Akash Deep wins Joe Root controversial dismissal debate; fans hail India pacer for ‘DOTY' at IND vs ENG Edgbaston Test
Akash Deep has been the talk of the town ever since he dismissed England's Joe Root with a peach of a delivery on Saturday in the ongoing second Test at Edgbaston in Birmingham. Bowling wide of the crease, Akash Deep pitched the attacking full length delivery that nipped in, beating the outside edge of Root's bat and leading the former England captain's stumps disturbed. Root was dismissed for just six runs. While Akash Deep was hailed by most in the cricket fraternity, Australian cricket commentator Alison Mitchell spiced up the delivery as 'illegal', creating an unnecessary controversy in the process. "The delivery from Akash Deep - which we said was wide off the crease - his foot on the back crease is out. Looks like by about two inches. 'Maybe a little bit more. But comfortably. So his back foot, which needs to land within the line, just taps about two inches over the line. Not picked up!' Mitchell said while commentating for BBC TMS. However, Mitchell's logic was simply quashed with an explanation from former India cricketer Irfan Pathan, who detailed why Akash Deep's delivery that dismissed Root was completely legal. With a frame-by-frame explanation, Pathan explained that since Akash Deep's point of contact was inside the return crease, hence it was deemed legal by the umpires. Had Akash Deep's back-foot landed on the line or outside the return crease, it would have been a definite no-ball. While the Bengal pacer is fighting for his country in the United Kingdom, fans hailed Akash Deep, calling it a Delivery of the Year (DOTY).

This is the 'dress of the year,' according to a shopping expert
I've been a huge fan of Caroline Moss ever since I read a profile that featured her in The New York Times two years ago. She began her career as an editor and producer, later branching off to do her own thing, which included starting the popular Gee Thanks, Just Bought It community. Dedicated to all things shopping, it includes multiple Facebook groups, a newsletter, a podcast and a Substack. Moss often doles out buying advice and product recommendations that her legions of fans look forward to, but one of my favorites is her annual declaration of the "dress of the year." She crowns one winner annually, and 2025's pick was just announced. It's the Old Navy Waist-Defined Ruffled Midi Dress. The criteria are pretty straightforward to be a contender for Moss's DOTY. It's gotta be flattering and affordable. Seems simple, but many, many dresses fall short. But not this under-$40 Old Navy find that ticks both boxes. "It's the kind of dress that slots perfectly into real life — whether you're running late to a meeting, grabbing coffee with a friend, or realizing you forgot to buy a gift on the way to a birthday dinner," Moss writes in her newsletter. "It's comfortable, flattering, and doesn't require shapewear, strategic layering, or a complicated bra situation." Old Navy shoppers overwhelmingly agree with her expert assessment of the standout style. The dress is a relatively new addition to the Old Navy lineup, but it's already garnered more than 450 five-star reviews. "Wore this dress for Easter and felt so good in it! Love the shape, material and basically everything about it. SO flattering! Want to buy all the colors/prints!" one fan commented. Another fan raved about its universal and comfy design: "[I have a] heavy bust and [this] fits so nicely. It cinches at the waist and the elastic is not tight at all." Loving the idea of a flattering dress that works for every occasion this spring and summer? Go all in and shop similar styles with that same waist-cinching, smocking magic — all under $100 — below. The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.
