Ben stokes called back from pavilion to bat again, after he was given out on No-ball
Ben Stokes, the English all-rounder was a happy man when he was called back to the crease to bat, after initially being given out by the on-field umpires. The third umpire Chris Gaffaney, then noticed that Alzarri Joseph had over-stepped while bowling the that gave him Stokes wicket when Stokes was batting at 52.
By the time, the error came into the notice, Stokes had already reached dressing room, and was sitting on his chair, when he was called back to bat again.
Speaking of the incident after the day’s end, Stokes, thanked god for technology and added that he had got get back into the frame of mind all of a sudden to bat again.
The earlier rule was tweaked in 2017, which now allows a batsman to be called back in case of erroneous decisions being made by the on-field umpires even if the batsman has crossed the boundry ropes to enter change rooms.
“I didn’t take my pads off, I was just sat in my chair. I actually thought someone had got out first ball when everyone started shouting.
“Everyone just started shouting: ‘No ball,’ and: ‘You’re in.’ It was bizarre. I just had to get back into the frame of mind. There was obviously a lot of cheering and I could have seen the funny side of it. But I said to myself: ‘Get back into the frame of mind, don’t look at it as an opportunity, just try and be not out at the end of the day.’”

“Modi has opened his legs for Israel,” says US journalist during broadcast
New Delhi: A remark made by an American journalist about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s foreign policy stance towards Israel has triggered discussions online after a clip from a recent broadcast went viral on social media.
Ana Kasparian, co-host and executive producer of the progressive US news programme The Young Turks (TYT), made the comment while discussing Israel’s influence on global alliances and the foreign policies of various countries.
During the segment, Kasparian said: “It looks like Narendra Modi opening up his legs to Israel. Congratulations.”
The statement came in the context of a broader discussion by the programme’s hosts on Israel’s relations with global powers. Kasparian and her co-host Cenk Uygur criticised what they described as one-sided alliances with Israel and argued that such partnerships could draw countries into conflicts in the Middle East.
The discussion also touched on India’s growing strategic ties with Israel, including cooperation in defence, technology and agriculture. Some foreign media outlets have recently highlighted India’s positions in international forums, including votes related to the Gaza situation at the United Nations, as evidence of a shift in its traditional foreign policy stance.
The clip from the broadcast has circulated widely on social media platforms, with users in India and abroad sharing and debating the remark. Some users translated the comment into Hindi and other languages, further expanding its reach online.
Kasparian has previously drawn criticism from pro-Israel groups for her comments on the Israel-Gaza conflict. Her remarks in the latest broadcast have also prompted mixed reactions online, with some users condemning the language used and others engaging in discussions about India’s foreign policy alignment.
