3 min readFeb 24, 2026 05:36 PM IST Following their heavy defeat to South Africa in the first Super 8 clash at the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, the Indian cricket team find themselves backed into a corner. They now need to win both their games, against Zimbabwe and the West Indies to qualify for the semis. After the Super-8 defeat to South Africa, the Indian think tank (and their fans) will keep one eye on the permutations and combinations. History suggests this is not unfamiliar territory for Team India. At least thrice in recent past, the Indian team has fought its way out of back-to-the-wall situations: 2007: When India fought their way to T20 WC title In 2007, at the inaugural ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in South Africa, India’s campaign began with a washout and a tie against Pakistan, decided by a bowl out. With only limited points on the board, the England clash became decisive. India responded with a commanding win in Durban, powered by Yuvraj Singh’s six sixes in an …

Sarvam Maya budget and box office collection: And just like that, actor Nivin Pauly has successfully crossed the rocky path he had been traversing for a long time and added a new blockbuster to his repertoire after years.

Also starring Riya Shibu, Aju Varghese, Janardhanan, and Preity Mukhundhan in key roles, the horror comedy has officially crossed a significant milestone now.

Spurs reach Europa League semis despite dire season, Ange Postecoglu hits back at critics: ‘Have to put up with me a bit longer’ | Football News

Towards the end of a remarkably poor season, in which they have lost 17 of their 32 Premier League games so far which sees them languishing in 15th position, Spurs kept their hopes alive for a first piece of silverware in 17 years after they snuck away with a 1-0 win away from home against Eintracht Frankfurt to reach the semifinals of the UEFA Europa League. While much of the breathing space was taken up by Manchester United’s breathless comeback victory against Olympique Lyonnais late on Thursday, it fell under the radar that the favourites to give them competition for the title are now fellow underperforming English giants that are desperate for a trophy, as well as a backdoor entry into next year’s Champions League and the all crucial financial gains that come with it. After Dominic Solanke netted a first-half penalty, Spurs put together one of their most mature and consistent performances of the season to defend well against a good attacking side and get over the line away from home. Coach Ange Postecoglu …

George RR MArtin poses with one of the three dire wolf pups “So D-Day came early, on April 7 instead of April 8. Welcome to Direwolf Day. I’ve been holding my tongue for months now, sworn to silence yet dying to tell the world. Pardon my shouting, but… THE DIREWOLF IS BACK… There’s so much more to say… and a lot of stories out there are saying it. For my part… well, let me first thank Peter Jackson, who phoned me up from New Zealand with a mysterious suggestion that I phone this guy named Ben Lamm, who had something huge he wanted to share with me. Peter had taken an oath of silence, so he could not share the secret with me, but I could hear the excitement in his voice, so I made the call. And damn, I am …

Scientists Revive Dire Wolves Using Ancient DNA and Modern Gene Editing

Scientists Revive Dire Wolves Using Ancient DNA and Modern Gene Editing

Published by Webster

Three live dire wolf pups have been born using reconstructed DNA. The extinct species had last roamed North America around 12,500 years ago. The milestone was reached by a Dallas-based biotech firm that focuses on genetic conservation. Ancient DNA samples from fossilised remains were analysed. Modern gene-editing tools were used to mimic key characteristics of the extinct predator. These pups were brought to life by implanting modified embryos into domestic dog surrogates. The young wolves have been named Romulus, Remus and Khaleesi. Ancient DNA edited in lab to recreate species According to a study shared by Colossal Biosciences, DNA samples had been collected from two ancient dire wolf fossils. One was a 13,000-year-old tooth, while the other was a 72,000-year-old skull fragment. These fragments were compared to modern wolf relatives and grey wolves were chosen for DNA alteration because of their evolutionary proximity. Gene sequences that were found only in dire wolves were isolated. These were introduced into the DNA of grey wolves through targeted editing. Cloning technique used to implant embryos The altered genetic …

India’s last win of consequence was a 0-1 away victory against Kuwait in a World Cup qualifier in November 2023. Since then, an AFC Asian Cup has passed, numerous other WC qualifiers have gone by and those matches are sandwiched between friendlies played against different countries. The only result that has gone in their favour has been a 3-0 win against Maldives, a team that hasn’t seen a domestic league in two years. Since that Kuwait win, India have picked up seven losses, six draws and one win. The sixth draw in that disastrous run of results came on Tuesday when India mustered a grand total of two shots on goal in over 90 minutes of football, and opened their 2027 AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers with a draw that really was an escape from a defeat. To gather a larger picture of the game, against a team ranked 185th in the world, Marquez was made to search for the right words, and the Spaniard had this to offer: “Maybe this is the reality of Indian …

Coming off an embarrassing 0-3 loss to New Zealand on home soil , India roared back to hand Australia their first-ever Test loss at the Optus Stadium inside four days. Ganguly said Indian team’s performance was contrary to what the media in both the countries reported, but said India will have to keep applying pressure on Australia given there are four more Tests left. “I gave a couple of interviews (before the series) and I said this, ‘what you are asking me?’ They said, ‘you know, they lost 3-0 against New Zealand, they will be blown away by Australia’,” he told the broadcaster during the Indian Premier League mega auction here. “Obviously there were media reports back in Australia that ‘we will blow them away’.
