IPL 2023 Auction: MS Dhoni looking to pass baton, Ben Stokes might lead CSK right away, says Scott Sytris

After CSK missed the playoffs earlier this year, MS Dhoni announced that he would participate in the IPL once again in 2023. The four-time champion captain denied retirement rumours and claimed he would undoubtedly participate in the IPL again. The IPL is ready to resume its home-and-away format for the first time since 2019 and Dhoni said he would like to thank supporters in Chennai and throughout India for their support.

MS Dhoni will still serve as Chennai’s captain in the 2023 IPL, according to CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan.

“In my opinion, he will serve as captain. Because he hasn’t frequently been playing between the IPL and now, MS Dhoni has tried to hand the captaincy to someone else. Just a chance for MS Dhoni to hand off the reins. I believe that they will act right away. The captain will be Ben Stokes “Jio Cinema was informed by Styris on Friday, December 23.

Importantly, a day before the IPL 2022 season began, Dhoni gave Ravindra Jadeja the captaincy. In the first half of the IPL earlier this year, Jadeja served as CSK’s captain, but the all-rounder resigned after the team’s rocky start to the year.

In order for Dhoni to lead the squad in the second half of the season, Jadeja returned the captaincy to him.

Yet Stokes’s appearance adds some intrigue. As the powerful teams failed to re-sign Sam Curran, who set a new IPL record for the most expensive player purchased at auction for Rs 18.5 crore by Punjab Kings, CSK purchased England’s Test skipper for a staggering Rs 16.25 crore.

As England’s Test team captain, Stokes has been in outstanding form, leading his team to victories in nine of the last ten matches.

Eoin Morgan, a former captain of England, claimed that Stokes’ expertise in high-pressure situations makes him a steal for Rs 16.25 crore.

“Get Ben Stokes if you have to do anything at all. He is that skilled gamer. He can always rely upon it, as we saw in the World Cup final, to present a calmer, more composed version of himself. The new ball is within his grasp. Simply said, it’s a whole package. What may be bought with money?” Morgan threw in.

Rescheduling travel is advised by the Indian Embassy in Dubai following historic rains, and Air India cancels flights

Rescheduling non-essential travel until operations restart following the country’s record-breaking rainfall has been advised by the Indian embassy in the United Arab Emirates for inbound Indian passengers arriving at or passing through Dubai International Airport.

The intense rainfall that occurred this week in Dubai and the neighboring areas has left the United Arab Emirates (UAE) still recovering. On Friday, this “important advisory” was released. Air India said today on social media that it will be suspending its flights to and from Dubai due to continued operational issues at Dubai Airport.

“As soon as operations resume, we will put impacted passengers back on planes in an effort to get them on their way. Customers who have tickets valid for travel through April 21, 2024, and are booked on our flights, will receive full reimbursements for cancellations and a one-time waiver on rescheduling, the airline announced.

According to the advisory, passengers may arrive at the airport “only after” receiving final confirmation from the individual airlines regarding the departure date and time of flights, even though UAE authorities were working nonstop to guarantee the return of operations. This was stated by the Indian mission. As to the alert, Dubai International Airport has temporarily restricted the number of inbound flights due to the inconvenience caused by the exceptional weather conditions in the UAE earlier this week.

Woman in MP’s Guna Was “raped & tortured” for a month by her neighbor; wounds covered in chilli powder and sealed with glue

In a startling incident from Guna, Madhya Pradesh, a neighbor is said to have raped and tortured a woman for a month. According to reports, the accused forced her to marry him and give him ownership of her parents’ assets.

The woman, 23, who lived with her mother, was allegedly restrained, subjected to sexual assault, belt-whipped, and water-pipe-beaten, according to the police.

In order to stop the accused from screaming, it is also alleged that she sealed her lips with glue and applied chili powder to her wounds.

The Times of India reports that the victim told the police that one month ago, the accused took her against her will to his home and locked her in a room without giving her any way to leave or communicate.

She was tormented once more on Tuesday night, but she found a way out of the house and made it five kilometers through the night to the Cantonment police station by morning.

Her condition horrified the police when they arrived at the station. She had obvious bruises all over her body, her eyes were swollen, and her lips were glue-sealed shut.

According to the police, on Wednesday night, the accused was apprehended while supplying alcohol illegally. In addition to being charged with excise law, he has been booked under sections 376 (rape), 294 (obscene language), and 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) of the Indian Penal Code. Further charges may be brought against him following an investigation.
