Rohit Sharma to miss the rest of the IPL? MI gives a hint

Team India management surely would not like to take a chance to hurry the&nbsp;limited-overs&nbsp;vice-captain as his presence in Team India is likely to be preferred over playing in the T20 league

Defending Champion and the most successful captain of the Indian Premier League Rohit&nbsp;Sharma is doubtful for the rest of the tournament as he is struggling with a hamstring injury. While his teammate&nbsp;Kieron&nbsp;Pollard downplayed the injury and said that the Hitman&nbsp;will be back soon to lead the&nbsp;Mumbai Indians, his omission from the team for the Australia tour now casts doubt about his availability. The BCCI confirmed that their medical team is monitoring both Ishant&nbsp;Sharma&nbsp;and Rohit&nbsp;Sharma's&nbsp;injury. Team India management surely would not like to take a chance to hurry the&nbsp;limited-overs&nbsp;vice-captain as his presence in Team India is likely to be preferred over playing in the T20 league.&nbsp;

Punjab & Kolkata battle for the 4th spot in IPL 2020

Coming from straight 4 consecutive wins, KL Rahul's&nbsp;men who are oozing confidence will look to overthrow Kolkata&nbsp;that is currently placed on the 4th spot

KXIP take on KKR in the decisive 4th spot battle 

In a&nbsp;decisive battle to conquer the 4th spot in the IPL&nbsp;Points Table, a formidable Kings XI Punjab will take on a reviving Kolkata&nbsp;Knight Riders on Monday at Sharjah. Coming from straight 4 consecutive wins, KL Rahul's&nbsp;men who are oozing confidence will look to overthrow Kolkata&nbsp;that is currently placed on the 4th spot. After their 59-run victory over Delhi Capitals, the resurgent&nbsp;Kolkata&nbsp;Knight Riders just like their last meet&nbsp;will make sure to overpower Punjab once more. But&nbsp;KKR's&nbsp;inconsistency might come to haunt them again if Eoin Morgan does not address&nbsp;his side's&nbsp;batting issues. While the match between both teams is expected to be nailbiting, the side that secures the match will definitely strengthen its position to qualify for the&nbsp;playoffs this season. Out of the 26 matches that both&nbsp;the teams have played so far in IPL's&nbsp;history, KKR&nbsp;has defeated Punjab in 18 of them.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Air Quality Index was at 254 in ITO and 246 in Patparganj in the morning, both in 'poor' category, as per Delhi Pollution Control Committee data.

The share of stubble burning in the neighbouring states of Punjab and Haryana in PM 2.5 levels rose to 15% on Wednesday, as compared to 8% the previous day.

Son Barron too had Covid, reveals Melania Trump

Barron Trump, the teenage son of US President Donald Trump and Melania Trump, contracted coronavirus after his parents tested positive but has since tested negative

Barron Trump, the teenage son of US President Donald Trump and Melania Trump, contracted coronavirus after his parents tested positive but has since tested negative, the First Lady has revealed.&nbsp;In a blog posted on the White House website, Melania said that 14-year-old Barron exhibited no symptoms, unlike herself and the president, who have both said they experienced mild symptoms.&nbsp;While Melania and Barron stayed at the White House, Trump had to spend four days at a military hospital to recover from the disease.

Washington, PTI: Barron Trump, the teenage son of US President Donald Trump and Melania Trump, contracted coronavirus after his parents tested positive but has since tested negative, the First Lady has revealed.
In a blog posted on the White House website, Melania said that 14-year-old Barron exhibited no symptoms, unlike herself and the president, who have both said they experienced mild symptoms.
Trump announced that he and the First Lady had tested positive in the early-morning hours on October 1, after the news that one of the president's closest aides Hope Hicks had contracted the virus. Both have now recovered from the disease.
"My fear came true when he was tested again and it came up positive. Luckily, he is a strong teenager and exhibited no symptoms. In one way I was glad the three of us went through this at the same time so we could take care of one another and spend time together. He has since tested negative," Melania said on Wednesday.
While Melania and Barron stayed at the White House, Trump had to spend three nights and four days at a military hospital to recover from the disease. The president is now back on his campaign trail.
Sharing her experience, Melania said that she was very fortunate as her diagnosis came with minimal symptoms, though they hit her all at once and it seemed to be a roller coaster of symptoms in the days after.
"I experienced body aches, a cough and headaches, and felt extremely tired most of the time. I chose to go a more natural route in terms of medicine, opting more for vitamins and healthy food. We had wonderful caretakers around us and we will be forever grateful for the medical care and professional discretion we received from Dr. Conley and his team," she said.
"It was an unfamiliar feeling for me to be the patient instead of a person trying to encourage our nation to stay healthy and safe. It was me being taken care of now, and getting first-hand experience with all that Covid-19 can do," she said.
"As the patient, and the person benefitting from so much medical support, I found myself even more grateful and in awe of caretakers and first responders everywhere. To the medical staff and the residence staff who have been taking care of our family&mdash;thank you doesn&rsquo;t say enough," she wrote in an essay entitled "My Personal Experience with Covid-19".
The First Lady encouraged everyone to continue to live the healthiest life they can. A balanced diet, fresh air, and vitamins really are vital to keep our bodies healthy, she said.

Part of a mission: Rajnath hits out at China amid Ladakh row

After Pakistan, China is also creating a dispute at the border with India as if it was part of a "mission", Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Monday, as Indian and Chinese troops remain locked in a standoff in eastern Ladakh for over five months

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Monday that after Pakistan, China is also creating a dispute at the border with India as if it was part of a "mission". His remark came as Indian and Chinese troops remain locked in a standoff in eastern Ladakh for over five months.&nbsp;The defence minister, speaking at an online event after inaugurating 44 bridges, said India is not only facing the situations along the frontiers resolutely, but it is also bringing in major development including in border areas. A majority of these bridges are expected to significantly improve movement of troops in areas along the border with China in Ladakh, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh sectors.
Rajnath&nbsp;slams China on Ladakh border dispute Part of China's mission to create dispute: Rajnath 'Major development along the frontiers with China' 44 bridges to improve troop movement: Rajnath

PTI,&nbsp;New Delhi: After Pakistan, China is also creating a dispute at the border with India as if it was part of a "mission", Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Monday, as Indian and Chinese troops remain locked in a standoff in eastern Ladakh for over five months.
The defence minister, speaking at an online event after inaugurating 44 bridges, said India is not only facing the situations along the frontiers resolutely, but it is also bringing in major development including in border areas.
"You are well aware of the conditions created along our northern and eastern borders. First it was Pakistan, and now also by China, as if a border dispute is being created under a mission. We have a border of about 7,000 km with these countries where the tension continues," Singh said.
The defence minister was speaking after inaugurating the bridges built in strategically key areas of Ladakh, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir.
A majority of these bridges are expected to significantly improve movement of troops in areas along the border with China in Ladakh, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh sectors, officials said.
Both India and China held a series of diplomatic and military talks to resolve the border standoff. However, no breakthrough has been achieved to defuse the situation.
Singh said in the challenging times of COVID-19 and despite the border tensions and disputes caused by Pakistan and China, the country was not only resolutely facing them but also bringing about historical changes in all sectors of development.
The defence minister also laid the foundation stone for Nechiphu Tunnel in Arunachal Pradesh. This 450 metre-long tunnel would ensure all-weather connectivity across Nechiphu pass.
The bridges inaugurated by Singh included 10 in Jammu and Kashmir, eight in Ladakh, two in Himachal Pradesh, four each in Punjab and Sikkim and eight each in Uttarakhand and Arunachal Pradesh.
In his address, Singh complimented the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) for their achievements in improving infrastructure in border areas and said that dedication of 44 bridges in one go in itself was a record.
He said the annual budget of BRO that varied from Rs 3,300 crore to Rs 4,600 crore in years between 2008 and 2016, saw a substantial rise and is pegged at over Rs 11,000 crore in 2020-21.
"There was no reduction of this budget despite COVID-19," he said Singh said construction of the bridges will benefit both the civilian population as well as the military in the areas.
"Our armed forces personnel are deployed in large numbers in areas where transport is not available throughout the year," he said, noting improvement in border infrastructure will significantly help armed forces.
"These roads are not only for strategic needs, but they also reflect equal participation of all stakeholders in the development of the nation," Singh said.
The defence minister praised the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) for working tirelessly even during the coronavirus-triggered lockdown period.
The defence ministry said despite unprecedented snowfall breaking a 60-year record, all strategic passes and roads were cleared for traffic about one month before their average yearly opening dates.
"I am happy to know that over 2,200 kilometers of roads have been cut by the BRO during the last two years, using the latest technologies, and state-of-the-art equipment. Also, surfacing was carried out on about 4200 kms of roads," he added.
Amid the border standoff with China, India is expediting work on several key projects including on a strategic road linking Darcha in Himachal Pradesh with Ladakh that will criss-cross a number of high-altitude snow-bound passes.
The nearly 290-km-long road will be crucial for the movement of troops and heavy weaponry into the frontier bases of the Ladakh region and will provide a crucial link to the Kargil region.&nbsp;

WHO's emergencies head says 1 in 10 people affected by COVID-19 

WHO's&nbsp;head of emergencies has said that best estimates indicate that approximately 1 in 10 people have&nbsp;been infected by the&nbsp;coronavirus&nbsp;across the globe

WHO's&nbsp;head of emergencies has said that best estimates indicate that approximately 1 in 10 people have&nbsp;been infected by the&nbsp;coronavirus&nbsp;across the globe.&nbsp;
Dr Michael Ryan, speaking at a meeting of the WHO&rsquo;s 34-member executive board focusing on&nbsp;Covid-19, said the figures vary from urban to rural, and between different groups, but that ultimately it means &ldquo;the vast majority of the world remains at risk.&rdquo;
The estimates&nbsp;stated by Ryan would amount to more than 760 million people based on the current world population of about 7.6 billion. This figure is far more than the number of confirmed cases as tallied by both WHO and Johns Hopkins University, now more than 35 million worldwide.

KL Rahul vs MS Dhoni: both looking to turn their fortunes

Both KL Rahul and MS Dhoni&nbsp;will look to turn their fortunes around when Kings XI Punjab take on the Chennai Super&nbsp;Kings in the 2nd game of a double-header Sunday.

Both KL Rahul and MS Dhoni&nbsp;will look to turn their fortunes around when Kings XI Punjab take on the Chennai Super&nbsp;Kings in the 2nd game of a double-header Sunday. Both teams are off to a horrid start and have lost 3 of their 4 games so far. While Punjab were unlucky on 2 of those occasions, Chennai has failed to find a winning combination. It's not often that the yellow brigade doesn't start off well but they find themselves in a sticky situation this time around are languishing at the bottom of the table. On the other hand, openers have fired for Punjab but their middle and lower order has failed on almost all the occasions. History too favours the Super Kings as they enjoy a 13-9 head-to-head record vs Kings XI, something which may motivate them to stage a comeback.

NYT claims tycoon Trump paid just $750 in taxes

The New York Times has reported that Trump paid just $750 in federal income tax both in 2016, the year he ran for the US presidency, and in his first year in the White House

Donald Trump may&nbsp;have been a real estate tycoon before becoming the US president, but guess how much he paid in taxes? The New York Times has reported that Trump paid just $750 in federal income tax both in 2016, the year he ran for the US presidency, and in his first year in the White House. The newspaper, which says it obtained tax records for Trump and his companies over two decades, has also claimed that he paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the last 15 years. The records reveal "chronic losses and years of tax avoidance", the NYT report said. Trump has dismissed the report as "fake news".
