Vinicius Jr starts setting his Country vs Club credentials right, with a beautiful equaliser against Morocco

Vinicius Jr starts setting his Country vs Club credentials right, with a beautiful equaliser against Morocco

5 min readJun 14, 2026 08:29 AM IST Vinicius Junior has heard it all and more. That he loves the club more than his country; that he cares for money rather than the crest; that he is an imposter to the lineage of the greats that have worn the jersey. Vinicius swallowed his pride; he humbly accepted his failing. Nine goals in 49 games is a grim reflection of his prowess. “I have been very bad,” he had confessed after the defeat to Uruguay in the qualification campaign. Maybe, it was the weight of the shirt, an emblem of all things beautiful about the game, a cloth that is a heritage. The number that denoted Garrincha and Jairzinho, the digit that denotes the genius on the wings. Vinicius tried as hard as he could, he devoted endless hours training with the national side; perhaps tried too hard. Not that the pressures of turning up for the most glamorous club in the world, Real Madrid were any less burdensome, but he was not the same man …

IPL 2026: Krunal’s playbook is setting a new trend

IPL 2026: Krunal’s playbook is setting a new trend

New Delhi: “He is pushing the boundaries of what finger spin means” – That’s how Dinesh Karthik frames Krunal Pandya, as the Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s spin-bowling all-rounder is attempting to solve a major problem. Krunal Pandya in action against Delhi Capitals. (REUTERS) In a format where batters prepare obsessively, where match-ups are studied and variations are catalogued, he sees deception as necessity. The Indian Premier League, in his words, has become a mental arms race. “Every ball has a sixer vibe,” he said – it’s not an exaggeration because the rules, pitches and approach seem to be relatively advantageous for the batters. There are now very safe lengths to bowl now. His question is survival-driven: What else can I add to stay one step ahead in the mental game? His answer for the last couple of seasons has been a spinner’s bouncer. According to CricViz, Krunal’s bouncer has become more efficient but less incisive. His economy rate has improved from 9.42 to 8.00, suggesting better control and fewer boundary leaks. But the strike rate has …

I am ‘targeted’, but won’t be a ‘coward’, says CM, setting off more speculation

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s social media post, in which he claimed that he was being “targeted” for reasons of his caste and social background, has stirred a hornet’s nest, coming amid the ongoing leadership tussle between him and his deputy D.K. Shivakumar. Opposition leaders on Saturday demanded that Mr. Siddaramaiah spell out who exactly was “targeting” him, while Mr. Shivakumar, who has been strongly pitching to be elevated to the Chief Minister’s post, refused to comment and said that he was unaware of what was said and in what context. No bed of roses The Chief Minister, in his post, had said, “My four decades of political life have never been a bed of roses. It has always been a path riddled with stones and thorns. Many big leaders have carried out numerous cunning conspiracies to politically finish me. With the blessings of the people, I have overcome all of them”. What he posted on X was excerpts from an article he wrote in a Kannada newspaper on Social Justice Day on Friday. In the post, …

Cardiovascular research scientist suggests setting the treadmill ‘at 10-12% incline’ and ‘walk 2-4 mph’ for 30-60 minutes, 3 days per week for fat loss; we verify | Fitness News

3 min readNew DelhiFeb 4, 2026 02:58 PM IST When it comes to fat loss, most people think of running or high-intensity workouts. But James DiNicolantonio, a cardiovascular research scientist, has suggested that walking with the right settings might be one of the most effective, sustainable ways to shed fat.  Instead of sprinting on the treadmill, the key may lie in adjusting the incline and speed for steady, controlled movement that engages the right muscle groups and burns more calories. According to the doctor’s advice, setting the treadmill “at 10-12% incline” and walking at “2-4 mph” for 30-60 minutes, three times per week, can help accelerate fat loss.  Walking at an incline increases the intensity of the workout, but it is also a more accessible option for many people. However, how effective this approach is, and who should be trying it, depends on several factors such as fitness levels, age, and any underlying health conditions. To better understand whether this fat loss method is as effective as it sounds, we asked an expert to share …
