Meet Yashasvi Solanki, first woman navy officer to become President Droupadi Murmu's....
Women have been shattering shackles and redefining limits in every area. They are pioneers, change-makers, and symbols of strength and resilience, showcasing that no dream is too big and no barrier is unbreakable. In a proud and historic moment for the Indian Navy, Lieutenant Commander Yashasvi Solanki has become the first woman officer from the Indian Navy to be appointed as Aide-De-Camp (ADC) to the President of India. Breaking barriers and setting a powerful example, Lieutenant Commander Yashasvi Solanki's appointment marks a significant step forward, as no woman from the Navy has ever held this esteemed position before. Hailing from Bharuch, Gujarat, Yashasvi was appointed to the role in April 2025 and then subsequently underwent about a month-long orientation and training. She was formally presented the characteristic 'Aiguillette' by the President on May 9, representing the formal declaration of an Aide-De-Camp (ADC). According to the AajTak report, Solanki will serve in this prestigious role for the next two and a half to three years. During this time, she will accompany the President at all times during official programs, meetings, and ceremonial events, providing continuous support and assistance. Yashasvi Solanki's appointment inspires millions of young girls. It is a powerful reminder that women are increasingly taking their rightful place in the defence and leadership structures of the nation, breaking barriers and establishing a presence where it truly matters. According to the AajTak report, Yashasvi Solanki mentioned that the role demands thorough preparation ahead of every presidential engagement, including staying informed about the guests and upcoming events. It's essential, she explained, because briefing the President is part of the responsibility, and any question can come her way. She also reflected on how unexpected this opportunity was for her, admitting that becoming the President's ADC was never something she had envisioned or even considered, simply because it didn't seem within reach.

IPL 2025: Yashasvi Jaiswal edits cryptic post after stoking Rajasthan Royals exit buzz
Yashasvi Jaiswal was compelled to edit one of his social media posts reflecting on his journey with the Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025, after it sparked speculation about a potential departure from the franchise. On Thursday, Yashasvi took to Instagram to reflect on his season with the Royals, after their hopes of reaching the playoffs ended on Tuesday, May 20 despite a commanding victory over the Chennai Super you, Rajasthan Royals, for everything. Not the season we hoped for, but grateful for the journey. On to the next challenge and whatever the future brings.

However, Yashasvi soon edited the post. He changed "grateful for the journey" to "continue to be grateful for our journey together", and added a tricolour emoji after the phrase "on to the next challenge" to suggest he was referring to India's upcoming Test tour of England scheduled from June to August.

Man dies as car goes up in flames after colliding with truck on Delhi-Mumbai Expressway
Gurgaon: A man was charred to death after his car collided with a truck on Delhi-Mumbai Expressway near Haryana's Nuh district on Tuesday evening. The impact caused the car to overturn and burst into flames. Forty-year-old Yashasvi Sharma , a resident of Noida, was unable to escape in time as the car flipped multiple times before being gutted. The incident took place around 7.30pm when Yashasvi's WagonR coming from Ferozepur Jhirka towards the expressway lost control and collided with the truck, 5km before an intersection near Ujina village, police said on Wednesday. The accident was caused when the truck moving ahead of the car suffered a mechanical failure — "a tire came off" — which led to the collision, police said. "The car reportedly lost control, flipped multiple times and caught fire," Jaisinghpur police outpost in-charge Mahesh Kumar said. The truck driver fled the scene after the accident. Based on a complaint from the victim's family, a case has been registered against the unidentified truck driver. Police recovered the body from inside the vehicle. The remains were sent to Nalhar Medical College for postmortem. After eyewitnesses alerted the police and the fire department, the latter managed to douse the flames following a two-hour-long operation. However, by the time the fire was brought under control, the car had been completely gutted. The body was handed over to Yashasvi's family after autopsy. An eyewitness said, "There was a major traffic jam after the accident. When I went ahead, I saw the car completely engulfed in flames. The police later recovered a completely burnt body from inside the car," he said.

RR vs PBKS; Why Shreyas Iyer is not leading Punjab Kings in the 2nd innings? details inside
Punjab Kings Captain Shreyas Iyer was subbed out after the first innings against Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Sunday. He scored a crucial 30 off 25 and added 67 important runs for the fourth wicket with Nehal Wadhera. Punjab Kings slipped to 34/3 in 3.1 overs, and the fourth-wicket stand bailed them out of the hole and eventually took them to 219/5 in 20 overs. Niggle to Shreyas Iyer is believed to be the reason for him getting subbed out after the PBKS innings. Punjab Kings' stand-in skipper Shashank Singh had a tough day at the office. RR's opening duo of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Suryavanshi provided a rollicking start to the home side. RR smashed their best-ever powerplay score (89/1) in the history of IPL. Yashasvi and Suryavanshi broke their own record of scoring 87/0 vs. Gujarat Titans earlier this season. Harpreet brar, the left-arm spinner, dismissed the two left-handers, Yashasvi and Suryavanshi. He finished with impressive figures of 3/22 in his four overs. Vaibhav Suryavanshi smashed 40 off just 15 balls and was the first to get out to Brar. Yashasvi Jaiswal perished after scoring his 6th half century of the season. Yashasvi also leads the orange cap race with 523 runs from 13 innings. Stay updated on all the action from the IPL 2025.

RR vs PBKS: Punjab Kings opener Prabhsimran Singh eyes rare IPL feat against Rajasthan Royals; details here
Prabhsimran Singh is not a novice to the Indian Premier League. He made his IPL debut in 2019 and has been associated with the Punjab Kings for the last seven years. Many players who made their IPL debut after him have made it big with the national side. Prabhsimran Singh remains uncapped. He may not remain uncapped for too long after his fabulous performance in the ongoing IPL season. But he got the opportunity to break a big record as an uncapped player. Prabhsimran Singh has scored 437 runs in 11 innings this season. It should have been 487 runs after his unbeaten half century against Delhi Capitals on May 8. The game was abandoned due to security reasons and it will be replayed again on May 24. The IPL authorities removed all stats from that abandoned game. Prabhsimran Singh needs just 63 runs to become the 6th uncapped player to have scored 500 runs in an IPL season. He will be looking to achieve the feat against Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur today. Let's have a look at the five players who achieved the unique feat. Shaun Marsh is the only overseas uncapped player to score 500 runs in an IPL season. His 616 runs in the inaugural season also fetched him the orange cap. Marsh made his International debut within a few days of the completion of IPL 2008. The next entry to the list came after 10 years. Suryakumar Yadav returned to Mumbai Indians after a gap of six years and ensured that it was a memorable one. He scored 518 runs in the season. He even won back-to-back IPL titles in 2019 and 2020, scoring 424 and 480 runs, respectively. However, the Indian cap remained elusive. The current captain of the Indian T20 team eventually made his international debut in 2021 and shed his uncapped player tag. Ishan Kishan became the third uncapped player to score more than 500 runs in an IPL season. Kishan scored 516 runs for Mumbai Indians in 2020 and played a starring role in MI's fifth IPL triumph. He made his international debut ahead of the next IPL season. Yashasvi Jaiswal made his IPL debut in 2020 and scored 547 runs in his first three seasons combined. He crossed the combined tally in a single season in 2023. Yashasvi became the first uncapped batter to cross 600 runs in a season. His 625 runs are the most by an uncapped batter in a season. Yashasvi made his international debut in July 2023. Riyan Parag made his IPL debut in 2019 and managed just 600 runs in his first five IPL seasons. He nearly managed to double his career numbers in a single season in 2024. Parag smashed 573 runs and soon earned his international cap. Punjab Kings have three more league games remaining, and one can expect Prabhsimran to score 63 runs and cross the 500-run mark. The number of matches may go up if Punjab Kings reach the playoffs and go further in the tournament. Stay updated on all the action from the IPL 2025.
