India pacer Arshdeep Singh is on the verge of creating history in T20 International cricket, with the left-arm fast bowler just two wickets away from becoming the first Indian to claim 150 wickets in the format.Arshdeep will have an opportunity to reach the landmark when India take on New Zealand in the third T20I of the five-match series at Wellington's Hnry Stadium on Tuesday. India enter the contest with a 2-0 lead and will look to secure the series with another victory.The 27-year-old has taken 148 wickets in 101 T20I matches at an average of 20.41 and an economy rate of 8.65. His tally also includes a five-wicket haul, underlining his consistency as one of India's leading wicket-taking options in the shortest format.Arshdeep currently leads India's wicket-taking charts in T20Is and ranks 10th on the all-time list. He has also made a promising start to the ongoing series against New Zealand, claiming three wickets across the first two matches.Since making his international debut during India's tour of England in 2022, Arshdeep has established himself as a key member of the team's pace attack.His performances against the West Indies, where he picked up seven wickets in five matches, helped strengthen his case for selection in India's squad for the 2022 Asia Cup. He also impressed in the continental tournament, finishing among India's leading wicket-takers.Known for his effectiveness in the death overs, Arshdeep has built his reputation around accurate yorkers, variations and the ability to handle pressure in the closing stages of an innings.His left-arm angle has also provided India with a valuable option in the pace department, particularly in T20 cricket, where controlling the scoring rate during the final overs is crucial.<h2>India look to seal T20I series against New Zealand</h2>India will aim to extend their lead and clinch the five-match T20I series when they face New Zealand in the third match.Having won the opening two encounters, the visitors have put themselves in a strong position against the side that finished runner-up at the 2026 T20 World Cup.India have also managed to build momentum despite the absence of pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah and all-rounder Hardik Pandya.With the series on the line, the third T20I presents Arshdeep with an opportunity to combine a match-winning performance with a historic individual achievement. Two more wickets would see him become the first Indian bowler to reach 150 T20I wickets, adding another milestone to his growing international career.

Arshdeep Singh is just two wickets away from becoming the first Indian bowler to claim 150 T20I wickets ahead of the third match against New Zealand. The left-arm pacer has already established himself as a key performer for India, including taking 17 wickets at the 2024 T20 World Cup.

Jerusalem: Making a final appeal to Israeli voters ahead of October 27 polls, the country’s first general election since the Hamas-led attack of October 7, 2023, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that his opponents could bring a dangerous left-wing government to power.A total of 7,331,981 eligible voters are expected to choose among candidates from 34 parties competing for seats in the Knesset (Israel’s parliament). The result will decide whether Netanyahu can secure another term or whether an Opposition alliance led by former Israel Defence Forces (IDF) chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot can form the next government.The election is taking place as Israelis are divided over responsibility for the October 7 attack, which exposed serious security failures, and the independence of the country’s democratic institutions and judiciary.Netanyahu, who has served as prime minister for 19 years across multiple terms, has led his coalition government through a full four-year term, an uncommon achievement in Israel’s unstable political system. He now faces a strong challenge from Eisenkot’s Yashar party, which has led several opinion polls, along with three other Zionist Opposition parties.Naftali Bennett’s B’Yachad, Avigdor Liberman’s Yisrael Beytenu and Yair Golan’s Democrats have joined Eisenkot’s party in challenging the Likud-led bloc. Polls suggest that the four Opposition parties could collectively win more seats than Netanyahu’s alliance. However, neither side is projected to secure the 61 seats needed for a majority in the 120-member Knesset.<h2>National security warning</h2>Netanyahu has sought to present the election as a choice between his leadership and a left-leaning government that could depend on Arab parties for support. He has argued that such an alliance would be dangerous for Israel.“Israel’s enemies want us to lose because that would pave the way for a dangerous left-wing government led by Eisenkot and Lieberman, with Yair Golan and the Arab parties. The way to stop them is to go out and vote only Likud,” he posted in a late-night message on Monday on X.The Opposition has built its campaign around accountability for the October 7 attack and a demand for an independent commission of inquiry into the security failures that preceded it. Eisenkot, a former military chief regarded as a security hawk, has accused Netanyahu of putting his political interests ahead of the country’s security.“Benjamin Netanyahu will conclude his role immediately following the election results that will take place tomorrow and the establishment of the next government, which will be carried out expeditiously. We will ensure that this is how it will be. The people of Israel will elect a prime minister whose considerations will always be for the good of Israel, who will never act out of political interests at the expense of Israel's security and the fighters of the IDF,” he wrote in his final message ahead of Tuesday’s vote.Liberman has also urged voters to back a change in leadership, presenting the election as an opportunity to build a stronger and more equal state.Posting a picture with his grandson on the eve of polling, Liberman called for equal military or civilian service, civil marriages and a common core curriculum in schools. He said he wanted his grandson to grow up in a “thriving, Zionist, sane, and strong State of Israel” and urged voters to turn out for the sake of future generations.Golan has called for an independent inquiry into the October 7 attack as part of his election campaign. He has accused Netanyahu’s government of resisting an independent investigation and seeking a politically appointed commission.“Only a true vote will ensure both Netanyahu's replacement and the replacement of his path. Only a big Democratic bloc will guarantee that we replace the prime minister and that there will truly be a government of change. Netanyahu’s government has resisted establishing such a commission – saying a politically appointed commission should be formed instead – while the prime minister has declined to accept personal responsibility for the failures on his watch,” he said on the eve of the election.<h2>Hung parliament could lead to another election</h2>The Opposition’s collective lead in opinion polls does not guarantee that it will form a government. Neither political bloc is expected to win the 61 seats needed for a majority. Coalition talks and the choices made by smaller parties could determine who forms the next government.Senior journalist Yaron Decel told ANI in Jerusalem that Opposition parties share a common goal of replacing Netanyahu, despite their differences on other issues.“Mr. Netanyahu is a controversial prime minister for a very long time. So, people here and we see the Opposition bloc, the glue between the four parties is to try to replace the government of Mr. Netanyahu with a new government. Mr. Netanyahu has served as the prime minister the longest time ever, 19 years, not consecutive terms. And he is very controversial. And the bloc that is against Mr. Netanyahu would like him to be removed and replaced,” he said.He predicted three possible outcomes. The first is a failure by both blocs to form a government, which could force Israel to hold another election within around four months. The second is a minority government led by Eisenkot’s Opposition alliance, with Arab parties abstaining during a confidence vote. The third is a national unity government involving Netanyahu and Eisenkot.Senior journalist Yaron Decel told ANI that the election could lead to three possible outcomes, as neither bloc is expected to win the 61 seats needed for a majority in the 120-member Knesset.“One, that nobody will be able to form a government,” he said. This could force Israel to hold another election in around four months if parliament fails to produce a stable government.The second possibility is a minority government led by Eisenkot’s Opposition bloc. Decel said the bloc could win around 56 seats, while the opposing side could secure 52. If two Arab parties abstain, the Opposition could gain enough votes to form a minority government.The third option is a national unity government involving Netanyahu and Eisenkot. “There is no bad blood among the two gentlemen, and they have to find a way to form such a government,” Decel said.He added that a unity government could serve Israel’s interests given its ongoing wrs with Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis.<h2>How Israel will form its next government</h2>After the votes are counted, President Isaac Herzog will consult the leaders of the elected parties before asking the lawmaker he believes has the best chance of forming a government to take the lead. That candidate will have 28 days to assemble a coalition, with a possible 14-day extension.If the first attempt fails, another party leader may receive 28 days to form a government, without an extension. If that effort also falls short, a majority of 61 lawmakers can ask the president to assign the task to a particular member of parliament within a further 21-day period.A government must secure the support of a majority of Knesset members voting to take office. A minority government can also be approved if abstentions leave it with more votes in favour than against, even when it has fewer than 61 supporters.If all attempts to form a government fail, Israel will have to hold another election. Netanyahu would continue as caretaker prime minister until a new government takes office.

He faces a challenge from four Opposition parties demanding accountability for the October 7 attack. With neither bloc projected to win a majority, coalition negotiations, a possible minority government and the prospect of another election could determine Israel’s political future.

Based on the latest data, DA for employees and pensioners is expected to increase by 3-4 percentage points to 63 or 64 percent for the July cycle.The 12 months of AICPI-IW figures needed to calculate the July 2026 DA revision are now complete.

Washington DC: US President Donald Trump has announced a $1 million reward for evidence of voter fraud in past elections and the upcoming 2026 midterm polls. The reward will be paid only after the arrest and conviction of those responsible.He made the announcement in a post on Truth Social while reiterating his allegations of irregularities in the US electoral process."Anybody reporting Voter Fraud in the past Elections, or the upcoming 2026 Midterm Election, will be paid $1,000,000 upon the arrest and conviction of those that created the Fraud! Thank you for your attention to this matter," he wrote.<iframe class="truthsocial-embed" style="border-width:0;max-width:100%;" src="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/117508870323063258/embed" width="600" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><script src="https://truthsocial.com/embed.js" async="async"></script>Trump made the offer ahead of the November 3 midterm elections, which will determine control of both chambers of the US Congress and influence his legislative agenda for the next two years.<h2>Why midterm elections are important</h2>The elections take place halfway through a US president's four-year term. Voters will decide all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and roughly one-third of the Senate, along with several state and local offices across the country.The results will determine the balance of power in Congress and influence how easily the Trump administration can advance its legislative agenda. The party controlling each chamber has considerable influence over legislation, government spending and congressional investigations.The elections also serve as a measure of public support for the incumbent president and his administration. The outcome can affect the political calculations of both parties ahead of the next presidential election.Trump made the offer as Republicans prepare to defend their congressional seats while voters face economic difficulties and the president's approval ratings fall. The results will offer an indication of how voters view his presidency as the administration approaches the second half of its term.<h2>Trump's approval rating</h2>A September poll by The Wall Street Journal puts Trump's approval rating at 37 per cent, the lowest for a president approaching midterm elections in the publication's polling history, which dates back to 1990.The poll result adds to the challenges facing Republicans as they seek to retain control of the Congress. The party's performance will determine the legislative room available to the president for the remainder of his term.Voters across the country will elect members of the Congress on November 3, and the results will determine the administration's priorities and the balance of political power in Washington.

The offer requires evidence to lead to an arrest and conviction.

Strength and leadership work best when balanced with patience and understanding.Today's Message: Take responsibility for your goals, create a clear plan and lead with confidence without becoming rigid.<a href="https://english.zeenews.com/astrology/article-horoscope-today-october-27-2026-by-astrologer-sundeep-kochar-libra-your-surroundings-influence-your-mood-3160649">ALSO READ | Horoscope today, October 27, 2026, by Astrologer Sundeep Kochar: Libra, your surroundings influence your mood</a>Taurus — Ace of PentaclesThe Ace of Pentacles represents new opportunities connected with money, career, stability and long-term growth. Monday may bring an idea, conversation or possibility that deserves your attention. You may come across a practical way to improve your financial position, develop a professional skill or begin working towards a more stable future. The opportunity may initially appear small, but consistent effort could help it grow into something valuable. This card encourages you to recognise promising possibilities while taking the time to understand their practical benefits.Professionally, you may feel motivated to explore a new project, consider a job opportunity or discuss an idea that could support your career development. If an opportunity comes your way, examine the details rather than dismissing it because it seems unfamiliar. Financially, focus on realistic planning, savings and decisions that support long-term security. Avoid assuming that every promising offer will automatically lead to success; careful evaluation remains essential. In relationships, stability and dependability may matter more than dramatic gestures. Small, thoughtful actions can help strengthen trust and create a greater sense of security with loved ones.Today's Message: Stay alert to practical opportunities, evaluate them carefully and take the first step towards building lasting stability.Gemini — Eight of WandsThe Eight of Wands represents speed, movement, communication and developments that begin progressing quickly. Monday could bring a busy schedule filled with messages, calls, discussions or tasks that require your attention. Something that has been delayed may begin moving forward, or you may receive information that helps you decide what to do next. Your ability to communicate clearly and respond efficiently will be particularly useful. However, a fast-moving day can also become overwhelming if you try to handle everything at once.Professionally, this card favours networking, follow-ups, presentations and conversations about pending work. You may find that timely communication helps move a project closer to completion. Make sure you check important details before sending messages or confirming commitments, especially when working under pressure. Financially, avoid rushing into purchases or decisions simply because an opportunity appears time-sensitive. In relationships, quick conversations can help clear up minor misunderstandings, but do not let a packed schedule prevent you from giving people your full attention. If several responsibilities arrive together, prioritise the most important ones instead of spreading your energy too thin.Today's Message: Use your momentum wisely, communicate clearly and stay organised even when things begin moving quickly.Cancer — The High PriestessThe High Priestess represents intuition, inner wisdom, observation and the importance of understanding what lies beneath the surface. Monday may encourage you to slow down and pay closer attention to your thoughts and feelings before making personal decisions. You may sense that a situation needs more time or that you do not yet have all the information required to reach a conclusion. Rather than feeling pressured to respond immediately, allow yourself the space to observe, reflect and understand what is happening.Professionally, this card suggests listening carefully during discussions and gathering the necessary information before committing to a decision. You may benefit from working quietly on a plan rather than sharing every idea before it is fully developed. Financially, review the details of any proposal and avoid relying entirely on assumptions or someone else's assurances. In relationships, your sensitivity may help you recognise emotional changes, but it is important not to confuse intuition with fear or speculation. If something is bothering you, a calm and honest conversation may provide more clarity than silently analysing every possibility. Time spent in reflection can help you approach the situation with greater confidence.Today's Message: Trust your inner voice, observe carefully and combine intuition with facts before making important decisions.Leo — The MagicianThe Magician represents skill, confidence, resourcefulness and the ability to turn ideas into action. Monday may remind you that you already possess many of the abilities needed to make progress towards your goals. Instead of waiting for perfect circumstances, consider how you can use your existing knowledge, experience and connections to create an opportunity. A conversation, professional idea or personal initiative may become more promising when you approach it with clarity and preparation. This card encourages you to recognise your potential and use it purposefully.Professionally, The Magician supports presentations, negotiations, creative projects and situations where communication and problem-solving are important. You may find a way to present your ideas more effectively or use a particular skill to stand out. Financially, focus on practical ways to manage your resources or develop an idea that could support future growth. Be realistic about what you can achieve, and avoid making promises that are difficult to fulfil. In relationships, honest communication can help you express your needs and strengthen mutual understanding. Your confidence may attract attention, but genuine connection depends on sincerity rather than trying to impress others.Today's Message: Make the most of your skills, communicate with confidence and turn your ideas into practical action.Virgo — King of PentaclesThe King of Pentacles represents financial stability, practical judgement, responsibility and long-term success. Monday may encourage you to take a more organised approach to money, work and future planning. You may feel motivated to review your priorities, assess your progress or identify ways to make your current position more secure. This card favours steady, realistic decisions over quick gains. It reminds you that lasting success is often built through consistency, patience and a willingness to think beyond immediate rewards.Professionally, this is a favourable energy for reviewing your career goals, managing responsibilities and considering how your skills can contribute to long-term growth. Your practical approach may help you handle a complicated task or make a more informed decision. Financially, budgeting, reviewing savings and planning upcoming expenses can be useful. If you are considering a significant purchase or financial commitment, weigh the benefits against the long-term cost. In relationships, reliability and thoughtful support can strengthen bonds. However, remember that emotional needs are just as important as practical responsibilities. Make time for meaningful conversations rather than assuming that providing stability is the only way to show care.Today's Message: Think long term, manage your resources carefully and let practical decisions support your future security.Libra — Queen of SwordsThe Queen of Swords represents clarity, independence, honesty and the ability to establish healthy boundaries. Monday may encourage you to look at a situation more objectively and recognise what needs to change. You may feel less willing to tolerate confusion, unclear expectations or commitments that take too much of your time and energy. This card supports making thoughtful decisions based on facts rather than allowing guilt, pressure or the desire to please everyone to influence your choices. Being considerate does not mean you must ignore your own needs.Professionally, clear communication will be important, especially when discussing responsibilities, deadlines or expectations with colleagues. If a situation has become complicated, address the issue directly and focus on finding a workable solution. Financially, read the details of agreements carefully and avoid making commitments simply to keep others happy. In relationships, you may need to express your feelings or establish a boundary that helps maintain mutual respect. Be honest without becoming unnecessarily harsh. You can communicate firmly while still allowing room for another person's perspective. The goal is not to create distance but to build relationships based on clarity and understanding.Today's Message: Speak honestly, protect your boundaries and make decisions with clarity rather than pressure.Scorpio — The ChariotThe Chariot represents determination, focus, discipline and forward movement. Monday may motivate you to take charge of a situation that has been delayed or difficult to manage. If you have been waiting for progress, this card encourages you to identify what is within your control and take practical steps towards your goal. You may need to balance competing responsibilities or resist distractions that have been slowing you down. The key is to remain committed to your direction without allowing frustration to dictate your actions.Professionally, The Chariot supports focused effort, decisive planning and the determination to overcome obstacles. You may find it easier to move a pending task forward when you establish clear priorities and follow through consistently. Financially, avoid impulsive decisions made out of impatience. A structured approach to your spending and savings can help you maintain control. In relationships, your determination can be helpful when resolving a problem, but avoid treating every disagreement as something you must win. Cooperation is often more effective than trying to control every outcome. If you feel pulled in different directions, return to your main priorities and take one step at a time.Today's Message: Stay focused on your goals, manage distractions and move forward with determination and emotional balance.Sagittarius — Wheel of FortuneThe Wheel of Fortune represents change, shifting circumstances, unexpected developments and new possibilities. Monday may bring a change in plans, an unexpected conversation or an opportunity that encourages you to look at a situation differently. Something that has felt uncertain could begin to move in a new direction, although the outcome may not be immediately clear. This card reminds you that life does not always follow a fixed timeline. Remaining flexible can help you recognise possibilities that you might otherwise overlook.Professionally, you may hear about a new opening, receive an update on a pending matter or discover an alternative route towards a goal. Stay receptive to developments, but evaluate opportunities carefully before making commitments. Financially, avoid relying on luck alone or assuming that a sudden opportunity guarantees success. Thoughtful planning remains important even when circumstances appear favourable. In relationships, changing perspectives can help you understand another person more clearly. If plans with loved ones shift unexpectedly, try to adapt without becoming unnecessarily frustrated. Not every change will be within your control, but your response can influence how effectively you handle it.Today's Message: Stay flexible, recognise emerging opportunities and respond to change with an open mind and practical judgement.Capricorn — Eight of PentaclesThe Eight of Pentacles represents dedication, skill development, concentration and the value of consistent effort. Monday may encourage you to focus on improving your work and strengthening the abilities that support your professional growth. You may feel motivated to complete a pending assignment, learn something useful or refine a process that could make your work more effective. This card highlights the importance of patience: meaningful progress often comes from repeating small actions and learning from experience rather than expecting immediate results.Professionally, this is a good day to concentrate on quality, organisation and the details that contribute to successful outcomes. If you have been considering a course or a new skill, think about how it could support your longer-term goals. Financially, steady effort and sensible planning are more helpful than looking for quick gains. You may benefit from reviewing how your current habits support your future security. In relationships, remember that dedication should not be limited to work. Making time for family, friends or a partner can help maintain balance. If you have been too occupied with responsibilities, a small but thoughtful gesture may help someone close feel appreciated.Today's Message: Focus on improving your skills, remain consistent in your efforts and give both work and relationships the attention they deserve.Aquarius — The FoolThe Fool represents new beginnings, curiosity, freedom and the willingness to explore unfamiliar possibilities. Monday may bring a fresh idea or inspire you to reconsider a plan that no longer feels right. You may feel ready to try a different approach, learn something new or explore an opportunity outside your usual routine. This card encourages you to remain open to experiences that could expand your perspective. You do not need to have every detail figured out before taking the first step, but you should understand the risks involved in important decisions.Professionally, you may begin thinking about a new project, a different working style or a career direction that feels more aligned with your interests. Use your curiosity to explore the possibilities before committing. Financially, avoid making impulsive purchases or taking unnecessary risks simply because something seems exciting. In relationships, a relaxed attitude and a willingness to understand different perspectives can bring freshness to your interactions. If you have been feeling stuck in a routine, consider introducing a small change rather than making a sudden, sweeping decision. A thoughtful beginning can be just as valuable as a dramatic leap.Today's Message: Be open to new experiences, take the first step with confidence and balance spontaneity with sensible planning.Pisces — Ace of CupsThe Ace of Cups represents emotional renewal, love, compassion and the opportunity to reconnect with yourself and others. Monday may encourage you to pay greater attention to your emotional needs and make room for experiences that bring you peace. You may feel more willing to express affection, have an honest conversation or reconnect with someone who matters to you. This card also highlights self-care: if you have been giving too much of your energy to other people, it may be time to restore your own emotional balance.Professionally, a fresh perspective or a supportive interaction may help you feel more connected to your work. If you have been considering a creative idea, give yourself permission to explore it without immediately judging the outcome. Financially, try to avoid spending money purely to improve your mood. Look for healthy and sustainable ways to feel comfortable and secure. In love, the Ace of Cups encourages emotional openness and genuine affection. Couples may find it helpful to express appreciation more clearly, while single Pisces may feel ready to open their hearts to a new connection. Whatever your relationship status, remember that emotional well-being also depends on treating yourself with kindness.Today's Message: Make space for emotional renewal, express your feelings sincerely and care for yourself as thoughtfully as you care for others.Overall Tarot Message for 26 October 2026The tarot cards for Monday highlight the importance of combining ambition with awareness.

Dialogue of the Day: Chuck is sitting with Stan in Memphis with a drink in his hand. He has done what nobody expected and gotten back, but the woman he came back for has built a new life. He has just lost Kelly a second time. Stan asks him how he is going to cope, and Chuck gives an answer that has nothing to do with being strong.Dialogue of the Day“I know what I have to do now. I’ve got to keep breathing, because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?” - Chuck Noland, Cast AwayWhat does the dialogue mean?On the island, Chuck survived by finding the smallest reason to keep going. This line is the same instinct, brought home. He cannot fix what has happened and he cannot make Kelly his again. What he can do is keep breathing and stay open to whatever arrives next.The sun and the tide are chosen carefully. Both are things nobody controls, and both keep coming back. He is not claiming that his luck will turn or that things will be fine. He is saying the future is unknown, and that an unknown future is not the same thing as a bad one.That is what makes the line feel honest. He is still sad, and he says so. He tells Stan that he is grateful Kelly was with him on the island and that he is sad to have lost her again. The hope comes without pretending the loss did not happen.It helps anyone who feels stuck in the middle of something hard. You do not have to know what happens next, or feel better today. You only have to keep going long enough for tomorrow to arrive. The sun does not need your permission.About Cast AwayReleased in 2000 and directed by Robert Zemeckis, Cast Away follows Chuck Noland, a FedEx systems engineer whose plane crashes in the Pacific and leaves him stranded on a deserted island for four years. Tom Hanks plays Chuck and Helen Hunt plays Kelly, with the screenplay by William Broyles Jr. The film is remembered for Hanks’s mostly solo performance and for its quiet final act, which shows that coming home can be just as hard as surviving.

Dialogue of the day: Chuck Noland survived four years alone on a island, and then he came home to find that his life had moved on without him. Cast Away saves its most hopeful line for that moment, when things have gone wrong all over again.

Dialogue of the day from Cast Away, ‘Tomorrow the sun will rise...’

Quote of the day: We often waste our independence by relying too heavily on external validation and the expectations of others, gradually losing touch with our true identity. Vijay Deverakonda’s perspective on self-reliance grounds an authentic mindset into an actionable philosophy for personal freedom.<h2>Quote of the day</h2>“The more you are dependent on other people, the less you are like yourself.” — Vijay Deverakonda<h2>Meaning behind the quote</h2>The core of this statement lies in the absolute importance of self-reliance, individuality, and personal autonomy. By emphasising that heavy dependence on others chips away at one's true identity, the quote highlights that genuine confidence and self-expression are built by trusting your own judgment rather than relying on external approval.The highlight of his statement lies in viewing self-worth through an internally driven, authentic lens. Rather than shaping decisions around the comfort or expectations of peers, this philosophy frames self-reliance and emotional independence as the ultimate foundation for staying true to who you are.The directive to limit dependency reinforces that your individuality is your most precious asset. True authenticity isn't sustained by leaning on others for direction or validation; it is forged by taking ownership of your path, trusting your instinct, and standing firm in your unique character.For anyone seeking motivation or a reset today, the message serves as a reminder that your identity is far too valuable to be handed over to external influences. Reclaiming your independence and choosing to rely on yourself is entirely within your control.<h2>About Vijay Deverakonda</h2>Vijay Deverakonda is a prominent Indian actor and producer primarily known for his work in Telugu cinema. Rising to massive stardom with groundbreaking performances in films like Arjun Reddy, Geetha Govindam, and Dear Comrade, he has established himself as one of the most dynamic and influential youth icons of modern Indian cinema.

Chennaiyin then brought on Lalhriatpuia Chawngthu and S Prakadeswaran for Ayush Chhetri and Yadwad, respectively.The game remained finely balanced as Nawaz kept out attempts from Erwin and Manvir, while Chennaiyin continued to threaten on the counter.Stojanović came closest to breaking the deadlock when his left-footed effort, set up by Prakadeswaran, struck the crossbar. Kaith then made another important save to deny the Chennaiyin midfielder as the visitors pressed for a goal.Bagan introduced Liston Colaço and Abhishek Suryavanshi for Deepak Tangri and Dražić in the closing stages, and the changes paid off almost immediately.Colaco delivered a cross into the box and Manvir finished from close range with his chest to put The Mariners ahead in the 85th minute.

In politics, the words leaders choose and the timing of their remarks can shape public debate. Ahead of the Uttar Pradesh elections, AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi has repeatedly invoked the name Abdul while speaking about Muslim political representation. Across the Atlantic, US President Donald Trump has also been mentioning Abdul, referring to Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan ahead of the US midterm elections.In today’s episode of DNA, Rahul Sinha, Managing Editor of Zee News, conducted a detailed analysis of how the name Abdul has become a political talking point in two countries, and how political leaders are using it to reach voters and challenge their opponents.<h2>Why Owaisi is invoking Abdul in Uttar Pradesh</h2>AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi has begun campaigning in Uttar Pradesh even before the Assembly election schedule has been announced. He has been holding public meetings in Muslim-majority areas, speaking about Muslim interests and the need to increase the community’s political representation.In his speeches, Owaisi has repeatedly used the phrase that Abdul will no longer lay out the carpets. The remark draws on a political slogan that became prominent during the December 2022 by-election in the Rampur Assembly constituency.During the campaign, the then Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak said at a public meeting, “Tell Bade Miyan that Abdul will no longer fill his hookah.”Later, Fasahat Ali Khan Shanu, a former media adviser to Azam Khan who joined the BJP, used the phrase, “Abdul will no longer lay out the carpets.” The slogan attracted considerable attention at the time.Azam Khan responded with a sarcastic remark, saying Abdul would not only lay out the carpets but would also mop the floors.Over time, Abdul became a political reference to Muslim voters and their role in electoral politics. Owaisi has now revived the phrase, using it to highlight the difference between working for political parties and securing political representation for oneself.His message centres on three themes: the political importance of Muslim voters, the need for members of the community to move beyond supporting parties and seek leadership positions themselves, and a challenge to political parties that rely on Muslim votes.But the question remains: is Owaisi’s message reaching its intended audience? The views of people named Abdul in Uttar Pradesh offer another perspective on how the slogan is being received.<h2>Why Trump is talking about Abdul in America</h2>The name has also entered the political debate in the United States ahead of the midterm elections scheduled for November 3.US President Donald Trump has targeted his political opponents by referring to Abdul El-Sayed, a Democratic candidate in Michigan. During his rallies, Trump has repeatedly mentioned El-Sayed and accused him of having links to the Muslim Brotherhood.Trump’s remarks have brought the candidate into the wider political debate as the midterm elections approach. By repeatedly invoking El-Sayed’s name and making these allegations, Trump is seeking to gain an electoral advantage over his opponents.The political contexts in India and the United States are different, but the repeated use of the name has created a striking parallel. In Uttar Pradesh, Owaisi is invoking Abdul while arguing for greater Muslim political representation. In America, Trump is using Abdul El-Sayed’s name to attack a Democratic rival.Two countries, two different elections, but one name has become part of the political conversation: Abdul.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have initiated an extensive restructuring of their backroom setup ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2027 season, parting ways with long-standing batting coach Michael Hussey and bowling coach Eric Simons.  The decision marks the end of a pivotal chapter in the franchise’s history, as CSK seek to recalibrate their tactical core following challenging campaigns in the last three IPL seasons. <a href="https://english.zeenews.com/sports/article-ipl-2027-auction-set-for-december-16-in-goa-retention-deadline-fixed-for-november-15-3160667">ALSO READ: IPL 2027 auction set for December 16 in Goa; Retention deadline fixed for November 15</a>A Storied Association ConcludesHussey’s connection with the Super Kings dates back to the league’s inaugural edition in 2008. After an impactful playing stint featuring a century on debut and playing key roles in CSK’s early championship runs, the former Australian batter transitioned into the role of batting coach in 2018. Under his stewardship, CSK claimed IPL trophies in 2018, 2021, and 2023.In an official statement paying tribute to Hussey, Chennai Super Kings acknowledged his deep-rooted legacy."From the very first season in 2008, you have been an integral part of the Chennai Super Kings family.Your journey in Yellow has been defined not just by the runs you scored and the players you mentored, but by the dedication, humility, and unwavering commitment you brought to this franchise over the years. Your place in our history will forever remain special, Hussmeister," the CSK said."Once a Super King, always a Super King," it added.Alongside Hussey, former South African pacer and coach Eric Simons also bids farewell.Simons served as a cornerstone of CSK’s bowling department for over a decade, functioning as a primary strategist for both pace execution and tactical fielding placements under pressure."An integral part of the Chennai Super Kings coaching setup since 2018, Eric Simons has played an important role in shaping our bowling unit and contributing to the team's success over the years.We extend our sincere gratitude for your dedicated service and contributions. Thank you, Eric Simons. Wishing you the very best in your future endeavours," the CSK said in a statement.Wider Backroom DeparturesThe overhaul extends across the wider coaching unit:Michael Hussey (Batting Coach)  Eric Simons (Bowling Coach)  Rajiv Kumar (Assistant Coach)  Greg King (Head of S&amp;C)Tommy Simsek (Physiotherapist)Meanwhile, the future of fielding coach James Foster (who joined more recently) remained uncertain at the time of the initial reports, with a decision on any extension deferred.⁠Incoming Appointments And Tactical ResetCSK have already begun filling key vacancies to spearhead their rebuild:<ul><li data-list-item-id="e8c54e2265981e549883a5285db8bec79">Mohit Sharma is set to be named the new bowling coach.

The decision marks the end of a pivotal chapter in the franchise’s history, as CSK seek to recalibrate their tactical core following challenging campaigns in the last three IPL seasons.

Kashmiri Pandit activist and RTI campaigner Rakesh Handu, popularly known as Bunty, was arrested by a Baramulla Police team from his residence in Faridabad, Haryana, on October 17, 2026. He is currently lodged in Baramulla Jail in connection with a cyberterrorism case registered earlier in north Kashmir.The case stems from FIR No. 151/2026, registered on September 12, 2026, at Baramulla Police Station under Sections 66F (cyberterrorism) and 84C of the Information Technology Act. The complaint was filed by Rohit Raina, another Kashmiri Pandit who works under the Prime Minister’s Rehabilitation Package and is posted in the Finance Department in Baramulla.According to official documents, the allegations centre on the repeated circulation of electronic material through a publicly accessible social media account. The material was purportedly linked to the lesser-known terror outfit United Liberation Council (ULC). The arrest memo also refers to the alleged alteration and transmission of electronic content.Police had earlier issued notices under Section 35(3) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), directing Handu to appear before the investigating officer. He did not join the investigation despite multiple summons. Handu stated that he was residing in Faridabad and cited security threats that prevented him from travelling to Kashmir. He had also requested permission to participate in the proceedings through video conferencing.He was informed of the grounds for his arrest and his legal rights, including access to a lawyer and the right to seek bail.Jammu and Kashmir Police have not issued a detailed public statement on the arrest. Police sources, however, have linked the action to a broader investigation into threats allegedly issued against Kashmiri Pandits in recent months.A police officer said Handu “continuously used to upload posters containing threats to Kashmiri pandits. Even after accounts of terrorist supporters that issue threats in India are blocked, Rakesh was among the first ones to post those threats.”The officer added that the investigation was proceeding according to law and that “no innocent will be harmed, and the law will take its course.”Handu is known within the community for his work as an RTI and social activist, focusing on the rehabilitation of Kashmiri Pandits, security concerns involving migrant employees recruited under the PM Package, demands for secure housing and security audits, and investigations into alleged leaks of employees’ personal data.Earlier reporting in September 2026 showed Handu sharing and highlighting threatening posters allegedly issued by the ULC against Kashmiri Pandit employees. He had tagged the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) and the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), demanding that FIRs be registered against the outfit and that secure transit accommodation be provided immediately.His supporters argue that his advocacy for the security of PM Package employees should not be conflated with the alleged offences in the cyberterrorism case.The arrest has sparked concern and controversy among sections of the Kashmiri Pandit community. Lok Jan-Sakti leader Sanjay Saraf has publicly supported Handu, calling for a transparent and impartial investigation and insisting that due process be followed.In a social media post, Saraf said Handu’s arrest in Faridabad and subsequent detention in Baramulla Jail had caused deep concern among those familiar with his work. He stressed that the allegations must be thoroughly investigated, while Handu must be treated fairly and afforded dignity and due process.“The Kashmiri Pandit community believes in justice and the rule of law,” Saraf said, expressing hope that the investigation and judicial process would establish the facts.Online campaigns seeking Handu’s release have also emerged among community members and supporters, with #FreeBunty gaining attention on social media.As of the latest reports, no chargesheet or detailed public statement from the police has been released. The investigation remains ongoing, while members of the community continue to call for transparency, fairness and due process.

The case stems from FIR No. 151/2026, registered on September 12, 2026, at Baramulla Police Station under Sections 66F (cyberterrorism) and 84C of the Information Technology Act.
