IPL 2020: The reasons behind CSK’s poor form in their last two matches

Day 7 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 featured a match of heavyweights Chennai Super Kings against the relatively young Delhi Capitals side.

Just one week into the IPL has produced another upset as Super Kings suffered a huge and embarrassing loss by 44 runs. Even though it’s pretty early days, it’s quite evident that the three-time champions are struggling to find some sort of rhythm.

CSK has been facing some troubles even before the tournament had started. The COVID-19 pandemic tailored the CSK camp as 13 of their staff including two players were tested positive. This unfortunate incident was followed by two of their veterans Suresh Raina and Harbhajan Singh withdrawing from the tournament.

(PC- espncricinfo.com)

Their opening match against MI went well as they comfortably won the match. However, in the next two matches, things seemed to have fallen out of place. Senior player Ambati Rayadu got injured as well which created another void in the already altered side. Speaking in the post-match conference, coach Stephen Fleming expressed concerns as well.

Coach Fleming admits that the side is struggling!

We just need to be a little bit clear with what we’re doing. And what perhaps we’re missing is a bigger contribution at the top so yeah there’s a lot of question marks and a lot of souls searching, in particular from the coaching point of view and the strategy point of view but we’re trying to find combinations where we get the best players at the right times and to keep shunting the order all over the place is not really our style but we’ve had a go at it and we’ll review how it’s gone.” admitted Fleming.

The pattern in their last two matches has been sort of similar. In their match against RR, pace bowler Lungi Ngidi and both the spinner Piyush Chawla and Ravindra Jadeja were brutally targeted. In yesterday’s match, they did make an adjustment of having Josh Hazlewood in place of Ngidi which worked. But spinners were still attacked.

As per batting is concerned, the openers have failed to contribute. The replacement Ruturaj Gaikwad has been struggling as well. Faf du Plessis has to handle both the top and middle order. Also, it has been noted that MS Dhoni comes to bat very late. The match has already slipped out of CSK’s hands when he comes to bat. They will have to make some changes and reiterate their plans.

Google pushes hard for developers to pay 30% on in-app billing service

Google pushes hard for developers to pay 30% on in-app billing service

Every developer that hosts its app’s Google Play Store has to comply with the rules of the Android creator. For apps containing in-app purchases, one has to follow one basic rule which has been in place or many years.

Every app that uses in-app purchases has to carry out the payments using Google in-app billing service. This service allows the company to acquire a cut of 30% on every purchase.

While this rule has existed for years. Some major developers like Netflic Inc, Spotify, Epic games, etc, have circumvented the rule. They prompt consumers to pay using a credit card, rather than their play app store account. This allows them to bypass google’s fee. Last year, even the Tinder dating app launched a similar payment process.

Google now however plans to push harder to developers to give the company a cut of in-app purchases.

The Alphabet plans to use updated guidelines, that clarify a requirement for most apps to use Google’s billing service for in-app purchases. Allowing the company to benefit from 30% of purchases from apps on android.

  • page Google pushes hard for developers to pay 30% on in-app billing service

Recently, Epic Games launched a new payment method for its players. This allows consumers to buy in-game upgrades and pay Epic directly. This however resulted in Fortnite being pulled out of app stores from both Apple and Google.

Epic however sued both the tech giants.

Reports claim that Google will give time to developers to update their apps. They will not be removed immediately from the app store.

The updated guidelines don’t necessarily mean a complete revamp of Google policies. Rather it means the company will no longer allow developers to prompt users to pay with their credit. This is a crackdown on developers who doesn’t offer subscription through Google’s billing service for in-app purchases.

Google’s existing Play Store guidelines say, in part:

  • Developers offering products within a game download on Google Play or providing access to game content must use Google Play In-app Billing as the method of payment.
  • Developers offering products within another category of the app downloaded on Google Play must use Google Play In-app Billing as the method of payment, except for the following cases:
  • Payment is solely for physical products.
  • Payment is for digital content that may be consumed outside of the app itself (e.g. songs that can be played on other music players).

Google however has more or less allowed some high-profile companies to circumvent its guidelines. Now, however, Google is ready to make all developers comply with its policies or face enforcement.

Last week some major developers of in Tech market banded together primarily against Apple, and formed what is now called “Coalition for App Fairness”. This coalition included the likes of Epic Games, Spotify, and Tile. The group’s aim is to “create a level playing field for app businesses.”

Google’s new updated policies will surely escalate this ugly battle of developers.

Android being an open-source platform allows is users to access multiple app stores. But if developers want to be in the Play Store, they have to abide by Google’s rules.

A Google spokesperson said in a statement, “As an open platform, Android allows multiple app stores. In fact, most Android devices come with at least two stores right out of the box, and users can install others,”. He also added, “For developers who choose to distribute their apps on Google Play, our policy has always required them to use Play’s billing system if they offer in-app purchases of digital goods. We are always working with our partners to clarify these policies and ensure they are applied equitably and reasonably.”

Apple’s App Store has the same requirement as Google Play for in-app purchases and billing. Both companies exempt purchases for physical goods. Apple, however, does not let developers point users to outside websites to subscribe, but Google does.

App store fees generate billions of dollars in high-margin revenue for both Google and Apple each year. This revenue is termed by many developers as un-warranted tax.

The complete report will only be clarified after Google announces its final stance on in-app purchases next week. Will Google’s updated policies be as strict as Apple’s? only time will tell.

Realme Under-display selfie camera technology will be set to mass-production by next year

Technology is improving day by day so as the modern age smartphone. From a single rear camera to the quad rear camera setup we’ve come a long way. Not only the case of the rear camera but also for selfie cameras we’ve come a long way too. Starting from those mounted selfie camera, then comes the waterdrop notch, punch hole, dual-punch hole now we’re using. The main thinking behind the improvements of the selfie camera is that most of the screen will be visible to the user.

Nowadays after the punch-hole selfie camera, another technology is in the making, which is the under-display selfie camera. In this case, anybody can not see the camera as it’ll be under the main display. When the user will on the selfie camera, it will be automatically on from under the display. By this, the user can enjoy the absolutely full-screen display without any kind of disruption by any selfie notch.

According to some recent reports, Xiaomi is working right now in this technology and from the next year, the company will produce a bunch of smartphones featuring truly under-display selfie cameras. We also hope the OEMs will make improvements in the camera out quality.

Alleged Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 4G gets certified by MIIT

It’s time for the tenth Redmi Note device after the ninth iteration and as per Xiaomi’s naming convention the upcoming Note smartphone is going to be dubbed as Redmi Note 10 and according to several reports it is being recently certified by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT).

According to reports, a new Xiaomi phone bearing model number M2007J22C was certified by China’s MIIT earlier this month and now another phone having model number M2010J19SC has received MIIT’s approval while the later one is a 4G variant of the alleged Redmi Note 10 the first one is said to be the Redmi Note 10 5G.

Xiaomi M2010J19SC Alleged Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 4G gets certified by MIIT

The MIIT certificate doesn’t reveal many details about the alleged Redmi Note 10 4G (M2010J19SC) and chances are that the “2010” in the model number hints towards the October launch while some other reports have also claimed that Xiaomi is expected to announce the Redmi 10 lineup in October.

The basic Redmi 10 series has three smartphones under it the  Redmi 10X 4G, Redmi 10X 5G, and Redmi 10X Pro 5G and according to reports Xiaomi is expected to follow the same pattern for the Redmi Note 10 lineup which means it would include three smartphones namely Redmi Note 10 4G, Redmi Note 10 5G and Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G.

As far as specifications are concerned, Redmi Note 10 is expected to be powered by Mediatek’s Dimensity 820 chipset coupled with 8GB of RAM and Dimensity 820 is a 5G enabled chipset which even concretes the claims of the Redmi Note 10 lineup having at least a single 5G smartphone. It is also expected to feature a 64MP sensor in the primary camera configuration.

Some new reports have also suggested that the Redmi Note 10 will be a rebranded Mi smartphone and to be precise it is expected to be a rebadged Mi 10 Lite 5G which is powered by the Snapdragon 730G.

As of now, there’s no concrete information available regarding both the smartphones having model number M2007J22C and M2010J19SC but we expect it to appear on other certification websites so that more information can be gathered about these smartphones and while there are rumors of a third Redmi 10 smartphone but nothing is sure about that at this point of time so that might or might not make it to the end consumers or chances are that there could no third smartphone in the Redmi Note 10 series.
