It will be Mauricio Pochettino's first job since leave PSG in July last year.

Chelsea appoint Mauricio Pochettino as new manager

Mauricio Pochettino has joined Chelsea on a 2-year deal with the option for an extra year.

#Poch #Chelsea

<h2>It will be Mauricio Pochettino's first job since leave PSG in July last year.</h2>

It's confirmed!
Chelsea have hired Mauricio Pochettino as manager, tasking the Argentine coach with getting the best out of an expensively assembled squad that has underperformed at the start of a new era for the English club.
Pochettino will take up the role on July 1, Chelsea said, after agreeing to a two-year contract, with the club having the option of keeping him on for a further year.
It is Pochettino&rsquo;s first coaching role since leaving Paris Saint-Germain in July last year and marks his return to the Premier League, where he had an impressive 5 1/2-year spell with Tottenham that included a run to the Champions League final.
Pochettino had been widely expected to take the Chelsea job, which is considered one of the most high-profile positions in European soccer.
He is the permanent successor to Graham Potter, who was fired in March after nearly seven months in charge. Frank Lampard has led the team on an interim basis since then and the team finished the Premier League in 12th place.

Wrestler protest: how AI put smiles on faces of detained athletes, as per social media Users


The controversy began with athlete Bajrang Punia tweeting two images of fellow protesting wrestlers Vinesh and Sangeeta Phogat - one smiling and the other serious while sitting in a police vehicle.

Amid claims that a morphed picture of protesting wrestlers was being shared on social media, some netizens conducted an analysis of the viral image.
The controversy began with athlete Bajrang Punia on May 28, 2023, sharing two images of fellow protesting wrestlers Vinesh and Sangeeta Phogat. One showed the Phogat sisters smiling while being detained by police, and the other showed them sitting seriously.
YouTuber Dhruv Rathee claimed that artificial intelligence software was used to alter the photograph. He said that the morphed image can be easily recognised since AI gives people perfect-looking teeth.
Another social media user compared the allegedly morphed photo with older pictures from Vinesh Phogat's Instagram. He claimed that the AI photo showed Vinesh with prominent dimples as she smiles. But other photos of Vinesh do not show any dimples in her cheeks, he said.
Another person named Uzair Rizvi, who claims to be an AFP journalist, posted a video as a tutorial of how AI can be used to put smiles on faces in photographs. He tweeted that he used an application named FaceApp to alter the image. For the demonstration, he used the same viral photos of Vinesh and Sangeeta Phogat.

Retired IPS officer NC Asthana reportedly said that while protestors were being dragged like bags of trash for now, police retain the right to open fire under Section 129 of the CrPC.

Wrestlers' protest: ex-IPS officer's 'will shoot if needed' warning; Bajrang Punia responds

Retired IPS officer NC Asthana reportedly said that while protestors were being dragged like bags of trash for now, police retain the right to open fire under Section 129 of the CrPC.

A war of words broke out between star wrestler Bajrang Punia and a former police officer after protesting wrestlers were detained by police while trying to march to the new Parliament on May 28, 2023.
Retired IPS officer NC Asthana reportedly commented on the athletes' protest, saying that if needed, even bullets would be used by police.
Asthana said that while protestors were being dragged like bags of trash for now, police retain the right to open fire under Section 129 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
In response, Punia tweeted on May 29 that the wrestlers are standing in the open. He dared the former IPS officer to tell the protestors where they would be shot and added that they would not turn their backs.

MS Dhoni: CSK Captain now most successful skipper in IPL history

MS Dhoni was always the most revered captain in IPL history but now, he's also the most successful.

#IPL2023Final #MSDhoni

<h2>Having led CSK to 5 titles &amp; 10 finals in 14 seasons, MS Dhoni is the benchmark of success in the IPL.</h2>

MS Dhoni has cemented his status as the most successful captain in IPL history.&nbsp;
While he shares the honor of 5 IPL trophies with Rohit Sharma, Dhoni's unparalleled achievements with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) make him the undisputed king of the IPL.
CSK, under Dhoni's astute leadership, have played 14 seasons in the IPL. During this remarkable journey, they have reached the playoffs or semifinals a record-breaking 12 times, with 10 of those occasions culminating in appearances in the final.

Not only does Dhoni hold the record for the most number of IPL finals reached, but he also boasts a superior win percentage compared to his counterpart Rohit Sharma.&nbsp;
Both captains have led their respective teams in over 150 matches, yet Dhoni's unwavering determination and strategic brilliance have propelled him to even greater heights.
Dhoni's future as CSK captain, however, remains uncertain. And the world recognizes that it is only a matter of time before this legend bids farewell.&nbsp;
Regardless, even if we don't witness him leading the Yellow Brigade next year, Dhoni will undoubtedly exit the stage at the pinnacle of his career &mdash; a befitting fairytale for the legend of Mahi.

MS Dhoni &amp; CSK while these names are synonymous, Dhoni has also played 2 years for another IPL team- Rising Pune Supergiant where he also served as the captain for a year.

While it is almost impossible to put MS Dhoni's IPL legacy into words, Captain Cool who has now led Chennai in 250 games has had his fair share of upheavals in his 15-year-long IPL career.&nbsp; From &nbsp;in-house disagreements to the bittersweet experience of relinquishing his esteemed captaincy to being the most expensive buy... truly, this son of Ranchi, a distinguished luminary of Indian cricket, has had a roller-coaster of an IPL journey. Let's have a brief look at 10 of his IPL career highlights- MSD signs Sunil Gavaskar&rsquo;s shirt - 2023 It was an iconic fan moment as former India captain Sunil Gavaskar got his shirt signed by MS Dhoni during CSK&rsquo;s last home match against KKR in IPL 2023. As Dhoni and his team were doing a lap around the Chepauk stadium, Gavaskar ran towards MS to get his shirt signed. Gavaskar said later that it was an emotional moment for him. We feel you, Sunny, Paji!

Chennai's match against Rajasthan Royals which the visitors won at the MA Chidambaram stadium was MSD&rsquo;s 200th game as Chennai&rsquo;s skipper. Overall it was his 214th assignment as IPL captain. He also became the first player in IPL history to captain a side in 200 matches. He joined the side in 2008 in the first edition and since then he has been part of the team for all the IPL editions in which CSK played.&nbsp; The captaincy drama - 2022
Things went south between close colleagues MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja, where apparently as per reports the latter was pondering on leaving the franchise last year. This happened after Jadeja had to hand back the captaincy to MS Dhoni after CSK performed poorly in the 2022 season. However, the 2 CSK stalwarts resolved the issue before the 2023 season began. Captain Cool&rsquo;s not-so-cool side- 2019
It was a never-seen-before incident as the perpetually cool MSD lost his calm and stormed onto the ground to question the umpire's no-ball decision. While he was harshly criticised for that behaviour, he was only charged a lenient 50% match fee. Former England captain Michael Vaughan went on to slam Dhoni by saying, 'You cannot be sending out that message even if you are MS Dhoni' &lsquo;Hopefully, yes&rsquo; - 2019
The speculations around MSD's retirement had been one of the biggest talking points in IPL for the last few years. 4 years ago, when in 2019 Simon Doull asked&nbsp; Dhoni if he'll be playing IPL next season as well, the skipper's cheeky reply put the speculations to rest. Dhoni only responded with a 'hopefully yes' and since then he has not only participated in 4 seasons, but he also won the trophy in 2021 ( and 2023 if CSK win). The teary-eyed captain - 2018
After being banned for a couple of years on account of a spot-fixing scandal, CSK returned in 2018.&nbsp; Ahead of the readmission, Dhoni, an otherwise temperamentally strong cricketer, got all emotional and struggled to complete his sentences while speaking about his team&rsquo;s return to IPL. The stellar return- 2018
It was after 6 seasons and 2 years of the ban that the MS Dhoni-led side recaptured Chennai&rsquo;s lost glory as the Yellow Army won their 3rd IPL in 2018.
