Batting coach Sitanshu Kotak, while addressing batting order changes, said that the wicketkeeper-batter was dealing with a groin injury. Ishan's absence in the second T20I may open the door for teenage batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to get a place in the playing 11. There was a lot of speculation I have also seen; just because Ishan had a strain in his groin, the batting order was changed, Kotak told reporters. If Ishan doesnt play, unless he recovers completely, which the medical team will advise, Vaibhav (Sooryavanshi) could definitely step in for him. He is one of the strongest contenders, he added.

SIR protests: Evolution of SKM into nationwide political pressure group
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 23 (IANS) During the 2020-2021 protests against the three agricultural laws, an umbrella platform was formed to coordinate various organisations and unions involved in the demonstrations, which now continues its role but has extended from a focused farmers campaign into a broader political mobilisation directed against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government. During the demonstrations, the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) emerged as one of the most influential mass movements in contemporary India, leading the year-long protests against the Union governments three farm laws. Its greatest achievement came in November 2021 when the Centre finally announced the repeal of the laws, marking a rare instance of a major piece of legislation being withdrawn after sustained public agitation. Since then, the platform has witnessed several fissures and erosions, yet remains a powerful national platform with organisational reach across several states. The SKM has made several major demands, including the enactment of a law guaranteeing Minimum Support Price (MSP) for farmers produce in accordance with the M.S. Swaminathan Committees formula. It seeks the implementation of the C2+50 per cent formula, claiming a recommendation made by the National Commission on Farmers, chaired by agricultural scientist M.S. Swaminathan, for fixing MSP. Under this formula, they want MSP set at 50 per cent above the comprehensive cost of cultivation (C2). The C2 cost is the broadest measure of production cost and includes all paid-out expenses on seeds, fertilisers, pesticides, hired labour and irrigation (A2), the imputed value of family labour (FL), as well as the rental value of owned land and interest on owned capital. Farmer organisations such as the SKM argue that only C2+50 per cent provides a fair and remunerative return to cultivators, while the government generally calculates MSP using the lower A2+FL cost benchmark. This said difference lies at the heart of the ongoing debate over MSP and remains one of the principal demands of farmer unions. The repeal of the farm laws in 2021 gave the coalition tremendous political and moral capital. Now, the platform further seeks comprehensive farm loan waiver, withdrawal of the four Labour Codes and the Electricity Privatisation Bill, restoration and expansion of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), among other demands. It also continues to mobilise opposition to free trade agreements, claiming they affect income from agriculture. Many of these demands may be seen as linked to farmers welfare. Critics argue that while these demands remain unresolved, SKMs energies are increasingly devoted to political campaigns that move beyond agriculture. Evidence for this perception can be found in the organisations own recent resolutions and protest programmes. Incidentally, the SKM earlier decided to join Fridays demonstrations with larger stirs planned later, accusing authorities of undermining democratic rights, and extended support to student and youth protesters. The organisation also sought broader electoral reforms and amendments to the law governing the appointment of election commissioners. Thus, an organisation born out of farm sector anxieties is now devoting significant organisational resources to issues traditionally associated with civil rights groups and Opposition politics. The trend is not new. In recent years, SKM has increasingly framed its struggles within a larger ideological contest against what it calls corporate-communal policies. In a convention earlier this year, it explicitly called for rallying people against the BJP-RSS-led ruling framework and linked farmers concerns with labour rights, trade agreements, privatisation, and wider economic policies. The coalition also participated in nationwide Jail Bharo actions alongside trade unions, targeting government economic and labour policies. The mobilisation brought together farmers, workers, students and other groups under a broader anti-government agenda that extended well beyond agriculture. Its supporters emphasise that such expansion is natural because farming issues are connected to wider questions of democracy, labour rights and economic policy. They maintain that farmers cannot isolate themselves from decisions affecting trade, elections, federalism and public institutions. Critics, however, contend that this approach risks diluting the movement's original focus, while core agricultural demands remain unfulfilled. From their perspective, every mobilisation dedicated to electoral controversies or broader political causes is energy diverted from the pressing economic problems confronting farmers. What began as a united platform opposing three farm laws and achieved a landmark victory has today elevated into a national political force. The question now confronting the movement is whether it can remain rooted in farmers concerns while increasingly participating in broader political battles where ongoing protests are over electoral issues, rather than purely agrarian concerns.

Revathy wins Best Actor (International Short) for Sayani Guptas directorial Aasmani at IFFSA
Sayani Gupta's directorial debut Aasmani has added another honour to its list, with veteran actress Revathy winning Best Actor (International Short) for her performance in the film at the International Film Festival of South Asia (IFFSA) in Toronto. Revathy plays Asha, a grandmother whose bond with her granddaughter and their vintage powder blue Fiat sits at the emotional centre of the film. This win is doubly special for team Aasmani as it lands at the same festival where Sayani Gupta was Guest of Honour and received the South Asian Screen Excellence Award. For Sayani, who wrote and directed the film, the recognition for her lead actress is a quiet validation of the choices she made behind the camera. Casting a performer of Revathy's stature in her very first outing as a director was a bold call, and the Toronto win suggests it paid off in a performance that international audiences and juries have responded to. It also rounds out a picture of a film being celebrated across categories, from Best Director and Best Child Actor to Best Short Film and now a Best Actor honour in Toronto.

US Senators press Meta over No Kings lackout
Digital Desk | Washington, Oct 23 (IANS) Five Democratic US senators have asked Meta chief executive Mark Zuckerberg to disclose whether the company communicated with the Trump administration about No Kings protests, following the temporary shutdown of the coalitions Instagram account during nationwide demonstrations. The senators sought answers by October 29 about the removal, the delay in restoring administrators access and safeguards against similar disruptions before election day. The letter, released on Thursday, was signed by Chris Van Hollen, Ron Wyden, Jeff Merkley, Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy. The account disruption occurred on October 17. Was the decision to remove the No Kings Coalition account made by a human or by an automated process? they asked. The lawmakers also requested records of any discussions with the administration about No Kings or other pro-democracy protests. Their letter raises questions about political influence but does not establish that the administration directed the shutdown. They challenged Metas changing explanations and asked how it would protect accounts distributing election and civic information. Meta has described the suspension as an automated enforcement error and apologised. Its communications executive Andy Stone initially attributed the action to unusually frequent posting, sharing or commenting. In a subsequent explanation, Stone said engineers had traced the trigger primarily to activity involving the reading of profiles, posts and hashtags. According to his statement, reproduced in an accessible archive of his account, a Claude tool generated bursts of requests that resembled automated bot traffic. Stone said an automated review restored the account about an hour later, but resolving administrators access took additional time. The coalitions own account of the incident distinguishes between the restoration of its publicly visible page and its organisers ability to use it. It said the account disappeared around 1:30 p.m. Eastern time during its national early-voting mobilisation. Although the page subsequently became visible, administrators remained unable to log in and publish updates for hours. On October 19, the coalition sent Zuckerberg a separate open letter seeking public answers. Its published updates show that the dispute over the shutdown preceded Thursdays congressional intervention. Metas Oversight Board also criticised the handling of the account. In an October 20 statement, its co-chairs said the companys safeguards should have caught the enforcement error and questioned why the problem had not been resolved more quickly. They urged Meta to make its election-related enforcement more transparent and consistent. The board said both excessive removal of political speech and inadequate enforcement could damage electoral integrity. It also called for automated systems to account for language, nuance and political context. The No Kings Coalition describes its events as nonpartisan efforts to increase voter participation. Its October 17 mobilisation focused on early voting, and its published organising principles call for lawful, nonviolent action and de-escalation of confrontations.

iPhone Duo Launch Begins as First Orders Reach Customers
It's already Friday, October 23 in Australia and New Zealand, which means customers who pre-ordered an iPhone Duo are beginning to receive their devices. We are seeing first impressions and early photos from actual customers on the MacRumors forums, Instagram, Reddit, and other social networks. If your iPhone Duo has been delivered, let us know what you think of it in the comments below. MacRumors reader Boardiesboi is always one of the first to get a new iPhone and share images. Priced starting at $1,999, the iPhone Duo is Apple's first foldable device, featuring a 5.4-inch outer display and a 7.6-inch inner display. Apple says retail stores in select countries will have a limited number of iPhone Duos for walk-in purchases on launch day, and it expects stock to sell out fast due to extraordinary demand. There is no Apple Store in New Zealand, so store stock in Australia will give us an idea of what in-store availability might look like worldwide. Apple Stores in the United States, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Italy (select stores), Mexico, Macao (launch day only), Germany, the Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Trkiye, and the UK will have some iPhone Duos for walk-in customers. The iPhone Duo will not be available for walk-in purchase in France, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and the United Arab Emirates, so customers in those locations will need a reservation for Apple Store pickup. Apple's website advises customers to check back on Saturday, October 24 for pickup reservations. Shipping estimates for online orders slipped to January 25 shortly after pre-orders started and have stayed there since. Purchasing on launch day or getting lucky with a pickup reservation at a later date is the best chance of getting an iPhone Duo this year. It's possible some carriers and big-box stores could also have stock available on launch day. After Australia and New Zealand, sales and deliveries of the iPhone Duo will begin in Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and finally, North America. Some Apple Stores worldwide are opening early at 8:00 a.m. local time.

Apple to iPhone Duo buyers: We promise your favorite apps will look great (eventually)
Macworld The early reviews of the iPhone Duo posted on Wednesday, and one common complaint is how some third-party apps look on the device. The iPhone Duo has new dimensions , and that often results in a suboptimal user experience. One reviewer went so far as to call them horrible. In these situations, apps are not yet optimized for the iPhone Duo. Apps that are made for iPhone Duo can provide quite rewarding experiences, as Apple points out in an article it released to the media on Thursday. From watching popular shows and content on the expansive inner display to multitasking across windows or playing console-quality games, developers around the world are reimagining what their apps can do, said Apple VP Susan Prescott in the press release. Netflix on the iPhone Duo. Apple Video apps are taking advantage of the bigger folding display by providing modes that work when the Duo is propped open in an L shape; the top display shows the video while the bottom can display video controls and other items, as shown on the Netflix app. The Paramount+ app does a similar thing, but the bottom display can show info on the show being watched. Sports fans can have a great time watching the game in apps made for iPhone Duo. The screen can be split so that live game coverage is streamed on one half, while the other provides a vast array of statistics, scores, and other data, as with the MLB app, which will be available on day one, in time for the World Series. Apple Productivity apps such as Bear , Fantastical , Notewise , Salesforce , Slack , Things , and Zoom take advantage of the larger inner display, and Microsoft Word and Outlook take advantage of the Duos Split View. Creative apps such as Detail , Instagram Edits , and VLLO provide an enhanced UI for video editing. Apple says apps that have been optimized will have a clear Made for iPhone Duo badge in the App Store. Of course, games provide a better experience on the Duos big screen. Game such as Asphalt Legends , Retrocade , Sneaky Sasquatch , Ungodly , Zenless Zone Zero have been optimized for the new phone. The large inner display and the sustained performance of A20 Pro let us put more of the track and every detail of our cars in front of users, so races look and feel incredible wherever they play, said Ral Orrego del Ro, of Gameloft, creator of Asphalt Legends. While Apples press release lists several more apps optimized for iPhone Duo, there are still many more that are not. Its not a new situation; when Apple introduced the iPad, iPhone 5, and iPhone X, several developers had their apps ready for the device launch, but a vast majority were not. Developers need some time to catch up, so if your favorite app looks odd on your iPhone Duo, be sure to check the App Store for updates. There could be one waiting for your Duo. Macworld will be posting an in-depth review of the iPhone Duo soon. In the meantime, check out our guide to everything you need to know about the iPhone Duo .
'Looksmaxxing' influencer Clavicular pleads not guilty in Mass. rape case
[Getty Images] Clavicular, a social media influencer who promotes the looksmaxxing trend of young men maximising their attractiveness, has pleaded not guilty to criminal charges including rape. The 20-year-old, whose real name is Braden Peters, was charged in September with felony rape, drugging an individual for sexual intercourse and procuring alcohol for someone under the age of 21. The charges stem from an incident in 2025 when he is accused of assaulting a 17-year-old girl at his family's Massachusetts home. Peters has denied the allegations and said the encounter was consensual. On Thursday, he was granted $10,000 bail, ordered not to contact or post about his accuser, and to surrender his passport. Clavicular walks a runway at Paris Fashion Week in June 2026 [Getty Images] A woman told police that on 23 May 2025, Peters ordered her an Uber to his family's house in Chatham where they were drinking alcohol while filming a livestream before he allegedly raped her, according to the BBC's US partner, CBS News. The police officer who took the report said he believed she was unable to consent due to her age and the level of intoxication she exhibited in the livestream, CBS reported. Clavicular has more than a million followers on TikTok and Instagram and has garnered media attention for extreme measures he has taken for looksmaxxing. He has admitted to using a hammer on his face and jawline and taking a number of steroids, injections, and other drugs to achieve bodily perfection. He also gives advice on appearing masculine and performs stunts to shock followers. In Florida earlier this year, he was charged after filming himself shooting at what appeared to be a dead alligator. He pleaded no contest to unlawfully discharging a firearm in public. In March, he was arrested on suspicion of battery after authorities suspected him of instigating a fight between two women. Authorities said in July that they did not intend to file charges. After Thursday's hearing, Peters posted a photo of himself in the black suit and black tie he wore to court, while holding his dog which he also brought to court. His next hearing will be on 24 November, when the judge will decide if there is enough evidence for the case to move forward.

Bigg Boss 20 contestant Mahhi Vij has opened up about her decision not to seek or accept alimony or maintenance from her estranged husband Jay Bhanushali. During a conversation with Aasif Khan inside the house, Mahhi said she chose to be financially independent and wanted to secure her daughter Taras future on her own. Mahhis comments came amid an emotional week for the contestants, many of whom have been missing their families. The actress recently found herself in a heated argument with Arishfa Khan after she made remarks about the influencers upbringing. Arishfa has spoken on the show about being raised by a single mother. Mahhi later acknowledged that her comments were wrong and apologised to Arishfa. However, the issue resurfaced during another argument on Wednesday, when Arishfa accused Mahhi of being disrespectful towards her mother and called her cheap. Following the confrontation, Mahhi broke down and spoke about her personal life while talking to Aasif. Mahhi Vij says she did not take alimony or maintenance During the conversation, Mahhi said, Arishfa is such a liar. I want to speak to her as I talk to my daughter Tara, but she is very disrespectful. That day, I felt bad about what I told her. I am a single mother and only I know how I survive every day. She then spoke about her relationship with Jay, and said, Jay pushes me to step out; he says I am at home around Tara all the time, and he also offers to look after Tara. But my life revolves around her, she added. Mahhi went on to claim that she did not take any money as alimony or ask for maintenance. I didnt take a single penny in alimony or even ask for maintenance. Im here on my merit, only so that my daughters life is secured. Its not like Jay doesnt offer to help, but I cannot ask for money from someone. Its his hard-earned money, she said. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mahhi Vinod Vij (@mahhivij) Mahhi recalls judge asking her to reconsider Mahhi further claimed that during their court proceedings, the judge asked her multiple times to reconsider her decision not to seek alimony or maintenance. When I was standing in the court, the judge asked me four times to reconsider not taking alimony or even maintenance. He insisted that I take it. I didnt take it because Jay earned that money after working very hard, she said. Mahhi clarified that her decision did not mean Jay would refuse to support her if she needed it. She said she considers his earnings the result of his own hard work. Not that he will refuse me for anything his entire locker is open for me. But its his efforts, he stood for 16 hours at work and earned that, she added.

Actor Saqib Saleem and actress Snehil Mishra have extended their support to Bigg Boss 20 contestant Asif Khan following his heated confrontation with fellow housemate Qazi Touqeer over a remark about a heart attack. The altercation began when Qazi jokingly said, Mujhe dil ka daura aa raha hai during a conversation with Mahhi Vij after she called him boring during a nominations task. Asif, who had previously spoken about a health scare, appeared to take the remark personally, leading to an argument that escalated into a physical confrontation. Asif headbutted Qazi during the clash. Amid the backlash surrounding the incident, Saqib Saleem and Snehil Mishra took to social media to express their support for Asif. Saqib Saleem shares a supportive note for Asif Khan Saqib Saleem shared a note on social media, addressing Asif directly and expressing pride in his journey. The actor acknowledged the physical and mental challenges Asif had faced, encouraging him to remain confident despite the controversy. His note read, Asif mere bhai . We know your truth . Keep your head high . You have gone through so much in life physically n mentally to be where you are . Proud of you Snehil Mishra calls for empathy amid the controversy Actress Snehil Mishra also voiced her support for Asif through an Instagram Story. Highlighting the importance of sensitivity when discussing someone's health, she said humour should not come at the expense of another person's struggles. Her note read, You can make people laugh without making someone's health struggles the joke. Entertainment should never come at the cost of empathy.Stay strong Aasif, we're rooting for you! For the unversed, Asif appeared to connect the comment with his own past health scare. In 2025, he was hospitalised after experiencing chest pain. While the incident was widely reported as a heart attack at the time, Asif later clarified that he had experienced gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which can cause symptoms resembling a heart attack, and said he was fine. The disagreement intensified as both contestants exchanged remarks, with Asif telling Qazi that he, too, could suffer a heart attack. The argument eventually turned physical when Asif headbutted Qazi. Also Read:Bigg Boss 20: Gauahar Khan, Aman Gandhi back Qazi Touqeer after Asif Khan headbutts him over heart attack comment
Despite my cooperation, Bikaner House removed all 70 photographs without explanation: Raihan Vadra
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 22 (IANS) Artist and photographer Raihan Vadra, son of Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, has said that despite his cooperation with Bikaner House, all 70 photographs from his exhibition were ordered to be removed without explanation. The controversy erupted after Raihan alleged that the Bikaner House administration ordered the removal of more than 70 photographs from his solo exhibition, 'No Idea Is Final', shortly before it was scheduled to open. Speaking exclusively to IANS, Raihan Vadra said, I think what happened was wrong. I fully cooperated with Bikaner House. I read its policy on political content and selected my photographs accordingly. We did not put up political slogans, and there were not many photographs of political leaders, he said. He added that initially he was asked to remove some photographs. I told them we would cooperate. I said they could remove four or five photographs if necessary, provided they gave us a reason, he said. However, we were not given any explanation. Instead, they asked us to remove all 70 photographs. I believe this was wrong, Raihan told IANS. He further said that public institutions like Bikaner House have a responsibility to uphold and protect freedom of expression of artists, gallery owners and others. He added that he was told that the photographs were against their policy. The photographs are also on my Instagram page. If you look at them, most feature ordinary people. They are at protests, but they are ordinary people. I also suggested that they should make their policies clearer and clarify who would decide what constitutes political content, he said. Most art is political, and if you dont agree then you should not implement such policies. I wasnt given a specific reason, he added. When asked whether he supported the protestors, he said, Yes, I attended the protest as both a participant and an artist. I support it both as an artist and as an individual. The exhibition, 'No Idea Is Final', was previewed on Wednesday and was scheduled to open on Thursday, running until Sunday. In an Instagram post on Wednesday, Raihan said the Bikaner House management had asked him to remove most of the artworks from the exhibition. The Bikaner House Management forced me to remove the bulk of the artworks displayed in my show 'No Idea Is Final,' which opened this evening at 7 p.m. The photos were of the youth protests in Delhi. Apparently, the content is 'objectionable'. They also directed me to remove two photos of the Tiranga. I refused. I will not take down a picture of the Indian flag, Vadra said.
