Ahead of the war in Iran, China aggressively added to its oil reserves, more than any other country, according to the United States government data released this week. "Prior to the Iran conflict, preliminary government data indicate that China has continued building inventories in 2026," the article stated. The New York Times reported earlier in the month that China imported 15.8 per cent more oil in January and February compared to the same period last year. "Oil stockpiling has been taking place for a while now, and Chinese regulators were already preparing for geopolitical tensions to arise from the Trump administration," Cosimo Ries, an energy analyst at Trivium China told the publication. According to the US Energy Information Administration, China had nearly 1.4 billion barrels of oil put aside compared to 1.2 billion barrels among 32 members of the International Energy Agency (IEA). Of these, the US has 413 million barrels. Moreover, the US has been dra...

Spencer Johnson is poised to take centre stage for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their critical bottom-of-the-table match against Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday. Bowling coach Eric Simmons hinted at Johnson's potential inclusion due to Khaleel Ahmed's injury. Khaleel had to leave the field before finishing his overs in CSK's last game against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). This situation led the team to consider Johnson, who was signed for Rs 1.5 crore as a replacement in their bowling lineup. His addition comes at a time when injuries have heavily impacted Chennai's season. “Khaleel Ahmed & Anshul Kamboj have been really good for us. Spencer Johnson (Khaleel's replacement) will be in our starting XI tomorrow night," Simmons said on the eve of the match. CSK has faced challenges all season, starting with three straight losses to Rajasthan Royals, Punjab Kings, and Royal Challengers Bengalu...

Iran's judiciary denied on Tuesday that eight women arrested over protests that shook the Islamic republic this year were at risk of execution, after US President Donald Trump urged Tehran to release them to help negotiations. Rights groups have said at least one woman arrested over the January protests has been sentenced to death while at least one more is facing charges that carry the death penalty and could see her executed. "Trump was misled once again by fake news," the judiciary's official Mizan Online website said. "The women who were claimed to be on the verge of execution, some of them have been released, while others face charges that, if convictions are upheld, would at most result in imprisonment." Trump had earlier said on social media that the women's release could work in Iran's favour in negotiations, re-posting an activist's claim that eight women were facing death by hanging. That claim did not give names but included photogr...

An NRI who recently completed their master's degree and landed a $120,000 (Rs 1.12 crore) job offer in the US said they wanted to return to India as soon as possible. In a social media post, the user detailed that they received the job offer in Austin, Texas, but wanted to return home due to depression caused by the loneliness of living in a foreign land. "Hey guys, need a help badly. I'm about to finish my MS from Indiana. Got 120k (100k base) offer in Austin. I have about 40k dollar loan pending," the user said in a Reddit post. The NRI sought the internet's help on how to go about the transition and asked how much they needed to save before leaving the US. "I'm too depressed right now and just want to save as much as possible before returning. Could someone give me rough estimate about how much will I have in-hand & how much can I save roughly in 3/4 years?" Check The Post Here: Posts from the developersindia community on Reddit Also R...

India and Russia can now share army bases, ports, and air bases and station up to 3,000 military personnel in each other's territory, as the Indo-Russian Reciprocal Exchange of Logistics Agreement (RELOS) - signed between New Delhi and Moscow in February 2025 - has become operational. The pact was signed in Moscow to boost military cooperation and logistics support between India and one of its most reliable allies. The agreement, under which India and Moscow agreed to station five battleships, ten fighter planes and 3,000 soldiers on each other's soil, will remain in effect for 5 years and can be extended, reported the Russian news agency, Sputnik. The bilateral agreement extends India's strategic reach to the Arctic region -- which is fast becoming the global maritime hotspot, as Russia and China have been increasing their presence in the vast maritime wilderness. New Delhi will be able to access the massive ports in Russia's Murmansk and Severomorsk. Moscow is eye...

Royal Challengers Bengaluru's director of cricket Mo Bobat on Saturday said the team will make an "honest review" of the close six-wicket defeat against Delhi Capitals, but will not "over-analyse" the result. The Royal Challengers crashed to their second defeat of the IPL 2026 after their batters produced a rather insipid effort in a total of 175 for six. "Yeah, we probably weren't as fluent as we normally are. Obviously, we've been a pretty strong batting unit so far in the games gone. I wouldn't over-analyse that too much. We'll review honestly like we always do," said Bobat in the post-match press conference. "We'll always consider things that we did well and things that we could improve. Ultimately, we've been batting very well through this competition. So, we'll take some learning from this game and then we'll try and get back into our normal groove in the next one," he added. Bobat candidly admitted tha...

In a rare incident, Chennai Super Kings gained one spot in the points table of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 despite losing a game to Sunrisers Hyderabad. Ahead of the match, CSK held the eighth position in the points table, and the result of the match saw them rise to number seven. The Ruturaj Gaikwad-led side suffered a 10-run defeat at the hands of SRH at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad, on Saturday night. Ideally, a team would slip or stay in the same spot after suffering a loss, but an unusual incident took place with CSK. This is how it happened. Before the match, CSK held the eighth spot with four points and a net run rate (NRR) of -0.846. After the narrow defeat, CSK's NRR improved to -0.780. The change in NRR saw CSK replace Lucknow Super Giants at number seven. LSG too have four points to their credit. Their NRR of -0.804 is now poorer than that of CSK. Sri Lankan pacer Eshan Malinga's pinpoint yorkers found perfect support in unheralded ...

Virat Kohli 's Royal Challengers Bengaluru could not register a win at their home ground, the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, in an IPL 2026 match against Delhi Capitals on Saturday. RCB scored 175/8 in 20 overs while batting first. In reply, DC chased down the target in 19.5 overs. During the IPL clash against Delhi Capitals (DC) in Bengaluru, Virat Kohli scored 19 off 13 balls, hitting three fours at a strike rate of over 146. While the score was modest, his attacking intent was clearly visible. Kohli has developed a more aggressive approach in the Indian Premier League (IPL) over the years, marked by a significant rise in his attacking-shot percentage from 2021 to the current season. Apart from his aggressive batting strategy, Kohli has remained sharp in the field. During the RCB vs DC match, he insisted on a DRS review off Bhuvneshwar Kumar 's bowling after the umpire had adjudged opener Pathum Nissanka not out. Kohli could be heard insisting, "Out hai." The review prov...

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has pushed back against Anthropic boss Dario Amodei's comments that selling AI chips to China was like selling nukes to North Korea, calling the analogy "lunacy." In a wide-ranging interview with podcaster Dwarkesh Patel, Huang argued that "victimising" China or treating the nation as an "enemy" was a flawed strategy. He emphasised that China already possesses the domestic capacity and computing power to be a major player in the AI race, suggesting that isolationist policies might be counterproductive. Following intense lobbying by Huang, the Trump administration authorised sales of NVIDIA's H-200 chips to China, reversing earlier Biden-era national security restrictions. The approval permits sales of these high-end, yet older-generation, processors, provided that the US government receives a 25 per cent fee on all sales. Playing the 'devil's advocate', Patel asked Huang what would happen in the hypothetical sc...

International Cricket Council (ICC) chairman Jay Shah and former Indian cricket team skipper Sourav Ganguly were spotted watching the IPL 2026 match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Gujarat Titans from the stands at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday. It came as a surprise to many people that the duo was not in the VIP area and was seated with the fans during the match. High-profile attendees are not a surprise during IPL matches, but it is not common for them to be seated among the general crowd. Social media users were left impressed by Ganguly and Shah ditching 'VIP culture'. A superb recovery led by Cameron Green 's 79 off 55 balls was undone by a dramatic late-order collapse as Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) were bowled out for 180 in their 20 overs against Gujarat Titans (GT).
