Cricket World Cup 2023: Rohit Sharma came level with Virat Kohli in an elite list after missing out on a tonne against England on Sunday.

As the batter who has scored the most fifty-plus runs in the history of the ODI World Cup, India’s captain Rohit Sharma tied the record with former captain Virat Kohli. The two are tied at twelve, one place behind the great Sachin Tendulkar (21).

After hitting a half-century against England on Sunday in India’s 2023 World Cup match in Lucknow, Rohit accomplished the feat. In his 477th innings, Rohit accomplished the milestone of 18000 international runs earlier in the game. He was only the fifth Indian player to surpass the threshold by achieving this. Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, Tendulkar, and Kohli are the other players on the list.

After scoring a slog sweep boundary off Adil Rashid in the 21st over of the first innings, he surpassed 18000 runs. At present, Rohit’s run totals are 3677 in Tests, 3853 in T20Is, and 10570 in ODIs. He has 45 tonnes and 98 half-centuries in all. Along with that, he joined Shubman Gill and Pathum Nissanka as the third batter in 2023 to score 1000 runs in one-day internationals. Additionally, Rohit has now reached 1000 runs in a calendar year five times.

Even though Rohit scored fifty runs against England, India’s batting order collapsed early on, causing several problems. It was also Kohli’s first duck in the history of the ODI World Cup. Ben Stokes made an easy catch at mid-off after Kohli misplayed his shot in the air after Willey delivered a delivery around middle.

Additionally, this is the RCB player’s third duck versus England and his 16th in ODIs. He played his first ODI duck against England in 2011 at Eden Gardens and again in 2013 in Dharamshala. In 6.5 overs, India was at 27/2 when Kohli left the pitch. Even Shubman Gill (9), who was removed by Chris Woakes, was lost earlier for India. Shreyas Iyer, meanwhile, was also dismissed cheaply, leaving the pitch after four balls instead of sixteen.

After hitting 87 off 101 balls, which included 10 fours and three sixes, Rohit was eventually out of the game. In the 37th over, he was sent back to the pavilion after just missing out on a tonne. After Adil Rashid gave him a googly, Rohit mistimed his stroke and sent it straight to deep midwicket, where Liam Livingstone was racing to make a sliding catch. When Rohit was removed from the game, India had scored 164/5 in 36.5 overs. Rohit will never forget the blow, especially because it came on his 100th game as captain of India.

With the successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the moon’s surface, India has written history. Days after Russia’s mission ended in failure, the Chandrayaan-3 lander successfully made contact with the moon’s south pole, which is regarded to be a possible source of water and oxygen. The rocket was launched on July 14 by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), taking off from the nation’s primary spaceport in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh. What does success entail for India, though? Dr. Surendra Pal, a former ISRO advisor, tells Aditi Prasad of the Hindustan Times.

Simone Biles, a world-renowned gymnast, competes in the US Classic this weekend for the first time since she was forced to withdraw from numerous events at the Tokyo Olympics in July 2021 due to a “the twisties” attack.

She kept her ideas under wraps until a few weeks ago, but now she claims she can twist just well. She may be back to her record-breaking best, capable of completing the Yurchenko double-pike vault, which no other woman has ever done, according to results from an untelevised national training camp.

In addition to all of that, there’s another reason to be happy: Biles’s comeback provides more proof that gymnastics’ previous culture, which at times cruelly and bizarrely infantilized competitors, may be dying.

Biles, 26, may be referred to as “old” for her sport by pundits. It has been commonly stated that female gymnasts typically enter the sport as teenagers and leave it shortly after. But the reasons are hardly discussed.

Jessica O’Beirne, the long-running GymCastic podcast’s host, stated that having a strong strength-to-weight ratio is a requirement for gymnastics. “Right now, power and strength—more specifically, power—are the focal points. If you don’t have the power, you can’t perform the necessary gymnastics.

Weight was the main focus back in the day. Athletes were under pressure from coaches to eat less to lose weight, and thin was frequently a sign of prepubescence. The TV commentary of previous events provides the best documentation that a small, infantile frame was the ideal; gymnastics aficionados now gleefully share around video of the poorest specimens.

One sports documentary stated about Nadia Comaneci and her coach, “She would prove Bela Karolyi’s theory that to wait until after puberty was to waste the best of their years.”

When Comaneci, just 14 years old, earned a perfect 10 at the 1976 Olympics, she enthralled the globe. The world feared she had outgrown the sport in 1980 when she was taller and had the physique of a young woman, not a girl.

Svetlana Boginskaya was described by a commentator as having put on weight prior to the 1991 European Championships. However, she still managed to take first place in the tournament, proving her strength. She’s back here in great shape and appears even skinnier than before.

An odd defence of Tatiana Lysenko, the reigning Olympic beam champion, was made in 1994 by a television analyst. “Many viewers would certainly glance at her and exclaim, ‘Oooh she’s a big girl!’ yet she’s actually a very, very shapely young lady. On television, it’s really challenging to determine these gymnasts’ sizes.

In addition to being harsh and harmful, the pressure to maintain a small figure doesn’t last over time. It puts athletes at risk for the female athlete trifecta, which includes having less energy, a lowered bone density, and missing their period (or having it irregularly). Stress fractures and other severe injuries may result from that.

Jennifer Sey, a national champion in 1986, has spoken about surviving on a diet of lettuce and apples while being coached by a man who yelled, “I don’t coach fat gymnasts!” She admitted to CNN that she competed for two years with a broken ankle.

The 2010 world silver medallist Mattie Larson revealed to me that she once competed after only consuming two Toblerone triangles that day. I felt really exhausted. At the end of practise, I always thought I was going to faint, said Larson. “I started taking so many laxatives every day when I was about 15 or 16. My practise emphasis was insanely different from gymnastics. Don’t pee your pants in your leotard, it was like.

Larson sustained numerous wounds. She said that she gravely hurt both of her feet at a national training camp. “I had to stay the rest of the camp crawling on my hands and knees,” recalled Larson.

Some coaches, according to podcaster O’Beirne, have learned from prior errors. “One of the things that has completely changed is how vital nutrition is now recognised by the public. You will have broken bones frequently during your career and won’t be able to endure what it takes to recover from numerous Olympics if you don’t have your nutrition and if you don’t receive your period early enough, she warned. The athletes who have excelled the most were already in possession of adult bodies. Despite being 4’8”, Biles is unmistakably an adult.

Nowadays, gymnasts lift weights in several nations. Ellie Black, a Canadian gymnast, shares videos of herself “entering beast mode” on Instagram. O’Beirne attributes Black’s longevity to her weight training.

.

Black, who is 27 years old, has participated in three Olympics and won two medals in the world championships last year. The Olympic gold medallist Jade Carey, who is 23, and Jordan Chiles, who took home three medals at the world championships last year, are both competitors with Biles this weekend who defy the stereotype of the prepubescent teen.

Similar to Biles, Carey and Chiles can extend their reach from the vault farther for greater execution points, and they can add additional twists to their routines for higher difficulty scores. Chinese women gymnasts, who frequently have less strong physiques, haven’t taken home an Olympic or world championship medal on vault in more than a decade.

O’Beirne claimed that certain athletic administrators are still fixated on how skinny gymnasts are. She claimed that a representative from USA Gymnastics named a promising gymnast and remarked that she had “the international look,” which has long been a slang term for slim. O’Beirne admitted, “I laughed out loud because I assumed he was kidding. He was unaware that this was a hazardous phrase.

But as she pointed out, gymnasts are now far more exposed to the outside world. “The body pride that college athletes have now is something we did not see in the past,” she said.”They were able to in some ways because of social media because they were like, ‘Oh, I’m very hot, and I’m going to share a bunch of photographs of my butt because I’ve worked really hard for that butt and it looks fantastic.’ Yes, on the one hand – male gaze, etc. However, if they had looked like that back in the day, they would have been body shamed and dismissed from a squad. Now they don’t, though.

A throng gathered for an event that police claim was not authorised or approved by the city, and Cenat, a well-known YouTube and Twitch celebrity, was detained as a result.

According to officials, a social media influencer has been accused with “inciting to riot” after a giveaway in a New York City park descended into violence on Friday.

According to an NYPD official, Kai Cenat, a live-streamer of video games, had been charged with riot, inciting riot, and unlawful assembly.

They said that he was given a desk appearance ticket, which entails that he must show up in court at a later time.

According to New York City Police Chief Jeffrey Maddrey, thousands of primarily young individuals gathered on Manhattan’s Union Square on Friday afternoon, and Cenat, 21, had been taken from the area for his safety.

According to Maddrey, 65 persons were detained. He said that thirty of them were children.

People tossed bottles, pyrotechnics, rocks, and paint cans that had been taken from a construction site at the park before they were brought into custody, according to Maddrey.

He said that three policemen had been hurt. A sergeant’s hand was fractured.

He said, “Officers were attacked, we were crushed,” and claimed he had been struck by “multiple objects.”

He remarked, “I personally saw young kids experiencing panic attacks, having anxiety attacks. “Out here, people were in pain.”

Cenat stated on his Twitch account on Wednesday that he would hold a “huge” giveaway featuring gaming consoles, computers, keyboards, chairs, and other accessories.

The video has more than 2 million views as of Friday afternoon.

The event was scheduled to start at 4 p.m., but by 3 p.m. the park was already full, according to NBC New York.

Maddrey claimed that the city had neither approved nor disapproved of the event.

Aerial footage from Friday afternoon showed a large crowd assembled in a Manhattan park. People could be seen standing on automobiles in the video, which appeared to show a battle.

Officers in plainclothes and uniform could be seen around the gathering, and at one point a loud bang could be heard.

By 5:30 p.m., people had started to leave the area and police had blocked all of the entrances. Teens in groups were giggling and saying they didn’t worry about their safety.

One 16-year-old, who went by the name Rodrigo, claimed to be a fan of Cenat and had come in hopes of winning cash or even a gaming device.

Then, he continued, “there was a huge storm of people running and there were cops everywhere.”

Two more teenagers claimed they went for the “vibes” and to meet Cenat, whom one of them called the “best person in the world,” but instead witnessed pushing, shoving, people throwing items, and a child who “almost passed out.”

Cenat has been making material for years, but his most popular Twitch streams include games, practical jokes, and funny reactions.

After finishing a 30-day nonstop livestream, colloquially known as a “subathon,” he smashed the Twitch record for most active subscribers in March.

The outlandish actions that Cenat is known for have put him into some issues on the platform.

The post A 13-run inning for the Angels was started by B2B2B HRs — on 3 pitches! appeared first on .

In the Angels’ game against the Rockies on Saturday at Coors Field, the third inning included an astounding 13 runs and came off only three pitches. The club homered on three straight pitches for the first time in almost three years, and the 13 runs tied a team record that had been set in both 1978 and 1997.

Opening the period with a solo drive on a 1-0 fastball from right-hander Chase Anderson, superstar Mike Trout then was followed by Brandon Drury, who also launched a single shot on a first-pitch cutter.

The Angels then recorded back-to-back-to-back home runs for the second time this season when Matt Thaiss leaped all over a first-pitch curveball for a dinger.

On April 23, against the Royals, Taylor Ward, Mike Trout, and Shohei Ohtani hit three straight home runs for the Angels. And the Yankees, who ironically also homered on three consecutive pitches from Anderson on September 17, 2020, were the previous team to accomplish the feat in only three pitches.

With his 17th home run of the year and his second in as many days, Trout got things going. Thaiss hit his fourth home run of the year, while Drury connected on his 13th blast of the year.

All three home runs were smashed into the thin Colorado air; Thaiss’ exited the bat at 108.5 mph and travelled a projected 399 feet to the right, Drury’s exited the bat at 105 mph and went a projected 437 feet to left, and Trout’s exited the bat at 110.5 mph and went to centre field, according to Statcast.

The Angels used it as the catalyst for a 13-run inning, and Ward and Ohtani subsequently added RBI singles. With two outs, Trout came up once more, but this time he walked to allow Drury, who had three RBIs in the inning, to hit a two-run single. With two outs, Thaiss also walked to load the bases for Hunter Renfroe, who then outfielded them with a double.

After Mickey Moniak hit a two-run home run to give the Angels a 15-0 advantage, newcomer Eduardo Escobar added an RBI single.

The Angels tied a franchise record with four home runs in one inning on May 28, 2000, in Kansas City, when they also accomplished the feat.

The third inning saw the Angels build up 10 hits and three walks, and it was ended by David Fletcher’s grounded out.

Less than 24 hours after launching a coup, Russian Wagner mercenary troops are reportedly beginning to leave Rostov-on-Don.

The leader of the group earlier claimed to have ordered his men to return to Ukraine in order to stop the bloodshed.

According to Russian official media, Yevgeny Prigozhin will now relocate to adjacent Belarus and all charges against him and his army will be withdrawn.

It marks the conclusion of a crazy and remarkable day in Russia.

Alongside the Russian army’s formal counterpart in Ukraine, The Wagner Group has been operating as a private army of mercenaries.

As Prigozhin vocally criticised Russia’s military leadership in recent months, tension between them had been rising over how the war had been fought.

The situation reached a boiling point on Saturday morning when Wagner mercenaries infiltrated Rostov-on-Don in southern Russia after crossing the border from their field camps in Ukraine.

They apparently grabbed control of the local military command and seized military installations in Voronezh, another city farther north, heading towards Moscow, in developments that happened in an instant.

The Kremlin tightened security in numerous areas, including Moscow, where the mayor of the capital city had advised citizens to avoid travelling, as the fighters began to march on the capital.

Additionally, there were alerts that tens of thousands of highly trained Chechen soldiers were their route to Moscow to repel the Wagner army.

Vladimir Putin, the president, responded by pledging to punish those who “betrayed” Russia.

According to Russian TV station Rossiya 24, the deal to abruptly defuse the situation was reached on Saturday night after conversations between Prigozhin and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.

A few hours later, a video supposedly showing Wagner forces departing Rostov and their leader being driven away while his fans cheered and shook his hand appeared online.

Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, claimed the situation was “complete chaos” in response to the day’s events.

“The Kremlin official is obviously quite frightened, and he’s probably hiding somewhere without revealing himself. I’m certain he’s not still in Moscow,” he declared in a statement.

He is aware of his fears because he initiated the danger. He is the cause of all bad things, losses, and enmity.

After flight tracking revealed that two presidential jets had departed Moscow on Saturday, there were suggestions that Mr. Putin had left the city.

Dmitry Peskov, the president’s press secretary, claimed the president was still in the Kremlin.

The criminal case against Prigozhin and his men will be ended, Mr. Peskov stated, and the arrest warrant for him would be withdrawn.

The press secretary said Wagner mercenaries still have time to agree to a deal with the Russian Ministry of Defence.

The post newest information on the Titanic sub: what is known about the quest for the OceanGate submersible appeared first on .

]]>

The North Atlantic is the scene of a significant search and rescue operation after a submersible probing the Titanic wreck vanished on Sunday.

One hour and forty-five minutes into the dive, the research vessel Polar Prince lost touch with the Titan sub’s crew. As of Tuesday about 13:00 EST (18:00 BST), the US Coast Guard believed that the sub had 40 hours of emergency oxygen remaining.

Government authorities have joined the rescue effort, and tour operator OceanGate said it was looking into every possibility to send the crew back home safely.

How far along is the rescue operation?

The size of the US state of Connecticut, or about 7,600 square miles, had been searched so far, according to US Coast Guard captain Jamie Frederick on Tuesday afternoon.

At least one remote-controlled submersible is now contributing to the search effort, and additional vessels are anticipated to join later on Tuesday.

The search, according to Capt. Frederick, was a “very complex” and “unique operation” made more challenging by the location’s isolation.

A commercial pipe-laying ship has arrived to assist, according to expedition leader and marine scientist David Mearns, who has been monitoring the operation.

We’re just hoping that it has the potential to look for the submersible and be able to recover it at those kinds of depths, 3,800 metres, he said. “There is a chance that might happen.”

Titan sub includes heated walls and a toilet with a curtain.
On Sunday morning, the Polar Prince made his initial approach to the Titanic wreck, while the Titan was set to begin its dive at an early hour of 4:00 local time. One hour and 45 minutes into its descent, at around 09:45 local time, the Titan lost touch with Earth.

The Polar Prince lost touch with the submersible, and it took some time before the US Coast Guard was alerted.

Eight hours after the incident was reported, at around 17:45, the Coast Guard claimed to have learned of it. The agency’s Boston command centre then started coordinating search operations.

The Titan submersible is believed to be 400 miles (643 km) south of St. Johns, Newfoundland, and 900 miles (1450 km) east of that city.

Rear Admiral John Mauger of the US Coast Guard stated on Monday that there are two parts to the search: a surface search in case the Titan has returned to the surface of the ocean but lost contact in some way, and an underwater sonar search.

In addition to a Canadian C-130 and a P8 aircraft with underwater sonar capability, the Coast Guard has sent two C-130 Hercules aircraft to search for the submersible on the water’s surface. Additionally, sonar buoys are being set very nearby.

According to Mr. Mauger, the Coast Guard has asked the US Navy and the commercial sector for assistance and that extra knowledge would be required to save the ship if it were discovered underwater.

The Canadian Coast Guard vessel Kopit Hopson was assisting in the search, according to the Canadian Department of Defence, along with the aircraft.

Former US undersecretary of defence Mike Mulroy told the BBC that the only ships likely capable of connecting with the submarine and hauling it to the surface would be specialised US Navy remote submersibles.

A second vessel, the Horizon Arctic, has also been despatched to the location, according to Horizon Maritime, which also shares ownership of the Polar Prince.

Who was in the crew?

Four of the five persons aboard the Titan have so far been identified: explorer and businessman Hamish Harding, 58; Shahzada Dawood, 48; and Suleman Dawood, 19; as well as 77-year-old French explorer Paul-Henry Nargeolet.

Earlier this month, Mr. Harding revealed his decision to join the group and noted that the crew of the ship includes “a few legendary explorers, some of whom have done over 30 dives to the RMS Titanic since the 1980s.”

Action Aviation, a multinational firm situated in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, that works with sales and operations in the business aviation sector, is chaired by Mr. Harding.

A family spokesman told the BBC that Paul-Henry Nargeolet, a French explorer, was also on board. The “Mr Titanic” explorer is a former French navy diver who has apparently spent the most time at the Titanic debris of any explorer.

According to OceanGate, each mission lasts eight days, and each dive is intended to have a scientific goal, such as examining the wreck’s deterioration.

The company’s website states that the first dive happened in 2021.

First-ever full-sized scans show a wreck in a previously unseen state.

How could it have possibly ended up?

Prof. Alistair Greig, a submarine expert at University College London, told Science Correspondent Pallab Ghosh that he has explored a variety of possibilities for the whereabouts of the lost submersible.

One is that following an emergency, it discharged a “drop weight” to lift it to the surface.

He explained that if there had been a communication or power loss, the submersible might have experienced this and been bobbing around on the surface looking for help.

He adds that another possibility is that the hull was damaged, causing a leak. The prognosis is poor, then.

There are very few options if it descends to the seafloor and is unable to ascend again on its own, according to Prof. Greig.

“While the submersible may still be in tact, very few vessels, and most definitely not divers, can reach depths of more than 200 metres (656 feet). The Titanic’s depth can’t even come close to being reached by the navy submarine rescue vehicles.

About the Titan, what do we know?

The Titan is a five-person submersible that can go at three knots, or around 3.5 miles per hour, down to depths of 4,000 metres (2.5 miles).

In addition to transporting divers to the Titanic wreck, it is utilised for deep water testing of hardware and software, site assessment and inspection, research, and data collection.

The Titan is “equipped with cutting-edge lighting and sonar navigation systems as well as internally and externally mounted 4K video and photographic equipment,” the manufacturer claims.

The five-person sub features a system for real-time hull monitoring, according to OceanGate’s website.

In order to evaluate the structural integrity of the sub, it incorporates sensors that analyse the impact of changing pressure on the sub as it dives.

The company claims that this onboard health analysis monitoring technology gives the pilot early warning detection so that they have time to safely stop their dive and return to the surface.

Rescue crews from the United States and Canada were looking for a submersible transporting five people to the Titanic’s wreckage on Monday after it vanished in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and had just four days or less of fuel left.

The Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia, said that the missing vessel was reported overdue Sunday night about 435 miles south of St. John’s, Newfoundland. The U.S. Coast Guard in Boston is in charge of the search for the missing vessel.

A commercial ship and two planes from each of the United States and Canada are helping with the search, according to Rear Adm. John Mauger, commander of the First Coast Guard District, and more resources will be deployed as the pursuit goes into the night.

The work is complicated by the operation’s location, which is up to 13,000 feet deep and about 900 miles east of Cape Cod, as well as the requirement to search both above and below the surface of the ocean, he said.

At a news conference, Mauger stated, “It is difficult to conduct a search in that remote location, but we are deploying all available means to make sure that we can find the craft and rescue the persons on board.

Contact with five crew members was lost.

The 21-foot “Titan” submersible, which departed from St. John’s, started its dive Sunday morning, according to a tweet from the Coast Guard. About an hour and a half later, the Canadian ship Polar Prince that was assisting the boat lost communication with it.

A deep-sea exploration business based in Washington, OceanGate Expeditions, stated in a statement that it was the owner of the submersible, a submarine family member that is smaller and less self-sufficient than the traditional military sub.

The company sends marine scientists and archaeologists on its voyages to the Titanic wreck site. As well as free travellers, OceanGate also sends “mission specialists.”

The five people in the submersible alternate between using the sonar equipment and conducting other chores. There were four “mission specialists” and one pilot, according to the Coast Guard’s report on Monday.

According to OceanGate, “we are extremely grateful for the significant support we have received from a number of governmental organisations and deep sea businesses in our efforts to reestablish contact with the submersible.” “We are working to ensure the crew members’ safe return.”

According to Mauger, the submersible has a 96-hour emergency sustainment capacity, which would include oxygen and fuel, based on information provided by the manufacturer. So, he continued, “We anticipate that there will be somewhere between 70 and the entire 96 hours available at this point.”

British traveller aboard

The Associated Press was informed by OceanGate adviser David Concannon that the corporation had lost contact with the submersible early on Sunday.

Officials are hurrying to send a remotely operated vehicle to the scene that can dive to a depth of 20,000 feet, according to Concannon, who claimed he had planned to go on the dive but had to postpone it due to an issue involving another customer. It is thought that the Titanic wreck is 12,500 feet below the surface.

British businessman Hamish Harding, the chairman of Action Aviation, was listed as a passenger. Last June, the seasoned traveller launched into space aboard a New Shepard rocket from Blue Origin.

On January 20, 2023 in Beverly Hills, California, Hamish Harding attends the Living Legends Of Aviation Awards ceremony at The Beverly Hilton.

According to the company’s managing director, Mark Butler, “every effort is being made for a rescue mission.” It’s still possible to organise a rescue operation. Equipment for survival in this situation is on board. We’re all wishing and praying that he returns unscathed.

A week ago, Harding was seen by Richard Garriott, head of the Explorers Club, a New York-based organisation that promotes scientific exploration, and “his excitement was palpable.”

“I know he was looking forward to conducting research at the site,” Garriott stated in a letter to the members. We all share the passionate wish that the crew is safe and the submersible is found as soon as possible.

As he observes his first Father’s Day, John Mulaney is ecstatic.

The comedian shared how “lucky” he felt to be a parent on Instagram on Sunday. He and actress Olivia Munn have a boy named Malcolm Hip Mulaney.

Two pictures of the family unwinding by the sea were posted on Instagram with the remark, “You made me a dad, Olivia,” by Mulaney. “I will always love you for doing that.”

On Christmas Eve in 2021, the couple welcomed Baby Mulaney.

Mulaney shared a video of his child wishing him a “Happy Father’s Day” as Munn helped him sound it out in another Instagram post. He wrote as his caption, “Goddamn I’m a lucky guy.”

“These two fall more in love with each other every day for the past 18 months,” Munn said in a comment on Mulaney’s post. I’m lucky to have you as my son’s father.
