T20 World Cup: India defeats Australia and went to the semifinals

India easily advanced to the semifinals of the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup with a decisive 24-run victory against Australia in their final Super Eight stage match on Monday at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium thanks to a fantastic recovery with the ball from Kuldeep Yadav and Arshdeep Singh.

Following skipper Rohit Sharma’s devastating 92 off 41 balls to enable India record a massive 205/5, a victory appeared improbable for India when opener Travis Head cleared his front leg and smashed his smashes all over the park in a 43-ball 76.

Arshdeep picked 3-37 and Kuldeep took 2-24, including the dismissal of Glenn Maxwell, to limit Australia to 181/7 in 20 overs.

Australia’s destiny in the semifinals is now sealed; should Afghanistan defeat Bangladesh at St. Vincent, they would be eliminated from the tournament. David Warner, who was chasing 205, was caught off guard by Arshdeep’s diving first slip and went for six.

Mitchell Marsh was dropped on five after Arshdeep was unable to take a catch on his follow-through, and he survived on zero as Rishabh Pant stumbled while chasing a catch off the draw. Marsh then started hitting boundaries, first hitting Arshdeep for two fours before completing the third over with an enormous drawn six.

Head slashed and pulled Jasprit Bumrah for two fours before slamming a full toss for four through point to join the boundary-hitting frenzy. Australia concluded the Power-play at 65/1 after Marsh pounded Axar Patel for four and six, respectively, and Head lofted and heaved Hardik Pandya for two sixes. Head continued to deal in boundaries, effortlessly drawing in a six and smashing a four over Hardik’s head.

However, Kuldeep broke the 81-run partnership for the second wicket under intense duress when Marsh went down to sweep, but Axar perfectly timed his jump at deep square leg and extended his right hand to scoop the ball out of thin air.

Maxwell sent off a pyrotechnics display as he skillfully touched the short third man to the boundary to take four off Ravindra Jadeja’s opening ball. He then executed two daring reverse sweeps, going for four and six, respectively, after that. Following that, India recovered magnificently.

Maxwell attempted to take on Kuldeep by going down the pitch to chop across the line, but the googly left his stumps in a messy state. Marcus Stoinis attempted a reverse sweep off Axar in the subsequent over, but backward point caught him on the rebound.

In his comeback, Bumrah tricked Travis Head with a slower ball, heaved to cover, and fell for 76. When Arshdeep returned, he quickly caught Tim David and Matthew Wade by the short third man, effectively winning the game for India.

Brief Scores:

India 205/5 in 20 overs (Rohit Sharma 92, Suryakumar Yadav 31; Mitchell Starc 2-45, Marcus Stoinis 2-56) beat Australia 181/7 in 20 overs(Travis Head 76, Mitchell Marsh 37; Arshdeep Singh 3-37, Kuldeep Yadav 2-24) by 24 runs

Trump guarantees international students green cards after they graduate

Former US President Donald Trump has declared that his administration will launch a scheme to automatically award Green Cards to international students who graduate from US colleges and institutions if he is re-elected.

If Trump follows through on his pledge and is re-elected, Indian students—who make up the second largest country of origin for international students—stand to gain the most.

Collectively, alongside students from China—the largest source nation—they make up 53% of all registered international students in 2023.

The program will employ a “aggressive vetting process” to keep out “all communists, radical Islamists, Hamas supporters, America haters, and public charges (poor foreigners who are unable to fend for themselves and need government)”, the Trump campaign quickly backtracked after the former president’s remarks.

On Thursday, Trump made these comments in a podcast with two investors from Silicon Valley. In response to a question about his commitment to bringing the greatest and the brightest to America, he responded, “I do promise, but I happen to agree.”

“What I’ll do is if you graduate from college, I believe that your diploma should automatically include a Green Card, allowing you to remain in this country, he added.

A Green Card is a step toward full citizenship because it grants the bearer the ability to live and work in the US continuously (Permanent Residency). Annually, the United States of America is anticipated to issue one million Green Cards and enroll one million international students, the majority of whom come from China and India.

If the former President does indeed deliver on this promise if elected, it would mark a major expansion of the programme, doubling the number of Green Cards issued annually.

The most important question is whether he will, in fact, keep this promise.

His administration attempted to limit immigration and specifically targeted Indians entering the country on H-1B short-term non-immigrant work visas between 2017 and 2021. He had been an advocate for the H-1B program prior to becoming office.

The vast majority of Indian students enrolled in US universities and colleges go on to obtain H-1B visas, work for US businesses, and eventually obtain citizenship and Green Cards. Two notable instances are Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google, and Shantanu Narayen, the CEO of Adobe. To obtain Green Cards, international students must first go through the H-1B or other work visa stage.

T20 World Cup: India defeats Afghanistan by 47 runs

In their opening Super Eight encounter at the Kensington Oval here on Thursday, India defeated Afghanistan by a commanding 47 runs, thanks to the efforts of fast bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh, who each claimed three wickets. This victory allowed India to continue their unbeaten streak in the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup.

Suryakumar Yadav proved to be the difference on a damp and sluggish pitch as he struck a brilliant fifty-eight off only 28 balls, including five fours and three sixes at a strike-rate of 189. He was also very efficient with his sweep strokes, helping India to a commanding 181/8.

Axar Patel’s 12-run cameo and his 60-run partnership with Hardik Pandya (32) helped India pick up the pace, as 56 runs came in the final five overs.

Bumrah responded by taking 3–7, including bowling 20 dot balls, while Arshdeep, despite being occasionally wayward, took 3-36 to bowl out Afghanistan for 134.

Afghanistan’s pursuit got off to a quick start as Rahmanullah Gurbaz bowled Arshdeep for four and six in the first over. However, a cutter from Bumrah tricked the powerful Gurbaz into hitting over cover, giving the keeper an outside edge.

Virat Kohli was hit hard by Zadran at point, but he failed to make an easy catch off Arshdeep’s bowling. However, Axar struck fast since Zadran was unable to gain any height and went straight for further cover. Returning, Bumrah hit an off-cutter that grabbed hold of the pitch and deflected a leading edge off the bat of Hazratullah Zazai to backward point.

Afghanistan’s needed run rate skyrocketed as a result of India’s three strikes, even though Azmatullah and Gulbadin Naib hit five boundaries between them till the midway point mark.

However, Kuldeep ended the 44-run stand after the drinks break by getting Naib to misjudge a ball high in the air to the keeper. Ravindra Jadeja then got Omarzai to hole out to long-on. After that, the outcome was obvious: India easily won with Bumrah and Arshdeep scoring three wickets apiece, and Kuldeep claimed two wickets in his T20 World Cup debut.

Quick scores:

Afghanistan was defeated by 47 runs in 20 overs, with Afghanistan scoring 134 all out (Azmatullah Omarzai 26; Jasprit Bumrah 3-7, Arshdeep Singh 3-36). India scored 181/8 in 20 overs (Suryakumar Yadav 53, Hardik Pandya 32; Rashid Khan 3-26, Fazalhaq Farooqi 3-33).

Fatty Liver – Which Foods To Reduce

A disorder known as fatty liver occurs when the liver accumulates too much fat, increasing the size of the organ. There are two kinds of fatty liver, according to Shlloka Joshii, a diet and lifestyle expert and teacher of classical Hatha yoga. Non-alcoholic fatty liver is a condition that affects those who either drink too little or not at all. It typically affects those who are obese, have diabetes, or are taking certain medications. Overindulgence in alcohol can result in alcoholic fatty liver, a condition in which the liver is unable to metabolize fat and assimilate nutrients. This further damages the liver, resulting in fibrosis or cirrhosis, a disease where the liver becomes dormant.

Signs and symptoms

“At first, usually after meals, one may feel exhausted or have pain or discomfort in the right side of the upper abdomen. Severe upper abdominal pain, nausea, weakness, weight loss, ascites (abdominal distention), pale stools, muscle atrophy, and leg edema are possible symptoms in the later stages.”

Reasons

Overindulgence in alcohol (a man who consumes 15 or more drinks a week and a woman who consumes more than 8 drinks would undoubtedly develop fatty liver, leading to liver failure after 10 to 15 years).

Being overweight
Insulin sensitivity
Diabetes type 2
Syndrome metabolic
High triglyceride levels, or cholesterol,
adverse effects of medication
Being pregnant
genetic illnesses
illnesses such as hepatitis C

Few Tips if you have fatty liver

Lemon: Every day, on an empty stomach, squeeze half a lemon into a glass of warm water. This helps to flush out toxins and enhances the health of the liver.

Papaya: Eat a bowl of papaya on an empty stomach to help minimize liver inflammation due to the enzymes in the fruit. In addition to vitamins A, C, and E, it contains minerals, fiber, and antioxidants.

Pectin, which is abundant in apples, aids in the body’s cleansing process and aids in the removal of toxins from the digestive system. Fatty liver can be avoided by eating an apple every day. You may, however, consume up to three apples daily, one before each meal (breakfast, lunch, and supper), if you have Grade 2 or Grade 3 fatty liver. Alternatively, ingest 20–40 milliliters of apple cider vinegar on an empty stomach.

Beetroots: Due to their high vitamin C content, beetroots are believed to increase enzymatic activity and activate bile juice. Rich in vitamin A, carrots promote the liver’s general processes and help ward off liver disease. One medium-sized carrot or beetroot per serving before meals, in the form of a salad, would be a good suggestion.

Green veggies: Rich in essential antioxidants and chlorophyll, green veggies support the liver and remove toxins from the blood. You can eat a diet rich in nutritious greens such as lettuce, spinach, green peas, okra, kale, broccoli, and cauliflower. We advise eating 100–150 grams of boiled or steam-cooked veggies before a meal, or they can be eaten in place of the actual meal.

IDY 2024 – Not just do for a flexible body

Yoga is a discipline you take up for yourself rather than something that is forced upon you. Yoga is a way to influence the mental patterns and inclinations. Conflict exists wherever there is a mind. It will build one from within even if there isn’t one outside. It spirals into confusion by making connections between seemingly unconnected items. This is referred to as Maya.

The mind and time are intertwined. When you’re joyful, time doesn’t exist. Additionally, every second seems incredibly weighty when you’re unhappy. Having too much to accomplish, not enough time, or not enough energy to do it all leads to stress.In numerous aspects, yoga has shown to be beneficial for humankind.

Regretfully, yoga has become synonymous with simply building more elasticity in your body. It is regarded as health-promoting gymnastics. The founder of yoga, Maharishi Patanjali, states that the goal of yoga is “Heyam dhukkha manaagatham,” or to stop suffering before it starts.

Yoga is a means to uplift our souls, heal illnesses, and find solutions to our difficulties. Yoga is essential for all of us since it keeps our minds calm and makes them more intelligent. We occasionally avoid doing yoga out of pure laziness and give reasons like running out of time. Any amount of time you can commit to this will undoubtedly help you.

You will have more energy, clarity, and personal time when you practice yoga. The term “skill in action” refers to yoga. It is the ability to live our lives, control our minds, interact with others, and experience love. It is the coming together of the lower and higher selves. Without pranayama and meditation, yoga will just turn into a workout.

The eight limbs of yoga are Asana, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, Yama, Niyama, Pranayama, and Samadhi. We shall experience a profound shift in ourselves when we apply these eight limbs to our life. We can go from being weak to being strong, and from being depressed to living a joyful and healthy life. It’s not necessary for us to practice this to belong to a particular sect or religion.

Challenges force you to step beyond of your comfort zone and discover your inner abilities. Suffering results from not realizing your potential. Taking on challenges is an additional means of demonstrating your bravery, empathy, energy, and dedication to a higher purpose. This is the application of yoga. It increases your inner strength and self-assurance as you discover ways to lessen loneliness, lessen pain, and foster a sense of social connectedness.

People who experience great pain and sadness need to have more positive influences in their lives. Motivate them to practice yoga wherever you encounter negativity. Additionally, if someone is positive, urge them to practice yoga in order to keep that positive energy.

Suyanamaskar practice helps strengthen the immune system and invigorate the body.

A series of elegant yoga poses known as padmasadhana aid in the body’s suppleness. Your soul gets brighter and your mind gets lighter.

The quickest method for deeply transforming the body from the inside out is to open subtle energy channels with the sukshma yoga relaxation technique.

Ayurvedic and yoga sciences complement each other. Herbology, an age-old science, maintains our mental and bodily well-being.

It is recommended to follow a decent sattvik diet according to your constitution. Overindulging in Rajasic and Tamasic foods will hinder your progress as a yogi.

It won’t be very effective to meditate. For an excellent ayurvedic treatment, fresh fruits and vegetables, khichdi, are highly suggested.
