Team India players were spotted wearing black armbands on Day 3 of the third Test against England on Saturday at the Niranjan Shah Cricket Stadium in Rajkot. The BCCI has announced that Indian players would be sporting black armbands in the memory of former India captain and the country’s oldest Test cricketer – Dattajirao Gaekwad.

Gaekwad passed away on 13 February in the ICU of a Baroda hospital due to age-related incidents. He was the father of former India player and head coach Anshuman Gaekwad.

“Team India will be wearing black arm bands in memory of Dattajirao Gaekwad, former India captain and India’s oldest Test cricketer who passed away recently,” BCCI said in a statement on Saturday.

Dattajirao played in 11 Tests for India from 1952 to 1961 and captained the side on the tour of England in 1959. Overall, he scored 350 runs at an average of 18.42 and scored one fifty.

Coming to the match.

India are without Ravichandran Ashwin from Day 3 of the Rajkot Test as the senior spinner had to leave midway due to a family medical emergency. Team India will be playing with just 10 players, however, they will be allowed to use a substitute fielder.

“In these challenging times, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the team fully supports Ashwin,” BCCI said in a statement. “The BCCI extends its heartfelt support to the champion cricketer and his family. The health and well-being of the players and their loved ones are of utmost importance. The Board requests respect for the privacy of Ashwin and his family as they navigate through this challenging time.”

England were 260/4 at the time of publishing this report. They trail India (445) by 185 runs and still have Ben Duckett (153*) at the crease.

A star outshines an entire galaxy in NASA's latest image captured by Hubble Telescope. See pic

Snapshot of the star that stood out in the galaxy. © Provided by Deepak kumar blogs N ASA never fails to amaze us with wonderful pictures of the stars and the galaxy. This time, the space agency shared an image of a single star that stole the show. The image was captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and shows a star and a galaxy that are in the constellation Lacerta (The Lizard). Elaborating on this celestial marvel, NASA explained, "The star is a million times closer to us than the galaxy, which lies more than 45 million light-years away. This relative closeness is the only way a star can outshine an entire galaxy containing billions of stars." They further added, "This star is what astronomers call a 'foreground star,' and it's a bit of a nuisance. Its light can contaminate fainter light from more distant objects that astronomers want to study." Talking more about the foreground stars, NASA shared, "In a technique called microlensing,...

NASA's Hubble Telescope captures mesmerising colourful eruption of a 'stellar volcano'

NASA's Hubble Telescope captures mesmerising colourful eruption of a 'stellar volcano' T he cosmos has once again dazzled us! The Hubble Space Telescope recently revealed a striking image of two stars locked in a fascinating dance. This captivating nebula showcases the intricate relationship of these celestial neighbours, a tale centuries in the making. The hourglass-shaped nebula forms from the interaction between two distinct stars. One is a compact white dwarf, while the other is a massive red giant. This red giant is over 400 times larger than our sun and has a brightness that fluctuates over a 387-day cycle. Located about 710 light-years from Earth, this star system is called R Aquarii. It is classified as a symbiotic variable star, a term that mirrors biological symbiosis. This means two different stars exist close together and interact continuously.
