Plus, it’s just a sweet story—who doesn’t love a happy update?

positiveTop Stories

Editor’s Note: Beckham’s injury might seem like small potatoes, but it’s a relatable human moment wrapped in his usual star power.

IND vs ENG: Five sixes! Vaibhav Suryavanshi's whirlwind knock lights up U19 ODI
positiveTop Stories
A 14-year-old cricket phenom named Vaibhav Suryavanshi just announced his arrival on the international stage with a jaw-dropping performance. In his debut Youth ODI against England U19, he smashed 48 runs off just 19 balls—including five massive sixes—turbocharging India’s chase of a modest 175. Earlier, England had been rolled for 174, thanks to a strong bowling effort led by Kanishk Chouhan (3/20), while Rocky Flintoff (son of England legend Andrew Flintoff) managed a gritty 56. But the day belonged to Suryavanshi, whose fearless hitting stole the show.
Editor’s Note: Teen prodigies in cricket always grab headlines, but Suryavanshi’s blistering knock feels special—it’s not every day a 14-year-old dominates an international youth match like this. With India’s cricket pipeline constantly churning out talent, his performance hints at another potential superstar in the making. For England, it’s a reminder of their struggles in developing young batters, despite Flintoff Jr.’s solid effort. Either way, this match just gave us a glimpse of cricket’s next generation—and it’s thrilling.
US Supreme Court curbs power of individual judges to block Trump
neutralTop Stories
The US Supreme Court just made it harder for individual federal judges to block presidential policies nationwide. In a 6-3 ruling, the conservative-majority court sided with President Trump, who’s repeatedly clashed with lower courts over his immigration agenda. The case specifically dealt with his attempt to end birthright citizenship—though the court dodged the constitutional question, focusing instead on limiting judges' power to issue sweeping injunctions.
Editor’s Note: This ruling isn’t just about Trump—it reshapes how future presidents, liberal or conservative, can be checked by the courts. By reining in nationwide injunctions, the Supreme Court is shifting the balance of power away from individual judges and toward broader appellate review. Critics worry it weakens a key tool for challenging controversial policies quickly, while supporters argue it stops "rogue" judges from overreaching. Either way, the decision could have long-lasting ripple effects.
Op Sindoor displayed naval might, forced adversary to seek ceasefire: Navy chief
positiveTop Stories
The Navy chief highlighted how "Op Sindoor" showcased India's naval strength, effectively pressuring an adversary to agree to a ceasefire. While specifics about the operation weren't detailed, the message was clear: India’s maritime capabilities played a decisive role in de-escalating tensions.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about flexing military muscle—it’s a signal of how strategic naval power can shape outcomes without full-blown conflict. For India, it reinforces the Navy’s growing role in regional security, while for neighbors and rivals, it’s a reminder of the costs of escalation. In a tense geopolitical climate, that kind of deterrence matters.
Historic! Praggnanandhaa clinches UzChess Cup Masters title, becomes India no.1
positiveTop Stories
Indian chess prodigy Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa just made history by winning the UzChess Cup Masters, defeating Nodirbek Abdusattorov in a thrilling showdown. Not only did this victory crown him India’s new No. 1 player, but it also rocketed his live rating to 2778.3—putting him at World No. 4 and even ahead of reigning World Chess Champion D Gukesh. At just 18, Praggnanandhaa’s win isn’t just a personal milestone; it signals a seismic shift in Indian chess, with a fresh generation taking the spotlight.
Editor’s Note: Chess fans, take note—this isn’t just another tournament win. Praggnanandhaa’s rise is rewriting India’s chess legacy, proving the country’s young talents are now global heavyweights. For a sport often dominated by veterans, his success hints at an exciting, youth-driven future for the game. And for India? It’s a proud moment, with yet another superstar emerging in a golden era of chess.
'Mask has come off': Rahul flays RSS over call to drop 'secular' from Constitution
negativeTop Stories
Rahul Gandhi is doubling down on his attacks on the RSS after its leader, Dattatreya Hosabale, suggested removing the words "socialist" and "secular" from the Constitution's Preamble. Gandhi claims the RSS is hostile to the foundational principles of equality and secularism, accusing them of pushing to replace the Constitution with the ancient Manusmriti—a move he says would strip rights from marginalized communities.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just political mudslinging—it’s a high-stakes debate over India’s constitutional identity. Gandhi’s framing paints the RSS as undermining core democratic values, which could deepen existing ideological divides. For voters, it sharpens the question: Should the Constitution reflect its original secular ethos, or is it due for a rewrite? Either way, expect this clash to fuel heated rhetoric ahead of elections.
'Charade at Pak’s behest': India calls arbitration court under Indus treaty 'illegal'
negativeTop Stories
India has slammed the door on a Court of Arbitration set up under the Indus Waters Treaty, calling it "illegal" and refusing to play ball. The government argues that Pakistan pushed for this court against the treaty’s rules, making its rulings on the Kishenganga and Ratle hydropower projects meaningless. To add tension, India says it’s putting the entire treaty on hold until Pakistan stops backing cross-border terrorism.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about water—it’s a high-stakes standoff. The Indus Waters Treaty has been one of the few stable agreements between these nuclear-armed neighbors, but India’s move signals it’s done with business as usual while terrorism simmers. If tensions escalate, water-sharing could become another flashpoint in an already volatile relationship.
'That’s why I married your dad': Cooper Flagg’s mom Kelly cracks marriage joke
positiveTop Stories
When Cooper Flagg was picked first in the NBA draft by the Dallas Mavericks, his mom, Kelly Flagg, couldn’t resist a playful jab at her husband. In a viral video, she joked that she married his tall dad for the basketball genes—a lighthearted nod to Cooper’s athletic roots. Kelly, a former college player herself, also shared how she and her husband always encouraged their son to stay genuine and love the game for what it is.
Editor’s Note: Beyond the usual draft-night hype, this moment humanizes the Flagg family with humor and warmth. It’s a refreshing reminder that even elite athletes come from families who keep things real—and that a little self-deprecating humor goes a long way when you’re in the spotlight.
