  • Mohammad Shami Lauded On Twitter For Fitness And Discipline During 1st ODI Powerplay

India chose to go with four specialist bowlers and two bowlers in the form of Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja while Mayank Agarwal grabbed the opener’s spot in place of the injured Rohit Sharma.

    Mohammad Shami and Jasprit Bumrah started the proceedings for India and both were on the money from the word go as they bowled at good lines and lengths. Shami, in particular, was extremely tidy in the first two overs as he gave away just two runs in his first twelve balls. Bumrah was a tad expensive, however, he ensured that the Australian openers didn’t get any freebies.

    Shami gave away 12 runs in his first spell of three overs. The right-arm speedster returned to bowl his fourth and the final over of the powerplay and once away he was economical, giving away just a solitary run. In his first four overs, Shami gave away just 13 runs as Australia finished the powerplay at 51/0.

    Meanwhile, Australian openers were going strong with both Aaron Finch and David Warner scoring runs easily. At the time of publishing this article, Australia reached 84/0 at the end of 17 overs. India will be eager to get the first breakthrough and put a brake on the scoring rate.

  • Donald Trump Shares Baseless Claim About 6,000 ‘fake’ Biden Votes In Arizona

    Even though the Trump administration has initiated the formal process of transition of power to president-elect Joe Biden, incumbent Donald Trump has continued to post baseless claims about voter fraud on Twitter. Recently on November 24, Trump reposted a tweet labelled ‘disputed’ by the website, of a user falsely claiming that 6,000 “fake Biden votes” were uncovered in Arizona. Meanwhile, several key states have certified the election results indicating the same results as major American networks had projected that Biden will be the 46th US President. 

    However, Trump supporters have been running a baseless campaign on the microblogging website, with internet users posting untrue claims of fraud during vote counting. The Twitter user had posted, “Report: 6K fake Biden votes found in Arizona ‘lead’ drops to 4K” and even posted a screenshot a pro-Trump media outlet with the same “report” in the text running on the screen. But the report quoted by the user and that was also retweeted by Trump is false. 

    However, the ‘bunk’ news appeared to refer to a temporary tally change that had occurred during the unofficial election results due to an error during uploading with one of the county’s results. Even hours before the claim was posted on social media, the claim was clarified from Arizona’s Secretary of State Katie Hobbs. Taking to Twitter, Hobbs said that the numbers were displayed incorrectly because of a glitch while uploading.
