Vijay Hazare Trophy: MS Dhoni dismissed for 9 but Jharkhand pip J&K by 9 runs

Vijay Hazare Trophy

Mahendra Singh Dhoni scored only 9 runs on his return to domestic cricket but Jharkhand managed to beat a spirited Jammu and Kashmir by 9 runs in the opening group B league match of the Vijay Hazare Trophy, in Alur on Thursday.
Batting first, Jharkhand were all out for 210 in 50 overs but then bowled well to restrict J&K to 201 for seven in 50 overs. Dhoni, who played for his home state after eight long years, lasted 24 balls before he tried to hit 22-year-old left-arm spinner Waseem Raza and in the process was caught Parveez Rasool.

India's limited overs captain came into bat at the start of the 21st over but the slowness of the pitch made it difficult to play his strokes. Save a solitary boundary, he found it difficult to even nudge around as Rasool (1/30 in 10 overs) and Raza (3/21 in 10 overs) kept batsmen under check.
Apart from Ishank Jaggi, who scored 54 opening the innings and Kaushal Singh (53), none of the other Jharkhand players even crossed 20. When J&K batted, it was the turn of left-arm spinner and IPL regular Shahbaz Nadeem (3/28) to torment the opposition while India's Test pacer Varun Aaron (0/52 in 10 overs) was taken to task by Rasool.
While Aaron captained the side, it was virtually Dhoni, who led the side as his experience of bowling changes came in handy in the end. Opener Shubham Khajuria (60) wasted too many balls during his 106-ball knock. Rasool looked in good touch scoring 63 off 67 balls before he was bowled off a Jaskaran delivery ending J&K chances of winning the match.
Brief Scores: Jharkhand 210 in 50 overs (MS Dhoni 9, Ishank Jaggi 54, Kaushal Singh 53, Waseem Raza 3/31) Jammu and Kashmir 201/7 in 50 overs (Parveez Rasool 63, Shubham Khajuria 60, Shahbaz Nadeem 3/28). Jharkhand won by 9 runs. Points: Jharkhand 4; J&K 0.

iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus Review

For most of the reviews here at Gadgets 360, we use the mobile in question as our primary phone for about a week or so before sharing our verdict with you. We realise this isn't perfect, since there are some aspects of the device that don't become obvious during that time, and in an ideal world, we'd use every phone for a couple of months before we publish our review. But we work under constraints where most devices aren't available to us for that long - almost all products that we review are loaned to us by companies for short durations - and there's also the competitive pressure of wanting to get your review out before others do, as long as it doesn't involve cutting any corners. With the launch of iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus in India, Apple offered to loan the two new iPhones to Gadgets 360 - and indeed other publications - for more than the typical timeframe of a few days. The India iPhone launch of course came a few we...

Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have made these Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies at least 20 times now. Not exaggerating. I first made these when we were in the Philippines, when it was a struggle to just keep butter solid for 2 seconds on the counter, and they were absolutely incredible. I had no idea how or why, but they just WORKED. And they blew my mind in the way only a perfect chocolate chip cookie really can. But then every once in a while, they didn’t work. I’m not always super exact with my baking, but still. They were not thick and chewy and buttery like the perfect cookie should be. Some of your comments said the same things – most of the time they worked, but sometimes they didn’t. And I don’t like that. Now I’m back home in dry, cool Minnesota and I have been waiting for this day just so I could figure out what would really make these cookies awesome for you. You who live in normal climates and shop at Cub Foods. I am now speaking your cookie-baking language. Since I’m re...
