MLC 2025: Faf du Plessis creates history with this record for Texas Super Kings
Faf du Plessis captain of Texas Super Kings (Photo by Arjun Singh / Sportzpics for MLC) Faf du Plessis etched his name in Major League Cricket history by becoming the first player to smash three centuries in the league's history. Leading from the front for Texas Super Kings, the South African veteran produced another masterclass, guiding his side to a commanding total against MI New York in Match 21 of MLC 2025. Batting first, Texas Super Kings put up an imposing 223 for 4 in their 20 overs. Faf opened the innings alongside Smit Patel, and despite losing Patel early for a three-ball duck, the captain looked unfazed. He stitched crucial partnerships, first with Saiteja Mukkamalla (25 off 18) and then with Marcus Stoinis (25 off 22), to anchor the innings. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel.

June 30, 1985, Forty Years Ago: Army deployed after violence in Baroda
Army in Baroda Three persons were killed and 55 injured, seven of them seriously, as violence erupted suddenly in Baroda. The Army has been deployed to assist the police in patrolling trouble-torn areas under the city. They have intensified their vigil. No arrests have been made so far. It started when youths throwing water-filled balloons in the course of Devshayani Ekadashi festivities turned violent, according to reports. Naga Rebel Attack Two road bridges were blown up by suspected Naga hostiles, cutting off Ukhrul from the rest of Manipur. Police said the explosions were suspected to have been engineered by the underground Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland and took place simultaneously. The hostiles used locally made explosives. Serakhong lital steel bridge (200 feet) and Thong Analbi Bridge (100 feet), damaged in the explosions, are situated within 5 km of each other. Akalis' Release With the Akalis reacting cautiously to Punjab Governor Arjun Singh's announcement that those not accused of serious crimes would be set free, the state government made another significant gesture clarifying that 'sedition' would be no bar against the release of persons arrested on this charge. Raj Bhavan sources said the governor's speech at Amritsar was apparently misunderstood. What he said was that all except those charged with 'waging of war against the state', murder, arson and dacoity would be released. Air India Crash Some indications that there may have been an explosion on board the Air India Jumbo before it crashed into the Atlantic have emerged during the investigation but it is yet to be determined if it could have been caused by a bomb, informed sources said. Senior officials from India who are investigating the crash are yet to reach a definite conclusion about the cause, although they said they have had 'useful' clues so far.
