<p>The Legends League Cricket has made a lot of noise since its commencement. In a clash between the top two teams in the qualifier match, for a place in the final, India Capitals faced Bhilwara Kings at the&nbsp;Barkatullah Khan Stadium, Jodhpur on Sunday (October 02). In a high-scoring thriller, Gautam Gambhir-led India Capitals emerged on top by four wickets but the clash made heads turn for an ugly altercation between Yusuf Pathan and Mitchell Johnson.</p>

<p>The incident took place during the 19th over of Bilwara Kings' innings. Yusuf smacked the Australian for&nbsp;6, 4 and 6 off the first three balls before being dismissed by him on the last ball of the penultimate over. After his dismissal, Johnson muttered a few words at the former Indian batter who didn't take it kindly. Yusuf went towards him and the Aussie shoved the batter when the two came very close to each other. The on-field umpires also joined in to control the situation whereas the fielders looked on. <strong>Here's the viral video of the whole episode:&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>India and South Africa squared off against each other in the second and penultimate T20I in Guwahati on Sunday evening (October 02). Being asked to bat first, India rode on half-centuries from KL Rahul and in-form batter Suryakumar Yadav along with contributions from Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and a finishing cameo from Dinesh Karthik to post 237-3.</p>

<p>After reducing the Proteas to 46-3, India struggled to curtail the run-flow in the second half of the run-chase as centurion David Miller (47-ball 106 not out) and Quinton de Kock's 69* helped SA post 221-3; losing by 16 runs. During the match, the likes of captain Rohit (37-ball 43), KL Rahul (28-ball 55), Surya (22-ball 61), and Kohli (49 not out off 28 balls) provided enough entertainment for the crowd before DK joined in and played a useful cameo.</p>

<p>Kohli reached 49 on the second last ball of the 19th over, with a four off Anrich Nortje. He, however, missed scoring on the last ball before DK faced the entire last over off Kagiso Rabada. After facing the first four deliveries, DK seemingly asked Kohli if he wanted strike. To this, Kohli turned away quickly and asked him to have a go in the final two deliveries.</p>

<p>DK eventually helped India add 18 more runs with the bat, including a wide, with two sixes and a four. <strong>Here's the video of Kohli's selfless act:</strong></p>

<p>At the post-match presentation, captain Rohit opined, "All of us came together and said it was what we wanted to do as a team. It might not come across at times, but we want to stick to it. What I have seen in the last 8-10 months is individuals putting their hand up and getting the job done for the team. Guys without too much experience did this as well. The team wants to play and bowl in a certain way and we want to give them that confidence. Yes, we have not bowled well at the death in the last five or six games. We are doing the same to the opposition as well. To bowl and bat at the death is very tough. That is where the game is decided. It is not concerning, but we need to pick ourselves and get our act together. I am thinking of not playing Surya anymore and play him directly on 23rd.

<p>A horrific video of a fast-moving train slamming into a police car with a handcuffed woman inside is sure to bring focus back on policing in America. Colorado Police have released a body-cam footage of a graphic incident in which that car with handcuffed woman inside is seen flying in a mangled heap due to the massive impact caused by the moving train.</p>

<p>At the start of the video, several police officers are seen arresting a woman, reportedly a 20-year-old. The woman can be seen kneeling with her hands raised in defensive way while a gun points at her. The woman can be seen getting handcuffed and being sat in the police car, still parked right in the middle of the railway track.</p>

<p>The unease among the police official can be noticed as they suddenly hear a distant horn from an oncoming train.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Words like "Oh my God," and "Stay back" are heard. No effective attempts to quickly remove the woman from the car or to take the car off-track are visible. The officers back away from the car, just seconds before a horrific collision.</p>

<p>Due to the massive momentum of the train, the car literally flies from its position and rests some distance away in a mangled heap. The video ends with police officers running towards the wreckage at a frantic pace.</p>

<p>The video is being circulated on social media with people criticising the police.&nbsp;</p>

Video: Train smashes police car with handcuffed female suspect inside

<p>India and Australia were involved in another high-scoring thriller in the third and final T20I, in Hyderabad, on Sunday evening (September 25). With the series levelled at 1-1, the stakes were high and the two heavyweights produced another thrilling contest where Rohit Sharma-led India won the clash on the penultimate ball to clinch the series 2-1.</p>

<p>The match went down to the wire, with India needing 11 off six balls. While Virat Kohli smashed a six off&nbsp;the first ball, he fell for 63 on the very next delivery. Hardik Pandya, who remained unbeaten on 25 off 16 balls, maintained his calm and hit the winning runs&nbsp;-- with four needed off two balls -- to take India past the finish line in front of a jam-packed stadium. As soon as Hardik did the job for India and completed the run-chase in style, cleverly opening the face of the bat to steer the ball towards the third-man region for a boundary -- skipper Rohit and Virat Kohli broke into wild celebrations sitting at the staircase of the Indian dressing room.&nbsp;</p>

In reply, India were reduced to 30 for 2 with the openers, KL Rahul and Rohit, falling cheaply before half-centurions Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav (who returned with the Player-of-the-Match award for his scintillating 36-ball 69, laced with 5 fours and sixes each) steadied the ship with an impressive 104-run third-wicket stand before Hardik's finishing skills stood out. India will now face South Africa in three T20Is and ODIs, each, before leaving for Australia for the 2022 T20 World Cup.

<p>Police in the north Indian city of Chandigarh said that a female student arrested in the 'video leak' row has neither shot nor shared any offensive footage of other female students. The student, her male friend, and the warden of the university who was seen in the video confronting the accused have been arrested.</p>

<p>Chandigarh police chief Vivek Soni said authorities discovered only one video of the accused herself, even as some Indian media reports state that four videos of the accused have been discovered.</p>

<p>The ongoing protests by the students and relatives continued after the students refused to accept the police's findings. &nbsp;There were unconfirmed reports that dozens of videos of girl students were leaked and that some of the victims tried committing suicide. The police refuted both claims.</p>

<p>The university's pro-chancellor Dr RS Bawa said in a statement earlier that the rumour that 60 objectionable videos have been discovered and identified "are completely baseless."&nbsp;</p>

<p>A special investigation team led by a senior IPS officer has been set up to look into the claims made by the students in the wake of the protests. A high-level investigation has been promised by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.</p>

Chandigarh 'video leak' row: Three held, cops say no objectionable clips of other girl students found

<p>Manchester United defeated&nbsp;Sheriff Tiraspol 2-0 in the Europa League match on Thursday (September 15). It was a clinical display from the Erik Ten Hag-led Red Devils and the clash also made heads turn with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring his first goal of the ongoing season, by converting a penalty to extend his side's lead in the recent face-off in Moldova.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It isn't everyday when a team as big as Man United travel to the small nation. Moreover, the people of the country went bonkers in the stadium seeing Ronaldo at his best. His goal sent the spectators into a frenzy as the 37-year-old finally opened his goal-scoring account this season. But it wasn't only the crowd present in the stands who went out of control seeing CR7's heroics. When the Man United players were coming out of the airport to take the team bus, many had gathered in large numbers to greet the star-studded line-up. The loudest cheer was for Ronaldo and just then a young fan -- donning a Man United jersey -- breached the security and ran towards the legendary footballer.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ronaldo hugged the youngster and even signed an autograph for him while taking him to the team bus. <strong>Here's the video of the entire episode as many have hailed Ronaldo for his heartfelt gesture towards his young follower:</strong></p>

<p>Virat Kohli ended his international drought on Thursday (September 8) as India faced Afghanistan in their last Super Four clash before bowing out of the Asia Cup 2022 edition. Bing asked to bat first, a Rohit Sharma-less Indian team rode on Kohli's 122 not out (off 61 balls), who opened the innings with stand-in captain KL Rahul, to post a mammoth 212-3.</p>

<p>In reply, Afghanistan fell like nine pins in the run-chase by being restricted to 111/8 in 20 overs to lose by a whopping 101-run margin. Bhuvneshwar Kumar returned with 5 for 4 in his full quota of overs to stand tall but the Player-of-the-Match Kohli generated maximum eyeballs. Kohli's innings was laced with 12 fours and 6 sixes and his return to form is a huge blessing for Rohit &amp; Co. heading into the 2022 T20 World Cup, from October-November in Australia. The 33-year-old Kohli's hundred is a huge sigh of relief for many Indian cricket fans, worldwide, who have been eagerly waiting for King Kohli to move past his ordinary run of form.</p>

<p>As soon as Kohli smacked an impressive pull over the fence to reach triple figures, the crowd -- at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai -- were sent into a frenzy. An elderly fan's unmissable reaction, present in the stands, went viral in no time as Kohli raised his bat and acknowledged the crowd after reaching his 71st international ton. <strong>Here's the video of the elderly fan bowing down to the Indian star batter:</strong></p>

<p>Ravindra Jadeja played his part in India's thrilling win over Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2022 clash on August 28 (Sunday) at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai. The star all-rounder returned with bowling figures of 2-0-11-0 and scored a crucial 29-ball 35 after being promoted at No. 4 in the Men in Blue's run-chase of 148 versus their arch-rivals.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In India's second game of the showpiece event, Jadeja didn't get a chance to bat as Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. posted a mammoth 192/2 in 20 overs versus Hong Kong, after being asked to bat first at the same venue. However, the 33-year-old returned with an economical spell of 4-0-15-1 and inflicted a run-out as well. He dismissed Hong Kong captain Nizakhat Khan, on a free hit delivery, to derail the minnows' run-chase on Wednesday (August 31). The run-out took place on the last ball of the powerplay, with Hong Kong 51 for 1. On a back of a length delivery, Nizakhat pushed the ball towards the backward point where Jadeja was placed. Trying to steal a single, the Hong Kong skipper paid a heavy price by taking on one of the best fielders as Jadeja's rocket throw sent him back to the pavillion. <strong>Here's the video of the run-out:</strong></p>

<p>A horrific video has emerged which appears to show a Ukrainian prisoner of war being castrated by Russian fighters. The Ukrainian, according to local reports, was later murdered.</p>

<p>The minute-and-a-half-long video, which was originally posted on pro-Russian Telegram channels, purportedly shows a group of Russian soldiers or mercenaries using a knife to castrate the man, who was bound and gagged and whose fatigues resemble of Ukrainian Army, reports The Moscow Times newspaper.</p>

<p>WION has decided not to republish the video, considering the sensitivity of the incident. Also, it could not independently verify the authenticity of the clip which was being circulated on Telegram channels.</p>

<p>Though it could not be determined exactly when or where the footage was taken, several reports indicated that the gruesome act could have happened weeks before near the Azot chemicals plant in the eastern city of Sievierodonetsk.</p>

<p>Most of the fight in Sievierodonetsk has subsided since the Russian forces captured the city. According to reports, the victim served with a Chechen formation known as the Akhat battalion.</p>

<p>The video has triggered widespread shock and horror not only in Ukraine, but also the world over. Officials in Kyiv have vowed to punish the perpetrators.</p>

<p>Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak&nbsp;tweeted, “All the world needs to understand: Russia is a country of cannibals who enjoy torture and murder. But the fog of war will not help to avoid the punishment of the executioners. We identify everyone. We will get everyone.”</p>

<p>Reacting to the video, Australian former general and military analyst Mick Ryan tweeted, “In the last day or so, a video showing Russian soldiers conducting a hideous and repulsive act against a defenceless Ukrainian prisoner of war has circulated. While I will not amplify this, I wanted to provide some thoughts.”</p>

<p>“First, from a purely human level, I am sickened that one human will do this to another. It is a depraved and inhuman act – there is nothing that justifies it. Second, as a soldier, it breaks my heart to see a fellow soldier – now a non-combatant – being treated in such a way. No soldier deserves such disgusting treatment.”</p>

<p>India's superstar javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra added another feather to his illustrious career. On Sunday (July 24), many Indians followed Neeraj's men's javelin final event at the ongoing World Athletics Championships as the 24-year-old was on the verge of becoming the second Indian to win a medal in the prestigious event.</p>

<p>Having qualified for the final&nbsp;with a throw of 88.39m, Neeraj upped the ante when it mattered the most and produced a memorable and historic throw of 88.13m in the final event to return with silver. Thus, the 'Golden Boy' of India won the country its second-ever medal in the championships after&nbsp;Anju Bobby George had attained&nbsp;a bronze medal in the 2003 edition&nbsp;in Paris. <strong>Here's the viral video of Neeraj's historic throw that earned him a podium finish:</strong></p>

<p>We humans are among the weakest animals on Earth. And we know it. That's why millions of years of evolution has taught us to tackle animal encounters using one supreme technique.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Running away.</p>

<p>There are ample living things to run away from on land and when it comes to the sea... well that's a foregone conclusion as water isn't our domain to start with.</p>

<p>Such ingrained behaviour of us land mammals was on full display in a video shot in California. The beachgoers ran and ran for their livee as if being chased by Godzilla but the pursuers in this case were two sea lions, usually held to be cute when they are at a sufficient distance.</p>

<p>To be fair to those leaving everything and running away, the sea lions appeared to be fully grown and were charging at unusual speed for a cute blubbery sea creature. They don't bite. But people in the video weren't in a mood to leave things to chance.</p>

<p>The Tiktok video is being widely shared on social media.</p>

<p>Were the sea lions planning a mass bite-fest? Probably not, say the experts quoted in media reports.</p>

<p>Sea lion expert Eric Otjen of SeaWorld San Diego said such a behaviour is normal for these creatures around this time of the year.</p>

<p>This time of the year is breeding time for sea lions and males often fight to win females. Otjen told The Guardian that people on the beach were caught in crossfire of such a fight. The sea lion on the left was actually running away from one on right.</p>

<p>“He’s got swimmers all around him on his way back out, but they don’t bother him. What this is all about is his right to mate,” Otjen said, adding: “This behavior is not uncommon at all. The reason why the video has gotten like 10 millions views is because everybody is running like Godzilla is chasing them.”</p>

<p>He was quoted by The Guardian.</p>

We humans are among the weakest animals on Earth. And we know it. That's why millions of years of evolution has taught us to tackle animal encounters using one supreme technique. Running away. There are ample living things to run away from on land and when it comes to the sea... well that's a foregone conclusion as water isn't our domain to start with. Such ingrained behaviour of us land mammals was on full display in a video shot in California. The beachgoers ran and ran for their livee as if being chased by Godzilla but the pursuers in this case were two sea lions, usually held to be cute when they are at a sufficient distance. To be fair to those leaving everything and running away, the sea lions appeared to be fully grown and were charging at unusual speed for a cute blubbery sea creature. They don't bite. But people in the video weren't in a mood to leave things to chance. The Tiktok video is being widely shared on social media. The sea lions at La Jolla Cove San Diego have had enough of the tourists. 😂 pic.twitter.com/N1UgY4Ez78 — Anthea (@Anthea06274890) July 10, 2022 × Were the sea lions planning a mass bite-fest? Probably not, say the experts quoted in media reports. Sea lion expert Eric Otjen of SeaWorld San Diego said such a behaviour is normal for these creatures around this time of the year. This time of the year is breeding time for sea lions and males often fight to win females. Otjen told The Guardian that people on the beach were caught in crossfire of such a fight. The sea lion on the left was actually running away from one on right. “He’s got swimmers all around him on his way back out, but they don’t bother him. What this is all about is his right to mate,” Otjen said, adding: “This behavior is not uncommon at all. The reason why the video has gotten like 10 millions views is because everybody is running like Godzilla is chasing them.” He was quoted by The Guardian.

<p>When asked how he manages to do the job with such speed and perfection, he said, "There are dozens of destinations to select on my selection screen, but I don't take that trouble. The ticket costs either Rs.5/10/15, so I select the last destination that one can travel to for that particular amount. Thereby, instead of selecting from dozens of locations, I only have to select from 3-4 stations on my screen".&nbsp;</p>

<p>Anbazhagan adds that he prefers to do his work while standing, as that makes it easier to carry out the task in a fast and comfortable manner.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Neeraj Chopra remains the darling of the masses. Ever since his gold medal win in Tokyo 2020, the 24-year-old continues to impress one and all with his consistency. After breaking his own&nbsp;national record&nbsp;in the&nbsp;Paavo Nurmi Games, in Finland, Neeraj made heads turn once again during the just-concluded Stockholm Diamond League on Thursday (June 30).</p>

<p>Chopra secured silver with a historic throw, once again breaking the national record, of 89.94 metres. Despite missing out on the elusive gold, which was secured by&nbsp;Grenada's Anderson Peters with a throw of&nbsp;90.31 in his third attempt, the young javelin thrower won the hearts of many worldwide. Soon after the historic throw, a video of his interaction with a group of Indian fans was shared on social media platform Twitter. In the video, he can be seen interacting and clicking pictures with his well-wishers. One among them was an elderly fan and Chopra took his blessings before departing.

<p>The video featured a group of women, a choir group, singing beautifully in harmony. For the uninitiated, it would be hard to guess the song. But music doesn't have boundaries of language. And though the song is in Danish language, the beauty of the tune and singing of the women is enough for anyone to fall in love with the song.</p>

<p>The impromptu singing caught Obama by surprise. He waited to hear the group's song&nbsp;and reacted encouragingly.</p>

<p>"When I was in Copenhagen, I ran into this group of singers who were rehearsing on their balcony. They were fantastic — take a listen." said Obama on Instagram.</p>

<p>Check out the wonderful video with sound on.</p>
