Reliance Industry Limited becomes the first Indian firm to reach a $200 billion valuations. Lots of investments from so many renowned firms push the share price upward.
The shares price of the company hiked 3.32% on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) to a new record high of Rs.2,233.90. It indicates, the company’s market capitalization reached Rs.14,14,764.90 or $192.85 billion.
The partly paid-up shares of Reliance also go high by 8% to Rs.1,365 which converts into the market cap of Rs.57,815 crore or $7.82 billion.
So, currently the market valuation of Reliance, in total, becomes $200.68 billion which is nearly double of Tata Consultancy Services valued $119 billion.
It was a game that ebbed and flowed in both directions, but ultimately the experience of the Trinbago Knight Riders proved to be the difference,as they picked up an eight-wicket victory against the St.Lucia Zouks in the final of the 2020 Hero Caribbean Premier League. The win means that TKR have won the CPL title for a record fourth time.
In a cagey opening to the game, spinner Akeal Hosein beat the outside edge of Rahkeem Cornwall’s bat on a couple of occasions, but he was tonked for two fours by the burly batsman when he missed his length. Pacer Ali Khan however didn’t miss his length when he came on to bowl, as he knocked over Cornwall’s middle stump.
The early wicket didn’t deter the Zouks batsmen, as Mark Deyal picked up back-to-back fours off Hosein’s second over. Andre Fletcher too joined the party, getting two massive sixes off Sikander Raza’s over, getting 18 runs off it to push the score to 43/1 after four.

The 32-year-old continued to pile on the runs, scoring two photogenic cover drives to end the powerplay with 60 runs on the board- the highest powerplay score of the Zouks in CPL 2020. The game slowed down after the field restrictions were lifted, as the batting side focused on treading the gaps, barring a well timed six on the leg side from Deyal. That six however proved to be the last hurrah for the southpaw, as he was out caught at slip shortly after.
The wicket slowed down the scoring rate for the Zouks, as they added just 11 runs in the next two overs. Fletcher tried to free his arms against Pollard to release the tension, but picked out the fielder at long-off, as the Trinbago Knight Riders firmly got a foothold back in the contest.
Despite having two new players in Roston Chase and Najibullah Zadran in the middle, the Zouks added 25 runs in the next three overs, with Chase scoring a six on the leg side and Zadran getting a straight boundary. Chase however was foxed by a slower one from Pollard shortly after, leaving the Zouks at 115/4 after 14 overs.

Things got worse for the first time finalists, as new man Mohammad Nabi was sent back to the pavilion for single figures. Skipper Daren Sammy walked out to bat next, and started off with a massive six on the leg side. Zadran too supported his captain ably, scoring a flat six on the off side off Hosain’s bowling. The left-arm spinner however had something to celebrate later in the over, as he trapped Sammy leg before wicket with a quicker one.
It was the Trinbago Knight Riders who finished off strong, as the Zouks lost four wickets in the last two overs, folding for a score of 154.
Second Innings
It was a cautious start to the chase from TKR, as openers Lendl Simmons and Tion Webster added 13 runs off the first two overs. The next couple of overs brought with it two quick wickets, as Roston Chase dismissed Webster and Scott Kuggeleijn picked up Tim Seifert, to put the Zouks right back in the contest. At the end of the powerplay, the score read 40/2 for TKR, evenly poised.
With the field restrictions lifted, finding the gaps became more difficult, as the Zouks spinners began to mount the pressure. The next three overs yielded ten runs, as the fielding team began to get a foothold on the game. Simmons lifted the pressure off the chasing side with a big six on the leg side shortly before the drinks game, making for a tantalizing last ten overs.
TKR started brightly post the drinks break, getting 25 runs off the next two overs, courtesy mainly of two sixes and a four. The chasing side continued to pile on the runs, as new bowler Javelle Glenn went for 15 runs in his first over. The countercharge helped TKR get the team score past 100, and they now needed 54 off the last six overs.
The next over proved to be expensive as well, as Simmons and Bravo got nine runs off it to further chisel down the target. Kuggeleijn came back into the attack for the Zouks, and gave away just four runs, putting his team back in the contest. TKR however made up in no time, as they took the attack to Zahir Khan, getting three sixes in the overs to reduce the equation to a run a ball.
Things got worse for the first time finalists, as Simmons got a six and a four in the next over equation down to single figures. Needing just two runs off the last two overs, Bravo got a fortuitous inside edge that ran away to the boundary, to give the Trinbago Knight Riders an eight-wicket victory; and their fourth CPL title.
The last few weeks have been eventful for Barcelona, to say the very least. The 19-20 season saw Messi & co. deliver the fourth instalment of their dramatic Champions League exits. In the eyes of some fans, even outdoing the fiasco at Anfield last summer.
With another new manager at the helm, Barcelona is a club that needs a complete makeover to retain their place as one of Europe’s best teams. Let’s have a look at the way things are laid out for the boys in Catalunya.
Key Players
Lionel Messi
Marc Andre Ter Stegen
Gerard Pique
Frenkie De Jong
Antoine Griezmann
On paper, Barcelona seem like absolute world-beaters. And to be fair, most of their squad consists of world-class players. With the likes of Busquets and De Jong in midfield, one can expect some balance if they do turn up in a game. Although Pique is well into his 30s, the La Masia graduate still has a lot to give to his boyhood club.
Marc Andre Ter Stegen and Lionel Messi could be the only reasons why Barcelona are still where they are. Their individual brilliance is simply too hard to look past. Lastly, Antoine Griezmann has a chance at finally being played in his favoured striker position this season. If that does happen, he has enough talent to silence all of his doubters and critics from last season.
Winning Points
Barca have enough individual brilliance in their side with Messi leading the front line and Ter Stegen taking care of the back. Koeman can work well with big names as he has shown during his tenure coaching the Dutch national team, leading them to the finals of the Nations League against Portugal.
With the likes of Ansu Fati, Riqui Puig and Frenkie De Jong in the lineup, the future does look exciting for Barcelona. However, the youngsters must prove to the rest of the league that they can live up to the hype.
Challenges
Arguably the biggest challenge for Barcelona lies in teamwork. There has to be an improved sense of understanding and communication between the men on the pitch. The pressure of not only coaching but rebuilding an elite team like Barcelona can seem like a daunting task for anybody.
With that said, Koeman has all the tools. He simply has to make them work together like a well-oiled machine. There should be less reliance on individual brilliance, and more combined effort from the rest of the squad to ensure that the future of the club lies in safe hands.
Transfer Activity
Ivan Rakitic has been sold to his former club Sevilla. Old feet, such as those of Arturo Vidal and Luis Suarez look set to follow the Croatian out of Camp Nou to Italy. Vidal has been linked with a move to Inter, whereas Suarez has been rumoured to join CR7 at Turin. Coutinho completed his loan spell at Bayern and is said to be a part of the club this season.
Barca are also a part of the Wijnaldum-Thiago triangle and it remains to be seen how that turns out. With no new names in yet, Barca have been linked with Memphis Depay of Lyon strongly. The Dutch coach seems determined to reunite with the forward at the Nou Camp.
After personal terms agreed with Barça as reported yesterday, Memphis Depay is pushing to leave OL. Koeman wants him strongly. Depay would love to join Barcelona but there’s still no official bid from FCB [waiting to sell players and take decision about new signings]. 🔴 #FCBhttps://t.co/QfhRlOg3yY
While some might argue that Barcelona look destined to finish 2nd behind Real Madrid this season, I would disagree as I give Atletico a better chance of becoming runners up this season.
Rebuilding a club like Barcelona takes time, patience and money. Although they have world-class names on the team sheet every single week, I do not expect them to take the league by storm. Especially in the first season of the new manager.
Gionee’s next offering in its home country china is official and is being dubbed as Gionee M12 Pro which comes with mid-range specs but is priced relatively cheaper and is available for the price of some entry-level smartphone. Let’s have a look at the specifications of the Gionee M12 Pro first.
The Gionee M12 Pro sports a 6.2-inch display panel with HD+ resolution and there’s a waterdrop style notch for the front camera with a 90.3% screen-to-body ratio giving a seamless viewing experience.
As far as performance is concerned, the M12 Pro is powered by a MediaTek Helio P60 octa-core processor coupled with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage and the storage can be expanded using a microSD card. Further, the whole smartphone is backed up by a 4000mAh and you also get the fan-favorite 3.5mm audio jack and dual stereo speaker.
Speaking of optics, the smartphone features a triple camera setup in a square module on the top left corner consisting of a 16-megapixel main camera, a large wide-angle sensor, and a macro camera while the fourth camera in the module is fake one just to give impressions that its a quad-camera setup which is a bit skeptical for sure but considering its price point it’s fine. On the front, you get a 13-megapixel sensor housed in the waterdrop notch.
The smartphone is just available in one storage variant which is 6GB+128GB for CNY 700 in two color options of White and Blue with gradient glossy finish back panels.
The smartphone launch was first reported by GizmoChina.
The Bosnian international who was part of the Arthur swap deal has finally arrived at Barcelona having suffered from COVID-19, his journey to Camp Nou got delayed. Now, finally, the 30-year old has arrived at the city to be part of Koeman’s team.
He has arrived at El Prat Airport on Thursday evening, and he also interacted with the club media “today is a very special day for me and I’m very happy. I can’t wait to meet my new team-mates and I’m really looking forward to the new season. I hope I can help the team to win a lot of titles. I’m ready and I’m going to try to do everything I can for this club.”
“I feel ready and recovered. I have had a couple of weeks at home, but I have tried to stay fit. Now I’m looking forward to joining the group.”
The ex-Juventus player had been a major part of the team’s success in the Serie-A, was in Barca’s radar for quite some time. Getting him, sacrificing Arthur was heavily criticized by all, however, he is here to play as a preferred defensive midfielder role at the club under Koeman and we are all looking forward to this season.
In this current era of COVID-19, every smartphone manufacturer wants to contribute something through their technology for the sake of humanity. Nowadays, checking the heart rate, checking the oxygen amount in a body is quite important for our daily life.
There already a number of applications in the Play Store, which are claiming that they are able to monitor heart rate or the oxygen rate in a body. But 99% of them are just fraud. They ask for various permissions from the user as well as get access to the fingerprint of the user through the fingerprint scanner. At the end of the day, the user will be hacked.
But there are also some certified smartphone manufacturers, who use their certified apps or technology. Xiaomi has already introduced the Mi Health app last year. This is a primary application to find the health-related information the Mi devices are gathering – heart rate, steps, BMI, exercise goals, Health Scores, etc.
The XDA-Developers has confirmed that the v2.7.4 version of the app will now be able to measure your heart rate using just the camera of your phone (no additional sensors or hardware).
Let’s see how this feature will work. It is quite simple to use – you just have to put your index finger on the camera lens and wait until the progress bar gets to 100%. There are also some filters by which you can select what type of heart rate you want to measure, is it a general status, resting status, or was after exercise?
After the process, you will receive a complete heart test report, revealing whether the heart rate is slow, normal, or fast. The only extra thing you have to do is just clean your camera lens after testing.
Every time you use this feature, there will be a track record in the app’s dashboard. By this, users can easily keep track of their heart rate. This application is still not available on the Google Play Store so you can only use it if you sideload the APK.
