Umpire's No-Ball Blunder Hands Bumrah 100th T20I Wicket? Internet Divided

Jasprit Bumrah on Tuesday became the first Indian player to take at least 100 wickets each in all the three formats. He is the fifth player overall to achieve the feat. The star fast bowler achieved the milestone on the second ball of the 11th over in the India vs South Africa 1st T20I in Cuttack. South Africa's Dewald Brevis was his 110th victim as he was caught by Suryakumar Yadav . Bumrah went short and around off, and Brevis' wild shot got a top edge, with Yadav taking a clean catch at cover. However, there were some question marks over the delivery's legality. The umpires checked for a front-foot no-ball, but the third umpire ruled it a 'fair delivery' as it was deemed that some part of Bumrah's shoe was behind the crease. The internet was not convinced, as several social media users claimed it was a no-ball. Commentator Murali Kartik said the camera angle was not conclusive enough to prove it was a no-ball and that the benefit of doubt should be given ...

How The Smriti Mandhana And Palash Muchhal Wedding Saga Played Out

Palash Muchhal has broken his silence on his delayed wedding with cricketer Smriti Mandhana. In a statement shared on his Instagram Stories, the composer confirmed that the wedding has been called off. 

The two were set to marry on November 23, but plans were halted after Smriti Mandhana's father, Srinivas Mandhana, suffered a medical emergency. Around the same time, Palash was hospitalised with viral symptoms and severe acidity, forcing the couple to indefinitely delay the celebration.

As fans react to the announcement, let us take a quick trip down memory lane and revisit their relationship journey:

Secret Dating

Smriti and Palash reportedly began dating in 2019, connecting across their different careers through shared passion, creativity, and dedication to their work. As time went by, their friendship bloomed into a romantic relationship. Despite keeping a relatively low public profile for several years, they would occasionally share glimpses of each other on social media.

Dating Confirmation

The couple's relationship gained official confirmation in July 2024 when they celebrated their anniversary with a heartfelt post on Instagram. In the picture, they were seen cutting a cake and posing together. 

The Proposal

Days after the Indian Women's Cricket Team's 2025 World Cup win, Palash proposed to Smriti at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. The composer also did a tattoo reveal that showed Smriti's initials and jersey number imprinted on his hand. 

Smriti also shared a video - which is no longer visible on her Instagram page - where she was seen proudly displaying her engagement ring. She was surrounded by her teammates as they danced to the Samjho Ho Hi Gaya song from Lage Raho Munna Bhai.

Wedding Functions

The wedding celebrations for Smriti and Palash began on November 21 with the sangeet and haldi ceremonies, which were held at a resort in Sangli, Maharashtra. The couple was scheduled to get married in Smriti's hometown, surrounded by their closest friends and family. The wedding was postponed after Smriti's father's health scare. 

Smriti Mandhana And Palash Muchhal Call Off Their Wedding

Family members from both Smriti and Palash's sides initially reassured the public that the wedding was merely postponed and would happen soon. The speculation surrounding the couple's relationship grew when wedding-related posts were removed from Smriti's social media accounts.

However, Palash Muchhal shared a long note on his Instagram stories., confirming that he is no longer getting married to Smriti Mandhana.

He wrote, "I have decided to move on in my life and step back from my personal relationship. It's been very difficult for me to see people react so easily on baseless rumours about something which has been most sacred to me. It's the most difficult phase of my life, and I will deal with it gracefully, holding on to my beliefs. I truly hope we, as a society, learn to pause before judging someone based on unverified gossip, whose sources are never identified. Our words can wound in ways we may never understand."

He added, "While we think about these things, many people in the world are facing drastic consequences. My team will be taking strict legal action against those spreading false and defamatory content. Thank you to everyone who has stood by me with kindness in this tough time."

Why Trump's Claims About Americans Splitting The Atom Angers New Zealanders

Imagine a newly-elected president of a country claiming the legacy of someone as foundational as Thomas Edison. That's the kind of appropriation New Zealanders are witnessing. The recent inaugural address of President Donald Trump has sparked a heated debate over the origins of a groundbreaking scientific achievement: splitting the atom. Trump's claim that American experts were responsible for this feat has been met with swift correction from New Zealanders, who proudly assert that their native son, Sir Ernest Rutherford, was the true pioneer behind this discovery. Rutherford's achievement in 1917 at Victoria University of Manchester in England marked a pivotal moment in the history of nuclear physics. His work not only earned him a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1908 but also led to the discovery of radioactive half-life and the understanding that radioactivity involves the transmutation of one chemical element to another. Nick Smith, the mayor of Nelson, near Rutherford...
