Earlier today, speaking to reporters in Hassan after visiting the historic Hasanamba temple in Hassan, Kumaraswamy read out excerpts from a written script of what he described as a WhatsApp conversation between an unidentified person and Latha Kumari's personal assistant Shashikiran. In course of the conversation, the information about the bribery is revealed, he said.

He claimed the Deputy Commissioner's office was involved in collecting bribes from stone crusher owners and residential layout developers for granting permissions and clearing land conversion files. As evidence, he released copies of WhatsApp chats that exposed a widespread corruption racket involving middlemen and senior district officials.

The minister alleged that Shashikiran was collecting bribes through intermediaries and handing over the money to her.  He also alleged that District In-charge Minister KM Shivalingegowda was also involved in the corruption network and a bribe of Rs 75 lakh has been paid to Shivalingegowda to prevent Latha Kumari's transfer.

The officer said a police case is being filed and after a "thorough investigation, whatever is false will come to light".

"Spreading such fake news is an unforgivable crime. Spreading false information to defame someone, weaken them, target them, or put them down is something we have never done, will not do in the future, nor have we done in the past, and we are not doing it now. We are giving a complaint to the police and bringing out the truth," she added.

"I am stating once again that we have never engaged in any unauthorised activities. If our PA or their section has sent any such erroneous message, strict action will be taken. Furthermore, if anyone continues to circulate such false information and fake news to the press and public, I will trace them down decisively," she said. 

"We have never done anything wrong, nor are we doing it, nor will we do it. I want to make this message very clear, and I request everyone not to believe it. Let this be investigated; whoever is at fault must face strict action and bear the consequences," she added.

Arif, playing his maiden first class season, cracked nine boundaries and a six in his impressive 51-ball knock. He reached his fifty in just 46 balls, becoming the Pakistan batter with the fastest half-century on the first innings of his Test debut.

Sri Lanka, who entered the Test with four pacers and without a frontline spinner, had to wait until the 16th over for a breakthrough when Milan Rathnayaka had Awais caught behind by wicketkeeper Kusal Mendis. 

It became 90-2 when Asitha Fernando found an edge off Arif's bat to Mendis, giving the visitors some consolation.

Allrounder Arafat Minhas and pacer Saqib Khan are also making Test debuts for Pakistan.

Madison, NVIDIA's senior director of marketing, was scheduled to arrive in Seoul on Monday for a three-day visit. However, the company informed the South Korean government of the cancellation on Sunday afternoon, citing family-related circumstances, according to South Korean broadcaster SBS News.

Her decision has drawn attention as she has accompanied her father during several high-profile engagements in South Korea, including meetings with leading business executives, a baseball event where Jensen Huang threw the ceremonial first pitch, and an interaction with the country's president.

In her role at NVIDIA, Madison has also helped her father strengthen the company's engagement with South Korean political and business leaders.

The cancellation comes as Jensen Huang faces mounting scrutiny in the US over allegations involving Alice Huang, an IT entrepreneur who was reportedly in a romantic relationship with the NVIDIA chief.

According to a report by The New York Times, US intelligence officials view Alice Huang as an alleged intelligence asset of the Chinese government, with concerns that she may have passed sensitive information to Beijing.

Paul Mozur, global technology correspondent at The New York Times, said US intelligence authorities consider her an intelligence asset who could be sharing information with China.

The controversy has also raised questions about semiconductor sales involving a company associated with Alice Huang. The company reportedly purchased NVIDIA chips worth 7 trillion won over the past two years, fuelling suspicions that a substantial portion of the semiconductors may have been diverted to China.

These allegations have added another layer to concerns in Washington over the transfer of advanced semiconductor technology to China.

The controversy is gathering pace in Washington, where US lawmakers have sought clarity from Jensen Huang over whether he will appear at a congressional hearing.

According to SBS News, the US Congress has asked the NVIDIA CEO to confirm his attendance by November 11.

Against this backdrop, Madison's last-minute decision to cancel her South Korea visit has triggered speculation that the family may be dealing with the escalating controversy in the US.

While NVIDIA cited family-related circumstances for the cancellation, it has not publicly established any connection between the decision and the allegations surrounding her father.

The episode also highlights how the intensifying intelligence and technology rivalry between Washington and Beijing could have consequences extending beyond the two countries, reaching even high-profile corporate engagements in South Korea.

The spotlight on Jensen Huang has extended beyond his professional life after reports emerged of an alleged Chinese intelligence operation targeting him. His wife, Lori Huang, and their children, Spencer and Madison, have since attracted greater interest, particularly regarding their personal lives and professional pursuits.

The family has been in the headlines following Huang's admission of infidelity in an email to Nvidia employees on Nov. 8, 2026, in which he acknowledged hurting his wife and children and expressed regret.

Who is Jensen Huang's wife, Lori Huang?

Lori Huang and Jensen Huang's story began long before Nvidia became a global technology giant. The two met as engineering students at Oregon State University, where Lori Mills, as she was then known, was 19 and Jensen was 17. Their marriage, which dates back to 1985, has now lasted more than 40 years.

Jensen has previously shared an account of how their romance took shape. He approached Lori by offering academic assistance, and what started as Sunday sessions devoted to studying soon became something more. Their friendship eventually blossomed into a relationship, culminating in marriage.

Lori Huang has largely stayed away from the public attention that comes with her husband's high-profile position in the technology industry. Much of her work has centred on charitable causes. Alongside Jensen, she established the Jen-Hsun and Lori Huang Foundation, which funds programmes in education, medical care, scientific research and technology. The couple has also supported Oregon State University, where their academic journeys began, through significant donations.

What do Spencer and Madison Huang do?

Spencer and Madison Huang have carved out their own professional paths at Nvidia, following in the footsteps of their father, Jensen Huang, although their routes into the company have been different.

Madison currently works as a senior director of product marketing, with a focus on Nvidia's physical AI platforms. Her career began outside the technology sector. She attended the Culinary Institute of America and went on to work as a chef before gaining experience with LVMH, the French luxury conglomerate. A subsequent MBA from London Business School helped prepare her for a transition into the corporate world. She became part of Nvidia in 2020.

Spencer Huang has taken a different route into the technology industry. He currently works in product management at Nvidia, specialising in robotics and simulation. His association with the company began in 2022, after several years spent exploring opportunities in other sectors.

An alumnus of Columbia College Chicago, Spencer also has an entrepreneurial background. While living in Taiwan, he co-founded R&D Cocktail Lab, a cocktail bar that he operated for a number of years. He subsequently enrolled at New York University's Stern School of Business to complete an MBA.

The two Huang siblings now hold senior roles at Nvidia, bringing their professional journeys into sharper focus as the company continues to expand its influence in artificial intelligence. Their positions and pay packages have also drawn scrutiny amid the company's growing global prominence.

“I'm a huge fan of yours,” Mohit told Salman, who graciously acknowledged the compliment. The singer had another heartfelt confession to make.

“But I'm an even bigger fan of your father,” he added.

Mohit then went on to honour Salim Khan by singing the song ‘Mujhe Tumse Mohabbat Hai, Magar Main Keh Nahi Sakta' from the 1963 film Bachpan. Interestingly, Salim Khan had appeared as an actor in the film, long before establishing himself as one of Hindi cinema's most celebrated screenwriters.

The beautiful musical tribute struck an emotional chord with Salman. The actor quietly turned to the side as he tried to control his tears, seemingly overwhelmed by the moment. The heartfelt exchange also moved several contestants inside the Bigg Boss house, who were also emotional.

Salman Khan's bond with Salim Khan

In a recent episode of Bigg Boss, Salman recalled a conversation with his father. Salman revealed that he had apologised to him for any mistakes he might have made as a son.

“We all have regrets, and then we repent. Like the other day, I was talking to my father; we were chilling, and I told him, as a son, if I have said anything at any given point of time or I have failed you, then I am really sorry,” Salman shared.

Harrdy Sandhu Joins the Diwali Party

Harrdy Sandhu entered the set to add to the celebratory mood. His performance gave another musical element to the episode, and he even expressed his interest to collaborate with Yung on a song when he returns from the Bigg Boss 20 house.

During his time, the housemates were also given a fun task. They were asked to identify the different personalities using the phrases provided. Uditi was asked to identify the house's meethi churri, and she named Love. Aamrapali was asked who keeps “hisaab in friendships” and she pointed to Yung. Kanika believed Scout was the one sailing in two boats.

Yung referred to Qazi Touqeer as "Baaton ka Baadshah," which made everyone laugh. Gullu was asked who had the habit of "aag lagake haath sekna," and he immediately chose Mahhi Vij. ScoutOP was finally asked to choose the person who was "bechara in his own story," and he chose himself.

The statements followed reports about his relationship with Alice Huang, a former executive of Singapore-based technology company Megaspeed. In a message to employees, the 63-year-old CEO accepted responsibility for his actions and apologised to his family and colleagues. "I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children," he said. 

The development came as Nvidia announced an independent investigation into concerns that Huang may have been the target of a foreign intelligence operation linked to China.

Huang is also known for his massive wealth, which he built from Nvidia. From expensive homes in California and Hawaii to luxury cars and private jet travel, here's a closer look at his wealth, properties, cars and charitable work.

Net Worth

Huang co-founded Nvidia in 1993 with Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem. The company first made computer graphics chips which helped computers create and display images. Today, it makes some of the most widely used chips for artificial intelligence.

By 2026, Nvidia's annual revenue had crossed $200 billion. Its market value also crossed $5 trillion, making it one of the most valuable companies in the world.

Jensen Huang has been Nvidia's CEO since the company started. He owns around 4% of the company. Most of his wealth comes from these shares. His salary is reported to be less than $2 million a year. 

His net worth is estimated to be over $155 billion as of November 2026, according to the Bloomberg Billionaire Index. 

Luxury Homes Worth Over $50 Million

Huang and his wife, Lori, own expensive homes in California and Hawaii. Their known properties are estimated to be worth more than $50 million, WSJ reported. One of their homes is in Los Altos Hills, California. The couple bought it in 2003 for around $6.9 million.

The house has six bedrooms and covers more than 7,000 square feet. It also has a large garden and a swimming pool. The property is located close to Nvidia's main office in Santa Clara.

In 2004, the couple bought another home in Maui, Hawaii, for around $7.5 million. The house covers nearly 8,000 square feet and has seven bedrooms. It is part of a private gated community near the beach. The property also has a swimming pool and views of the ocean.

Their most expensive known home is in Pacific Heights, San Francisco. Huang reportedly bought it in 2017 for around $38 million. The mansion covers more than 11,400 square feet. It has a library, a private lift, a home theatre and a gym. It also has two rooms for storing wine and several fireplaces. The house offers views of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Car Collection

Huang has been linked to several expensive cars. He has been seen driving a Porsche 911 Turbo (approx. Rs 3.8 crore). Another of his cars is the Lamborghini Urus. It is a luxury SUV with a powerful engine priced at roughly Rs 4 crore.

Huang owns a few Tesla cars. These include two white Tesla Model S sedans and a Tesla Model X SUV. One of his recent purchases is a Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600. There have also been reports linking him to Ferrari and Koenigsegg cars.

Huang travels to different countries for business meetings and technology events. Reports have linked him to a Bombardier Global 7500 private jet.

Lifestyle

Huang is known for wearing a black leather jacket at company events and public appearances. The Nvidia has said that he owns 50-60 of these jackets, which have become a part of his public image. Huang had shared that he dislikes shopping, so his wife and daughter curate his wardrobe and style

Jensen Huang has a tattoo inspired by Nvidia's logo on his shoulder. He got it to celebrate the company's success after its shares crossed $100.

Philanthropy

The Jen-Hsun and Lori Huang Foundation had assets worth $9.2 billion in 2024. Huang and his wife Lori donated more than $126 million through their charitable foundation in 2024. This was a 170% increase from the previous year. Out of the $126 million, around $82.5 million went to the GeForce Fund.

The couple had also donated $22.5 million to California College of the Arts in April 2025 and also planned to donate $5 million every year to the San Francisco Opera. They also donated $30.5 million to Oregon State University.

The revised target implies an upside potential of around 12% from the Nifty 50's closing level on Sunday. Citi has also raised its target valuation multiple to 18x from 17x and extended its target horizon to December 2027 from September 2027.

In its latest report, Citi mentioned four key reasons behind its bullish outlook on Indian markets.

1. Strong Q2 Earnings

Citi said the Q2 earnings build on the positive momentum generated in the Q1, despite elevated commodity prices. It expects India's earnings to grow at a CAGR of 15% to 16% over FY26 - FY28, which is in-line with the consensus forecasts.

2. Lower Crude Oil

Secondly, it believes lower oil price could help India's macro and earnings assumptions. A $10 fall in oil prices would help India's current account deficit (CAD) by 30 bps to 40 bps, and help cool down inflation by 50 bps. This is estimated to drive 2% upgrade for Nifty 50's Earnings Per Share (EPS).

3. Slower AI Capex

After the US mid-term election results, the risks of increased pace of data center moratoriums has aided rotation into other assets, which Citi believes could continue to benefit India. 

“If AI capex growth materially slows, it could have an impact on token availability/prices and therefore on pace of AI-diffusion,” Citi said. It believes Indian companies are relatively better placed as focus on AI monetization and outcomes will increase.

4. Improving FII Flows 

As per MSCI, there are ~$1.5 trillion assets benchmarked to MSCI EM. Assuming a near 20%, every 100 bps increase in active weight could result in inflows of $12 billion, Citi said. 

India's weightage in MSCI EM as well as India's ‘Underweight' in EM portfolios are both at close to multi year lows. In the past 3 weeks, domestic market has witnessed inflows of over $6 billion, while domestic flows also continue to remain resilient.

Key Risks For Indian Markets

According to Citi, Middle East situation remains volatile and any spike in oil prices would be a near-term risk. Additionally, consumption slowdown going forward given the anniversarisation of GST benefits as well as El Nino impact along with AI impact on jobs being worse than expectations would also be key risks.

Citi's Top Picks

Citi added Bajaj Finance to its top picks, citing 25%+ growth visibility with diversified product bouquet and healthy provisioning buffer, that supports earnings resilience and superior return ratios. 

It expects staples to see near-term benefits if lower oil prices sustain, however, it flagged high competitive intensity in the sector. 

Citi also expects some industrials stocks to see continued near term pressure from datacenter theme. It said its preferred plays have other drivers like power capex, manufacturing and infrastructure spending etc., and expects continued earnings momentum.

In his latest column on Mid-day, Gavaskar claimed that while victory should always be the priority, Kohli reaching the milestone would be a moment of glory not only for the player, but also for all Indian cricket fans.

"Indians have always been fond of records and so there's always a debate about the rights and wrongs of going for it. One thing for sure that 99% of those who say they don't play for records are actually incapable talent and temperament wise of setting any and so it's easy for them to say so," Gavaskar wrote.

"There is not a single Indian cricket fan who does not want Kohli to get to 100 international centuries. We are all cheering for him to get there and so, if there's an occasion where some other teammate sacrifices his runs to allow him the chance to get there, the glory will not be just Kohli's but for all Indian cricket fans too," he added.

In a rain-affected match, Kohli departed when India were at 124/3, with not much of the target left to chase down.

Gavaskar stated that Kohli getting out for 74 spared Gill or Shreyas the dilemma over the century, or any possible backlash from fans on social media.

"Kohli got out in the 70s. Gill and Iyer were thus spared any blowback if the winning runs had been hit with Kohli unbeaten in the 90s. Yes, it's a team game, but it's also good for the team if one of its members, especially a star player, gets to a personal milestone without affecting the team's chances of winning," Gavaskar pointed out.

Kohli, who is active in ODIs only, currently boasts 86 international centuries. With many expecting him to possibly call it quits after the 2027 World Cup, the 38-year-old doesn't have much time to get to the milestone of 100 international hundreds, something that only Sachin Tendulkar has done till date.

"[The plan] can still change, but as far as I know, obviously Gautam will have to be here – the one-day World Cup is coming [in 2027], so he will be staying here, and probably Sairaj will stay here," Kotak said in a pre-match press conference in Hamilton on Monday, as quoted by Cricinfo.

"Me, Morne and some other staff will go to Wellington. That's the plan, but like I said, Gautam will make the final decision. It can change, but this is how it will likely be. We'll just try and see that their loading, their fitness, their practice - we do as much preparation as the conditions permit," Kotak added.

Kotak further revealed that three fast bowlers from India's ODI squad - likely Gurnoor Brar, Auqib Nabi and Arshdeep Singh - will stay back in New Zealand to help the Test squad as net bowlers and reserve players. "I think three bowlers," Kotak said. "Gurnoor, maybe Nabi, and I think Arsh is also staying back."

Kotak said India's ODI batters would not bring Test-match adjustments into white-ball cricket, while noting that challenging pitch conditions in New Zealand would provide valuable preparation ahead of the Test series.

Responding to a question about Shubman Gill and KL Rahul transitioning from ODI cricket to Tests, Kotak said the mindset and intent would remain specific to each format. However, he pointed out that the swing, seam movement and uneven bounce encountered during the ODIs would help players prepare for similar challenges in the longer format.

"Nobody will bring Test-match adjustments into white-ball cricket. But at the same time, the pitches across both ODIs offered swing, and even after the swing subsided in four to six overs, there was seam movement, along with some awkward bounce," Kotak said.

He added that the challenging conditions, including pitches with 12-14 mm of grass and the prevailing weather, offered valuable learning opportunities, particularly as the matches were not producing the usual high-scoring ODI totals.

Kotak also highlighted the preparation of India's red-ball players through the three India A matches, saying these fixtures would help batters and bowlers understand the conditions, bowling lengths and behaviour of the ball.

He further said the Test squad would have a preparatory camp beginning November 11, providing five to six practice sessions ahead of the first Test on November 19.

"Overall, the preparation has been very solid. On top of that, the Test players will have a camp starting on the 11th, giving us five to six sessions. Fingers crossed, we should be well-prepared for the Test series as well," he added.

Behind them, Australia are in third despite their series defeat to South Africa. India are fourth, marginally ahead of Bangladesh.

Updated WTC 2027 Table

A lot of the teams in the top five are set to face off in the coming months, meaning that big changes could still happen. South Africa and Bangladesh will face off later this month, as will India and New Zealand, in two-Test series each.

Australia and India will also play each other in early 2027 in a five-Test series, which could have significant implications on the WTC standings.

Bangladesh vs West Indies, 2nd Test: As it happened

Towhid Hridoy hit 82 as Bangladesh salvaged a draw against West Indies in the second cricket test on Monday.

Hridoy who struck an epic 242 not out in the first innings, steered the side to 184-4 before the bad light forced stumps, while chasing 369 for an unlikely victory.

By doing so, Hridoy became first Bangladeshi batter to hit a double century and a half-century in the same test.

West Indies which won the series 1-0 following its eight-wicket victory in the first test, declared their second innings at 398-6 after resuming the Day 5 at 345-3.

That left Bangladesh two and a half sessions to chase down the target.

Overnight unbeaten batter Kavem Hodge added just two runs before being dismissed for 142, while Amir Jangoo, who scored 133 in the first innings, remained unbeaten on 39.

Bangladesh spinners shared all six wickets to fall with Taijul Islam, Nayeem Hasan and Mehidy Hasan claiming two wickets each.

Bangladesh, however, made a shaky start to their chase as opener Tanzid Hasan Tamim was dismissed for 21 after holing out, before Jomel Warrican trapped captain Najmul Hossain Shanto leg-before for 14.

With Bangladesh reeling at 40-2, West Indies sniffed a chance to push for a victory but Hridoy and Mushfiqur Rahim combined for a 135-run for the third wicket to ruin the visitors hopes.

The pair remained unscathed throughout the second session to make a West Indies victory unlikely.

Left-arm spinner Warrican dismissed Hridoy to break the partnership in the last session and ended the innings with 3-44 while Shamar Joseph sent back Mushfiqur for 49.

During his knock, Mushfiqur completed 7,000 test runs as the first Bangladeshi batter.

The bad light however brought an end to the game with Litton Das (7) and Mehidy Hasan (1) in the crease.

Earlier in the test, West Indies were bowled out for 356 in their first innings, with Bangladesh pacer Hasan Mahmud claiming an impressive 6-90.

Hridoy then produced a career-defining innings of 242 not out to lift Bangladesh to 386, securing a 30-run first-innings lead.

Speaking on the TalkSport Cricket Podcast, ten Doeschate reflected on how difficult it is to see a batter as talented and run-hungry as Jaiswal being left out of the ODI setup.

"He is so hungry to do well. You know, even when he gets runs but doesn't get a big one, the genuine disappointment in leaving runs out there, you can see it really hurts him. He is also, just touching on the ODI point, he is desperate to play ODI cricket as well. He doesn't get into the team, which is - it's crazy," said Doeschate.

"It's ridiculous. There are some players we were chatting about yesterday who aren't in the team. But also just to be clear, you know, I wasn't the batting coach, so I didn't have that direct access to players in terms of working that closely with them. It was so I'd chip in here and there and maybe complement what the batting coach and the head coach were saying. But yeah, certainly very, very hungry, works very, very hard. One of those strange situations where he's actually not a great netter," he added.

He also revisited India's Test tour of Australia in 2024, recalling how Jaiswal confidently took on the pace and bounce of Mitchell Starc, despite enduring a difficult day in the nets beforehand.

"I'll never forget, it happened in Australia, that whole build-up in Perth. And within the first three overs of the first Test match, Starc had bowled a 150k bouncer and he just pulled him in front of square. He just didn't look like he could play the short ball in the nets," he said.

Currently, Jaiswal is in New Zealand with the India A side for an unofficial Test series against the hosts. He is expected to join the senior squad thereafter for the two-match Test series against the Kiwis, which begins on November 19.

Jaiswal has established himself as an important part of India's Test team but is yet to secure a regular place in the limited-overs side.

The left-handed opener has played six ODIs so far, scoring 285 runs at an average of 71.25, including two centuries.

Despite his impressive numbers, Jaiswal has struggled to find a consistent place in India's ODI plans, with competition for opening and top-order positions remaining intense.

With the 2027 ODI World Cup approaching, securing a regular place in the first-choice side remains a challenge for the youngster.

Speaking on the talkSPORT Cricket Podcast, Ten Doeschate reflected on the difficult position Jaiswal finds himself in despite his ability and hunger for runs. The former Netherlands all-rounder acknowledged that it is not easy to see a player with Jaiswal's talent being left out of the ODI setup.

"He is so hungry to do well. You know, even when he gets runs but doesn't get a big one, the genuine disappointment in leaving runs out there, you can see it really hurts him. He is also, just touching on the ODI point, he is desperate to play ODI cricket as well. He doesn't get into the team, which is - it's crazy," Doeschate said.

Ryan Ten Doeschate Recalls Yashasvi Jaiswal's Australia Tour

Ten Doeschate also remembered Jaiswal's approach during India's 2024-25 Test series against Australia, especially his confidence against Australian quick Mitchell Starc.

The former India assistant coach recalled how Jaiswal handled Starc's pace and bounce on the tour even as the young man had a rough session in the nets on the previous day.

The incident was a glimpse of Jaiswal's confidence and ability to take on quality fast bowling, even in difficult conditions.

"I'll never forget, it happened in Australia, that whole build-up in Perth. And within the first three overs of the first Test match, Starc had bowled a 150k bouncer and he just pulled him in front of square. He just didn't look like he could play the short ball in the nets," he noted.

Yashasvi Jaiswal's Upcoming Assignment

Jaiswal is currently in New Zealand with the India A team for an unofficial Test series against New Zealand A. The left-hander has been using the series to prepare for the upcoming international assignment.

On October 29, The New York Times reported that Huang was the target of a Chinese spy plot which was coordinated by a businesswoman, Alice Huang alias Huang Le, who built a close relationship with him and was passing advanced Nvidia AI Chips and intelligence to Beijing. Alice Huang, a Chinese citizen and a top executive at Singapore-based data centre company Megaspeed was identified by US spy agencies as an intelligence asset for China.

In the email, Huang acknowledged that he owes an apology to his family and all his employees and extended cooperation in investigation. The email was sent as "A message to our company."

Here's the text of the email Huang sent to staffers, seen by Axios:

I owe my family and all of you an apology.

I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry.

Throughout my life, my family has given me love and support. They deserve my honesty and loyalty. Instead, I let them down and damaged the life we built together. I take full responsibility for what I did and the hurt I caused, and I accept the criticism that comes with it.

To my wife and family: I love you. I know an apology cannot undo what I have done. I hope our family will heal and that, over time, I can earn back your trust.

To my colleagues at NVIDIA, including those I have worked alongside for decades, and to our board, partners, and shareholders around the world: you deserve better from me.

Leading NVIDIA is the privilege of my life. My responsibility is to serve you and be worthy of your trust. I have fallen short of that responsibility. I am fully committed to NVIDIA and will work to earn back your confidence.

Regarding the national security concerns raised in news reports, NVIDIA's Board of Directors has initiated an independent investigation. I support the investigation and will cooperate fully. I love our country and our company, and I am committed to protecting NVIDIA and supporting America's national security. I am proud and grateful to be an American.

My family bears no responsibility for my choices. I do. Please give them privacy.

Nvidia Opens Independent Probe

In a statement issued on Sunday, Nvidia Board announced initiating an independent investigation "in light of recent reporting that founder and CEO Jensen Huang has been the target of a foreign intelligence effort". The Board noted that they have no reason to believe that either national security or company secrets were compromised, but the probe will examine all available information.

"The Board prioritizes U.S. national and economic security, which is paramount to the interests of NVIDIA and its shareholders," the statement read.

A committee of independent directors, assisted by outside independent counsel, will oversee the investigation.

The Board has expressed confidence in Jensen and his leadership team.

Asked about the report Sunday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he couldn't comment, saying it was an "internal corporate matter."

Nvidia Calls Dealings With Megaspeed "Normal"

Suspected Chinese spy Alice Huang is a top executive at Megaspeed, a company the Commerce Department began investigating late in the Biden administration over concerns that it was helping China bypass US restrictions to acquire Nvidia AI chips.

When the news first came out, Huang said Nvidia's relationship with Megaspeed's officials was proper.

"We've studied all their deployments of our GPUs and counted every one," he said. "And I think the US government also has as well."

Huang also said that his interactions with her were typical of those with Chinese customers and executives. She's no longer with Megaspeed, he said.

"Our relationship, our interactions, have been related to Megaspeed, and it was all completely normal and not unusual," Huang said.

He also said he hadn't been informed by the US government of its suspicions about Alice Huang.

When asked on Star Sports regarding the players CSK could potentially release, Chopra said, "If you just go by the money then Prashant Veer. Very expensive. Him, Matt Henry, Matt Short, Zak Foulkes, maybe Rahul Chahar as well."

Prashant, an all-rounder, was one of two players for whom CSK shelled out Rs 14.20 crore at the IPL 2026 auction, the other being wicketkeeper-batter Kartik Sharma. Kartik impressed in the latter stages of IPL 2026 with a couple of half-centuries and is likely to be retained.

However, Prashant Veer's future is up in the air after he received very few chances with both bat and ball.

The deadline for the retention and trade window is November 17, while the IPL 2027 mini-auction is set to be held on December 16.

CSK recently grabbed headlines by conducting a four-player trade with Sunrisers Hyderabad, acquiring all-rounders Liam Livingstone and Jack Edwards for pacers Khaleel Ahmed and Nathan Ellis.

The franchise has also revamped its coaching setup following Stephen Fleming's appointment as England men's Test head coach. Albie Morkel, Gareth Batty and Mohit Sharma have been appointed assistant coaches of the side ahead of IPL 2027. The trio will work under newly appointed head coach Zaheer Khan.

Several long-serving members of CSK's coaching and support staff have also parted ways with the franchise after spending more than a decade with the team. The departures include batting coach Mike Hussey, bowling coach Eric Simons, strength and conditioning coach Greg King, and physiotherapist Tommy Simsek.

Those retained from last season include assistant bowling coach Sridharan Sriram and fielding coach James Foster, who also serves in a coaching role with the England team. AR Srikanth, one of CSK's senior officials, will also continue with the franchise.

This is what the note read: 'Tomorrow's match 50 inshallah, Hamza Zahoor, I am the best.'

Having backed his abilities, Zahoor showcases his class in the run chase, ultimately scoring double of what he'd written in the chit. He completed his half-century in 54 balls, and then got to his century with a boundary, which also proved to be the winning shot.

India U19 vs Pakistan U19: As it happened

Hamza's superb knock helped him take the shine off Arjun Rajput's blistering 107, which took India to 208. Chasing 209, defending champions Pakistan got home with 11 balls to spare, with Zahoor sealing the contest in the 49th over through a drive past extra cover that took him to an unbeaten 100 off 108 balls.

India found themselves in early trouble after choosing to bat first, as Pakistan's pacers didn't give easy runs. Captain Lakshya Raichandani (0), Aaryavir Sehwag (22), VK Vineeth (8) and Yashbardhan Chauhan (1) fell in a heap to leave the side at 42/4 in 16.4 overs.

Rajput, hailing from Jalandhar in Punjab, then took charge of India's innings by smashing 11 fours and five sixes in his 85-ball knock. He added 44 runs with wicketkeeper Anvay Dravid (10) and then put on another 64 with Manal Chauhan (11), while scoring the lion's share of the runs on both occasions.

His dismissal in the 36th over, with India on 170/7 triggered another slide as Yashveer Goud (4) and Mohit Ulva (7) followed quickly to make the score to 195/9. Kavya Patel (23) and Ishan Sood (2 not out) then eked out a handy last-wicket stand of 13 runs to lift India to 208 all out in 46.3 overs.

In defence of the total, India's bowlers hit back hard in the chase. Sood and Ulva removed the openers, while Manal castled Abdul Qadir and trapped Ahmed Hussain lbw. Kavya accounted for skipper Farhan Yousaf as Pakistan slumped to 61/5 in 14.4 overs.

Zahoor then counter-attacked by hitting sixes off Kavya Patel, Ulva and Yashveer Goud, while Hasnain Abbas Dar held up the other end. The pair put on 107 for the sixth wicket to swing the game in Pakistan's favour.

Manal (3-32) revived India's hopes in the final over of his spell when Dar (38) pulled straight to Rajput at mid-wicket. Ulva then had Sayyam caught behind, leaving Pakistan needing 26 runs to win with three wickets in hand.

Zahoor, though, kept his cool by shielding number nine Niqab Shafiq from the strike and hit the boundary whenever an opening came. India were left to rue some loose moments - opener Usman Khan was dropped twice early on, while Sood conceded two wides in the 48th over.

Jonathan Coachman claims Road Dogg lost his WWE position for backing Chelsea Green's push backstage

While talking about Green's rise in WWE on an episode of The Coach and Bro Show, Coachman was very direct about James' departure.

“I mean, a guy got fired. He got fired over his support for Chelsea Green. Let's say what it is. Brian James got fired,” Coachman said.

He also wondered how James felt watching Green get to the top after supporting her earlier in her WWE run. Coachman added that her success could be frustrating for James, especially if he had believed in her potential long before WWE gave her a bigger opportunity.

James did back Green in public. Before her championship run, he congratulated her on social media and asked why WWE took so long to recognize her talent. 

But Coachman's statement is still just an allegation, and James' own explanation plus the reporting on his exit don't show that WWE dismissed him over Green.

Road Dogg previously discussed his WWE exit and pointed towards workload and family commitments

PWInsider reported that James resigned from WWE on March 5, 2026. He spoke about the decision later at a virtual signing in April, saying the company was moving too fast for him.

He also said he wanted more time with his family. On Busted Open Radio in June, he admitted his WWE responsibilities had become overwhelming.

“I wasn't having any fun,” James said while discussing his experience.

Besides that, he revealed he stayed longer than he wanted because he was worried about being unemployed.

Green, meanwhile, went on to win Women's Crown Jewel Championship by defeating Liv Morgan at Crown Jewel 2026. 

Then Tiffany Stratton cashed in her Money in the Bank contract and beat Green for the WWE Women's Championship. Green later expressed her disappointment, saying, “I didn't just lose my championship, but I lost a friend.

Notably, ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season, Ravindra Jadeja and England all-rounder Sam Curran moved from CSK to RR, while wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson joined CSK for Rs 18 crore. Jadeja's fee was revised to Rs 14 crore, down from Rs 18 crore, at which he was retained by CSK ahead of the previous season.

Jadeja wrote, “Happy diwali to everyone” in his Instagram post.

Former India cricketer Suresh Raina extended his greetings, writing, “Happy Diwali. May your home be filled with light, your heart with joy, and your year with new beginnings. Warm wishes, Suresh Raina.”

Irfan Pathan also extended Diwali wishes to fans, praying for happiness, good health, peace and prosperity for them and their families.

“Aap sabhi ko Diwali ki bahut bahut shubhkamnayein! May this festival of lights bring happiness, good health, peace and prosperity into your lives. Dua hai ki aap sabki zindagi khushiyon aur roshni se jagmagati rahe. Apno ke saath khushiyan baantein aur khoob pyaar dein. Happy Diwali to you and your families,” he wrote in a post on X.

Former Sri Lankan cricketer Kumar Sangakkara also extended Diwali greetings, saying, “Happy Deepavali every one,” in a post on X.

The festive messages from the cricket stars added to the Diwali celebrations, with players reaching out to their fans and well-wishers through social media on the occasion.

The Diwali celebrations began with Dhanteras on November 6, followed by Choti Diwali on November 7. The main festival of Diwali and Lakshmi Puja will be observed on November 8, followed by Govardhan Puja on November 10 and Bhai Dooj on November 11.

Speaking on the talkSPORT Cricket podcast, Ten Doeschate highlighted how modern "player power" has reshuffled dressing-room dynamics, explaining that many international coaches hesitate to step in when superstar cricketers struggle.

"I think a lot of coaches are afraid to make interventions because it can be seen that you are, you know, trying to justify your job, or you're interfering, or just saying things for the sake of saying it," Ten Doeschate said. "You've got to strike the balance of making an intervention that's going to help the player, or confusing them."

The former Netherlands all-rounder reflected on the courage required to broach the recurring mode of dismissal with Kohli during the high-stakes tour:

"I never want to be a coach who is scared of an opinion of someone else for stepping in, for saying the right thing. I actually was just telling a really great story about Virat and the troubles he had in Australia with driving the ball and nicking off. Eventually, in the fourth Test, I went to intervene and chat to him. And he was brilliant about it! And he actually wanted someone to chat to him.

"But my sense is, for a coach to go to a player like Virat Kohli and intervene and almost call them out on what's happening can be dangerous for you as a coach. And I think getting the wording right around that and how you deliver it is so important.

"The way the power shift has moved towards the players in the modern era does mean that a lot of coaches are scared to bring up topics or at least get talking about it."

Delving into the specifics of the conversation, Ten Doeschate emphasised that effective coaching is rarely about dictating terms, but about creating an open dialogue. He revealed that Kohli thoroughly explained the tactical rationale behind his shot selection:

"You don't have to agree. You might say, 'I want to drive on the up for these reasons,' and that's actually what happened with Virat. He really explained why he wanted to play in the way he played, and then you can tweak around that."

Ten Doeschate also pointed out the psychological risks that come with untimely technical critiques, especially when a batter has to face top-tier pace:

"There's always a risk that you sort of unsettle his frame of mind. You know, he might be in a really good place, and now you say, 'You know, I've noticed when you're pulling... you're just taking your eye off the ball.' Technically, you might want him to watch the ball a little bit longer, but now all of a sudden he's thinking about pulling, and he's got to go out and face Mitchell Starc. So that's not the time to do it.

"In that situation, it had been bubbling away, and it was more a case of me building up the courage and delivering it in the right way. I was lucky enough to have a decent relationship with Virat. He's obviously not someone who needs a lot of coaching, and that was one thing that really stuck out-the manner of the dismissal being so same-same.

"So I had thought about it a lot, and I thought how I could deliver it. You know, I'm not going to go to him and say, 'Mate, you've got cover drives all over the show.' But I then worked out a time-it was during a rain break-where I could deliver it in quite a non-confrontational way. And credit to him, the way he took it on ended up being a really great discussion. Unfortunately, it didn't deliver the results we wanted towards the back end of the series, but you know, I'd say if you can deliver it to someone like him, you can deliver it to anyone. Just finding the right way of dropping your message is really important."
