Pakistan Salute Sanju Samson After Heroic Knock vs WI: "Bit Of Virat Kohli"

Sanju Samson is the toast of India after taking the side into the T20 World Cup semi-finals with a superlative 97* against West Indies on Sunday. From Sunil Gavaskar to Ravi Shastri , every Indian cricket expert applauded the maturity shown by Samson in leading a challenging 196-run chase against the two-time former champions. After not making it to the playing XI in most of the group-stage matches, Samson made full use of the opportunity on offer. Not just in India, Samson has found admirers in Pakistan too.

Iran Attacked Them, Now Arab Nations Want To Join The Fight: Trump

Arab nations that were initially reluctant to join the American-backed military campaign against Iran are now pushing to take an active role, and it was Iran's "surprising" actions. That is according to United States President Donald Trump, who told CNN on Monday that several Arab countries came under fire from Tehran and changed their position. "We were surprised. We told them, 'We've got this,' and now they want to fight. And they're aggressively fighting. They were going to be very little involved, and now they insist on being involved," Trump told CNN. Joint American and Israeli strikes on Iran over the weekend triggered a wide-ranging response from Tehran. Iran launched missiles and armed drones towards Tel Aviv and towards US military installations across the Middle East. Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed on the day 1 of those strikes. Exclusive: Will Iran Get To Pick Its Leader After Khamenei? What Israeli ...

Iran Sends Its Cheap And Best 'Shahed' Drones At Expensive Targets

The Shahed drone's biggest strength is that it is very cheap to build and deploy, but gives the effect of a much more powerful weapon than its size. Others may be forced to expend their pricey anti-drone missiles, making interception of the Shahed drones a costly affair. Most weaponised drones have range and weight limitations. The Shahed works around these by acting as a drone and a cruise missile rolled into one. The Shahed-136, for example, can reach a maximum of 2,500 km. Iran has been able to launch the Shahed drones from deep within its territory, far away from any prying eyes. This has ensured their survivability and unpredictableness. Its payload capability is also good, at par with its range strength. The Shahed drones fly at very low altitude, powered by a basic piston propulsion system. When these qualities are combined with its small radar signature, they are hard to detect in areas where the terrain is uneven. Some have called the Shahed drones' engine noise t...

How Friendly Chat On Train Led To SIM-Porting Nightmare For Delhi Woman

A friendly conversation on a train journey turned into a nightmare for a Delhi woman after a fellow passenger allegedly hijacked her SIM card to drain her credit cards. Delhi Police have arrested two brothers who specialised in stealing "Unique Porting Codes" (UPC) from unsuspecting travellers under the pretext of making an urgent phone call. The duo allegedly gained the trust of fellow passengers while travelling, stole their mobile phone porting codes, and drained their bank accounts. The investigation began following a complaint from Vandana Gupta, a resident of Rohini Sector 6. In January, while returning to Delhi from Kanpur with her son, she met a man named Sachin Gupta on the train. After gaining her trust during the journey, Sachin asked to borrow both Vandana's and her son's mobile phones on the pretext of making an urgent call. He returned the devices shortly after, but the damage was already done. On January 23, the victim realised something was wrong ...
