If you're not familiar with who Hindustani Bhau is, we've got you covered. Here's everything you need to know about the YouTuber. Who is Hindustani Bhau?

Jaiswal Needs 97 Runs In 2nd ENG Test To Break Gavaskar's 49-Year-Old Record
Last Updated: In 20 Tests played so far for Team India since making his debut against the West Indies in July 2023, Jaiswal has scored 1903 runs in 38 innings. Yashasvi Jaiswal will play as an opening batter for India in the second Test against England, which is set to take place at Edgbaston in Birmingham from July 2 to 6. The left-handed batter from Mumbai scored 101 runs from 159 balls for the Shubman Gill-led side in the first innings of the series opener played at Headingley in Leeds from June 20 to 24, and he would like to maintain his form in the second match as well. During the second Test, Jaiswal, who has 1903 runs to his name in 20 Tests played so far, will have a chance to create history. If the youngster manages to score at least 97 runs, then he will break Sunil Gavaskar's 49-year-old record and become the fastest Indian batter to score 2000 runs in Test cricket. Gavaskar, who was the first batter to score 10,000 runs in Test cricket, crossed the 2,000-run mark in the five-day format of the game in his 23rd Test, which was played against the West Indies in Port of Spain from April 7 to 12 in 1976. Gautam Gambhir is second on the list with 24 Tests whereas Rahul Dravid and Virender Sehwag completed 2000 runs in their 25th Test for India. The overall record of being the fastest batter in the world to score 2000 runs in Test cricket is in the name of legendary Don Bradman. Bradman crossed the 2000-run mark in his 15th Test for the Australian team. Fastest to 2000 runs in Tests (by innings) In terms of innings, the record of being the fastest batter(s) to score 2000 runs in Tests for India is held by Sehwag and Dravid, who needed 40 innings. Fastest Indian batters to score 2000 runs in Tests (in terms of innings) Jaiswal has batted 38 times so far, and if he scores 97 runs in the first innings of the Edgbaston Test, then he will break Sehwag and Dravid's record. Jaiswal, who is India's highest-ranked Test batter, has played a total of six Tests against England so far and has 817 runs to his name. If Jaiswal scores at least 97 runs in the first innings, then he will also break Rohit Sharma's record and become the fastest Indian batter to score 2000 runs in the World Test Championship (WTC). Rohit, who led India to the final of the 2023 WTC, completed 2000 runs in the WTC in 40 innings. The overall record of being the fastest batter to score 2000 runs in the WTC is in the name of Marnus Labuschagne. Fastest to 2000 runs in WTC (by innings) The right-handed batter from Australia completed his 2000th run in WTC in his 31st inning. Get latest Cricket news, live score and match results on News18.

Which Country Has Most Tanks In 2025? India In Top 5
Last Updated: China's rise to the top in 2025 with 6,800 tanks, overtaking the US and Russia, is due to rapid military modernisation, domestic production, and AI integration in warfare Amid growing global security concerns, many countries have significantly increased their defence spending, focusing on strengthening their military capabilities. According to the Global Firepower 2025 report, several nations have expanded their tank fleets. India ranks fifth in the world, while its hostile neighbour Pakistan has dropped to seventh place. According to the Global Firepower Rankings 2025, the top 10 countries based on tank fleet strength are: Rank Country Number of Tanks 1 China 6,800 2 Russia 5,750 3 United States 4,640 4 North Korea 4,344 5 India 4,201 6 Egypt 3,620 7 Pakistan 2,627 8 Türkiye 2,238 9 South Korea 2,236 10 Iran 1,713 India's Well-Balanced And Strategically Deployed Tank Force India's tank force, consisting primarily of T-90, T-72, and Arjun tanks, is geared towards maintaining a balance on both its western border with Pakistan and northern border with China. With 4,201 tanks, India not only surpasses Pakistan but also stands as one of the world's largest tank forces. Despite lagging behind, Pakistan, with 2,627 tanks, remains a significant threat. Pakistan's rapidly modernising tank units and military support from China, including the incorporation of new technology like VT-4 tanks, continue to enhance its capabilities. Why Are Tanks Still Important Tanks remain vital in conventional warfare, despite the prominence of drones, missiles, and cyber warfare in recent years. Tanks provide heavy firepower, can operate in difficult terrain, and offer strong support to infantry. The ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict underscores their continued importance. China's Massive Leap In Armoured Power China's remarkable rise to the number one position with 6,800 tanks in 2025, surpassing traditional giants like the US and Russia, can be attributed to rapid military modernisation, domestic tank production, and the integration of AI technology.

NATO Chief Calls Trump ‘Daddy' While Praising Iran Strikes: 'When Two Kids Fight...'
Last Updated: Mark Rutte defended the Iran strikes, asking, 'Doesn't he deserve some grace?' while pointing to Donald Trump's decision to bomb nuclear sites. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte praised Donald Trump's military strikes on Iran, describing the American president as a firm parental figure stepping in during a crisis. After Donald Trump compared Iran and Israel to 'two kids in a school yard," Mark Rutte extended the metaphor, saying, 'Then daddy has to sometimes use strong language." Mark Rutte's remark came during a press conference following Donald Trump's meeting with NATO leaders. Asked whether his approach toward Donald Trump appeared 'weak" or even 'demeaning", Mark Rutte dismissed the criticism, saying, 'No, I don't think so. I think it's a bit of a question of taste. But he is a good friend." 'Doesn't he deserve some grace?" Mark Rutte asked, pointing to the decision to bomb Iranian nuclear sites, adding, 'I think he deserves all the praise." A new level of cringe: Rutte calls Trump 'Daddy". — PaulC (@PaulConRO) June 25, 2025 The Dutch leader also credited Donald Trump for pushing NATO members toward higher defense spending. 'Would you ever think this would be the result of this summit if he would not have been re-elected president?" he asked rhetorically. Donald Trump, who had earlier called the strike a 'spectacular military success," also posted a private text message from Mark Rutte on his Truth Social platform in which the NATO boss wrote, 'That was truly extraordinary. Something no one else dared to do." Donald Trump also drew comparisons between the US airstrikes on Iran and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, describing both as actions that brought wars to an end. 'I don't want to use an example of Hiroshima. I don't want to use an example of Nagasaki, but that was essentially the same thing that ended that war," Donald Trump said at the NATO summit in The Hague.
