Live streaming, teams, owners, and the complete schedule for the Indian Street Premier League (ISPL T10)!

Indian Street Premier League (ISPL 2024)

The Gully Cricket Tournament, also known as the Celebrity Premier League, officially began play yesterday, according to online rumors! T10 cricket is a new format that is being played in stadiums, having been around for about 20 years after T20 cricket. The Indian Street Premier League (ISPL) is the inaugural T10 tennis ball competition.

Six clubs from major Indian cities—Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, and Srinagar—are participating in the Indian Super League (IPL). From March 6 to March 15, 2024, these teams will play 19 games, all of which will be held in Mumbai.

In contrast to traditional cricket, the Indian Super League (IPL) seeks to transform the game by giving street cricket talent a global platform. It aims to develop the next generation of cricket players and infuse city cricket with a fresh degree of structure.

Essentially, the Indian Super League (IPL) is a tennis-ball cricket add-on that seeks to highlight street cricket players’ unbridled talent and enthusiasm on a large scale.

ISPL T10 Rules & Regulations

The ISPL, cricket’s latest addition, has brought several innovative concepts to the table. Let’s discuss about them little bit:

  • Tip Toss: The tournament has given a unique name to the toss, inspired by street cricket. For those familiar with street cricket rules, this is self-explanatory.
  • Powerplay Rules: Similar to limited-overs’ games, the first few overs are mandatory powerplays. In the ISPL, the mandatory powerplay consists of two overs, with one over designated as the batting powerplay. During the mandatory powerplay, only two fielders are allowed outside the 30-yard circle. For the batting powerplay, three fielders are permitted outside the circle. The batting powerplay of one over must be taken between overs 3-9.
  • Super Over: In the event of a tie, a Super Over, similar to a T20 match, will be played to determine the winner. This process continues until there is a clear winner.
  • 9 Street Runs: A unique concept introduced in this tournament awards nine runs to the batting team if the ball goes over the fence and lands among the audience, instead of the regular six in cricket.
  • 50-50 Over: Each team’s captain must select five bowlers from the playing XI who can bowl this over during an innings. In a 50-50 over, one team sets a score, and the other team must chase it down. Failure to do so results in a deduction from the final score. This was demonstrated in an exhibition match between Masters XI and Khiladi XI, where Masters XI failed to chase down a target of 16 runs, resulting in a seven-run deduction.
  • Tape Ball Over: While the entire match is played with a tennis ball, one or a maximum of two overs out of the 10 must be bowled with a tape ball. A tape ball is a tennis ball covered with tape, producing the same amount of swing in the air as a normal cricket ball. However, a tape-ball over cannot be used for a 50-50 over.
  • Fielding Restrictions: A maximum of five fielders are allowed outside the circle during the non-powerplay overs. Each team cannot have more than five fielders on the leg side and two behind the popping crease when a ball is being bowled.
  • Playing XI and Substitutions: Each team can select two substitutes during a match. An injured player can be replaced by an unsold player from the same zone. Every team in the inaugural ISPL can have a maximum of 16 players, with the playing XI including one player from each of the North, South, East, West, and Central zones. Additionally, a player under 19 years of age must also be included in the XI.

India vs England Live Score 5th Test Day 1, IND vs ENG: Kuldeep Yadav takes 3rd wicket, Zak Crawley misses out on ton!

India vs England Live Score 5th Test Day 1, IND vs ENG: India have kept the pressure up and Kuldeep got his third wicket of the day with an unplayable delivery.

India vs England Live Score

India vs England Live Score 5th Test Day 1, IND vs ENG: India have been relentless with their pressure but England have managed to wring out the runs in what has been a neck and neck contest in the first two sessions of Day 1 of the fifth Test in Dharamsala. Kuldeep Yadav has been the player who has reaped the dividents, taking all three of England’s wickets.

India got a boost late in the first session with Kuldeep Yadav sending back Ollie Pope and England finished 100/2 at Lunch on Day 1 of the fifth Test against India in Dharamsala. England were lucky to have not lost a wicket in the first hour of the day India’s pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah milking everything that the pitch and conditions had to offer. However, India finally got a reward for their efforts with Kuldeep getting the wicket of Ben Duckett thanks in part to a brilliant catch by Shubman Gill. Crawley carried on and scored yet another half-century. He was batting on 61 off 71 balls when Pope fell and the umpires called for Lunch.

The visitors had won the toss and chosen to bat. Devdutt Padikkal is making his Test debut in place of Rajat Patidar, who captain Rohit Sharma said picked up an injury. Ravichandran Ashwin, who himself is set to play his 100th Test, handed Padikkal his debut cap. Ashwin was later handed his 100th Test cap in a special ceremony by head coach Rahul Dravid.

When was the last time a Test series saw such a long gap between two games? Can’t recall? Well, neither can we. It’s almost as if the thoughts of a fifth and final Test between India and England had almost vanished. Since India’s five-wicket win in Ranchi, so much has happened. Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan’s central contracts were terminated by the BCCI, Shardul Thakur scored his 2nd First-Class century to help Mumbai reach a record 48th Ranji Trophy final, Neil Wagner played his farewell Test for New Zealand and the Women’s Premier League got done with its Bengaluru leg.

After a 10-day gap, the two teams are back to play the final Test of this exciting five-match series in one of the coldest parts of the country – the HPCA Stadium on Dharamsala, where the conditions won’t be easy by any stretch of the imagination. Intense cold has gripped Dharamsala, so much so that even beanies, hoodies and pullovers may not be enough for the players to grapple the chill. The minimum temperature is around 1 degree and the max won’t go beyond 7 or 8 across the next 5 days.

Back to cricket. The Test holds significance for two players in particular. India’s Ravichandran Ashwin and England’s Jonny Bairstow, both of whom are set to play their 100th Test for the country. In a pretty coincidental trivia, both Ashwin and Bairstow had made their debuts against West Indies. India may not want to rest easy despite the series being won as a 4-1 finish can do their chances in the World Test Championships points table a world of good. India, currently leading the WTC table can solidify their position even further at the top.

England have made one change to their Playing XI, replacing Ollie Robinson with Mark Wood, with the two spinners Shoaib Bashir and Tom Hartley retaining their places. India have maintained the mystery surrounding their Playing XI as always. Will they play three seamers, or two? Will Rajat Patidar be persisted with, or will Devdutt Padikkal become the fifth India to make a debut this series?

The Dharamsala pitch looks to be a belter of a wicket as per Stokes but when it’s nippy, and the bowling attack is a fearsome as these two teams, no amount of flat decks can make batting look easy. However, India would be smacking their lips at the idea of batting first, purely because their batters have had a ball, with young Yashasvi Jaiswal leading the way. In fact, with 655 runs, Jaiswal is just one run away from matching Virat Kohli’s record for the most runs in a bilateral series comprising three Tests or more. And of course, Kohli’s 692 runs are in danger as well, just like Sunil Gavaskar’s 774.

Unfortunately enough, KL Rahul has been ruled out, which is a mystery again in itself given he was 90 percent fit ahead of the start of the third Test. He flew to London for a medial consultation and has returned to the NCA to get fit in time for the IPL, which starts in a little over two weeks. Having said that, do India really need him given how their youngsters have stepped up? Dhruv Jurel, Sarfaraz Khan, Akash Deep have been phenomenal which makes this series a lot like the BGT 2020/21.

As for the bowling, look no further than the return of Jasprit Bumrah. The India pacer, given a break for the Ranchi Test is back, and with overcast conditions awaiting, would be eager to send those crackers in to the England batters early. Partnering him could be Mohammed Siraj, or Akash if the management feels three pacers is the way to go about it. Ideally in Dharamsala, that should be the case, but as the surface spins and deteriorates, the idea of three spinners isn’t that bad either, especially if England bat last. Well, irrespective of that, milestone man Ashwin remains a threat. What an achievement it has been. Even though it hasn’t come sooner like it should have, the entire nation will feel a sense of pride when he walks out for the national anthem. Go well Ash, India is proud of you.

Here are some highlights around IND vs ENG 5th Test, Day 1:

– Devdutt Padikkal is making his Test debut

– Ravichandran Ashwin was handed his 100th Test cap by Rahul Dravid in a special ceremony before the start of play

– Jonny Bairstow was handed his 100th Test cap by Joe Root

– England have won the toss and chosen to bat first

– India have an unassailable 3-1 lead in the series

– India have not lost two matches in a Test series at home since 2012/13

– Ashwin is the 14th Indian to play 100 Test matches

– Bairstow is set to become the 17th England player to earn 100 Test caps

– James Anderson is two away from 700 Test wickets

Meet IFS officer, who left high-paying job to crack UPSC exam, took 3-year gap, now posted in…

IFS officer: Her first attempt in 2013 ended in disappointment, followed by another failed attempt in 2016, despite reaching the interview stage

Indian Foreign Service (IFS) officer Pujya Priyadarshini faced numerous setbacks in her pursuit of success in the UPSC exams. Despite failing thrice and contemplating quitting, the unwavering support of her family encouraged her to give it another try. Her journey embodies the adage that every success story is also a tale of great adversity.

Initially, Priyadarshini’s dreams of becoming an IAS officer seemed out of reach as she struggled through failures. After completing her B.Com in Delhi, she pursued a post-graduation in Public Administration from Columbia University in New York. During this time, she juggled her studies with work commitments, all the while preparing diligently for the UPSC exams.

Her first attempt in 2013 ended in disappointment, followed by another failed attempt in 2016, despite reaching the interview stage. Undeterred by these setbacks, she resolved to persevere. However, 2017 brought further disappointment when she narrowly missed success in the preliminary examination, leading her to consider giving up on her UPSC aspirations altogether.

Yet, it was the unwavering support and encouragement from her family that reignited her determination. Bolstered by their belief in her abilities, Priyadarshini summoned the courage to make one final attempt.

Her persistence paid off when she secured an impressive All India Rank 11 in the 2018 UPSC exam, finally realizing her dream of becoming an IAS officer.

Reflecting on her journey, Priyadarshini offers valuable advice to fellow aspirants. She emphasizes the importance of hard work, patience, and resilience in the face of failure. Her message is clear: setbacks are not roadblocks but growth opportunities. With dedication and perseverance, success in the UPSC exams is attainable for anyone willing to put in the effort.

Isha Ambani, Shloka Mehta, Nita Ambani, Akash Ambani and other members of the family got special attention from fashion enthusiasts due to their super-expensive dresses.

Isha Ambani is daughter of India’s richest man Mukesh Ambani who has a net worth of more than Rs 975819 crore. The whole Ambani family was all over the news in the past week as India’s richest family hosted a massive pre-wedding bash for Anant Ambani, the youngest son of billionaire Mukesh Ambani. Isha Ambani, Shloka Mehta, Nita Ambani, Akash Ambani and other members of the family got special attention from fashion enthusiasts due to their super-expensive dresses. However, a special bejeweled blouse of Isha Ambani is now doing rounds on social media platforms. In a video shared by designer Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla, it is revealed how the exclusive masterpiece was made for Isha Ambani. The daughter of India’s richest man wore the blouse on her brother Anant Ambani’s pre-wedding event in Jamnagar.

As revealed by the brand, some of the pieces belong to her personal collection and new jewels were also sourced from Gujarat and Rajasthan especially to be stitched on to the garment. The precious ornaments were dismantled and reinvented into couture where each jewel was first placed on hand-drawn paper patterns. After rounds of artistic experimentation, different stitches of gold and silver Zardozi work were infused with the jewellery pieces to create the wearable work of art. The piece was reminiscent of Abu Sandeep’s collection of bejewelled blouses that were featured in their 2012 book, ‘India Fantastique’. You can watch the video below.

Tesla Germany halts work as Elon Musk calls suspected arson ‘extremely dumb’

Tesla’s European Gigafactory near Berlin has halted work until further notice after what CEO Elon Musk called an “extremely dumb” suspected arson attack nearby left it without power.

Tesla

In Short

  • Power outage due to suspected arson nearby Tesla’s Berlin factory halts work at the gigafactory
  • The outage will cost Tesla estimated losses in the high hundreds of millions of euros, with 1,000 vehicles left unfinished on Tuesday alone
  • Emergency services have extinguished the blaze, and power to the surrounding communities has mostly been restored.

Tesla’s European Gigafactory near Berlin has halted work until further notice after what CEO Elon Musk called an “extremely dumb” suspected arson attack nearby left it without power on Tuesday.

The attack southeast of the German capital set an electricity pylon close to the site ablaze, but the fire did not spread to the Tesla facility – the US electric vehicle maker’s first manufacturing plant in Europe.

It has, however, shuttered production at least until early next week, the company said.

The outage will cost Tesla estimated losses in the high hundreds of millions of euros, with 1,000 vehicles left unfinished on Tuesday alone.

A company official was noncommittal on whether this would affect plans to double capacity at the site, but condemned what he saw as negative sentiment towards it.

Emergency services have extinguished the blaze, and power to the surrounding communities has mostly been restored.

Joerg Steinbach, the economy minister of Brandenburg, the German state where Tesla’s plant is based, condemned the suspected attack as having “terrorist markings”, and hitting tens of thousands of people.

“This includes hospitals, homes for the elderly, where people may also be dependent on oxygen supply or similar, which is electricity-based,” he said at a briefing outside the factory.

The Tesla site, which employs around 12,500 people, was evacuated and most employees sent home. Tesla shares were down 3% at 1522 GMT.

Local media published a letter purportedly from a far-left activist organisation called the Volcano Group that claimed responsibility for the incident, in a 2,500-word attack on Tesla and its billionaire CEO Musk.

Police said they were aware of the letter, which was signed “Agua De Pau”, the name of a volcanic mountain in the Azores, and said they were checking its authenticity.

“These are either the dumbest eco-terrorists on Earth or they’re puppets of those who don’t have good environmental goals,” Musk said on X.

“Stopping production of electric vehicles, rather than fossil fuel vehicles, ist extrem dumm,” he said, using the German for “extremely dumb”.

The attack was the latest setback for Tesla, which has had a bumpy ride in Europe of late, facing union pressure for collective bargaining agreements in the Nordics and supply disruptions as a result of attacks on shipping in the Red Sea.

Germany has championed new big-ticket foreign investments at a time when Europe’s largest economy is facing recession and grappling with higher inflation and weaker foreign demand.


“If a left-wing extremist motive is confirmed, then this is further evidence that the left-wing extremist scene does not shy away from attacks on critical energy infrastructure,” Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said.

“The consequences can affect thousands of completely uninvolved people, as they do today. This shows enormous criminal energy.”

‘WE SABOTAGED TESLA’

Police are investigating the possible arson attack in the area around the plant, which has been the focus of environmental protests since it was launched by Musk two years ago.

“We are shocked by what happened today. It’s the second direct attack on power supply to the factory and there was a third attack on the railway nearby. We are very concerned,” said plant head Andre Thierig.

He said the factory had managed to safely conduct an emergency shutdown, involving decanting molten aluminium from its smelters before it solidified.

Brandenburg state has documented previous arson attacks by far-left activists, including at a Tesla power supply site at Gruenheide in May 2021.

“We sabotaged Tesla,” read the letter about Tuesday’s incident, posted on website kontrapolis.info, describing the attack as a gift marking International Women’s Day on March 8.

“Tesla consumes earth, resources, people, workers, and in return spits out 6,000 SUVs, killer cars and monster trucks each week.”

Tesla’s ambitions to expand its plant, which has a capacity to produce around 500,000 cars a year, hit a roadblock when local residents voted down a motion to fell trees to enlarge it.

The U.S. EV maker wants to double the site’s capacity to 100 gigawatt hours of battery production and 1 million cars per year, setting it up to dominate the European market.

The plant’s output ramp-up has slowed, though the carmaker produced 6,000 cars in a week for the first time in January.

Steinbach said his government would reassess the current situation with regards to climate activists occupying the forest near the Tesla plant.

The initiative, named “Tesla Stoppen”, had struck a deal with the local government which assured them they would able to stay in the forest until mid-March on condition that they did not make fires or leave behind garbage, German media reported.

Between 80 and 100 people were currently taking part in the action, a spokesperson for the protesters said, adding that they planned to stay there for several weeks.
