As Suryakumar Yadav is dismissed by a pacer for seventh time this IPL, Mahela Jayawardene gives his verdict | Cricket News

Published by Webster

3 min readMay 3, 2026 08:00 AM IST As Suryakumar Yadav picked Dewald Brevis at deep cover after racing to 21 off 12 deliveries off Ramakrishna Ghosh, it was the seventh instance of him falling to pacers this IPL season. While there hasn’t been a particular trend in terms of his struggles during this lean patch which has carried on from India colours, his repeated dismissals to pacers – one of his strongest suits – has thrown open a question whether opposition have found a way to expose his chinks. But Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawadene has refused to get into it, and rather believed only a few scores away from finding the rhythm again. “Not really, I think if he gets a few scores together, I think he’ll find that rhythm, he batted really well today for that period, really took on the bowlers in that phase,” Jayawardene said. In a season where Suryakumar has struggled for tempo in his knocks, on Saturday his arrival provided Mumbai Indians a much-needed momentum in the …

BTS lands seventh Billboard 200 No. 1 with ARIRANG, breaks decade-long group record | Korean News

Published by Parlour News

BTS has claimed their seventh No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with ARIRANG, their first full group project in nearly four years since completing mandatory military service. The album opened with 641,000 equivalent album units earned in its first tracking week, the largest opening week for an album by a group since Billboard began measuring by equivalent album units in December 2014. The debut cements what many had already suspected since the album’s release on March 20: that the group’s return from a years-long hiatus, one defined by solo careers and mandatory service, had done nothing to diminish their grip on the global music market. The numbers behind the debut are staggering across every metric. Of ARIRANG’s 641,000 equivalent album units, pure album sales comprise 532,000, the group’s biggest sales week ever, while streaming equivalent album units comprise 95,000, equaling 99.10 million on-demand official streams, also BTS’ biggest streaming week ever for an album. Physical sales drove much of the chart performance, according to a report by Billboard. ARIRANG’s first-week sales were largely powered …

Ranji Trophy Final: With his seventh five-wicket haul of the season, Auqib Nabi takes Jammu and Kashmir to the doorsteps of maiden title and himself closer to an India call-up | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Auqib Nabi had some unfinished business at hand in Hubballi. He had promised himself a session on Friday to wrap up the job. He stuck to his word on Day 4 – two sessions after crafting a dream spell that propelled him closer to an India cap and Jammu and Kashmir to a historic Ranji Trophy triumph in their first attempt. There was the bittersweet feeling of not getting a steady go at Mayank Agarwal, the rearguard centurion who had ushered Karnataka to 222 for five overnight. During a jaw-dropping act lasting nine overs across both ends on Thursday afternoon, Nabi constricted KL Rahul, Karun Nair and R Smaran. But Agarwal, the ageing warhorse, got away. The Karnataka opener faced only four deliveries from Nabi in his first spell, but a trail of breadcrumbs was still left for Nabi to work on. His conspicuous forward movement helped Agarwal ward off the imminent threat of seam movement. Agarwal then based his knock on a series of cuts, charged drives and flicks against the spinners, belting a …

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) on Thursday (February 5, 2026) issued the Telecommunication (Broadcasting and Cable) Services Interconnection (Addressable Systems) (Seventh Amendment) Regulations, 2026, following consultations with stakeholders. “During various interactions with the Authority, the stakeholders had highlighted the need for improving audit related provisions in the Interconnection Regulations 2017 (as amended) and the audit manual; reducing repetitive audits of DPOs (Distribution Platform Operators), resulting in resource wastage, operational disruption, and diminished stakeholders’ confidence in the audit process; and incorporating provisions related to infrastructure sharing in the audit framework,” said TRAI. They also sought measures to enhance the accountability of auditors and categorising auditors based on their experience to ensure credibility of auditors. Based on the consultations, TRAI finalised the amendment regulations. The salient features include: Clearly defined timelines for audits; wherein distributors have to conduct audit and submit audit report to broadcasters by September 30 every year; Audit is to be done on financial year basis in place of calendar year; and Broadcasters can depute their representative during audit to ensure transparency …

Top Highest Grossing Films in APTS: Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu Seventh

Published by Parlour News

Telugu film Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu is showing good legs in the later stages of its run. The film grossed Rs. 6 crore approx in its third weekend, with another Rs. 1 crore plus coming yesterday on Monday. While this is the third week for the film, it is more like the fourth, as it was released on a Monday and yesterday was the twenty-second day of its run. The total box office collection for the film stands at Rs. 237 crore approx. Out of that, Rs. 209 crore approx has come from the Telugu states. Last week, that seemed like the potential closing number for it, but now it has achieved that already and will likely be reaching around Rs. 215 crore. It ranks seventh highest-grossing film in the Telugu states, which is going to be its final position as it will get close to Salaar and Devara at the fifth and sixth place, but is unlikely to catch them. MSVPG has overperformed in Andhra Pradesh, particularly in the Coastal Andhra districts, where it …
