The Sri Lankan fast bowler was bought for a whopping sum of Rs 18 crore at the IPL 2026 auction. He, however, missed the initial phase of the tournament due to a calf injury he had suffered in the T20 World Cup 2026 that concluded in March. In his maiden game for KKR, the pacer bowled only eight balls before walking off the ground due to injury.

https://ift.tt/ZpAV98L Daniel Craig was last seen as the iconic James Bond in the 2021 film No Time to Die . The official search for the next 007 reportedly began in mid-May 2026. Earlier today, director Shekhar Kapur voted for action star John Abraham as his preferred choice for the role. What's Happening Shekhar Kapur took to X and wrote, "As the search for the next Bond heats up, my vote for the next James Bond after Daniel Craig would be John Abraham. He has the cool 'shaken, not stirred' persona and is certainly a good actor with the 'Bond charm'. By the way, Daniel Craig was cast as James Bond after the producers saw him in my film Elizabeth. #JamesBond #JohnAbraham @TheJohnAbraham." John Abraham replied, "Thank you so much Sir @shekharkapur. Truly humbled by your words and encouragement. Coming from someone who not only redefined storytelling but also had the instinct to spot Daniel Craig before the world saw Bond in him... this means...

https://ift.tt/lVdOLWs Finfluencer and content creator Ankur Warikoo on Friday (May 15) announced the closure of his education platform that provides upskilling courses. In a social media post, Warikoo said continuing the business "did not make sense", despite the venture's strong financial track record over the past six years. According to Warikoo, the platform achieved significant commercial success during its operation, generating Rs 100 crore in total sales and securing Rs 25 crore in profits. "I am shutting down my 100 crores courses business. We've grown beyond what I could have imagined since we started in 2020," wrote Warikoo in an X (formerly Twitter) post, adding: "5 lakh students. 100 crores in sales. 25 crores in profits. But it makes no sense to continue it." Warikoo added that he would share more details about the decision in another video scheduled for Saturday (May 16) at 8:30 pm IST. "I'll be sharing more about my de...

https://ift.tt/h9rc75m The bilateral summit between the United States and China in Beijing did not feature a single woman. Photographs that emerged from the high-stakes meeting at the Great Hall of the People between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping revealed entirely male delegations. The visuals have triggered widespread backlash and a global debate regarding gender representation at the highest levels of diplomacy. Gita Gopinath, an economics professor at Harvard University, took to X and described the all-male optics as, "A painting of the end of meritocracy: A meeting of the two largest economies and not one woman at the table." She spoke to the Guardian and further described the situation as "inexplicable" about how the two countries ended up with a "single-gender" table despite having many talented women around the world. "We have somehow gravitated back to this idea that what matters is your network and not yo...

https://ift.tt/PqDBao4 Chennai Super Kings' dreams of reaching the IPL 2026 Playoffs were dealt a massive blow as the Ruturaj Gaikwad -led side slumped to a 7-wicket loss against Lucknow Super Giants in Lucknow on Friday. Akash Singh took three wickets against his old side but Kartik Sharma ended up scoring a fiery half-century to take CSK to 187/5 in 20 overs. In response, Mitchell Marsh slammed 90 off just 38 deliveries while Josh Inglis scored 36 as LSG completed the run chase with more than three overs to spare. As a result, CSK dropped to the sixth position with 12 points. They have the same number of points as Rajasthan Royals but they fell down one position in the points table due to an inferior Net Run Rate (NRR). If CSK win both of their remaining matches - Sunrisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Titans, they will have 16 points from 14 matches and that should be just enough to book a Top 4 spot for the five-time champions. However, with 5 teams having the chance to reach 16 ...

Speaking before departing China, Trump said the meetings had resulted in "fantastic trade deals" and settled "a lot of different problems" in his meetings with China's Xi Jinping this week. However, the details of the deals and problems Trump has spoken about have not come to light yet.

"We've settled a lot of different problems that other people wouldn't have been able to solve," he added, though he did not specify whi...
