3 min readApr 12, 2026 12:52 AM IST Sanju Samson had a message for Stephen Fleming after his unbeaten 115 guided Chennai Super Kings to their first Chepauk win in six outings against Delhi Capitals on Sunday. “That was for Fleming,” Samson said of his Padayappa salute after reaching his century. “I know how hard it can get — leading a franchise for the last five years, I know how mentally challenging it can be. I just wanted to dedicate this to our coach.” The hundred, Samson’s first in yellow, came after a difficult start to his CSK stint and three consecutive defeats. He said the franchise’s calm had helped him settle. “Even losing three games in a row, we just had a meeting of 50 seconds today. That shows what this franchise is like — and that really connects with the person I am.” #CSK fans, bring out the whistles 💛 A first win of the season for the 5⃣-time #TATAIPL champions 👏 Scorecard ▶️ https://t.co/BzGc6O65jX #KhelBindaas | #CSKvDC | @ChennaiIPL pic.twitter.com/tS2xyOWgdj — IndianPremierLeague …

Synopsis: Sanju Samson’s first century in yellow steadies CSK as Jamie Overton’s 4/18 seals a first Chepauk win in six outings against Delhi Capitals As an edge raced to the third man boundary, Sanju Samson pumped his fists, raised the bat, and brought out Rajinikanth’s Padayappa salute. Chepauk erupted in whistles. Off the field, it had been more than three weeks since Samson had said, “Thatarom, thookurom” — smash it, lift the cup — and the yellow faithful had been waiting for the innings that would make the promise feel real. It came on Sunday. Unbeaten on 115 off 56 deliveries. CSK’s fourth win at home, their first in six outings at Chepauk. The innings had its complications. CSK finished 212/2, which on this surface felt like a score left on the table. The powerplay gave them 61, the final four overs 41 — both below par. Ruturaj Gaikwad’s sedate start held them back through the first half. Samson himself didn’t hit a single six in the first ten overs. The first came off the …

3 min readMar 8, 2026 06:37 PM IST The Iranian women’s football team was eliminated from the Women’s Asian Cup on Sunday after losing its final group match to the Philippines. What stood out during the game was that days after players of the Iran team were branded as “wartime traitors” on state television back home for staying mum during the national anthem, players not only sang, but also saluted during the national anthem on Sunday. The 2-0 defeat at Gold Coast Stadium on Sunday sealed the Iran team’s fate because they needed to defeat Philippines to keep their hopes of making it to the Asian Cup quarterfinals afloat. When the team had left Iran for Australia to participate in the Women’s Asian Cup, their country was not at war against the USA and Israel.

And despite the geographical distance between Iran and Australia, the players …

Ever wondered what India’s National Salute symbolises?

Ever wondered what India’s National Salute symbolises?

Published by Webster

The National Salute, popularly known as the 21-gun salute or ‘Ekees Topon ki Salami’, remains one of the most revered and symbolic rituals of India’s Republic Day celebrations. Rendered in honour of the President of India — the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces — the salute represents the highest form of military respect and, by extension, pays tribute to the sovereign Republic. At its core, the National Salute symbolises the authority of the Constitution and the supremacy of the people in a democratic republic. Unlike monarchies or colonial regimes, the President embodies the collective will of citizens, making the salute a reaffirmation of democratic equality rather than individual power. It also reflects peaceful intent, unity and the armed forces’ unwavering commitment to uphold the constitutional values of justice, liberty, equality and fraternity. The ceremonial firing of 21 blank rounds is synchronised precisely with the playing of the National Anthem, Jana Gana Mana, which lasts approximately 52 seconds. The thunderous yet measured booms are not a display of military aggression but a ceremonial expression of …
