Jim Bridenstine’s pick as NASA chief raises questions The US Senate on Thursday, April 19, narrowly voted President Donald Trump-nominated Republican Representative Jim Bridenstine as the new chief of US space agency, NASA or National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Bridenstine won the voting procedure 50-49. The 42-year-old is a pilot in the US Navy Reserve and former executive director of the Tulsa Air and Space Museum and Planetarium. He was elected to the US Congress to represent Oklahoma's First Congressional District in 2012. Currently, Bridenstine is on the House Armed Services Committee as well as the Science, Space and Technology Committee. Though Nasa's acting administrator Robert Lightfoot welcomed Bridenstine on board, the latter's choice also sparked controversies. According to a Vox report, Nasa administrators are generally picked from within the space agency's ranks or are those who have a military or science background. Bridenstine brings none of those qualifications. "Even members of Bridenstine's own party have voiced concerns over what putting a politician in charge could mean for the future of the agency," the Voice report said. The Republican Congress member will fill up the post after it fell vacant in January 2017 when Charles Bolden, Nasa's leader under former president Barack Obama stepped down. Bridenstine said he was humbled by being given the opportunity to lead Nasa and would work hard towards fulfilling the president's dream of seeing America leading in space. US Vice President Mike Pence also welcomed Bridenstine's elevation. For Instant Updates Fallow Us @biengraaga And For More Keep Visiting http://www.biengraa.ga

IPL 2018: Dhoni's valiant 79* goes in vain as Kings XI Punjab clinch thrilling 4-run victory A last-ball six off MS Dhoni's bat usually means one thing - a victory for his team. Despite argumentations that his finishing powers have been on the wane, Dhoni's approach has not wavered a bit. Be it calculated assaults, pacing the innings or running hard between wickets, Dhoni is a control freak when it comes to seeing a side over the finish line. Something similar was on display in the match against Kings XI Punjab but the end result wasn't one that materialised in Chennai Super Kings' victory. Dhoni's predisposition towards taking the game as close as possible before leading his team through to ultimate glory is something that has earned him the reputation as being one of the best finishers of the game. While he has struggled a bit in the recent past when it comes to completion of the job, Dhoni's value to the team has seldom been in question, notwithstanding debates that he's now 36 and is no longer the batsman that he was during his prime. There have been a few instances when he has not been able to take his team over the finish line, including the 28-ball 25 against Kolkata Knight Riders in last week's IPL match that supports the argument. But the benchmark that he has set when it comes to the accomplishment of desired results in the limited-overs format speaks volumes of his calm demeanour that's a gift many cricketers would travel the universe to possess. That gift nearly saw CSK through in Mohali, only for a hampered back to sabotage a job that was almost perfectly done. A Chris Gayle assault helped KXIP set CSK a daunting target of 198, which became even more tougher after the hosts managed to pick up early wickets and reduce Super Kings to 56 for 3 in the seventh over. Ambati Rayudu played his part in keeping the team afloat, with Dhoni providing solid support from the other end. But the pressure was always on CSK who were playing catch up, and needing 85 off six overs soon after Rayudu's departure meant the game was firmly in favour of KXIP. #biengraaga For Instant Updates Fallow Us @biengraaga And Keep Visiting http://www.biengraa.ga

IPL 2018: Milne replaces injured Cummins at Mumbai Indians. Mumbai Indians have brought in New Zealand fast bowler Adam Milne as a replacement for the injured Pat Cummins, who was ruled out of the season and did not arrive in India. Milne will join Jasprit Bumrah, Mustafizur Rahman and former New Zealand team-mate Mitchell McClenaghan in Mumbai's pace attack. Though neither the IPL nor the franchise had announced Milne having joined the team, he has already linked up with the Mumbai squad and trained ahead of the side's third game, against Delhi Daredevils, at Wankhede Stadium on Saturday. Milne had played five IPL matches across two previous seasons - 2016 and 2017 - for Royal Challengers Bangalore. At Mumbai, Milne will also be working under bowling coach Shane Bond, his idol while growing up and with whom he had worked with when Bond was New Zealand's bowling coach. Milne has played 70 T20s so far and taken 83 wickets with economy rate of 7.77; he's also had good form for Central Districts on the domestic circuit in New Zealand. He is Mumbai's second replacement fast bowler after McClenaghan was drafted in for Australia's Jason Behrendorff, who was also ruled out with an injury. #biengraaga For Instant Updates Fallow Us @biengraaga And For More Keep Visiting http://www.biengraa.ga

IPL 2018: Rajasthan beat Bangalore by 19 runs HIGHLIGHTS Rajasthan scored 217/4 courtesy Sanju Samson's unbeaten 92 off 45 balls In reply, RCB could only post 198 for six as skipper Virat Kohli's 57 went in vain Mandeep Singh also scored 47 off 25 balls but the target proved to be too much in the end BENGALURU: Sanju Samson's breathtaking strokeplay formed the cornerstone of Rajasthan Royals' 19-run win over Royal Challengers Bangalore in a high-scoring IPL encounter on Sunday. Scorecard | Blog Riding on Samson's 45-ball-92, Rajasthan Royals posted a competitive 217 for 4 on a batting belter and then managed to restrict the home team to 198 for 6, earning their second victory in three games. RCB, on the other hand, slumped to their second defeat in three games despite skipper Virat Kohli (57 off 30 balls)'s first half-century of this edition. It was 'local boy ' Shreyas Gopal who removed a rampaging Kohli in the 11th over to turn the match decisively in his team's favour. Kohli's pull shot was taken at deep mid-wicket by D'Arcy Short, who timed his jump to perfection. Leg-spinner Gopal, who plays Ranji Trophy for Karnataka, then silenced his 'home crowd' knocking out AB de Villiers, whose poorly executed pull-shot was snapped by Jaydev Unadkat at deep square leg. Washington Sundar (35 off 19 balls) and Mandeep Singh (47 no off 25 balls) added 66 runs for the fifth wicket but they were left with an uphill task as the asking rate kept on mounting. Put into bat, Samson sent the bowlers on a leatherhunt hitting as many as 10 sixes and two fours. Samson scored his half-century off 34 balls, showing one and all why he is so highly rated by India A coach Rahul Dravid. In Jos Buttler (23 off 14), Samson found an able partner as they put on 73 runs in just 37 balls. Umesh Yadav after his 'man of the match' effort against KXIP was completely off colour going for 59 runs in 4 wicketless overs. The last three overs yielded 60 runs for the Royals. #biengraaga For Instant Updates Fallow Us @biengraaga For More Keep Visiting http://www.biengraa.ga
