Brief Scores: Chennai Super Kings (212/2 in 20 overs) beat Delhi Capitals (189-all out in 20 overs) by 23 runs at Chepauk. highlighted | Achievement:

When the wait was finally over, there was celebration in Chepauk and across Chennai. After six consecutive defeats at home, Chennai Super Kings had something to be happy about, and they did it the hard way, with a complete performance.

Sanju Samson was standing at the center of it. He looked poor at finding timing and flow in the early part of the season, but everything clicked into place on Saturday night. Opening the innings, he played with clarity and intent, remaining unbeaten on 115 off 56 balls, taking CSK to 212 for 2. This was his first century for the franchisehis fourth in IPLAnd it registered a 23-run win over Delhi Capitals, which was CSK’s first win of IPL 2026.

Samson sets the tone

Samson immediately set the tone. He took command in the powerplay and scored 45 of CSK’s 61 runs in the first six overs. Mukesh Kumar’s early boundaries inspired him to move forward, but more than the runs, it was his way of moving that was most special. His footwork was decisive, his head was steady and the bat was moving freely. There was a sense of assurance that was missing in the first season.

The Chepauk crowd responded in the same manner. When he completed his half-century in just 26 balls, more than 30,000 fans started applauding him. When he completed his century in 52 balls, the noise turned into slogans in his name. One of the standout shots was a clean strike at extra cover off Kuldeep Yadav, a shot that won him confidence on the night.

A moment of luck came when he was dropped by Pathum Nissanka off Axar Patel on 55, but Samson made sure Delhi had to pay for it. He didn’t slow down, lost form and took the innings deep, making it one of CSK’s most complete batting performances this season.

Ayush Mhatre continued to impress at the other end. The young batsman played with maturity beyond his years and scored 59 runs on 36 balls. He and Samson put on a 113-run partnership for the second wicket in a little over 11 overs, a partnership that laid the foundation for a big score. Mhatre mixed caution with aggression, choosing his moments and finding boundaries with ease in the first. Shivam Dubey is being retired to allow To play the last role.

Dubey added to the excitement with a quick cameo at the end of the innings, taking CSK past 200. Ruturaj Gaikwad, though unable to accelerate, still played a part in the opening stand of 62, largely inspired by Samson’s aggressive approach. CSK never lost momentum throughout the innings, which had cost them in the previous matches.

Capitals missed another goal

If 212 seemed strong, Delhi Capitals made it achievable with a blistering start. KL Rahul and Pathum Nissanka came out with intent and reached 61 runs in just five overs. For a short while, CSK were under pressure, and memories of recent games came back fresh.

But change came quickly. Nissanka, who was already out, could not take advantage of this and was caught by Anshul Kamboj in the circle. Leading at 61 for two in 5.2 overs, Delhi still had a platform to go, but CSK tightened their grip from there.

The bowlers made clever adjustments. Jamie Overton, Khaleel Ahmed and Kamboj began to attack the red clay surface hard, providing strong bounce and forcing the batsmen to make space. The plan was clear and it worked. Sameer Rizvi and Axar Patel fell trying to hit hard shots on balls that pitched awkwardly, while Sarfaraz Khan produced a sharp full-length diving catch at point to remove Axar and take the momentum further.

Delhi still had the experience of David Miller and the form of Tristan Stubbs, but Overton’s magic broke down their resistance. His hard-length delivery which hit the top of Miller’s stumps was a crucial moment, and he returned later to remove the stumps as well. Overton took 4 for 18, his best performance in the IPL and his standout bowling performance of the season so far.

Debutant Gurjapaneet Singh followed the same approach and bowled well, while Khaleel and Kamboj kept the pressure on from the other end. CSK were quick in the field, cutting singles and supporting their bowlers throughout. Till the end of the powerplay, they remained in control and did not allow Delhi to rebuild.

Tristan Stubbs fought back with 60 off 38 balls to try and keep the target alive, but the frustration was palpable when it ended. After being dismissed, Stubbs waved his helmet as he entered the dressing room, a clear indication of how important the moment was and how disappointed he was at not being able to complete the job.

Nitish Rana, coach Hemang Badani and Karun Nair were seen discussing with the fourth umpire, clearly unhappy with how things unfolded in the closing stages. On air, Simon Doull reported that Stubbs had been refused a change of gloves at the end of the previous over.

This is where the chase started. The asking rate kept rising and wickets kept falling at the other end, leaving a lot to be desired. What once looked like a manageable target soon turned into a melee as Delhi lost their way in the middle overs and were bowled out for 189, suffering their second consecutive defeat.

For CSK, it was as complete a performance as they could have expected. The batting had authority, the bowling had purpose and the fielding matched intent. More importantly, it brought confidence back into the group after a difficult start to the season.

And fittingly, that night was Samson’s. After three quiet visits and a lot of questions, he responded in the best way he could, by running. His unbeaten 115 not only took the innings forward but also improved the atmosphere of the team and the stands.

New Delhi: High-end eating establishments in Khan Market, which have been suffering from inadequate security exits for a long time, can finally heave a sigh of relief. Delhi High Court On Friday they were allowed to operate without fire clearance certificate if their occupancy capacity does not exceed 50 guests.However, the decision has raised new concerns among visitors over enforcement and compliance with building regulations. The ambiguity has deepened as the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) says the NOC falls under the purview of the fire department, while department officials claim that establishments with less than 50 people are not their responsibility.A visit to the market on Saturday revealed that most eateries, including those that have approached the court, have kept the seating capacity below the prescribed limit. Three restaurants – Sly Granny (49 seats across two floors), Perch (48 seats) and Khan Chacha (35 seats) – reported operating within the limits. Their managers claimed that fire safety equipment such as fire extinguishers, hoses, alarms and fire blankets were in place and entries were being regulated. However, at another outlet, employees said they were unaware of the court order.Despite claims of compliance, times of India Inadequate ventilation was observed at many outlets, especially on rooftops where there was a lack of separate exits and narrow staircases were being used for both entry and exit. While the building code prescribes a minimum stair width of 1.5 meters for such establishments, the restaurant owners argued that this norm applies exclusively to “assembly buildings” that allow 50 or more guests. He also claimed that where natural ventilation was inadequate, mechanical ventilation systems were installed.“The court has anyway considered the building regulations before giving the judgement. If anyone has any issues, they can definitely report the matter. The safety of the guests is also our concern,” said Anshu Tandon, president of Khan Market Welfare Association, which claimed to have assisted the restaurant owners in filing the petition.Visitors flagged additional issues such as open AC units, congested routes and tightly packed outlets. “The path to the second-floor café went through the kitchen of another outlet and was very narrow, making it crowded even with four to five people,” said Ramesh Sharma, a 27-year-old accountant.Another visitor, 25-year-old content marketing executive Pooja Mahabadi, said close clustering of outlets increased the risk. “Cafes are packed together in a small space. If something goes wrong at one outlet, the fire can rapidly spread to nearby establishments. NDMC should investigate these issues.”In February 2025, two restaurants caught fire. Although no casualties were reported, there were a lot of flammable materials on the rooftops and everything was reduced to ashes. Eyewitnesses had claimed that the fire was caused by a short circuit. In March 2023, a chimney and false ceiling fire broke out on the first and second floors of the OTB restaurant. There is no information about any casualty.Authorities had made several efforts in the past to resolve the entry-exit issue, including surveys and consultations, but no consensus solution emerged. Ground floor shopkeepers opposed widening the internal stairs passing between their shops, citing loss of retail space.Sanjeev Mehra of Khan Market Traders Association said, “The external spiral staircase would have affected the aesthetics of the market, created encroachment issues and restricted access to the shop. However, we also wanted a solution to the problem, and that is why we agreed on the proposed stairs, lift cabin or ramp outside the perimeter of the market, which would have served the purpose.”The proposal to build a cantilever access and walkway on the second floor with access from footpath lift cabin or stair cabin requires approval from flat owners. According to Tandon, the NDMC had proposed to acquire the upper floor space to create a common walkway, but the plan was not feasible as many units were still being used for residential purposes.Tandon said restaurant owners approached the court in 2020-21 when the NDMC stopped renewing their licenses and rejected the applications. “They issued a letter stating that owners of restaurants having an area of ​​more than 90 square meters must have made additional seating arrangements and thus will be eligible to apply for fire NOC. Since NDMC license was mandatory for obtaining other approvals, we were unable to obtain excise license also.“Established in 1951, the U-shaped market is famous for high-end branded showrooms, renowned bookshops, artisan shops and premium restaurants, making it a favorite for expatriates and locals alike. Traders said the conversion of upper floor residential flats into commercial establishments began around 2004. The market currently has 156 ground floor shops and about 74 upper floor units, of which only five-six are used for residential purposes.

Immigration lawyers say scrutiny of marriage-based green card applications in the US has been tightened in recent months, with applicants facing tougher scrutiny during interviews and increased enforcement action even at the interview stage. Marriage is one of the most common routes to permanent residence, but lawyers warn that the process is now being scrutinized more closely than before.According to immigration attorney Douglas Lightman of Lightman Law Firm LLC in New York, “Obtaining a green card through marriage is one of the most common routes to lawful permanent residence in the United States. It is also one of the fastest routes to permanent residence, with some applicants receiving approval in just 9 to 15 months.”However, he and other lawyers note that this is one of the riskiest routes, as applicants must clearly prove that the marriage is genuine and not undertaken for immigration benefits.A marriage-based green card allows the foreign spouse of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident to live and work anywhere in the country. The type of green card issued depends on how long the couple has been married at the time of approval.Attorney Lightman explains that there are two main categories. A 10-year green card is issued to spouses who have been married for more than two years when their application is approved. It is also known as IR-1 visa. A 2-year conditional green card is issued when there are less than two years left before the marriage can be approved. This is known as a CR-1 visa and the couple must later file Form I-751 to have the conditions removed.US citizens can often file Form I-130 and Form I-485 together for faster processing, but spouses of green card holders usually have to wait longer due to visa limits and quotas.Eligibility rules will remain strict. Immigration attorney Matthew Curtis explains, “The marriage must be legally valid with a government-issued marriage certificate. USCIS recently updated its policy to clarify that only marriages that are legally recognized and registered with civil authorities are eligible. Both spouses must be legally free to marry, all previous marriages must have been properly ended through divorce, annulment, or death.“In addition to the paperwork, applicants must also meet a standard known as the bona fide marriage standard, which is often the most closely scrutinized part of the case. “USCIS examines whether you and your spouse share a life together through financial entanglement, cohabitation, and emotional connection. The burden of proof is entirely on you,” says Curtis.Couples are expected to present strong supporting evidence. “Joint financial accounts demonstrate financial interdependence,” says Lightman. Housing documents proving that you live together. Photos spanning the period of your relationship document the time you spent together. Affidavits from friends and family provide third-party verification. Travel records, communication records and receipts from joint purchases all strengthen your case.“At the same time, lawyers warn that some factors may raise alarm bells. “Things like significant age difference, limited shared language, immediate marriage after very short courtship, living at different addresses, minimal joint financial documentation, and previous marriages to U.S. citizens warrant increased scrutiny,” says Curtis.Financial needs also remain central. Lightman explains that sponsors must prove they can support their spouse at 125% of the federal poverty guidelines, which requires an income of about $25,550 for a two-person family. If this is not met, applicants may rely on a joint sponsor, joint household income, or qualifying assets.

New Delhi: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin expressed optimism over the victory of the DMK-led alliance in the state assembly elections. He claimed that they would be able to get more than 200 seats in the elections, while he also attacked the BJP for trying to use the women’s quota as a “weapon” against the opposition. He also targeted AIADMK chief Edappadi K Palaniswami, the Enforcement Directorate and the Centre.Stalin said the secular progressive alliance, which includes Congress, Left parties and VCK, will sweep the 234-member assembly and form the Dravidian Model 2.0 government. He claimed that five years of rule and welfare measures had strengthened public support for the DMK. “People have shown a lot of love and trust in my party and with their support, SPA will win more than 200 seats and form the Dravidian Model 2.0 government,” he said.

women quota controversy

The Chief Minister said the Central government was not serious about implementing reservation for women and accused the BJP-led Center of trying to use it to counter the opposition ahead of the delimitation process. “The central government is not worried about implementing reservation for women. If their concerns were genuine, they could have done it immediately. Instead of doing so, the BJP-led Center is thinking of using it as a weapon to deal with the opposition and conduct a delimitation exercise based on population,” he said.He said that women’s reservation should be implemented immediately without linking it to delimitation. Stalin also said that Tamil Nadu had first raised its voice on the delimitation issue after realizing that the state could be affected, and argued that states with successful population-control measures should not be penalized.

EPS attack

Stalin rejected Palaniswami’s allegation that his family was a “power centre”, calling it imaginary and aimed at diverting attention from the DMK government’s record. She also hit back at the AIADMK chief over his criticism on women’s safety and law and order, saying the Pollachi sexual harassment case was a reminder of the failures of the previous regime.He alleged that the AIADMK lacks ideology or principles and said that the Delhi BJP serves as its headquarters. On delimitations, he accused Palaniswami of being “dumb” and said the AIADMK leader was effectively supporting the BJP’s position.

ED and wellness claims

Stalin described the ED’s actions in the TASMAC and sand-mining cases as a “centre-staged, ED-produced drama” and accused the agency of becoming a “slave”. He said the alleged TASMAC scam and illegal sand mining cases were politically scripted.He also defended his government’s welfare schemes, saying the monthly entitlement of Rs 1,000 to women and the breakfast scheme for school children were among the initiatives closest to his heart. He said the Mahila Adhikar Yojana would be increased to Rs 2,000 in the next term, while the breakfast program would be extended to Class 8.This comes amid the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections scheduled for April 23, with counting scheduled for May 4. Stalin said the DMK-led alliance remains strong since 2019 and will also do well in Puducherry, which went to polls on April 9.

In a delightful viral video, a grandmother shares her curious ‘should I have cake now?’ Interrupted the celebration of a family milestone with. The spontaneous exchanges brilliantly showcased the charm of unplanned family interactions, capturing the pure joy brought by grandparents and the cozy bond experienced by children through honest moments of love and connection.

In a world where parenting seems rushed and structured, sometimes the most beautiful lessons come from the simplest, unplanned moments. Recently, one such moment was captured in a viral reel. A family celebrating a milestone had 200,000 followers. There was cake, laughter, and a camera rolling. But what really made headlines was not the celebration, but a grandmother’s innocent impatience.While mom was talking to the audience, thanking them warmly, in the background grandma had just one concern in mind, “Should I eat the cake now?”That one line made a simple video unforgettable. And for the parents watching, it quietly reminded them of something deep about family, childhood, and happiness.

A celebration that has been witnessed across three generations

The video felt like a slice of real life. A mother is carefully filming, trying to say the right words. A grandmother was not interested in formalities and was focused only on the cake. And somewhere in between, a family holds it all together.That’s what makes moments like this powerful. Children watching this cannot see perfection. They look for honesty. They see how different generations express happiness in their own ways.This becomes a subtle lesson for parents. There is no need to embellish every moment. Sometimes, it’s the raw, unfiltered reactions that kids remember the most.

Why do grandparents often feel like kids again?

There is something beautifully cyclical about life. The same curiosity, enthusiasm, and impatience seen in children are often seen in grandparents.Grandma’s repeated insistence on eating cake was exactly like a child waiting at a birthday party. For children, this is incredibly important. This helps them understand that aging does not mean losing happiness. It simply means expressing it in a different way.And for parents, it’s a reminder to let children witness these bonds. These conversations create an emotional memory far stronger than any lesson taught in words.

magical family moments

Most parenting advice focuses on planning activities, routines, learning goals. But this video highlights something else: the power of unplanned joy.Children brought up in such an environment learn something valuable. They learn that life isn’t always about doing things “right.” It’s also about laughing when things go off the rails.Parents often ask what really makes a happy childhood? The answer is simple. This is not perfection. This is presence.

What do children learn by watching this

This small moment teaches a big lesson:

When children grow up seeing grandparents behaving independently, they also feel safe in expressing themselves. They learn that emotions, whether excitement, impatience, or happiness, are all valid.That emotional security becomes the foundation of confident, expressive adults.

Why is the Internet so deeply connected?

The comments under the video say it all, “Cuteness overloaded,” “Two cuties in one frame,” “Grandma I am!”People didn’t just watch the video. They were related to it. Many people saw their grandmothers at that moment. Others remembered similar scenes from their childhood.At a time when material often feels staged, it felt real. And the real thing always wins.For parents, this is a quiet reassurance. Children don’t need grand gestures to feel loved. They need moments they can laugh about years later.It’s easy to document life perfectly, capture the right angle, say the right words, post the right clip.But sometimes, the best part of the memory is the interruption. laughter. Unpredictability.Grandma asked, “Should I eat the cake now?” There was no interference. This was that moment.And this is what children carry with them. No speech. Not a milestone. But the feeling.
