Be it Brendon McCullum, who kick-started the IPL with a blistering knock in the inaugural match in 2008, or Chris Gayle, who has entertained the crowds for years with his big-hitting, openers have garnered a lot of attention. Even Virat Kohli, who normally bats in the middle-order for the national side, opens the innings for RCB in the IPL. Teams have always put a lot of emphasis on having strong openers in their squad....
The top half of the table has had to face recent losses while the bottom half has managed to notch up wins. At this stage, all teams have a chance to make the playoffs, but, the ‘Net Run Rate’ is going to be a huge factor towards the end of the tournament. We would be in for a treat with teams not only looking to win games but planning to work with their statisticians to ensure they reach the playoffs....

Jindal told the Indian Express, “We wanted this name to mean something to each and everyone from Delhi. Our supporting staff has a knack of picking raw talent and moulding them. Sandeep Lamichhane is a fine example of that. This season we have Kaif too who has been a natural talent scout too in this country. Shikhar Dhawan is a proven performer in IPL and he adds the perfect experience to the motivated young core of ours....
“These preposterous, false accusations are nothing new, and only reinforce the fact that the Trump administration is desperately continuing their failed policy of Iran-bashing,” Iranian permanent mission to the United Nations spokesperson Alireza Miryousefi told Newsweek shortly after Pompeo’s speech Tuesday. Pompeo dedicated his remarks, delivered before the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., to establishing alleged links between Al-Qaeda and Iran, even referring to the latter as “the new Afghanistan” in terms of geographical centrality to the militant group whose involvement in the 9/11 attacks led to the U....
Xiyue Wang, a fourth-year Princeton University doctoral student of late 19th and early 20th-century Eurasian history, was released by Iran as part of a prisoner swap for Iranian scientist Masoud Soleimani. Wang, 38, was first arrested in August 2016 and charged with espionage before being sentenced to 10 years in Iranian prison. U.S. officials have repeatedly denied the Princeton graduate student had any intelligence ties and said he was arrested on “fabricated national-security related charges....
The Iranian parliament last month approved a new bill instructing the country’s atomic energy body to increase its uranium enrichment program and block international inspectors from its nuclear sites, both prohibited under the 2015 JCPOA which has been in limbo since President Donald Trump withdrew the U.S. in 2018. The bill was a response to the assassination of top Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, killed on a country road outside Tehran last month....
On his website, Khamenei has been lecturing on racism in the U.S. at least as far back as 2011. With pages devoted to such problems as sex trafficking and the American prison system, and others asserting that neither Lincoln nor the nation ever abolished slavery, Khamenei’s website is a clearinghouse of anti-American agitprop. One lesson claims that “‘Uncle Tom’ is still alive in the American society.” But the Khamenei.ir website never reached a very large audience (and, in general, it’s probably wise to avoid sites ending in ....
The TED talk was filmed at the Amirkabir University in Tehran earlier this month. Titled, “Four mistakes in our negotiations we need to be aware of,” the talk drew on Zarif’s wide experience in international negotiations to offer viewers advice on their own interpersonal interactions. The video description lauds Zarif’s “four decades of being a diplomat with countless negotiations,” and promises “his long-earned wisdom about four big mistakes we make in our communications, from small day-to-day talks to negotiation on big global issues....
But also, the films have not been very good. I think some have gotten mixed reviews, some have gotten awful reviews, and I think that’s definitely playing a part too… …A lot of the critics of the more recent films have said that the films are full of speeches, and it’s very obvious what the political angle is. And I think an artist, maybe if he or she had some time to reflect on the material, may give a more nuanced balanced performance....
Kadhimi met Wednesday with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg in Brussels, expressing frustration over the recent attacks. He urged the coalition not to use Iraq to take on neighboring Syria and Iran. The Pentagon said U.S. forces conducted airstrikes Sunday along both sides of the Iraqi-Syrian border that they said were targeted “against facilities used by Iran-backed militia groups” allegedly used to launch “unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) attacks against U.S. personnel and facilities in Iraq....
Iraq are slated to be the hosts but the game will be played in neutral Doha. They come into the game on the back of a 2-2 draw away to the United Arab Emirates in a qualifier last month.

Reality Steve revealed news of the breakup on July 2, after previously claiming Brown had ended her engagement to Wyatt when his ex-girlfriend publically claimed he’d been in a relationship with her up until the day he left to film The Bachelorette. Brown seemingly learned this information along with the rest of America. Wyatt had told Brown he’d come on the show to further his music career, but later expressed he was truly falling for her....
Heringer will open up to James on Monday night’s Bachelor episode, specifically about her hearing disability. In the deep conversation, Heringer told James she wants to be a mom, but can’t promise her children won’t be born deaf, like herself and her sister. “I’m also going to be as open with you, obviously, through this process,” Heringer told James in an exclusive clip published by Entertainment Tonight. “You want a wife and you want a family, and you know I want those things too....
It’s easy to see why agave nectar appears to be a smart alternative to table sugar, as it’s lower on the glycemic index (GI)—one indication of how a given carbohydrate is likely to affect the levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood. However, this assessment isn’t as cut-and-dried as it may seem. If you have diabetes, you’ll want to understand how agave sugar really stacks up to sugar before working it into your diet or that of someone with the disease you care for....
However, RCB still haven’t assembled arguably the best possible squad on paper. While their bowling looks strong, there are obvious weaknesses in the batting department. They remain heavily reliant on du Plessis, Kohli, Maxwell and Dinesh Karthik to come good with the bat in their best phases of the innings respectively. Let’s take a look at three players that they might regret not bidding for. #3 Yash Dhull Yash Dhull joined the elite club of Indian captains to have won the Under-19 World Cup earlier this month....
