UP T20 League: Choudhary's Last-over Heroics Lead Kings To Thrilling Win Over Lions
UP T20 League Governing Council: Anivesh Choudhary produced a sensational late blitz as Noida Kings pulled off a dramatic three-wicket victory over Gaur Gorakhpur Lions in a high-scoring UP T20 League clash at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Thursday. Chasing a target of 186, Noida Kings were in dire straits -- requiring 18 runs off the final six deliveries. Choudhary, who remained unbeaten on an explosive 34 off just 15 balls, smashed two consecutive sixes, followed by taking two runs and hitting a boundary on the penultimate ball to seal a memorable win for his team with a ball to spare. Earlier, opting to bat first, Gaur Gorakhpur Lions rode on a strong start to post 185/9 in their 20 overs. Openers Abhay Pratap Singh and skipper Aryan Juyal stitched a solid 72-run partnership to set the foundation for a big total. Abhay eventually top-scored with a 41-ball 70, while Siddharth Yadav chipped in with a rapid 51 off 28 deliveries. For the Kings, Bobby Yadav was the star performer with the ball, picking up 4-48 to stem the run flow late in the innings. The match had earlier been inaugurated by Dr. Raj Shekhar (IAS), Managing Director of UP Jal Nigam (Rural), who performed the traditional Bell Ringing Ceremony in the presence of UP T20 League Governing Council Chairman Dr. Sanjay Kapoor, member Sanjeev Kumar Singh, and former India cricketer Manvinder Bisla.

From Kargil's Op Safed Sagar to Bholari's Op Sindoor: How Indian Air Force grew in capability
Operation Sindoor marked a decisive shift in India's use of air power compared to the improvised 1999 Kargil War, when the IAF fought at extreme altitudes with scarce precision weapons and strict orders not to cross the LoCdespite this, the Muntho Dhalo strike proved decisive. Triggered by the Pahalgam terror attack, Sindoor began with strikes on nine terror sites in Pakistan and PoK. When Pakistan escalated with drones and missiles, India retaliated with stand-off weapons, degrading air-defence infrastructure at Lahore, Karachi, Sialkot, Chunian, Pasrur and Arifwala, and hitting airbases like Nur Khan, Rafiqui, Murid, Sargodha, Rahim Yar Khan, Sukkur, Shahbaz and Bholari using BrahMos, SCALP and Rampage missilesall within 88 hours. Four pillars enabled this leap: advanced platforms (Rafale, Su-30MKI-BrahMos), layered defences (S-400, Akash), rigorous training, seamless joint planning, and political resolve. From Safed Sagar's improvisation to Sindoor's precision, the IAF has matured into a force capable of shaping strategic outcomes at depth.#OperationSindoor #IndianAirForce #IAF #IndianDefence #India #BrahMos #Rafale #Su30MKI #SCALP #Rampage #S400 #Akash #AirPower #AirStrike #PrecisionStrike #StandOffWeapons #Pahalgam #Pakistan #PoK #KargilWar #OperationSafedSagar #MunthoDhalo #DefenceTechnology #MilitaryStrategy #IndianArmedForces #ModernWarfare #DefenceNews #MilitaryAviation #IndiaPakistan #StrategicAirPower

Yorkshire CEO Believes International Match Allocation Has Been 'unfair' To Headingley
Yorkshire CEO Sanjay Patel: Yorkshire CEO Sanjay Patel believes the allocation of international matches for the 2027-2031 cycle by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has been unfair to Headingley, as it leaves the iconic venue without a marquee Test match. The venue has missed out on hosting an Ashes Test in 2027 and will not host a Test against India in 2029, making it the only major English venue excluded from both lucrative and high-profile series. We're pretty disappointed with the allocation; we don't feel it's fair in terms of our cricketing history, the scale of the recreational game, and the club's finances. It's definitely something that we're going to have to navigate as a club in the next two or three years. We've got to make sure that when the next allocation comes up, we have the plans in place to make sure cricket is played at this ground in a meaningful way, that means we're going to have to raise external investment, have to raise our facilities and almost make sure we get the big Test matches here, because it's really important, Patel told BBC TMS during the ongoing Test between England and Pakistan. He also acknowledged the complexity of assigning fixtures across the country but argued the current distribution distorts the balance for cricket in the northern region. I think match allocations are always difficult because you're trying to keep a lot of people happy and you probably don't have enough Test matches and other content to go around. As long as it's done in a balanced way and a fair way, not just done through a financial lens, it's what's actually important for cricket in England and Wales, then that's ok. I'd argue that the current allocation probably doesn't get the balance right. Hopefully, moving forward, that balance will be addressed through to the next allocations. We'd hope that we would get our fair share of Test cricket, he said. The loss of top-tier fixtures carries substantial financial implications for Yorkshire, which means they need to make the most out of the games allotted to them. This is hugely important for our finances. The way our business works, we are reliant on Men's international cricket. If we don't have a Test match, we will probably lose a million and a half this year, so it's essential we make the most of this match financially. But it's not just about the finances. The Yorkshire public have got a very special affinity with Test cricket. It's important for the people of England and Wales that there's a lot of Test cricket being played here at Headingley to inspire the next generation of cricket. To improve its standing for future allocation rounds, Yorkshire plans to restructure its corporate setup to finance stadium upgrades. I'd like to think that we're in a slightly better position compared to where we were when the allocation got sent out. Financially, we're very stable; the club is moving forwards in the right way, and we've recently announced a ten-year strategy. ECB are aware of that strategy and are very supportive; I think we're reasonably well placed for the next allocation. We've got to get Headingley to be a world-class stadium. To improve its standing for future allocation rounds, Yorkshire plans to restructure its corporate setup to finance stadium upgrades. I'd like to think that we're in a slightly better position compared to where we were when the allocation got sent out. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories We've got a full plan to redevelop the ground. We are a members' club, roughly around 8,000.

Who's CALLING The SHOTS In Trump's Iran War? New Report EXPOSES Pete Hegseth's WIFE's Pentagon Role
Is Pete Hegseth really running the Pentagon alone? A New York Times report is raising questions about the extraordinary influence of his wife, Jennifer Hegseth, inside the Defense Department. The former Fox News executive producer is reportedly one of Hegseths most influential advisers, helping prepare him for appearances, sitting in on media meetings, interviewing potential staff members and brainstorming Pentagon videos. Her involvement has also drawn scrutiny over her presence in sensitive meetings and a past Signal chat involving military strike plans.

Critics, however, question whether an unelected spouse should have such access and influence inside Americas national security establishment.

Divyastra Mk 3: How India's Indigenous Drone Blends Missile Speed with UAV Endurance
Description:On August 11, a major milestone unfolded in modern warfare as Indias Divyastra Mark 3 successfully took to the skies for its maiden flight. Bridging the gap between a patient surveillance drone and a high-speed strike missile, this novel loitering munition solves a dilemma militaries have faced for decades.In this video, we explore how this jet-powered kamikaze drone is reshaping tactical warfare by trading conventional propellers for a miniature turbojet engine engineered by DG Propulsion. Built by Lucknow-based Kawa UAV (HoverIt), the Divyastra Mark 3 eliminates the speed liability of traditional drones without sacrificing the patience needed to search for evasive targets like mobile radars and missile launchers. We break down the engineering balancing act between fuel burn and loiter time, examine why traditional missiles fall short against pop-up threats, and discuss why a fully indigenous, miniature jet engine is a massive leap forward for Indias future defence capabilities.#DefenceHQ #DefenceHQtimesofindia #timesofindiadefence #DivyastraMark3 #DivyastraMk3 #KawaUAV #DGPropulsion #IndianDefense #LoiteringMunition #MakeInIndia #AtmanirbharBharat #DefenseTech #DroneWarfare #KamikazeDrone #IndianAirForce #IndianArmy #FutureTech #TechExplainer

Israel says the operation was necessary over concerns about a possible Turkish military deployment, but both Syria and Trkiye have denied the allegations.With tensions already rising between Israel, Syria and Trkiye and US-Israel relations facing fresh strains the latest strike could add another dangerous flashpoint to an already volatile Middle East.
Arnold Praises 'class' Padikkal And 'patient' Suthar For Being Architects Of India's Win In Galle
Former Sri Lanka: Former Sri Lanka cricketer Russel Arnold has praised the class of Devdutt Padikkal and a patient Manav Suthar for being the primary architects of India's emphatic 165-run victory in the first Test at Galle International Stadium. Playing in his third Test, Padikkal was the calm aggressor at number three in B Sai Sudharsans absence and smashed a career-best 167 in the first innings, which ensured India held complete control of the match. A crucial second-innings 44 from the Karnataka batters willow helped India get a bigger lead over Sri Lanka. Padikkal seems to be in a great zone. He just seems to know exactly what he's about. He uses his strengths really well, and that's his reach and the way he uses his feet - playing on these slower conditions and pitches are an art, actually. It might seem easy, but everyone doesn't get runs. As you would have seen right throughout the test match, everyone else did struggle. Most others did struggle, and the fact that he's confident and he's been doing really well in all formats, I think this opportunity has come at the right time so that his form also does count. But he's shown a lot of class and quality, and I reckon he's one that India can expect a lot from, Arnold told IANS in a virtual interaction organised by Sony Sports Network on Thursday. If Padikkal laid the base for Indias victory with the bat, a classical Suthar, hailing from Sri Ganganagar in Rajasthan, used his subtle changes in pace and variations to ensure Sri Lanka never recovered from the big strikes made by him. His match figures of 4-76 and 6-55 helped him outshine a star-studded spin attack featuring Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav. Arnold compared Suthar's methodical patience to Sri Lanka spin bowling great Rangana Herath. Suthar, on the other hand, is so simple, so good to watch, and I think that's his strength - being simple and being patient. On Sri Lankan pitches, we keep harping about the fact that you do get natural variations. Of course, certain spinners have a lot of skill. That was Murali, for example, or Warne. But others who have done really well have been by keeping it simple and staying patient. The best case in point is Rangana Herath, and Suthar seemed to be doing just that. Getting in there, just varying his pace and varying how he releases the ball. It was all there and thereabouts. So that was the good thing from those two. The patience of Suthar is what took him through, and that is hard to maintain, he added. With Ravichandran Ashwin retired and Jadeja entering the twilight of his career, alongside India's ongoing search for a long-term number three post Cheteshwar Pujaras departure, the emergence of Padikkal and Suthar comes as good news for the Test team. Getting in there, just varying his pace and varying how he releases the ball. It was all there and thereabouts. So that was the good thing from those two. The patience of Suthar is what took him through, and that is hard to maintain, he added.
