Rahul savours runs as Delhi snap losing streak in IPL

Published by Sam Flores

May 2 : KL Rahul topped the Indian Premier League run-scoring charts with a match-winning knock in Delhi Capitals’ seven-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals on Friday, saying individual milestones mean more when they help the team win. Rahul has been Delhi’s most consistent performer this season, registering three half-centuries and one century despite the team’s mixed results. The 34-year-old struck 75 off 40 balls, with six fours and five sixes, as Delhi snapped a three-match losing streak and completed their highest successful run chase of 226 in the IPL. Rahul had earlier hit an unbeaten 152 in a defeat against Punjab Kings, a knock that drew praise but did not bring the desired result for the team. “After playing for so many years, numbers do matter,” Rahul said at the post-match presentation. “You’re happy that you score runs and you score these big runs and break records. But if you don’t get the win after the game, it’s not as much fun.” Rahul has been in strong form this season and he credited it to …

NEW DELHI, April 27 : Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar routed Delhi Capitals on a rare bowler-dominated day in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Monday to set up Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s comprehensive nine-wicket victory at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Two days after Punjab Kings chased down a record target of 265 at the same ground, Hazlewood (4-12) and Bhuvneshwar (3-5) wreaked havoc to bundle out Delhi for 75 in 16.3 overs. Delhi were six down for eight inside four overs and tumbled to the lowest powerplay score in IPL history at 13-6 on a surface offering enough seam and variable bounce for the Bengaluru bowlers to exploit. Defending champions Bengaluru lost the wicket of Jacob Bethell before chasing down the target in 6.3 overs to cement their second place, behind Punjab Kings. “Probably turning up here after 500-plus runs in the last game, you don’t expect that,” Australian player-of-the-match Hazlewood said. “I just followed Bhuvi. There was a little bit there in the first six overs. It was a little bit up and down. Once the ball …

IPL, epilator or laser? Which home hair removal method is best for you

IPL, epilator or laser? Which home hair removal method is best for you

Published by Sam Flores

Jump to advice on hair removal: Before using any IPL or epilator, carry out a patch test on a small clean, dry and hair-free section of skin. “Although home hair removal devices are less aggressive than in-clinic tools, it is important to perform a patch test and wait 24 hours to check for any redness, burns or irritation before proceeding with a full session,” says dermatology expert Selma van Asselt. It is equally important to examine the device’s hair and skin compatibility chart before use. “Extremely light hair, as well as red and grey hair are not suitable for this kind of treatment because they cannot accumulate enough heat to destroy the hair’s growth centre,” says Selma. “Darker skin types will also accumulate too much heat, which could cause skin burns or hyperpigmentation.” Selma also says people with eczema, open cuts, sunburn or those using active skincare ingredients should avoid IPL devices and epilators. She advises those who are pregnant, nursing, undergoing any medical procedures or aesthetic treatments to refrain from the treatment. Aftercare is …
