश प्रभावित छात्र पुराने प्री-एनईपी बैच के हैं। इस लापरवाही के कारण अब उनका एक साल बर्बाद होने का खतरा मंडरा रहा है। छात्रों ने उच्च अधिकारियों से न्याय की गुहार लगाते हुए जल्द समाधान की मांग की है.

Ocean Phenomena: Mysterious marine phenomena that will stun you

Mysterious phenomena of the sea that will surprise you

The ocean is called unknown. It is so, but it is also a deception.Because what we have already discovered does not behave the way we expect it to.According to marine research conducted by organizations such as the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and NOAA, some ocean phenomena are not only unknown, but they actually defy previous scientific beliefs.

There are “ghost tracks” in the seabed, which move freely

Long, continuous tracks carved into the ocean floor with no apparent origin have been reported by deep sea researchers.These tracks remained a mystery for many years. At some point, time-lapse shots revealed that they were made by slow-moving animals like sea cucumbers, but it’s the size that surprises scientists. There are some tracks extending for kilometers, redefining the sediment landscape according to new patterns previously thought impossible without powerful currents.

Sound can be trapped in parts of the ocean like a tunnel

There is a layer in the ocean called the SOFAR channel in which sound acts strangely.In this area sound waves can be transmitted across sea basins with minimal loss. Signals thousands of kilometers away have been detected in this layer. This is why it is used by marine life as well as naval systems, yet scientists do not fully understand how marine life takes advantage of it so precisely.

There are “plumes” of methane that rise like explosions under water

Suddenly large amounts of methane gas starts leaking in some areas of the seabed.The eruption creates columns of plumes that rise through the water column like successive explosions. Oceanographic research indicates that these releases have the potential to alter ecosystems and even water chemistry in the area.Other researchers are working on the possibility that such plumes might be associated with long-term climate processes.

The seabed “breathes” hydrothermal vent

Hydrothermal vents are not the only fixed features.It has been found that some holes pulsate and emit shocks of mineral-rich fluid in cycles. These vents sustain entire ecosystems that cannot exist without sunlight, but use chemical energy.The notion that life could fully develop without sunlight was unimaginable.

Lighting acts unnaturally in some places

Some deep sea settings produce optical effects that are not easy to reproduce on land.Bioluminescent species are capable of producing coordinated bursts of light that appear nearly synchronous over wide areas. Scientists continue to research whether this is accidental or a form of communication.In some cases entire bodies of water appear to transmit light.

Submarine landslides can be larger than terrestrial landslides

The sea level is not stable.Submarine landslides (also called large-scale underwater landslides) are capable of carrying more material than any landslide on land. These events will be capable of changing entire portions of the ocean floor and are sometimes associated with tsunamis.Although they are huge, most of these activities remain invisible because they occur so far underwater.

Dead zones exist that are instantly reclaimed

Areas in the ocean with low oxygen are generally considered habitable.However, it turns out that there are ways in which some of these areas can temporarily regenerate as variations in oxygen levels cause marine life to reappear for short periods of time. These changes can occur rapidly and are not necessarily predictable.

The ocean is capable of creating waves that do not act like waves

Rogue waves are not necessarily big waves.They are very unpredictable and most often occur suddenly in completely calm water and can be more than twice as high as the surrounding waves. Their existence has been proven from satellite data but they are almost impossible to predict.

There are structures inside the water that look almost artificial

The patterns of some geological formations on the ocean floor are similar to man-made structures.Although they are natural and formed by volcanic or sedimentary processes, their symmetry and scale have given rise to scientific debate regarding their formation.Not all areas of the ocean have been observed at all.Despite advances in technologies, much of the deep ocean has never been directly explored.Remote sensing and partial mapping allow scientists to do the work, yet, much remains undiscovered. New discoveries are still being made in areas that have never been explored.It is not that the ocean hides things.It acts in a way that questions our ideas of normalcy.And the deeper we delve into it, the more it becomes clear that we’re discovering not only new places, but entirely new ways of nature working.

कोटा से देहरादून आ रही नंदा देवी एक्सप्रेस में देवबंद से आगे जंगल में करीब 10 हथियारबंद बदमाशों ने लूटपाट की कोशिश की. हालाँकि, वह न तो ट्रेन रोक सका और न ही अंदर जा सका। मुरादाबाद मंडल ने आरपीएफ को जांच के निर्देश दिए हैं। कोच अटेंडेंट की मदद से बदमाशों के स्केच बनवाए गए हैं।

जानकारी के मुताबिक घटना बुधवार सुबह करीब तीन बजे की है. नंदा देवी एक्सप्रेस कोटा से देहरादून आ रही थी. ट्रेन के विभिन्न श्रेणी के डिब्बों में हजारों यात्री यात्रा कर रहे थे. जब ट्रेन देवबंद से रवाना हुई तो स्टेशन मास्टर ने लोको पायलट को सूचना दी कि ट्रेन के दोनों डिब्बों के बीच में कुछ संदिग्ध लोग चढ़ गए हैं. इसकी जानकारी तुरंत सभी कोच अटेंडेंट को दी गई। कुछ अटेंडेंट ने लोको पायलट और आरपीएफ अधिकारियों को बताया कि करीब 10 हथियारबंद लोग कोच के बफर में चढ़ गये हैं.

वे ट्रेन को रोकने की कोशिश कर रहे थे लेकिन नए कोच में बफर में वैक्यूम रिलीज करने का विकल्प नहीं है। इसलिए बदमाश ट्रेन नहीं रोक सके। ट्रेन के सभी दरवाजे बंद होने के कारण वह अंदर भी नहीं जा सका. जब उसे पता चला कि कर्मचारियों को उसकी भनक लग गई है तो वह ट्रेन से कूद गया।

Brian Harpole Sues Candace Owens Over Charlie Kirk Claims As Lawsuit Exposes Alleged False Allegations And Records

Brian Harpole Sues Candace Owens Over Charlie Kirk Claims As Lawsuit Exposes Alleged False Allegations And Records

Now a serious legal battle has started and it is bringing big names into the headlines. Brian Harpole, who once handled Charlie Kirk’s security, has filed a defamation lawsuit against Candace Owens. The case is about claims made by Owens after the murder of Kirk. According to the complaint, he accused Harpole of being linked to the incident through his podcast and social media posts.The lawsuit was shared publicly on X by Harpole’s attorney Matt Sarelson. It clearly states that Harpole and his company had no role in the murder. It also states that he had no prior knowledge and did not commit any kind of negligence. Nevertheless, Owens continued to speak out about a possible conspiracy, which is now the center of this legal dispute.

Brian Harpole says Candace Owens spread false claims about Charlie Kirk case, but records show otherwise

The complaint explains how things started. Shortly after Charlie Kirk’s death, Owens began sharing theories online. He suggested that people close to him may have betrayed him. He also talked about a possible government cover-up. Over time, those claims became more direct. Harpole says Owens started pointing at him.On the December 9, 2025 podcast episode, Owens told his audience, “Well, what I’m going to tell you guys today is going to positively blow your minds.” She said she had received a “credible” tip from someone she later identified as Mitch Snow. This person claimed to have seen Harpole at a meeting with military officials the day before the assassination.But the lawsuit strongly refutes this. It states that Harpole was in Dallas, Texas at the time. His travel records support this. It also states that he never visited Fort Huachuca. Despite this, Owens continued repeating the claim. He said the tip was “very credible”, but did not give a reason.The situation became more tense when Owens went straight to Harpole. He asked for a personal conversation with him. When he didn’t respond, she talked about his silence on her podcast. He suggested that it looked suspicious. The lawsuit says this made things worse and further damaged his reputation.One key detail stands out. Owens later posted on X that he had already seen Harpole’s flight records. This is important because it shows that she may have known that he was not at that meeting. Yet she continued to speak about the claim. Harpole’s legal team says this shows “reckless disregard for the truth”, a core part of defamation law.Now, the case involves six legal matters and damages worth lakhs are sought. A jury trial has been requested. Owens tried to walk back some of the claims on his show and suggested that his source may have been mistaken. For now, the court will have to determine what exactly happened behind these claims.
