In a see-saw battle, which was dominated by defenders, Giants handed Delhi team its first defeat of the season. In the process, Gujarat Fortune Giants (15) placed itself second in the points tally behind Delhi, who also have 16 points but played one extra game. For a record Giants had beaten UP Yoddha and Bengaluru Bulls in previous encounters. Once again for the Gujarat Fortune Giants, all-rounders GB More (9) and Rohit Gulia (8) raised the toast....

After an auction in May that saw teams spend Rs 47 crore to build their squads for the new season, the teams have now been training together and leadership roles have been assigned to each player. However, there are a few where it is still unclear who will lead the team, with a few weeks left for the first match to take place. Let’s take a look at these teams!...

In fact, they were the last franchise to announce their team name too. Without any doubt, all other teams must be following these developments closely and would be trying to make sense of it all. For they know that under the shrewd guidance of their coach J Udaya Kumar, there is a method to every little bit of madness that appears on the surface. If the coach’s reputation is anything to go by, this is not some dilly dallying of a petulant novice but, in fact, could very well be the first few moves of a well thought out plan by a master tactician....

The Bulls find themselves in a spot of bother on the Zone B table, sitting in fourth place and having won just three games out of 10 this season. They will be eyeing the win against an inconsistent Delhi side but will have to do so without the services of Ravinder Pahal, who is a former Dabang Delhi man himself. The defender will be serving his suspension after his red card against the Bengal Warriors on August 27 in Mumbai....

HILLARY CLINTON: Late last month Clinton visited a veterans home in Iowa as part of her “Holidays with Hillary” event series. The Wall Street Journal reports that she gave a specific proposal on low-interest loans: RUDY GIULIANI: Gearing up for Florida’s January 29th primary, Giuliani, flanked by supporting veterans in that state, talked about beefing up the military and the resolve of this current generation’s soldiers (Orlando Sentinel): JOE BIDEN: Stumping through New Hampshire in August, Biden had this to say in the Nashua Telegraph:...

The new NASCAR system gives preference to drivers with wins. For the past few years, the Chase included at least 12 drivers — the top 10 in points and two wild cards based on victories. Now the Chase field will have 16 drivers — the regular-season champion plus 15 winners with ties broken by number of wins and then points. But there typically aren't 15 different winners in the first 26 races, so winless drivers who are tops in points will fill out the field....

Avoiding contact with anyone who has chickenpox can reduce the risk of transmission. But, ultimately, the best way to protect yourself against chickenpox is by getting the chickenpox vaccine. Vaccination Since the varicella-zoster vaccine was first introduced in 1995, the risk of getting chickenpox has been dramatically reduced. Today, there are two different vaccines used to immunize against chickenpox: Varivax (varicella virus vaccine live): a single vaccine ProQuad (MMRV): a combination vaccine that is also used to prevent measles, mumps, and rubella...

Intravenous (IV) drug use, or injecting drugs in any way, is the leading single cause of the spread of HCV. To protect yourself, avoiding the use of ​used needles is the single best way to stop the spread of HCV. Medical Use If you use needles for medical care, always use sterile equipment and do not share needles for any reason.

Today Geoff Keighley decided to reveal yet another of The Game Awards 2016’s big premiers.

Prickly heat is also called heat rash and miliaria. Hot weather and high humidity are common triggers of prickly heat rash. This article will cover the symptoms of prickly heat, treatments, complications, and more. Causes of Prickly Heat When you sweat more than usual, your sweat ducts can become blocked, which leaves the sweat trapped deep underneath the skin’s surface.

The Prince of Wales is on a charm offensive in Athens after Britain’s exit from the European Union and gave a speech at a state dinner last night. However, the royal couple’s arrival was days before the government begins imposing $6,800 (£5,000) fines for overseas travel from Monday. The strict measures, announced on Tuesday, cover anyone going abroad without a reasonable excuse and Sky News reported the House of Commons will vote on the proposals today....

The Duke of Sussex reprised his friendship with the first lady during an event for competitors in the Department of Defense tournament, which was canceled due to COVID. The Warrior Games sees injured or sick servicemen and women compete in a range of adaptive sports in the style of the Olympics and aims to help recovery. Prince Harry said: “To see every single one of you here, with the pride on your faces, makes me incredibly happy to know how far you guys have come, the dark places that you have been to but where you are now stronger than ever before, no doubt, and that is partly if not mainly down to sport....

The Duke of Sussex filed a “judicial review” of the Home Office decision to remove his police protection while in Britain and has offered to pay the officers who would guard him. Harry’s legal representative said he is unable to return home to the U.K. without a police protection detail because the risk to his safety is too high, even though he has his own private security. Amber Melville-Brown, global head of reputation at lawfirm Withers, told Newsweek: “While the prodigal son is welcome in his home country, asking for the British police and security services to be served up to him as the fatted calf, even if he foots the bill, is not a great brand-building move....

Princess Diana famously said on BBC’s Panorama, “there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded” during her most famous tell-all media appearance at the height of the disintegration of her relationship with Charles. However, Prince William has since called for the program never to be aired again after controversy surrounding how journalist Martin Bashir secured the scoop. And it appears he may get his wish, at least in part, after the BBC committed not to show it in full or license it to other broadcasters....

The Duke of Cambridge reportedly knew the officer from his time at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. During the Taliban’s swift takeover of Afghanistan last month, Prince William heard that his acquaintance was in the country and needed to be evacuated to the U.K. According to The Telegraph, the Duke asked his equerry, Naval officer Rob Dixon, to make some calls on his behalf to ensure that the former cadet made it to safety, along with his family....

Shaw gave glimpses of his immense talent, scoring 66 off 780 balls, to help Board President’s XI comfortably beat New Zealand by 30 runs in their opening warm-up game, here. “I heard he was 17, I couldn’t quite believe it. He played very nicely. I think the ball swung around nicely at the start, and it didn’t seem to trouble him. “He’s probably one of many who has a promising career ahead of him, if all things go well....

The Bengal Warriors won the first points of the match through Mahendra Rajput’s raid and a successful review as Yogesh Hooda’s claim was dismissed by the referee. The Paltans made the score 3-2 by tackling opposition captain Dinesh Kumar in the 3rd minute. In the 7th minute, Bengal Warriors had taken another review, which also turned out to be successful as the Bengal Warriors established a 3-point lead against the Paltans....

The visitors won the first points of the match when they got the home team’s star raider Ajay Thakur out in the 3rd minute. However, it was all Bulls from there as Manjeet Chhillar and Ajay showed their quality and got the home team to a 6-1 lead after 8 minutes. Dharmaraj Cheralathan reduced the Dabangs to just 1 player – Selvamani K, who was tackled by the sharp Bengaluru defence to inflict an all out on the visitors to take the lead, 10-2 in the 10th minute....

Puneri Paltan won the other game between the two sides earlier this season, which remains their solitary win this season. So the Puneri Paltan will have a slight psychological advantage over the Bengal Warriors going into the game. With the team’s fragile defence up against the rather impotent Bengal Warriors attack, the tie is likely to be decided in the Bengal Warriors half and that is where the Paltans have an edge over the Warriors with the likes of Wazir Singh and Pravin Niwale in their ranks....
