Tagore’s contribution to the field of art and literature is unparalleled. He achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first non-European to receive the Nobel Prize for his poetry collection, “Geetanjali”.

Apart from being a poet and writer, he was an influential artist and musician. He composed over 2,230 songs and painted more than 3,000 paintings. He penned national anthems of India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. He founded Viswa Bharti University which is known as Shantiniketan.

DC vs RR IPL 2024: Rishabh Pant and Samson in the Delhi Capitals’ matchup with the powerful Rajasthan Royals.

DC vs RR began the season on the wrong foot, losing four of its first five games. But the Rishabh Pant-led side soon clicked into gear, winning four of its next matches to put itself in contention for a playoff spot.

Delhi Capitals’ (DC) stop-start IPL 2024 campaign enters its final lap as it takes on the formidable Rajasthan Royals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here on Tuesday.

DC began the season on the wrong foot, losing four of its first five games. But the Rishabh Pant-led side soon clicked into gear, winning four of its next matches to put itself in contention for a playoff spot.

But a heavy defeat against Kolkata Knights Riders in its last game has put DC back on its haunches, with its top-four chances now hinging on other results.

For Royals, the plot has been far more buoyant. Sanju Samson’s men have been on a roll, sitting second in the table with eight wins out of ten matches. A win against DC will help it get back on top of the standings, displacing Kolkata Knight Riders.

The mood in the Royals camp continues to be upbeat despite a nerve-wracking last-ball defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last game.

Royals’ success this season has been built around their well-rounded batting unit. They currently boast four players – Riyan Parag, Samson, Yashavi Jaiswal, and Jos Buttler – with a 300+ run tally this season – more than any other team in the league.

Besides these four, the Royals also have the West Indian lower-order big-hitting duo of Shimron Hetmyer and Rovman Powell and the up-and-coming Dhruv Jurel.

Royals’ batting brawn will fit well with the conditions at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, which has seen runs flow faster than any other venue in this IPL (11.85 runs per over – RPO).

DC too has some firepower in its rank, with the prominent ammunition being its young Aussie opener Jake Fraser-McGurk.

In the last two years, among batters to have scored at least 500 T20 runs, no one has a better strike rate than Fraser-McGurk (180.21). The 22-year-old has now set the IPL alight with his loose-limbed free-hitting, scoring 259 runs at a scarcely believable strike rate of 233.33.

On the bowling front too, the Royals have an advantage over the home side. While DC bowlers have leaked 10.24 RPO this season, Samson’s men have gone a shade under nine (8.99 RPO).

A major subplot to watch out for on Tuesday would be the matchup between Pant and Samson. While both keeper-batters cut India’s T20 World Cup squad, there is still no clarity regarding who will get the final nod in playing 11. A strong finish to the IPL season could just make the case for either of the two.

When these two sides met earlier in the season, in Jaipur, Rajasthan Royals squeezed out a nervy 12-run win. A similar result on Tuesday could all but ring the death knell for DC’s IPL campaign.

The Third Space Mission of Sunita Williams was Canceled.

Sunita Williams, 58, and Barry Wilmore, 60, were strapped into their seats for an hour before the Boeing Starliner spacecraft was forced to abort its launch. The Starliner spaceship launch by Boeing has been postponed for a minimum of twenty-four hours due to an issue with the Atlas V rocket.

Due to a technical problem, Boeing’s much-anticipated first crewed test flight of the Starliner space capsule was canceled on Tuesday. A live NASA webcast revealed the postponement, which was ascribed to a problem with a valve in the rocket’s second stage.

At 8.04 am India time, the Boeing Starliner was scheduled to take off from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

“NASA, Boeing, and United Launch Alliance scrubbed the launch opportunity on Monday, May 6 for the agency’s Boeing Crew Flight Test to the International Space Station due to a faulty oxygen relief valve observation on the United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket Centaur second stage,” the space agency said in a statement.

The two-member crew – NASA astronauts Barry Wilmore, 61, and Sunita Williams, 58 – were strapped into their seats aboard the spacecraft about an hour before launch activities were suspended.

They will be assisted out of the capsule by technicians to await a second launch attempt.

The duo were to launch atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, with liftoff scheduled for 8.04 am IST on Tuesday.

Williams, who has been waiting in line for a commercial crew flight for nearly a decade, was initially assigned to the program in 2015 due to her extensive experience in spacecraft development. She was later assigned to the CFT mission in 2022.

The next available launch window for the mission is Tuesday night, but no decision was immediately made for when a second liftoff attempt would be made.

During the approximately 10-day mission, Wilmore and Williams will thoroughly test the Starliner’s systems and capabilities, paving the way for the spacecraft to begin operational crew flights to the space station.

The successful completion of this Crew Flight Test will bring the Starliner one step closer to regularly delivering personnel to and from the ISS, further solidifying the United States’ independent access to space.

The beating of Manchester United by Crystal Palace is the fault of Erik ten Hag.

Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, has accepted responsibility for his team’s 4-0 drubbing at the hands of 14th-place Crystal Palace. United stayed well out of the Champions League positions, sitting in eighth place in the Premier League points standings.

  • Manchester United lose to Crystal Palace 4-0.
  • Erik ten Hag takes the blame for the loss.
  • Manchester United are in the 8th position in the Premier League.

Who Is Alamgir Alam, Jharkhand Minister Linked To Huge Recoveries In Raids?

Manchester United’s woes this season were laid bare again in their 4-0 Premier League hammering by Crystal Palace on Monday, but manager Erik Ten Hag believes he is the right man to fix a team that is limping to the end of the campaign.

United had several injury issues ahead of the game and were forced to play midfielder Casemiro at center-back, where he was exposed on some occasions as Palace’s mobile front three pulled their visitors apart.

It leaves United in eighth with three league games remaining and facing several unwanted records.

They currently have a club-record number of losses (13) in a Premier League season and have already faced their most shots (618) in a single campaign.

If they let in three more goals this term they will set a new mark for their most conceded in a campaign.

“I will keep fighting, I have prepared the team in the best way I can,” Ten Hag told SkySports. “It (the performance) was not good enough and I have to take responsibility for that.

“But I will find the energy and prepare them for the next game. We have nine points to play for and we have to fight for those.”

The manager refused to lay the blame on Casemiro alone for the poor defensive display.

“You can’t put it on one player, it is a team performance. We did not adapt to the different situations,” Ten Hag said. “It’s clear, we didn’t act how we want to, it’s not good enough.

“There are always reasons, everyone could see our backline today, where we had huge problems. But at the end of the day, we have to deal with these issues and we should have done better.”

Manchester United’s next game is at home to league leaders Arsenal on Sunday.
