#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.

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.

#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.

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. CSK defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final by 8 wickets to clinch the 2018 title. CSK's Shane Watson emerged as the star of the show with a blazing 117* off 57 balls. &lsquo;Steve Smith replaces MSD as skipper&rsquo; 2017
For the first time, MS Dhoni was removed from the captaincy in 2017, with Rising Pune Supergiant wanting a &lsquo;youngster&rsquo; to lead the team instead of the Rachi-born cricketer. The captaincy duties were handed over to 27-year-old Steve Smith, who was also captaining the Australian team at that time. Dhoni&rsquo;s first IPL triumph&nbsp;
The 2010 win was not only their first but also their most special win. MSD's supremacy as a leader was again on display as he led a struggling Chennai to their first-ever IPL victory. Since then. Thala has won 3 more IPL editions &ndash; 2011, 2018 and 2021. In 2010 however, CSK somehow managed to qualify for the playoffs, but from there on they only rose upwards. They first defeated Deccan Chargers and then lifted the trophy by outfoxing Mumbai Indians in the epic final. 2008&rsquo;s most expensive buy
On April 19, 2008, MS Dhoni, the then most expensive IPL buy made his IPL debut as the skipper of Chennai Super Kings. While Super Kings won by 33 runs against the erstwhile Kings XI Punjab, Dhoni scored only 2 runs off 3 balls. Dhoni, who had led an unfancied Indian team to a T20 World Cup victory just the previous year in 2007 was the hottest buzz in the market. Chennai, who are still holding on to the 3-time World Cup winning Indian captain after 15-long years had bought the then 26-years old for 6 crores.
