    As the 2020 season of the Indian Premier League heads towards the Playoffs, another major talking point in Indian cricket has erupted - the team selection for the upcoming tour of Australia in which all three formats of the game will be played.
    Earlier this week, BCCI announced the respective Team India squads for the three formats and while most of the line-up was as expected, there are a few names on the lists that led to numerous questions directed towards the Indian cricket board and the selection committee.

    Missing out currently-injured Rohit Sharma, including currently-injured Mayank Agarwal, snubbing Suryakumar Yadav, and quickly naming KL Rahul the vice-captain of the team in limited overs cricket.
    It was also the latter’s inclusion in the Test squad that stirred up further controversy, headed by former Team India cricketer and commentator, Sanjay Manjrekar, who’d shared a cryptic tweet just moments after the teams were announced:
    Manjrekar tweeted:

     "You set a bad precedent when you recall a player for Tests on IPL performance. Especially if the player has been an abject failure in his last few Tests. Whether that player succeeds or fails is irrelevant, such selections massively demotivate Ranji players." 
    It didn’t take long for fans and the selectors to figure out who he was talking about - it was indeed KL Rahul, the leading scorer and Orange Cap holding batsman in IPL 2020, as of October 30, 2020.
    Rahul’s Test career hasn’t looked as marvellous as his white-ball career. According to reports , ever since scoring 299 against England in a five-match series in 2018, the wicket-keeper batsman has struck 37 vs West Indies (two match-series), 57 vs Australia (three match-series), 101 vs West Indies (two match series), before he was dropped from the squad ahead of the New Zealand series earlier this year.

    So, regardless of BCCI continuously talking about how they don’t select players for the national team based on their IPL performance, has the unwritten rule been broken by the board in KL Rahul’s case?
    Former Team Indian skipper Kris Srikkanth doesn’t feel so. 
    On his YouTube channel called Cheeky Cheeka, Kris said: 
    “Questioning KL Rahul’s selection in Tests? He has played well in Tests. I won’t agree at all. Just because Sanjay wants to question something, I don’t think I’ll agree. You shouldn’t question something just to create a controversy. KL Rahul has done brilliantly in all formats. Go through his Test record.”

    He added: 
    “Rahul might have been inconsistent but the same KL Rahul made his debut in Australia and made a century. He’s a good player of fast bowling. Let’s understand, he’s a very good player of fast bowling.”
    The former skipper then went on to turn the tables on Manjrekar himself, calling out his bias for cricketers coming from cities in North India, especially Mumbai when he said: 
    “Sanjay Manjrekar cannot think beyond Bombay. That’s the problem. We are talking neutral. Manjrekar cannot think beyond Bombay. For people like Manjrekar, everything is Bombay, Bombay and Bombay. They have to think beyond Bombay.”

    There are hundreds and thousands of planets out there in the solar system and we're barely just scratching the surface with each discovery. Now, scientists have discovered yet another planet and this time it looks like this could be the smallest free-floating planet ever detected.
    This discovery was made by the University of Warsaw researchers in the middle of the Milky Way. From what we know so far, this new planet is said to be between the size of Earth and Mars. These kinds of free-floating planets are usually difficult to detect.
    Rogue planets don't orbit stars, they are gravitationally unattached to any host star. They don't emit any visible radiation, so they cannot be detected using traditional astrophysical techniques. 1/5
    — Przemek Mroz (@przemroz) September 29, 2020 For this discovery, the researchers used a technique called “microlensing". The technique allows scientists to find planets they wouldn't be able to. Przemek Mroz, one of the co-authors of the paper explained it and said, "Rogue planets don't orbit stars, they are gravitationally unattached to any host star. They don't emit any visible radiation, so they cannot be detected using traditional astrophysical techniques."

    As soon as the Indian government started going after the Chinese apps and banned TikTok, we pretty much knew PUBG Mobile was going to be next in line. Well, we were right and the game was indeed banned on September 2. A lot of people don't know this but the game was still available to play for those who already had it downloaded on their devices.
    That, however, is not going to be the case starting today because the game's devs have officially announced that the servers are shutting. That's right, PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite will no longer be even playable in India starting today.

    This was announced by PUBG Mobile India's official Facebook page. Here's what the post says -

    "Dear Fans, To comply with the interim order of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology dated September 2, 2020, Tencent Games will terminate all service and access for users in India to PUBG MOBILE Nordic Map: Livik and PUBG MOBILE Lite (together, “PUBG Mobile”) on October 30, 2020. The rights to publish PUBG MOBILE in India will be returned to the owner of the PUBG intellectual property. Protecting user data has always been a top priority and we have always complied with applicable data protection laws and regulations in India. All users’ gameplay information is processed in a transparent manner, as disclosed in our privacy policy. We deeply regret this outcome, and sincerely thank you for your support and love for PUBG MOBILE in India."
    This seems like the end of the line for PUBG Mobile, at least for now. We're not entirely sure if the game will ever make a comeback in India. They'll have to cover a lot of roads before making it happen, but we're sure PUBG Mobile fans will be waiting to welcome the game with open arms.

    PUBG Mobile's publishing rights were previously held by Tencent Games. However, Bluehole decided to cut all ties with Tencent Games following the ban. Bluehole currently holds all the publishing rights of the game.

    It’s that time of the year again when you just don’t know what to wear. A jacket makes you feel too hot but a T-shirt makes you feel chilly. The mornings and the evenings are cold but the daytime is hot as ever.

    Tea tree oil is arguably the most essential of all essential oils. Extracted from the leaves of the Australian Melaleuca alternifolia tree, this secret weapon of nature holds a reputation for treating multiple skin, hair and hygiene issues most expensive products fail to address. 

    It Helps Treat AcneIt’s not easy to argue with yourself when all you can think about is popping a pimple. But many studies have shown that tea tree oil is an excellent pore purifier and zit zapper. It’s bound to do a better job than your hands, so use the power of nature.
    All thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, it is also seen as a potion that calms redness and swelling. Tea tree oil also promotes clear, blemish-free skin by reducing acne scars and preventing breakouts. 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__782__
    Adds Natural Glow To Your SkinNot only can this green extract help you achieve clearer skin but also give your face a dewy look. It reduces the greasy shine and provides hydration. The best part is that tea tree oil doesn’t make your skin dry or flaky like benzoyl peroxide, a medication best known to reduce acne, does. 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__310__
    Reduces Itching, Irritation & InflammationIf you feel like scratching too often or you experience irritation quite a lot, grab a bottle of tea tree oil or a skincare product that already has the plant extract. It’ll hydrate your skin and calm it in all the right ways.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__129__
    Prevents Staph InfectionDo you like working out? Those intense gym sessions are so satisfying, right? But your gym equipment or yoga mat can have a staph, a nasty group of bacteria that cause skin infection. 
    Tea tree oil can eliminate microorganisms like Staphylococcus aureus. Researches have shown that the Terpinen-4-ol present in tea tree oil fights against staph. So after your next gym visit, use tea tree oil body wash to wipe those nasties off.    
    __ECOMPRODUCT__233__
    Heals Infections, Cuts & WoundsThe antibacterial properties of tea tree oil work like a charm on wounds. It boosts the healing process for the skin and shows quicker results when it comes to infections, cuts and wounds. 
    With a few drops of tea tree oil, you can make your hand wash 11 times stronger which is perfect for anyone who is struggling to maintain hand hygiene.
    Not only that, tea tree oil can even keep the bugs away so you can mix a few drops with your lotion on a camping trip or add the oil to your diffuser to repel bloodsuckers.   
    __ECOMPRODUCT__783__
    How To Apply Tea Tree Oil?Neither you should use tea tree oil directly on your skin nor you should swallow it. For best results, combine 1 or 2 drops of tea tree oil with 12 drops of carrier oil of your choice. Be careful to choose a carrier oil that doesn’t have the potential to worsen acne. 
    Do a patch test on the inside of your elbow before applying the oil to your face. If you don’t experience any form of irritation, itchiness or swelling, the ratio of dilution is suitable for your skin.
    Wash your face and pat dry it. Now, use a cotton pad to dab the oil on your blemishes. Let it dry. Then, follow up with a moisturiser. Follow the routine every morning and before bed for visible results.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__356__
    The BottomlineOils are often misrepresented as being heavy and greasy but plant oils actually get absorbed into the skin far quicker than moisturisers. So, rest assured that the only thing heavy about tea tree oil is its effect on your skin.
