    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: PBKS win again

    Punjab Kings are back to winning ways. After a small blip, they’ve bounced back with another good performance. Improvements can be made in the field, but today once again showed how multi-faceted their batting lineup is.

  • 23:19 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: “Lot of positives from batting unit”

    Ruturaj Gaikwad states that there were a lot of positives to take from the batting unit today. CSK’s streak of not being able to chase a 180+ score since 2019 continues, but they gave it a decent go today. Nevertheless, lots to improve for the five-time champs.

  • 23:13 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: PBKS WIN!

    Punjab Kings have held their nerve! They win by 18 runs, their third victory of the season. First one at home. Fourth loss in succession for the Chennai Super Kings. SRH, CSK and MI are languishing at the bottom now.

  • 23:09 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: DHONI OUT!

    MS DHONI GONE! Yash Thakur gets the wicket on the first ball of the last over. It went like a rocket to short fine-leg, the ball bobbled twice but Yuzvendra Chahal holds on! He dropped one earlier, but this one counts!

    CSK 192/5 (19.1)

  • 23:07 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: 4, 6 Dhoni!

    Arshdeep Singh changes up his length, goes short, Dhoni gets four through fine-leg. Next one, good ball by Arshdeep, wide yorker but Dhoni still slams it all the way for a maximum! He takes a single off the final ball.

    CSK need 28 off 6. MS Dhoni on strike.

    CSK 192/4 (19)

  • 23:01 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: 42 off 11

    42 runs needed off 11 balls for Chennai Super Kings. Is tonight MS Dhoni’s night? Ravindra Jadeja takes a single, gives strike back to Dhoni. Arshdeep Singh is bowling the penultimate over.

    CSK 178/4 (18.1)

  • 22:58 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: DHONI 6, 6!

    MS Dhoni’s first one of the evening! He gets full hold of that one, and it flies over long-off for a maximum. Two more balls to go, what can he do? And Devon Conway has been retired out! Ravindra Jadeja takes his place.

    AND SIX MORE! Dhoni! Full toss, over fine leg, but not a no-ball.

    CSK 177/3 (17.5)

  • 22:56 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: DRS!

    Ferguson traps Dhoni on the pads, umpire gives not out. Prabhsimran and Lockie urging for the DRS, and Shreyas Iyer opts to send it upstairs. And it’s umpire’s call! MS Dhoni survives. It is all happening here at Mullanpur.

    CSK 164/3 (17.3)

  • 22:54 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: Great fielding by Shreyas

    Shreyas Iyer with some excellent fielding in the deep. Conway thought the boundary was a certainty, but Shreyas gets a had before it goes to the fence. Ends up saving 3 runs!

    CSK 163/3 (17.2)

  • 22:51 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: Uphill task for CSK

    Brilliant over by Yuzvendra Chahal, does not concede a single boundary. Devon Conway failing to middle it. CSK need a dose of Dhoni magic. They require 59 runs to win off 18 balls, at a required run rate of nearly 20.

    CSK 161/3 (17)

  • 22:48 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: And here comes Chahal!

    Yuzvendra Chahal has been given his first over as MS Dhoni walks in. Bold tactic by Shreyas, in a crucial juncture of the game. CSK are on the back foot, but can Dhoni turn the tide in favour of the men in yellow?

    CSK 155/3 (16.2)

  • 22:45 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: OUT!

    BOWLED! Shivam Dube is gone. Lockie Ferguson makes an important breakthrough. But listen to the crowd! They’re hyped, because Mahendra Singh Dhoni is out into the middle. CSK need 69 runs in 25 balls.

    CSK 151/3 (15.5)

  • 22:42 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: Great over by Arshdeep

    Dropped catch, yes, but a great over by Arshdeep Singh. Brought in under pressure to make a breakthrough, and he’s bowled really well and pegged CSK back a little. Meanwhile, no Yuzvendra Chahal in 16 overs because no left-handers are at the crease!

    CSK 148/2 (15.2)

  • 22:39 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: Another one dropped!

    That’s another sitter put down. This time, a lifeline for Shivam Dube. The southpaw sliced it straight to Lockie Ferguson at backward point, but the ball just popped out of his grasp. PBKS could end up rueing this.

    CSK 143/2 (14.4)

  • 22:37 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: 19 off the over

    19 off Marco Jansen’s over! Dube gets yet another maximum. Is that the big over CSK needed to get up and running? You have to feel for Jansen. He saw Conway dropped twice off his bowling in the previous over. Now that has come back to bite them.

    CSK 139/2 (14)

  • 22:33 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: 50 for Conway!

    Devon Conway completes his half-century with a maximum over mid-wicket. It’s taken him 37 balls to reach the milestone. Flick of the wrists there for the 6, exquisitely timed. CSK need more of these.

    CSK 130/2 (13.2)

  • 22:29 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: Getting tougher for CSK

    Chennai Super Kings continue to lose track of this run chase. 100 runs to get now in just 7 overs. Conway and Dube are well-set, but the big hits are not coming as frequently as they need to. The asking rate is creeping up towards 15.

    CSK 120/2 (13)

  • 22:25 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: SIX!

    Devon Conway is starting to make PBKS pay! Great shot, as Marcus Stoinis comes into bowl his first over. Hit so beautifully. Crack, great sound off the bat! Conway into the 40s, and he must accelerate now.

    CSK 117/2 (12.2)

  • 22:23 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK, IPL 2025 LIVE: 9 off the over

    And Dube ends the over with a boundary. Into the gap, hit hard and past the fielder at mid-off. Jansen must be annoyed, two golden chances for a wicket put down in that over. PBKS are ahead in this match, but these can prove to be costly.

    CSK 110/2 (12)

  • 22:21 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: CONWAY DROPPED TWICE!

    Oh dear, oh dear. Devon Conway has been dropped twice in two balls! Marco Jansen can’t help but give a smile of frustration. First, Yuzvendra Chahal puts it down at short fine-leg, then put down by Yash Thakur at deep third man. And then a misfield!

    CSK 105/2 (11.3)

  • 22:19 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: 100 up!

    100 up for Chennai Super Kings in the 11th over. Still a long way to go in this run chase, they’re not even half way there. A lot of pressure on the men in yellow. Dube has to take charge, while Conway hasn’t fully got going.

    CSK 101/2 (11)

  • 22:14 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: SIX

    First 6 of the innings for CSK, and it’s come in the 10th over! Shivam Dube pummels this one, over mid-wicket, gets up to 22. That’s his highest score of the season so far. He is a great powerhitter when on song, and CSK’s hopes currently rest on him.

    CSK 91/2 (10)

  • 22:09 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: 141 needed off 66

    For a team who have failed to chase any total of 180 or more since 2019, the equation isn’t something encouraging. Chennai Super Kings have a mountain to climb still, and the runs aren’t coming in the pace they need.

    CSK 79/2 (9)

  • 22:05 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: 4, Dube!

    Second boundary for Shivam Dube. Delicately placed through the third man region, right between two fielders in the circle. But this won’t be enough for CSK, they need many more boundaries to avoid the pressure from building up.

    CSK 76/2 (8.3)

  • 22:02 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: Cracking shot

    Impact player Shivam Dube picks up his first boundary. Exquisitely timed through the covers for 4. That was hit hard and with conviction. Brilliant by the left-hander. CSK have a long, long way to go in this run chase.

    CSK 69/2 (8)

  • 21:58 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: GAIKWAD GONE!

    HUGE WICKET! CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad is on his way back. Poor shot by Gaikwad, no timing, and a great, sharp catch taken at short mid-on by Shashank Singh. Chennai Super Kings have lost their two most reliable batters in the space of six balls.

    CSK 62/2 (7.2)

  • 21:54 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: OUT!

    Maxwell strikes! Stumped. Rachin Ravindra misses it completely, he was outside his ground. Great wicket-keeping by Prabhsimran Singh, who dismantles the bails with ease. Ravindra departs for 36 off 23 balls.

    CSK 61/1 (6.3)

  • 21:52 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK, IPL 2025 LIVE: 50 up for CSK

    Chennai Super Kings manage a score of 59 in the powerplay. The run-rate is pretty good, and importantly, CSK have not lost a wicket yet. However, they are behind the asking run-rate too, which is up over 11.

    CSK 59/0 (6)

  • 21:43 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: Conway now!

    Devon Conway gets 4 more. The Kiwi left-handers slowly accelerating gears. Good timing by Conway on this instance, he finds the gap at mid-wicket for 4 more. The partnership nearing 50, with Shreyas going to Maxwell for an over.

    CSK 47/0 (5)

  • 21:40 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: 4 boundaries in 1 over!

    Rachin Ravindra on a roll! Three boundaries in a row, against impact sub Yash Thakur. Classy batting by the Kiwi, who takes advantage of his luck with an inside edge, and then hits two cracking drives through the off-side. 

    CSK 39/0 (4)

  • 21:34 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: 4 more!

    A quiet second over, but Devon Conway now gets yet another boundary. Bold shot, over extra-cover. Clears the fielders and reaches the fence. Rachin joins in the act two balls later, upper cut executed well for 4 more.

    CSK 22/0 (2.3)

  • 21:26 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: 4, Conway!

    Now Devon Conway picks up a boundary off his first ball. Width offered by Arshdeep, and Conway places it delicately through third-man. Good timing by left-hander. The over ends with a dot, 9 off it.

    CSK 9/0 (1)

  • 21:24 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: CSK start chase

    Rachin Ravindra gets his first boundary! Excellent shot by the Kiwi, Wadhera gave in the dive at the deep point boundary, but not enough to stop it from rolling away for 4. CSK up and running, they’ll need to have a big start here.

    CSK 4/0 (0.2)

  • 21:15 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: Huge task for CSK

    Chennai Super Kings will have to pull off something incredible to chase this down. They’ve not managed to chase anything over 180 since 2019, so 220 will require more than one big knock. Over to Ruturaj Gaikwad and co.!

  • 21:13 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: Priyansh. Arya.

    Take a bow, Priyansh Arya. Wickets tumbling at the other end? No problem. The 24-year-old took control, and we have yet another incredible story of IPL. Rs 3.8 crore at the auction, worth his weight in gold today.

    Fastest-ever century by an uncapped player, in just 39 balls. Wow.

  • 21:08 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: PBKS pile up 219!

    Shashank Singh runs 3, gets to a well-made half-century and PBKS have posted a superb total of 219. This will need some chasing by the men in yellow. The standout? Priyansh Arya, of course. Probably the best knock of IPL 2025.

    PBKS 219/6 (20 overs)

    CSK Target: 220

  • 21:06 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: 6!

    Marco Jansen gives it another big heave. Terrific shot, one-handed! Jansen removes his bottom hand, and the ball flies over the bowler’s head for a maximum. Punjab Kings could get 220!

    PBKS 215/6 (19.4)

  • 21:02 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: Highest score in Mullanpur

    Punjab Kings’ first innings total is up to 207, and that is the highest-ever score made at Mullanpur in IPL history. They still have one over to go, which will be bowled by Pathirana. The Sri Lankan has had a poor day at the office so far.

    PBKS 208/6 (19)

  • 21:01 (IST)

    PBKS vs CSK LIVE: 200 up!

    200 up for Punjab Kings! They’ve recovered from 83/5 to now post a total this big. Really, really good recovery, led by their uncapped gem at the top, Priyansh Arya. And runs continue to flow! Shashank accelerating towards his half-century now.

    PBKS 206/6 (18.5)

Trump Says “Not Looking” At Pause In Tariffs

Trump Says “Not Looking” At Pause In Tariffs

by | Apr 7, 2025 | top-stories




Washington:

US President Donald Trump on Monday threatened fresh tariffs of 50 percent on China and ruled out any pause in his aggressive new global trade policy, despite a dramatic market sell-off.

Trump upended the world economy last week with sweeping tariffs that have raised fears of an international recession and triggered criticism even from within his own Republican Party.

As the trade war escalates, Beijing — Washington’s major economic rival — unveiled its own 34 percent duties on US goods to come into effect on Thursday.

The US president chastised China for ignoring his warning that targeted countries should not to retaliate.

He said that if Beijing did not immediately back down the United States would impose additional 50 percent tariffs on China from Friday.

“I have great respect for China but they can not do this,” Trump said in the White House. “We are going to have one shot at this… I’ll tell you what, it is an honor to do it.”

With the incoming 34 percent rate and new 50 percent threat, the total extra tariffs on China this year could rise to 104 percent, the White House told AFP.

– China responds –

Beijing hit back, saying in a statement from its US embassy that “pressuring or threatening China is not a right way to engage.”

Stock markets and oil prices collapsed further, as trading floors across the world endured waves of selling after last week’s sharp losses.

Wall Street stocks finished lower following a volatile session, with both the Dow and S&P 500 ending down.

But Hong Kong collapsed by 13.2 percent Monday, its worst day in nearly three decades.

Trillions of dollars have been wiped off combined stock market valuations in recent sessions.

Tokyo closed down by almost eight percent. Frankfurt fell as much as 10 percent in early trading before paring back losses.

Trump doubled down again on Monday, saying he was “not looking” at any pause in tariff implementation.

He also scrapped any meetings with China over tariffs, but said the United States was ready for talks with any country willing to negotiate.

“There can be permanent tariffs, and there can also be negotiations, because there are things that we need beyond tariffs,” Trump said while meeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the first leader to lobby him in person over the levies.

A 10 percent “baseline” tariff on US imports from around the world took effect Saturday, and a slew of countries will be hit by higher duties from Wednesday, including the levy of 34 percent for Chinese goods as well as 20 percent for EU products.

Scores of countries have sought talks, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Fox News, adding “through good negotiations, all we will do is see levels come down.”

EU trade ministers were in Luxembourg on Monday to discuss the bloc’s response, with Germany and France having advocated a tax targeting US tech giants.

“We must not exclude any option on goods, on services,” said French Trade Minister Laurent Saint-Martin.

The 27-nation bloc should “open the European toolbox, which is very comprehensive and can also be extremely aggressive,” he said.

But signs of divergence emerged from Ireland, whose low corporate tax rate has attracted US tech and pharmaceutical companies.

Targeting services “would be an extraordinary escalation,” said Irish Trade Minister Simon Harris.

– Inflation? Recession? –

Bitcoin tumbled, while the dollar rebounded after sharp losses last week.

“Don’t be Weak! Don’t be Stupid!” Trump urged Americans minutes before Wall Street opened. “Be Strong, Courageous, and Patient, and GREATNESS will be the result!”

The 78-year-old Republican believes that the tariffs will revive America’s lost manufacturing base by forcing foreign companies to relocate to the United States, rather than making goods abroad.

But most economists question his theory and say his tariffs are arbitrary.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warned of coming inflation, adding “whether or not the menu of tariffs causes a recession remains in question, but it will slow down growth.”

US Senator Ted Cruz — a staunch Trump loyalist — expressed widespread concern among Republican lawmakers over the impact on ordinary voters.

He warned of a jobs crunch and rising prices, saying a recession would mean a “bloodbath” for Republicans in mid-term elections next year.

Rs 20 Lakh Crore Gone In 10 Seconds As Indian Markets Crash Due To Trump Tariffs

Rs 20 Lakh Crore Gone In 10 Seconds As Indian Markets Crash Due To Trump Tariffs

by | Apr 7, 2025 | top-stories



US President Donald Trump’s tariffs have unleashed chaos across the globe, plunging the Indian equity markets to their 10-month low and wiping out investor wealth of over Rs 20 lakh crore within seconds. Sensex opened nearly 4,000 points lower, sliding over 3.5% since its last trading session, while Nifty tanked over 1,000 points this morning. The crash follows a massive sell-off in Asian equities, panicked by Trump’s radical policies, and US futures pointing at significant losses when it resumes trading this evening. European markets too have slumped as panic selling continued.

The tariffs – billed as the harbinger of a “golden period” for US industries – seek to undo trade practices that President Trump believes have been unfair. The tariffs are country-specific and go as high as 50%. The rate announced for India is 26%, which has set off fears among exporters and traders, in addition to a 10% baseline duty applied to all nations.

A defiant Trump appeared unmoved by the bloodbath in global markets, equating his tariffs with a medicine that is required to “fix something” while speaking to reporters this morning.

Indian Equities Lose 3.5%

Sensex crashed 3, 939.68 points to 71,425.01 in early trade as trading resumed at 9 am after the weekend holidays. Nifty tumbled 1,160.8 points to 21,743.65 during this period. Sensex, a pack of India’s top 30 companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange, was down over 3,000 points at noon, while Nifty, the National Stock Exchange index, dropped below the 22,000 mark.

The rupee also opened lower this morning, falling 30 paise to 85.74 against the US dollar.

Analysts suggest Trump’s tariffs were bound to cause fears in Indian markets and that the country now needs financial reforms to protect its domestic economy from the global trade war.

“India will face the heat, not due to domestic reasons, but as an interlinked chain in the global portfolio flows. India will need a fiscal, monetary, and reform package to protect the domestic economy from this global economic winter that is threatening to settle in,” Ajay Bagga, a market expert, told ANI.

Sunil Gurjar, SEBI-registered research analyst, said Nifty50 has plunged through the first support level and is nearing the second, and a further breakdown would only extend the downward trend.

Global Equities

Asian equities, the first among all markets to open, have been hit the hardest as Trump tariffs extended a massive sell-off on the bourses in China, Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. 

In China, where the Communist government has retaliated against the US with 34% tariffs, stocks have crashed over 4% while the Hang Seng index is down by over 10% in Hong Kong. Nikkei in Japan is down at least 6.5% after crashing over 8% in early trade. Taiwan’s main index collapsed nearly 10% and Singapore’s over 8%.

European markets extended the losses with German stocks crashing 10% and French equities diving 4%. London indices too fell nearly 6% while Amsterdam and Oslo saw losses of about 5% and Milan was down by over 3%.

The situation is grim for Wall Street too. Futures contracts were sharply down on the New York Stock Exchange, suggesting significant losses were about to come when the US markets open on Monday.

Besides sparking an equity free-fall, Trump’s trade policies have also sparked fears of global recession, and his defiance has caused concern among market experts. SPI Asset Management’s Stephen Innes fears a global recession may be coming soon. “The market is in free-fall mode again, punching through floors. Trump’s team isn’t blinking. The tariffs are being treated as a victory lap, not a bargaining chip.”

Viral Video Shows Woman Thrashing Mother-In-Law In Gwalior, Dragging Her By Hair

Viral Video Shows Woman Thrashing Mother-In-Law In Gwalior, Dragging Her By Hair

by | Apr 5, 2025 | top-stories




Bhopal:

A video of a woman thrashing her mother-in-law in Madhya Pradesh has gone viral with her husband now fearing for his and his mother’s life in light of the grisly Meerut murder. The elderly woman is seen being dragged away by her daughter-in-law at their Gwalior home as she tried to save her son from being thrashed by his in-laws.

Vishal Batra, who runs a car spare shop, and his mother Sarla Batra, 70, have complained to the police that their in-laws barged into their house and attacked them over what they claimed was a “small issue”. Mr Batra later told reporters that his wife had been insisting on sending his mother to the old-age home – which he had refused.

Ms Batra claimed her daughter-in-law called her father Surendra Kohli on April 1 afternoon after which he reached their house in Adarsh Colony with his son Nanak Kohli and some other men. CCTV video showed Vishal Batra inside his house when his father-in-law entered the house and abruptly slapped him. He tried to hit back, but some others barged inside and started beating him.

Neelika, who was on the first floor, came downstairs and dragged away her mother-in-law, who was seen trying to save her son. The video showed her dragging the elderly woman by her hair and landing punches on her arms.

Their minor son – visibly scared – was also present during the assault.

Another video showed Mr Batra being assaulted on the streets and his son trying to move his mother away. Sarla Batra, who now has a swollen eye, said his son’s in-laws dragged him outside and the assault continued.

The neighbours then intervened and the matter moved to the police station.

“I am being harassed a lot. I can’t take it anymore. They called goons, and her father and brother thrashed us. How can someone beat a woman? Now they are threatening to kill us. We are scared and staying away from home,” she later told NDTV.

Mr Batra alleged his brother-in-law threatened him at the police station that he would kill him and his mother. And that his in-laws also took over his house – reportedly valued in crores – and locked it, leaving them stranded outside. He alleged that his wife has also threatened to file false charges against him and his mother.

“I am afraid that like the Meerut incident, my wife can kill me and my old mother,” he told reporters, pointing to the grisly murder in which a woman and her lover murdered her husband, chopped his body, and concealed it in a drum.

Neelika and her father are yet to make a public comment on the matter.

Mr Batra also claimed the police were initially reluctant to help but filed an FIR later. On Friday, he went to the Superintendent of Police’s office after which Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Vishal Batra assured him of strict action.

“You're War Profiteer”: Pro-Palestinian Employee Interrupts Microsoft AI CEO

“You're War Profiteer”: Pro-Palestinian Employee Interrupts Microsoft AI CEO

by | Apr 5, 2025 | top-stories



Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman’s remarks were interrupted by a pro-Palestinian protesting employee during the technology company’s 50th anniversary celebration on Friday over the firm’s ties with Israel.

“You are a war profiteer. Stop using AI for genocide,” Microsoft employee Ibtihal Aboussad said at the event in Redmond, Washington, while interrupting Mr Suleyman who was talking about the company’s artificial intelligence assistant product.

Mr Suleyman responded by saying: “I hear your protest, thank you.” The protesting employee was then escorted away.

An investigation by The Associated Press revealed earlier this year that AI models from Microsoft and OpenAI were used as part of an Israeli military program to select bombing targets during its wars in Gaza and Lebanon.

Various other firms and educational institutions have also faced protests over their ties with Israel as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza from Israel’s military assault has mounted.

The latest bloodshed in the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict was triggered in October 2023, when Palestinian Islamist group Hamas attacked Israel, killing 1,200 and taking about 250 hostages, according to Israeli tallies.

Israel’s subsequent assault on Hamas-governed Gaza has killed over 50,000 Palestinians, according to Gazan health officials, while also triggering accusations of genocide and war crimes that Israel denies. The assault has internally displaced nearly Gaza’s entire 2.3 million population and caused a hunger crisis.

The Verge tech news website quoted an email that Aboussad, the protesting employee, sent to other Microsoft employees justifying her protest.

Microsoft said it provided many avenues for all voices to be heard in a way that does not cause business interruption.

Aboussad was cited by AP to be saying that she and another protesting employee lost access to their work accounts after the protest.
