    When Rishabh Pant came to keep wickets, most fans of the Indian and Australian cricket teams were surprised to see his agility behind the stumps, considering he had suffered a massive injury on his left elbow mere days away and had undergone numerous scans.
    It was later seen that the 23-year-old had heavily padded his left arm and had to take medical assistance on the field on Day 1 of the Gabba Test at the Brisbane Cricket Ground.
    Another day of Test cricket, another injury concern for India.

    However, for Australian cricketing legend Shane Warne, the biggest concern towards the Indian southpaw had nothing to do with his on-field game but with the kind of eyewear he was sporting during the session. 
    The Gabba cameramen didn’t have to try too hard to take notice of Pant’s goggles with fluorescent rims as they were shining extra bright and quickly caught the attention of the ‘Spin King’ who was commentating on the game for Fox Sports.

    “What do you think of those shades that Rishabh Pant is rocking Skull?” Warne asked Kerry O’ Keeffe.

    “Straight out of the service station?” 
    “They are servos aren’t they?” O’Keeffe replied. 
    “And he bought flowers as well. 
    “No, they are not getting me. You would want them to get scratched so you can just put them in the bin. 
    Making fun of Pant’s sunglasses, Warne did not realise that the supporters of the young Indian batsman were loading an arsenal of their own for a quick response and surely enough, images began to flow on social media.

    — Todd Norbury OAM (Self isolation world champion) (@norbs) January 16, 2021 The fourth and final Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy brought along an early end to the second session of the first day as reports of a hail storm in Brisbane began to emerge.  
    However, after some heavy rains for a little while, the covers were lifted, although the time to resume the game is still under speculation and subject to a pitch survey. 
    By the end of the second session on Day 1, India were at 62/2 after 26 overs and trail by 307 runs in the first innings. 
    Shubman Gill's early loss was followed by a disheartening end to Rohit Sharma’s innings, who is now being criticised for “throwing his wicket” to the Australian bowler Nathan Lyon.  
    Sharma was looking steady while batting at 44 when he decided to go for a big shot but mistimed his shot and the ball ended in Mitchell Starc’s safe hands in the middle of the ground.

    Today, India finally starts the world’s biggest vaccination drive against COVID-10 which has infected more than a crore people in the country. 
    The pandemic has already killed more than 1.5 lakh people in India, however, there is now good news. 
    India will have over 3,000 sessions, around 100 beneficiaries from the 3 crore priority group that consists of healthcare and frontline workers as the rollout was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier this morning.

    The first phase of the COVID-19 vaccination starts with two approved vaccines i.e. ‘Covishield’ and ‘Covaxin’. The first phase of the world’s biggest inoculation drive against the novel virus is expected to be completed in the next few months. 

    The exercise will be conducted for individuals above the age of 18, for the moment, and each site will function similar to an election booth. 
    Workers will have three hard copies of the beneficiary list and the names will also be uploaded by officials to the Co-Win portal. Today’s list was uploaded earlier this week on Thursday and will follow similar steps in days to follow.

    An official said: “The vaccination session is from 9 am to 5 pm. Whoever comes till 5 pm will be vaccinated even after 5 pm, just like how it happens in elections.”

    The vaccines that will be administered in the first phase will be free. “The Centre will bear the expenses for vaccinating the 3 crore priority population,” PM Narendra Modi said earlier this week.

    Out of the two approved vaccines, Covishield is the Indian variant of a vaccine developed by AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford called the AZD122. 

    The vaccine is being developed and manufactured in the country by Pune-based Serum Institute of India (SII). Currently, SII is capable of manufacturing over 2 million doses per day from a single line of production.

    The company will be adding six more lines in the coming weeks to increase the output levels. Covaxin, the second vaccine has been developed by Hyderabad-based Bharat Biotech in partnership with the National Institute of Virology.

    At the moment, there are 1.1 core doses of Covishield and 55 lakh doses of Covaxin available for administration. Each person has to get two shots of both vaccines within the span of 28 days apart. 
    India has already conducted three mock drills in preparation of the rollout and the exercise was carried out to test the logistical and operational capabilities for the rollout.

    Thanks to the backlash from WhatsApp users, the instant messaging app announced that it will “pause: the controversial updates to its privacy policies. The company wants to take more time to “clear up the misinformation around how privacy and security work on WhatsApp.”
    The new terms of service have been delayed for at least three months as the messaging app saw numerous users shift to other messaging apps like Telegram and Signal. 
    Having said that, WhatsApp has not announced that it will be making any changes to the policy during the three months of delay.

    The new WhatsApp privacy terms allow the company to take user data from WhatsApp and transfer it to other Facebook-owned companies. 

    WhatsApp later tried to reiterate the new terms via big full-page ads in newspapers but it wasn’t enough to convince users otherwise. 
    Even after WhatsApp offering more clarity, the app still saw a mass exodus to Signal which, eventually, caused the messaging’s service to crash last night. The crash was caused due to the huge growth Signal experienced in one day. 
    © Reuters
    WhatsApp said in a blog post that none of its privacy-focused features will be changing. The new policy is meant on helping users to connect with businesses which many users are still not comfortable with. 

    Despite the backlash, it seems like WhatsApp will not be backtracking from its decision and will go ahead with the new terms, even if the users don’t like it. 
    WhatsApp now faces its first legal hurdle in India where it faces a petition filed by Advocate Chaitanya Rohilla. The petition says the new policy gives WhatsApp the power to generate a ‘360-degree profile into a person’s online activity’ without any government oversight. 
    It is also worthy to point out the WhatsApp’s terms of service for Europe is different from India and doesn’t even force its users to accept the new terms.

    If you are looking to switch from WhatsApp for the time being, check out three alternatives that might suit your needs.

    The third Test match between India and Australia became a lot more controversial than the notorious banter between Tim Paine and Ravichandran Ashwin when Indian Pacer, Mohammed Siraj approached the officials with a racism complaint.
    According to reports, Indian cricketers including Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah were referred to as “brown dog” and “big monkey” on Day 3 when the two Men in Blue were given the duty of fielding at the border, closer to the local fans.
    Well this is some proof......

    Now, Krishna Kumar, a fan of Indian origin has come out with an incident of racial profiling at the Sydney Cricket Ground and has explained in detail, how he was made to feel “stripped” and “watched” for no valid reason at all.

    According to a Hindustan Times report, Krishna was targeted for carrying four anti-racism banners to the cricket ground with messages like “Rivalry is good, racism is not”, “No racism mate”, “Brown inclusion matters” and “Cricket Australia more diversity please”.
    Keep defending racists...well Siraj/Sundar called grubs now at Gabba..This is what happens when racists and racism apologists are not shunned from sports altogether. Not just stadiums, social media, playing.. I mean altogether. @CricketAus @BCCI https://t.co/lqsj2hieF8

    “He told me, ‘If you need to address this matter, go back to where you belong,” Krishna Kumar mentioned. 
    “It was a very small banner. I made it out of my kids’ paper roll,” he added. 
    “To me this a pure case of profiling,” he mentioned. 
    “They changed their entire formation so the guy next to the boundary is standing right in front of me and facing me. I’m not looking for compensation, I’m not looking for free tickets, I’m not looking for a membership,” Krishna Kumar told The Sydney Morning Herald.

    “I want justice. I want accountability. I was feeling stripped, feeling watched and I went there to fight racism. 

    “Forget whoever you’re supporting. I thought it was important as a cricket fan and as a responsible citizen to basically stand up against racism. My wife is Australian, my boys are Australian, my friends are all Australians. I’ve been to the MCG, I’ve been to the T20 Women’s World Cup. I’ve never been abused or racially attacked,” he added.

    The Venues NSW, on the other hand, have said that they are currently investigating the incident. 

    “We are investigating the complainant’s allegations and we’ll make no further comment until our investigation is complete,” a spokesperson mentioned.

    Indian Test vice-captain Rohit Sharma was at 44 off 74 deliveries when he walked down the pitch to go for a maximum against a Nathan Lyon delivery in the 20th over of the first Indian batting innings at the Brisbane Cricket Ground, and ended up getting caught out at the hands of Mitchell Starc.
    After losing Shubman Gill quickly in the seventh over, the Men in Blue were still looking on pace to have a good day of Test cricket with a seemingly strong and steady partnership between Sharma and Test expert Cheteshwar Pujara, until the former decided to score in a hurry, couldn’t connect the bat properly and lofted an easy dolly in the middle of the greens.

    Ever since Sharma joined Ajinkya Rahane and the Indian batting lineup following a 14-day quarantine in Sydney before the third Test, Sharma has batted in three innings, and his best performance (52) came in the second innings at the Sydney Cricket Ground.  
    It is also interesting to note that on all three occasions, Sharma was dismissed by one of the Australian fielders catching him out. 
    And now, the ‘Hitman’ is being criticised for unnecessarily going for a big shot and practically throwing his wicket, thereby causing a huge blow to the already struggling Team India at the Gabba. 
    Sunil Gavaskar rips into Rohit Sharma for 'irresponsible' shot, why, why he wails as Rohit holes out to Starc at long on off the cagey Lyon for 44. India 2-60 as Rahane joins Pujara. #AUSvIND
    — Robert Smith (@OnyaDon) January 16, 2021What a fuckall shot selection from Rohit Sharma. There was at least a 150 for the taking. Just stat pad FFS on this wicket. #AUSvsIND #GabbaTest
    — Sathyanarayanan Sridhar (@TheDewFactor) January 16, 2021Rohit Sharma throwing his wicket away yet again. Too good to be doing that! #LoveWatchingHimBat
    — Amir Jeena (@Jeenz7) January 16, 2021What a disastrous shot to play. All set on 44 and getting easy runs without an element of risk. Needless and reckless by Rohit Sharma has put India on the back foot. #AUSvsIND #AUSvIND
    — Saurav Vaish™ (@sauravkvaish) January 16, 2021 The penultimate Test at SCG was the first international red-ball match for Sharma in almost one year. Fans and a few analysts were already sceptical about his inclusion in the Playing XI, considering his unimpressive average of 26 runs per game in the longest format of the game ahead of the 2020-2021 Border Gavaskar Trophy. 
    Another reason for the Men in Blue to worry about is that Sharma limped in a quick moment just after hitting the shot that got him out. Ahead of the series, the Nagpur-born was struggling with a hamstring injury that he’d picked up during the 2020 season of the Indian Premier League. 
    Team India is already crippled with the number of injured top-tier cricketers being in double digits now and Rahane has been finding it extremely difficult lately to even come up with a decent Playing XI. 
    With an innings and a half still left in the tied series, Sharma’s potential injury could be a massive blow to the team.

    The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2021 has just begun and we're already flooded with a ton of new gadgets and announcements. One thing in particular that stood out to us this year so far is the number of rollable and foldable phones that we've seen.
    LG started off by teasing us with a look at the LG Rollable. The Rollable phone, although looks like a concept, is very much a real thing and it's apparently coming out this year. They basically showed off a phone with an expanding display and it looks something straight out of a sci-fi movie.

    LG hasn't mentioned a thing about this phone but just its mere existence has us super excited and we can't wait to check it out in person. We really hope LG manages to couple it with some solid specs to compete with other flagships on the market.

    Moving on, TCL also showcased a very interesting rollable phone, however, this one's a concept and we're not entirely sure if it'll make its way to the market. TCL is not new to these form factors as the company has already toyed with the idea of displays with different form factors but the new ones look very promising.
    In addition to the rollable phone, TCL also showcased a scrolling display with a 100% color gamut. TCL said its technology can be used for flexible, curved, and foldable displays.
    It wouldn't be CES without TCL showing off some future tech concepts! This is the AMOLED Rollable Display: It can extend from 6.7" to 7.8" with a tap of the finger. #CES2021 @TCL_USA @TCLMobileGlobal pic.twitter.com/Gtxihs7eDD
    — Brad Molen (@phonewisdom) January 11, 2021

    Overall, we got to see some solid new devices that gave us a glimpse into the future of smartphones. Of course, LG and TCL aren't going to be the only ones to announce these new devices and plenty of new manufacturers will show up over the next few days. It'll be interesting to see what kind of unique phones we get this year in addition to standard Galaxy and iPhones.
