Actor Suniel Shetty and daughter Athiya watch KL Rahul's Lucknow lose IPL thriller

Rajasthan Royal's young fast bowler Kuldeep Sen defended 15 runs in the final over of the innings to seal a brilliant three-run win over Lucknow Super Giants and take his team to the top of the Indian Premier League points table on Sunday.

The match seemed done and dusted in the first four overs of the chase as Lucknow were reduced to 14-3 in pursuit of 166. However, contributions from Quinton de Kock (39), Deepak Hooda (25) and Krunal Pandya (22) kept them in the chase before Marcus Stoinis came in and smashed the ball around to give Lucknow hope.

Stonis hit the last two balls of Sen for a four and six to finish on 38 off 17 balls, but the game was gone by then.

Earlier, the match was set up by West Indies' Shimron Hetmyer who hit an unbeaten 59 off 36 balls and lifted Royals from 67-4 to 165-6.

The match will also be remembered for a tactical move by Rajasthan - the first in top level cricket anywhere. Ravichandran Ashwin, who shared a key 68-run fifth-wicket stand with Hetmyer, retired out with 10 balls left to bring in power hitter Riyan Parag.

Parag hit the third last ball of Rajasthan's innings for a six, making the tactical decision a winning one in the end.

Rajasthan captain Sanju Samson said Ashwin's act was a "team decision". "It's about being Rajasthan Royals. We keep trying different things," Samson said after his team's win.

"Have been talking about it before the season. We thought that if some situation occurs, we can use it. It was a team decision."

Lucknow's chase got off to a horror start as captain KL Rahul was clean bowled by Trent Boult with a full ball from round the stumps. Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal continued his wicket-taking form, picking up 4-41.

The thrilling match at the Wankhede Stadium was watched by Bollywood star Suniel Shetty and his actor daughter Athiya.

Labour dispute

The insured employee may still file an ILOE claim even if a labour dispute is ongoing post termination, but the insurer may suspend or reject payment, until the courts resolve the dispute, especially if the reason for termination is contested. The outcome of the labour court proceedings can directly affect eligibility.

Conflict, drought, famine

Estimates of the number of deaths caused by the famine range from 400,000 to 1 million, according to a document prepared for the UK House of Lords in 2024.
It has been claimed that the policies of the Ethiopian government, which took control after deposing Emperor Haile Selassie in a military-led revolution in 1974, contributed to the scale of the famine.
Dr Miriam Bradley, senior lecturer in humanitarian studies at the University of Manchester, has argued that, by the early 1980s, “several government policies combined to cause, rather than prevent, a famine which lasted from 1983 to 1985. Mengistu’s government imposed Stalinist-model agricultural policies involving forced collectivisation and villagisation [relocation of communities into planned villages].
The West became aware of the catastrophe through a series of BBC News reports by journalist Michael Buerk in October 1984 describing a “biblical famine” and containing graphic images of thousands of people, including children, facing starvation.

Band Aid

Bob Geldof, singer with the Irish rock group The Boomtown Rats, formed Band Aid in response to the horrific images shown in the news broadcasts.
With Midge Ure of the band Ultravox, he wrote the hit charity single Do They Know it’s Christmas in December 1984, featuring a string of high-profile musicians.
Following the single’s success, the idea to stage a rock concert evolved.
Live Aid was a series of simultaneous concerts that took place at Wembley Stadium in London, John F Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, the US, and at various other venues across the world.
The combined event was broadcast to an estimated worldwide audience of 1.5 billion.
