  • IPL 2025: MS Dhoni Ready To Play? CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan Gives Huge Update | cricket news

    MS Dhoni has put to rest any doubts about his participation in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season, bringing relief to the Chennai Super Kings. The team wasted no time in confirming that their iconic captain will indeed be playing in the next season.

    “When he is ready, what else (do) we want. We are happy,” franchise CEO Kasi Viswanathan told Cricbuzz on Saturday. Viswanathan’s statement follows Dhoni’s recent remarks, where he expressed his eagerness to enjoy the remaining years of his cricketing career.

    “I just want to enjoy whatever last few years of cricket I am able to play,” Dhoni was quoted as saying to TOI. “When you play cricket like a professional sport, it becomes difficult to enjoy it just like a game. That’s what I want to do. It’s not easy. (‘I Want To Enjoy The Game’: MS Dhoni’s Big Reveal On His IPL 2025 Participation For CSK)

    “The emotions keep coming, the commitments are there. I want to enjoy the game for the next few years. I have to keep myself fit for nine months, so that I can play two and a half months of IPL. You need to plan it out, but at the same time chill a bit.”

    While Dhoni’s announcement was largely anticipated, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) officials had been waiting for a final confirmation from him, which they expected by October 28. Now that Dhoni’s intentions are clear, the franchise is set to finalize its player retention decisions. Viswanathan confirmed that Dhoni will soon speak with N Srinivasan, the franchise owner, to finalize the retained players list.

    Dhoni, who will be in the uncapped category, will impact the auction price by just INR 4 crore. Ravindra Jadeja is expected to be the top retention, followed by Ruturaj Gaikwad. Matheesha Pathirana, a key CSK player, is believed to have agreed to be the third retention, with his manager sealing the deal in Chennai last week. Among Shivam Dube, Devon Conway, and uncapped player Sameer Rizvi, two are likely to be retained.

    The final decisions will be confirmed after Dhoni’s upcoming discussion with Srinivasan, with Dhoni expected to return to Ranchi from Goa in the next few days.

  • How some Nevada voters see the affordable housing crisis

    Las Vegas — For nearly a year now, 32-year-old renter Mason Cunha and his realtor have been struggling to find the right home in Las Vegas at the right price.

    What’s keeping Cunha from purchasing a home?

    “It just doesn’t really make sense right now to buy a home with the interest rates where they are, and with the inventory what it is,” Cunha said.

    Vice President Kamala Harris has said that if she wins the general election in November, she plans to work with the private sector to build three million new homes and rental units.

    Cunha, a Harris supporter, is in favor of the proposal.

    “I think it’s going to definitely help, if you were to double or triple or quadruple the inventory,” Cunha said.

    Harris is also proposing outlawing price fixing by corporate landlords and giving first-time homebuyers who have paid their rent on time for two years with up to $25,000 in down payment assistance.

    “I would want to review what the qualifications are for that,” said 32-year-old Andrew Lum of Las Vegas, a wedding DJ and married father. “Where is that $25,000 coming from?”

    Lum sold his home when his family expanded. He now rents a bigger house but he can’t afford to buy. Lum says his life was better when former President Donald Trump was in office.

    “In 2020 we were able to buy a home,” Lum said. “We were able to buy it at an interest rate that was possible. We were able to buy it with, you know, minimal down payments.”

    Trump’s plan involves reducing mortgage rates by slashing inflation. Trump has also said he would open limited portions of federal lands to allow for new home construction, a plan the Biden administration is already enacting. As an example, one such 20-acre plot in Las Vegas was recently transferred from the federal government to Clark County, and now it has been designated for affordable housing.

    According to the Congressional Research Service, 80.1% of the land in Nevada is owned by the federal government.

    Trump has also said that that his promised mass deportations will make more housing available. It is an argument that both Lum and Cunha don’t seem to agree with.

    “It just seems a little farfetched to me that all the houses are being purchased by immigrants,” Lum said.
     
    “I think everything that Trump says has to be taken with a really aggressive grain of salt because he is known to inflate the truth,” Cunha said.

  • Digvijay, who reached the fertilizer distribution center, got angry at the officials not coming, said – don’t take us so lightly

    Digvijay Singh gets angry when the officer does not reach Nanakhedi Mandi.

    HighLights

    Digvijay Singh talked to the farmers and learned about their problems. Officials were asked to provide details of fertilizer distribution. Digvijay said, black marketing of fertilizers is happening under BJP rule.

    Navdunia Representative, Guna. Former Chief Minister of the state and Rajya Sabha member Digvijay Singh reached the fertilizer distribution center located at Nanakhedi Galla Mandi on Saturday morning. Here he discussed with the farmers and got to know about the fertilizer distribution system. But meanwhile they became angry when the DMO did not arrive. He said that you should not take us lightly. I’m coming, so you should know. It is not your responsibility that your DMO should come here.

    Actually, former Chief Minister Digvijay Singh had reached Guna late on Friday night. After meeting the workers at Circuit House on Saturday morning, he went to inspect the double lock distribution center of Galla Mandi fertilizer located in Nanakhedi. Here he got information about the fertilizer distribution system of the administration and also talked to the farmers. But during this time only Ashok Upadhyay, Deputy Director of Agriculture Department, was present. Whereas the fertilizer distribution center in-charge and Co-operative Society deputy registrar were missing.

    On this, Rajya Sabha member Singh asked who was DR, then the agriculture officer said that it is Jain Saheb. They are coming. When the former Chief Minister inquired about the distribution center in-charge, it came to light that he too had not come. Rajya Sabha member Digvijay Singh got angry on this matter. He folded his hands and said that please request the DR on our behalf that there is a meeting with the Collector at 11:30, so at least come there on time.

    Tell us how much fertilizer was given to which farmer in a week.

    After this incident, Digvijay listened to the problems of the farmers present in the market and informed the officials about the problems on the spot. Also asked the officials to provide information within a week as to how much fertilizer has been given to which farmer so far.

    BJP government ended cooperative movement

    In the same sequence, Rajya Sabha member Digvijay Singh also interacted with the media at the agricultural produce market office. He said that the BJP government has ended the cooperative movement. When I was the Chief Minister, 100 percent fertilizer distribution was done through committees. Neither did the farmers have to face police lathicharge nor they got fertilizer easily. Now only 40 percent fertilizer is being sent to the society. Those farmers who are due in the committees, should be given fertilizer from their account. But they are also being given fertilizer in cash, this is illegal. Former Chief Minister Singh said that private vendors are also providing nano urea and other items to the farmers along with fertilizers. Whereas in the year 2022 itself, the Agriculture Ministry has declared it wrong. The Agriculture Department had given clear instructions that no other thing should be given along with fertilizer but private sellers are doing so. Due to this, the cost to farmers is increasing with the cost of fertilizer costing Rs 1,200 to Rs 2,000.

    The government reduces the quota of other places and sends it to the constituencies.

    On the question of excess supply of fertilizer in Budhni and Sheopur, Rajya Sabha member Digvijay Singh said that it is obvious that there are elections there. Wherever elections are held, the state government reduces the quota of fertilizer from other places and sends it there. There is complete politics going on. Apart from supplying the fertilizer as per demand, he has demanded from the Central Government to supply it to the warehouses in advance.
