Babar Azam etched his name in the record books by becoming the most successful T20I captain recently. His milestone was achieved after Pakistan’s convincing victory over Ireland in the second T20I match.

Surpassing the previous record held by Brian Masaba of Uganda, Babar now boasts an impressive tally of 45 wins in 78 matches as Pakistan’s skipper.

The significance of Babar’s achievement was duly acknowledged by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman, Mohsin Naqvi, who presented Babar with a special jersey commemorating his 45 wins as captain.

Babar’s leadership journey has been nothing short of remarkable. With 78 appearances as captain in T20Is, he also surpassed Aaron Finch’s record for the most appearances as captain.

Journey of Babar Azam as Captain

Babar Azam took charge of the national team for the first time in T20Is. He was appointed captain for the first time for the series against Australia in 2019, a month before he turned 25.

Despite starting with a series loss, his record as captain reflects excellence, with Pakistan maintaining a commendable win-loss ratio in T20Is. His win percentage of 57.69 is the fifth-highest among ICC full-member captains who led in 50 or more games.

Under his leadership, Pakistan clinched nine T20I series victories, including a memorable tr-series triumph in New Zealand. However, the last of them came in October 2022.

Notable highlights include reaching the semi-final and final of the T20 World Cups in 2021 and 2022, respectively.

He also became the first Pakistan captain to defeat India in an ICC World Cup event, when he led his team to a ten-wicket victory over arch-rivals during the 2021 T20 World Cup.

Challenges and Resilience

Operating in one of cricket’s toughest captaincy roles, Babar has faced intense scrutiny and challenges. The Pakistan captaincy demands resilience amidst constant commentary and political instability.

Pakistan lost to Zimbabwe during the 2022 T20 World Cup, after which fans called for his removal, however, the team qualified for the finals miraculously, which silenced the voices.

His captaincy came once again under scanner after Pakistan recently leveled the home T20I series against a second-string New Zealand, followed by a loss against Ireland in the first T20I. However, the chairman of PCB has backed him as captain.

Despite criticism record suggest that he is arguably the best Pakistan captain in T20I cricket and he has the ability to lead Pakistan to World Cup glory, having come short twice in past.

As Pakistan gears up for the upcoming T20 World Cup, Babar’s leadership will be pivotal in guiding the team to success. While his records speak volumes, Babar needs to acknowledge the need to enhance his tactical acumen to lead Pakistan to victory on the global stage.

Pakistan’s emphatic victory over Ireland in the second T20I encounter was overshadowed by an unfortunate incident involving Pakistani pacer Shaheen Afridi and an Afghan spectator.

Reports emerged of the spectator allegedly misbehaving with Afridi as he made his way from the dressing room to the field.

Initially, Afridi chose to ignore the derogatory remarks from the Afghan fan. However, as the behaviour persisted, Afridi took prompt action by informing the security personnel present at the venue.

Swift measures were taken, and the spectator was promptly removed from the ground, ensuring the safety and dignity of the players.

Despite the off-field distraction, Pakistan exhibited a commanding performance on the field, securing a comprehensive seven-wicket victory over Ireland.

During the match, Shaheen Afridi achieved a significant milestone, reaching 300 wickets in international cricket with the dismissal of Irish captain Paul Stirling.

Mohsin Naqvi, the chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), presented Afridi with special jersey to honor his achievement after the match.

Initially, Pakistan faced early setbacks, losing Saim Ayub and skipper Babar Azam cheaply. However, Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman turned the tide with a remarkable partnership.

Rizwan and Fakhar’s monumental 140-run partnership, which surpassed Pakistan’s previous record for the third wicket in T20Is, laid the foundation for Pakistan’s successful chase.

Rizwan’s unbeaten 75 off 46 balls, complemented by Fakhar’s blistering 78 off 40 deliveries, propelled Pakistan towards victory.

Additionally, Azam Khan’s aggressive cameo of 30* off 10 balls further consolidated Pakistan’s position, ensuring a comfortable chase for the Men in Green.

Pakistan’s wicketkeeper-batter, Mohammad Rizwan, showcased his batting prowess in a spectacular unbeaten inning of 75 runs off just 46 balls during Pakistan’s seven-wicket victory over Ireland in the second T20I.

His outstanding performance earned him the coveted Man of the Match award, marking his 12th such accolade in T20Is.

Rizwan’s exceptional batting display not only contributed to Pakistan’s triumph but also highlighted his impressive batting average, making him only the second player in T20I history to boast an average of 50+. Joining the illustrious ranks alongside former Indian captain Virat Kohli, Rizwan’s average stands at an impressive 50.38, while Kohli’s is 51.75.

However, Rizwan’s bold statement after the match caught everyone’s attention, asserting that any player who plays for the average inevitably becomes an average player themselves.

During the post-match conference, he acknowledged the significance of focusing on the game’s demands rather than fixating solely on individual statistics.

Drawing inspiration from Kohli, Rizwan emphasized the importance of adapting to match situations and conditions to excel as a cricketer.

“If you look at the average, you are an average player. If you look at the conditions and what the game demands, that will make you better. We have learned a lot of things from Virat Kohli, I respect him,” Rizwan remarked, reflecting on his approach towards batting.

Rizwan also praised the resilience of the Ireland bowlers and highlighted the mindset adopted by the Pakistan batters during the chase. Despite the initial pressure, Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman orchestrated a remarkable partnership to steer Pakistan towards victory.

“They played really well against us. It was not an easy chase because the Ireland bowlers knew their conditions better, they gave us a difficult time early on, but we decided that chasing 194, we have to attack,” Rizwan stated, acknowledging the team’s collective effort.

As Pakistan gears up to face India in a highly anticipated clash at the upcoming T20 World Cup, the spotlight will undoubtedly be on the batting prowess of Rizwan and Kohli.

With the ICC T20 World Cup set to ignite the fervour of cricket fans worldwide, all eyes will be on the showdown between India and Pakistan on June 9th in New York, as these two luminaries aim to showcase their batting brilliance on the grand stage.

In a recent development, a Karachi court has granted bail to YouTuber Yasir Shami in connection with the video leak case involving Dr. Aamir Liaquat. The court’s decision came with certain conditions, requiring Yasir to appear before the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to provide his statement and submit Rs500,000 in surety bonds.

Yasir Shami had previously defied repeated summons, leading to the issue of an arrest warrant against him. Meanwhile, Dania Shah, the main accused in the case, also made an appearance in court. She has been out on bail, and witnesses have begun recording their statements in the ongoing legal proceedings.

Yasir Shami and Dania Shah’s Involvement

The news of these developments has sparked discussions on social media. Many follow the story closely. The case has its roots in the tragic passing of TV personality Dr. Aamir Liaquat in 2020, which marked the beginning of a series of legal battles for his children. Despite allegedly being divorced from Aamir, Dania Shah continued to be involved in legal matters related to his estate and inheritance.

Dania’s involvement in the video leak case, which reportedly emotionally affected Aamir Liaquat, resulted in her brief incarceration. She had also initiated legal proceedings to have Aamir’s body exhumed for post-mortem examination. These events have shed light on the complexities surrounding Aamir Liaquat’s personal life and the legal challenges faced by his family following his untimely demise at the age of 50.

The developments in the video leak case highlight significantly the importance of legal accountability and the need for due process in resolving disputes. As the legal proceedings continue, the public awaits further updates on the outcome of the case and its implications for all parties involved. We hope for a fair trial to continue.

Apple Apologizes Following Outrage Over ‘Crush’ iPad Ad

Apple is making headlines again, but this time it’s for an apology rather than a groundbreaking innovation. The tech titan recently found itself in hot water over a promotional video for its latest iPad Pro model titled “Crush.” The ad, which showcased a number of creative instruments like guitars and paintbrushes being crushed by an industrial machine, received swift backlash from online critics.

Online Criticism and Discontent

In response to the uproar, Apple issued a public apology through Ad Age magazine, acknowledging that they had missed the mark with the ad. The company expressed regret for not aligning with its core values of celebrating user creativity and apologized for any offense caused.

The controversy surrounding the “Crush” ad highlights a departure from Apple’s usual brand image. Historically, Apple has positioned itself as a nonconformist, human-friendly brand that champions creativity and innovation. However, the ad’s portrayal of destruction clashed with this image, leading to accusations of insensitivity.

Innovation During Controversy

Online commentators were quick to voice their discontent, emphasizing that the ad contradicted Apple’s ethos of empowering users to express themselves. Actor Hugh Grant took to social media platform X to criticize the ad, condemning it as “the destruction of the human experience courtesy of Silicon Valley.”

Despite the backlash, Apple’s marketing efforts have not gone unnoticed. The “Crush” ad garnered over a million views on Apple’s YouTube channel and received social media endorsement from CEO Tim Cook. However, the controversy overshadowed the promotional campaign, prompting Apple to issue an apology and redirect inquiries to the Ad Age report.

Lessons Learned for Apple

The timing of the ad debacle coincided with Apple’s unveiling of the new iPad Pro model, featuring a groundbreaking M4 chip for enhanced performance. The tablet boasts upgraded displays and is touted as the thinnest Apple product ever. Despite the product’s impressive specifications, the controversy surrounding the ad threatened to overshadow its launch.

The “Crush” ad controversy serves as a reminder of the importance of staying true to brand values and considering the sensitivities of consumers in promotional campaigns. As Apple moves forward, it will need to reassess its marketing strategies to ensure they align with its core principles of innovation, creativity, and user empowerment.

Huawei’s Pura 70 Pro: Mostly ‘Made in China’ With One Big Surprise

Huawei’s latest smartphone, the Pura 70 Pro, has been subject to a detailed teardown by repair tools companies and online reviewers, shedding light on its composition and performance. The examination revealed that the majority of components in the device are made in China, with one notable exception.

Chinese Components

The Pura 70 Pro, exclusive to the Chinese market, underwent thorough scrutiny by iFixit, with the assistance of Reuters in obtaining the device. The teardown provided insights into the smartphone’s internal structure and performance capabilities, particularly focusing on Huawei’s latest Kirin 9010 System on a Chip (SoC).

Comparisons between the Kirin 9010 and its predecessor, the Kirin 9000S, unveiled striking similarities. Both chips share the same model ID and exhibit comparable performance metrics. iFixit suggests that the 9010 may represent a refreshed version of the 9000S, potentially boasting improved yields and marginal performance enhancements. However, benchmarks indicate that the Kirin 9010 offers only a modest eight percent increase in speed over its predecessor, falling significantly short of competitors like Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

Challenges in Domestic Production

Additionally, the teardown highlighted Huawei’s increasing reliance on domestically sourced components. Notably, the device features a HiSilicon NAND chip with 1 TB of storage, a component unavailable in European models. While Huawei’s efforts to localize production are evident, certain components such as DRAM and motion sensors continue to be sourced from international suppliers due to existing constraints.

However, Huawei’s ambitions to achieve full domestic production face significant challenges, particularly in semiconductor manufacturing. The company’s reliance on deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography, in contrast to extreme ultraviolet (EUV) technology, poses obstacles to scaling production. With international sanctions restricting access to crucial EUV machines, Huawei’s semiconductor endeavors encounter substantial hurdles.

Despite investments in developing proprietary lithography tools, the feasibility of Huawei’s production aspirations remains uncertain. The absence of EUV technology in China’s semiconductor industry threatens the scalability of chip manufacturing, impeding efforts to produce modern processors at scale.

As Huawei navigates these challenges, the company’s ability to innovate and adapt to evolving semiconductor technologies will be crucial in sustaining its competitiveness in the global market. However, the road to achieving self-sufficiency in chip production is fraught with obstacles, underscoring the complexities of China’s semiconductor landscape in an era of heightened technological competition.

Former Pakistan captain Younis Khan has offered valuable advice to the national team’s top-order batters, including Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Fakhar Zaman, ahead of the highly anticipated T20 World Cup 2024.

Speaking to the media in Karachi, Khan emphasized the critical importance of scoring quick runs during the middle overs of T20I cricket, stressing the necessity of maintaining a healthy run rate of 8-9 runs per over post-powerplay.

“In modern T20 cricket, a score of 170 is no longer sufficient. Teams need to aim for at least 200 runs to secure a competitive advantage,” Khan stated, underlining the need for aggressive batting strategies to achieve this target.

He specifically addressed Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, and Mohammad Rizwan, urging them to elevate their batting tempo and adapt to the dynamic demands of contemporary T20 cricket.

“Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, and Rizwan will have to go to the next gear. Nowadays, more runs can be scored at a rapid pace,” Khan emphasized, highlighting the pivotal role of key players in shaping the team’s performance.

“It is the responsibility of the players to play aggressively and set a formidable total.”

Acknowledging the evolving nature of T20 cricket, Khan stressed the importance of flexibility and collective effort within the team, urging players to contribute effectively in various situations and positions.

“Captains need to think creatively, and players must step out of their comfort zones to support team objectives,” Khan remarked, advocating for a collaborative approach towards achieving success in the T20 World Cup.

As Pakistan embarks on their tour of Ireland, Khan’s words of wisdom serve as a guiding beacon for the team’s aspirations.

With the upcoming series serving as a crucial preparatory phase for the T20 World Cup, Pakistan aims to leverage their squad’s potential and secure their second title, following their triumph under Khan’s leadership in 2009.

With stalwarts like Mohammad Amir, who made his debut under Khan’s captaincy, the current squad holds promise for a successful campaign in the prestigious tournament.

Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has raised eyebrows over the omission of all-rounder Aamir Jamal from the national T20I squad for the upcoming series against Ireland and England.

As the Pakistan team gears up for a series of matches in Ireland followed by England, Afridi expressed his surprise during a press interaction in Karachi. He highlighted the absence of Mohammad Wasim Jr. and Aamir Jamal from the squad, despite their previous contributions.

“It’s surprising to see Mohammad Wasim Jr. being dropped after being in the team for a significant period,” Afridi remarked, questioning the selection decisions made by the team management.

He further emphasized the significance of Jamal, drawing comparisons to the legendary Abdul Razzaq. Afridi expressed bewilderment at Jamal’s exclusion, citing his potential as a valuable all-rounder for the team.

“After Abdul Razzaq, we saw a good all-rounder in Aamir Jamal, it’s surprising he wasn’t retained,” Shahid Afridi stated.

“A good captain takes important decisions in difficult times. We want Babar to become a great captain as much as he is a great player,” Afridi asserted, emphasizing the pivotal role of captaincy in achieving success in the upcoming T20 World Cup.

Afridi’s comments were in response to Babar’s explanation behind the exclusion of Jamal from the T20I squad format. Babar stated that the all-rounder needs to gain more experience and exposure in order to refine his skills for the fast-paced T20 format.

“Aamir Jamal performed admirably in Test cricket, but Test performance cannot be directly compared to T20s,” Babar stated. “In T20 cricket, we require a genuine hitter in the position where Jamal bats. He needs more time and matches to further polish his game for the T20 format.”

Mohammad Amir is set to link up with the Pakistan team for the upcoming three-match T20I series against Ireland, albeit with a slight delay in his arrival.

Scheduled to touch down in Dublin on Friday (today), Amir will not be able to feature in the first T20I against Ireland due to his delayed arrival and travelling fatigue. However, he remains a valuable asset for the subsequent matches on Sunday and Tuesday.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed on Thursday evening about the arrival of Amir’s visa, thanks to the concerted efforts by PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi.

Anxiety loomed at PCB headquarters as Amir’s visa situation unfolded, necessitating active engagement with Cricket Ireland to expedite the process.

All players, including Amir, had promptly submitted their visa applications following the Kakul camp, yet his visa’s delayed arrival posed a logistical hurdle.

Notably, Mohammad Amir faced a similar situation during the tours of Ireland and England in 2018. Amir’s cricketing journey has been riddled with highs and lows, epitomized by his tumultuous past.

Following a five-year ban by the International Cricket Council (ICC) in a spot-fixing scandal in 2010, Amir embarked on a journey of redemption upon his return to international cricket in 2016.

His crowning moment came during the ICC Champions Trophy 2017, where his stellar performance played a pivotal role in Pakistan’s triumphant victory over arch-rivals India in the final.

However, amidst personal and professional tribulations, including a brief retirement in December 2020 citing mental torture, Amir’s recent comeback to international cricket signifies a renewed commitment to the sport he loves.

As the sun rises on May 16, Pakistani drivers will find a silver lining at the gas stations. The cost of filling up their tanks is about to get lighter, and it’s not just a minor adjustment. Brace yourselves for a whopping 12 PKR decrease in petrol prices per liter! But what’s driving this change, and how does it impact the average citizen? Let’s dive into the details.

The Global Trend

Petrol prices are like a seesaw, swaying with the winds of international markets. Recently, the trend has been in our favor. Globally, gasoline prices have dipped by 6.32 dollars per barrel, bringing the cost down to approximately $99.93 per barrel. This downward shift is a breath of fresh air for consumers who have been feeling the pinch at the pump.

But wait, there’s more! Diesel prices are also doing a happy dance. Expect a Rs 9.70 per liter reduction, mirroring the global decrease to $99.08 per barrel. For those who rely on diesel-powered vehicles—whether for work or travel—this news couldn’t come at a better time. It’s a nod to affordability and a smoother ride ahead.

The Bigger Picture

Now, let’s zoom out. Why are we witnessing this price drop? It’s not a random occurrence. Reports reveal that Pakistan experienced an 11% annual decline in petroleum product sales during the first ten months of the current financial year. Fewer people are buying petrol, diesel, and related products compared to previous years. But why?

In May, the government took proactive steps to ease the burden on citizens. On May 1, petrol prices dipped by Rs 5.45, settling at Rs 288.49 per liter (down from the previous Rs 293.94). Diesel followed suit, shedding Rs 8.42, now priced at Rs 290.38 per liter (previously Rs 298.80). But it’s not just petrol and diesel; light-speed diesel (LSD) and kerosene oil also saw reductions. LSD prices dropped by Rs 5.63 per liter, while kerosene oil became Rs 8.74 per liter lighter.

Numbers don’t lie. From July 2023 to April 2024, Pakistan sold a total of 12,443,000 metric tons of petroleum products—an 11% decrease compared to the previous year. In April alone, sales dipped by 6% compared to the same month last year and 4% compared to March. These fluctuations highlight the importance of monitoring global and domestic trends in the petroleum market. It’s not just about fuel; it’s about the economy and our daily lives.

So, fellow drivers, rejoice! Starting May 16, you’ll be saving money at the pump. Whether you’re cruising through the busy streets of Karachi or navigating the scenic highways of Lahore, your wallet will thank you. Keep an eye on those prices, stay informed, and enjoy the ride!

ChatGPT And Its Potential ‘Not Safe For Work’ Uses

ChatGPT’s capabilities span from writing essays and poems to answering questions and even creating fictional narratives. However, one area that has sparked both curiosity and controversy is its potential to generate explicit content. As OpenAI continues to refine its models, the question arises: How can ChatGPT handle NSFW (Not Safe For Work) content responsibly?

The NSFW ChatGPT Use We All Fear

ChatGPT’s ability to generate explicit or adult content has been a topic of debate since its inception. While some users appreciate its creative freedom, others worry about the ethical implications. After all, AI-generated text can easily cross boundaries, leading to unintended consequences. As the technology advances, striking the right balance becomes crucial.

As of now, OpenAI’s guidelines strictly prohibit the use of ChatGPT for creating NSFW content. The company emphasizes responsible AI usage and aims to prevent harmful or inappropriate outputs. However, this stance doesn’t mean that OpenAI is turning a blind eye to the issue. In fact, the company has acknowledged the need for a nuanced approach.

OpenAI’s Model Spec Document

Recently, OpenAI released its Model Spec document, outlining the principles and guidelines that govern its AI models. Within this document, there’s a section dedicated to handling NSFW content. Here’s what we know:

ChatGPT Rules

  1. Responsible Experimentation: OpenAI recognizes that outright banning NSFW content may not be the most effective solution. Instead, the company is exploring ways to allow ChatGPT to generate such content responsibly. This means striking a balance between creative expression and ethical boundaries.
  2. Pornography and Beyond: While the focus is often on explicit sexual content, OpenAI’s considerations extend beyond that. The goal is not only to handle erotic text but also to address descriptions or portrayals of violence. The challenge lies in defining clear guidelines that protect users while allowing for artistic expression.
  3. User Feedback and Iteration: OpenAI actively seeks feedback from users and the wider community. This iterative process ensures that the model evolves in response to real-world usage and user concerns. As the technology matures, we can expect more refined guidelines.

Pakistan And The Road Ahead With ChatGPT

As we discuss this issue for the Pakistani people, cultural context matters. Pakistan, a country having rich literary tradition, grapples with the tension between artistic freedom and societal norms. While explicit content remain a taboo topic, there’s a growing interest in exploring AI-generated narratives.

It remains uncertain whether OpenAI’s experimentation into handling NSFW content responsibly might lead to a minor relaxation of its usage policy. Could we see a future where ChatGPT generates erotic text within well-defined boundaries? Or will OpenAI tread cautiously, ensuring that any relaxation aligns with community values? Are we going towards another app ban in Pakistan? Who knows.

Advertisements, in short, have to be subtle. Companies that are hiding a double-meaning in a logo intentionally and sometimes unintentionally or working some Photoshop magic meets the criteria of smart. It becomes a win-win situation for advertisers when the audience starts talking about the product.

Advertising is supposed to be impactful and intelligent without overpowering. David Ogilvy was quoted to say,

“A good advertisement is one which sells the product without drawing attention to itself.”

A lot of times, brands encourage us to look closer at the logos, increasing brand recognition.

2. Gillette

3. Amazon

5. Pinterest

The social media site allows users to pin images they found onto the web onto a blank canvas. Notice the pin hidden in the “P.”

6. NBC

The broadcaster brought the saying, “As proud as a peacock” to life in their logo. The white space in the logo creates a peacock which represents NBC’s status as a loud and proud broadcaster.

7. Baskin Robbins

8. Tostitos

Saudi Arabia is eyeing the opportunity to host some of WWE’s grandest events, with WrestleMania topping their wishlist. The kingdom’s desire to bring these spectacles to its shores marks a historic ambition for international entertainment.

While specifics of the enhanced partnership are yet to be revealed, Alalshikh expressed Saudi Arabia’s aspiration to host either the WWE Royal Rumble or the illustrious WrestleMania. Such a feat would be unprecedented, as neither of these flagship events has ever ventured beyond the borders of the United States or Canada.

The prospect of WrestleMania gracing Saudi Arabian soil may not materialize until 2026, as WrestleMania 41 is already slated for Las Vegas. However, the venue for next year’s Royal Rumble remains undisclosed.

Competition and Collaboration

Alalshikh’s remarks emerged amidst an announcement concerning a collaboration between Riyadh Season and the UFC, further solidifying ties with TKO Group Holdings, the parent company of both organizations. Nevertheless, Saudi Arabia faces competition in its bid to host WrestleMania, with London, England also emerging as a potential future venue.

WWE’s enduring partnership with Saudi Arabia dates back to 2018, marked by a controversial 10-year agreement with the Saudi General Sports Authority. Since then, WWE has staged regular premium live events in the kingdom, featuring marquee matchups and legendary wrestlers.

Notable moments include Shawn Michaels coming out of retirement to compete and hosting the largest Royal Rumble in history. WWE has also championed progress in female representation, enabling women to participate in events—a significant development since the partnership’s inception.

As WWE prepares to return to the Middle East this month, the prospect of Saudi Arabia hosting WWE’s major premium live events remains uncertain. However, the kingdom’s ambition underscores its growing prominence as a global entertainment hub.
