If you didn’t get the desired results from your players or got the whole team combination wrong, it’s not too much of an issue because the first few games are the ones where we don’t know who is going to play in what position. Now that we do know, it’s very important to get the best possible XI for Round 2 as we will be able to make unlimited trades ahead of this round....

Gautam Gambhir has won the highest number of Player of the Match awards in matches between these two teams - 3. He won two of them while playing for KKR and one while for playing for DC....
The new Apple iPod nano looks like an Apple iPod shuffle with a touchscreen slapped on. It has a square body that has a clip on the back. It is hard to fault the new nano’s looks: anodised aluminium covers the majority of the device, and the iPod is available in seven bright colours. It is just 37.5mm tall and weighs a mere 21.1g. There are two aluminium buttons on the top left of the nano that control volume, as well as a sleep/wake button on the right hand side....
LCD vs OLED: which is better? First up, the short answer. It depends on your priorities. Do you want to spend as little as possible on a phone or is money no object? Do you want the brightest screen or must you have one that can display HDR10 video? Are you worried about burn-in or do you plan to keep your phone for only a year or two? The pros and cons of each technology – which we explain below – apply only in general, but not necessarily to specific phones, TVs or other devices....
In the match held in Tehran’s Azadi Stadium on Wednesday, Iranian midfielder Javad Nekounam scored three goals and striker Reza Ghoochannejhad scored the other two goals, Xinhua reports. In another Group B game, Kuwait defeated Thailand 3-1 in Bangkok. Twenty teams are contesting for 11 spots, with the top two teams from each group and the best third-placed team among all five groups advancing. The contests for the last round of the Asian Cup will be held in January 2015, with Sydney, Melbourne, Queensland, and Canberra to host the matches....
This weekend, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed Iran for last week’s explosion aboard an Israeli-owned ship in the Gulf of Oman. His accusation came just after Syria reported an Israeli missile attack launched from the annexed Golan Heights at targets around the capital Damascus on Sunday night. The incidents follow tit-for-tat actions by Iran-backed Iraqi militia groups and U.S. forces in the region over the past month, which threatened to hamstring the multilateral efforts to revive the JCPOA....
The likely victor of that speculation is a conservative, but even this shift to the right may not be enough to turn the tide against the nuclear talks currently being pursued by the United States and Iran. Iran’s Fars News Agency first reported Friday the names of the seven candidates out of nearly 600 who were approved to run next month by the 12-member Guardian Council. The right-wing-dominated list included former nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalil, Chief Justice Ebrahim Raisi, Expediency Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaee, legislator Alireza Zakani, Deputy Parliament Speaker Amir-Hossein Ghazizadeh Hashemi, former Vice President Mohsen Mehralizadeh and Central Bank Governor Abdolnaser Hemmati....
Khamenei told worshippers at Tehran’s Mosalla mosque that the regime would learn from the experiences of the past month. His address came as the government grappled with fresh protests linked to the shooting down of Ukraine Airlines International flight PS752, in which 176 people were killed. Khamenei said the past two weeks were “not ordinary days,” according to the Tehran Times. He added, “Bitter adventures, sweet adventures and incidents that taught lessons happened to the Iranian nation....
The Treasury Department announced Monday that it was placing sanctions on Mohammed Baseri and Ahmad Khazai, two individuals said to be Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Security operatives involved in Robert Levinson’s abduction, detention and likely death, sometime after he left his Kish Island hotel in 2007. “The abduction of Mr. Levinson in Iran is an outrageous example of the Iranian regime’s willingness to commit unjust acts,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in an accompanying press release....
News and footage of the encounter emerged on social media and semi-official Iranian news outlets Thursday, showing what appeared to be fighter jets flying near Mahan Air Flight IRM1153, an Airbus A310-304 headed to the Lebanese capital of Beirut from Tehran. Scenes of chaos onboard the airliner erupted as passengers, while the aircraft appeared to rapidly lose altitude, eliciting shouts and screams and causing at least one injury as a man could be seen with blood on his head....
We’re utterly surprised," a senior U.N. diplomat told me. “We thought that after the war, the United States would try to dump Iraq on the world’s lap and the rest of the world would object, saying, ‘This is your mess, you clean it up.’ The opposite is happening. The rest of the world is saying, ‘We’re willing to help,’ but Washington is determined to run Iraq itself.” And what are we getting for this privilege?...
Even ardent pro-life activists might consider a 14-year-old rape victim an exceptional case. But in Ireland, rape victims are not exempt from a nine-year-old constitutional ban on abortions. More than 4,000 women a year still risk legal action by taking weekend abortion trips to England, but this case marks the first time anyone has been caught, much less prevented in advance from terminating a pregnancy. Two out of three voters supported the constitutional amendment back in 1983, but the latest controversy threatens to reopen an intensely bitter debate....
They payment was not a fourth stimulus check, but rather a refund for taxpayers who overpaid taxes on unemployment compensation in 2020. Millions of tax returns had to be adjusted after the American Rescue Plan Act, which became law in March, excluded up to $10,200 in 2020 unemployment compensation from taxable income. As a result, those who filed their taxes before the law took effect are owed refunds. The exclusion applied to individuals and married couples whose modified adjusted gross income was less than $150,000, the IRS said....
Irving weaved his way to the basket to hit a game-winning lay-up, lifting the Celtics to a 114-112 victory in the NBA on Friday. He finished with a game-high 30 points, five assists and three steals. Irving was trailed by Al Horford, who scored 19 points. The win could prove very important in terms of postseason seeding. Both Boston and Indiana are 45-31, but the win gives the Celtics fourth place in the Eastern Conference via their 2-1 advantage in their regular-season series with the Pacers – the first tie-breaker....
At a glance, the Vive headset sounds like a promising addition to the VR space, and its use of base stations for interactive movement has us very intrigued. More than that, though, we want to know how Valve plans to support the tech with software. So far, the only game on the Vive’s roster is Job Simulator, an interactive experience that lets players trade real work for virtual work. However, Job Simulator is more a proof of concept than it is an actual game; it’s a showcase for Valve and HTC’s new tech....
As Los Angeles heads north, all eyes are on Anthony Davis, who was recently named player of the week for his jaw-dropping efforts in recent games. Last Friday, Davis finished with 44 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Lakers past the Bucks only to outdo himself with 55 points and 17 rebounds in a win over the Wizards on Sunday. This season, Davis is averaging a team-high 27.3 points and 12....
Close on the heels of his decision to give up India’s T20 international captaincy after the 2021 T20 World Cup, the announcement confirms Kohli’s transition to the next stage of his cricketing career, one where he focuses primarily on his batting. While the decision to step down from national leadership was met with a mix of surprise and appreciation, given Kohli’s strong record, he does have a poor record with RCB....
Punjab Kings have retained only two players - Mayank Agarwal (14 crores) and Arshdeep Singh (4 crores). Former captain KL Rahul parted ways with the franchise after being their star Indian player for four years.

Let’s take a look at the batters who can open the batting for Punjab alongside Mayank Agarwal....
