By contrast, Microsoft reintroduced the colour black as a finish and upgraded the Surface Pro 6 with Intel’s 8th-generation Core processors. Amazingly, it’s now Microsoft which uses a proprietary charging connector, not Apple. But although we could talk all day about specifications, design and features, the biggest difference between an iPad Pro and a Surface Pro is software, not hardware. The iPad runs iOS 12, a mobile operating system, but the Surface Pro runs Windows 10, a desktop OS....

Milne, who was bought by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 2015 auction for Rs 70 lakh, had been carrying a heel injury since New Zealand’s World Cup quarter-final win against the West Indies. The 31-year-old Aravind played a very crucial role in Karnataka’s title defence of the Ranji Trophy earlier this year by picking up 42 wickets. He had also represented RCB in 2011 and 2012 and was the highest wicket-taker for RCB in the 2011 season with 21 wickets from 13 games....

Amassing an imposing total of 227/4, Royal Challengers restricted the Sunrisers to 182/6. Except for skipper David Warner’s spirited 58 off 25 balls with four fours and five sixes and Ashish Reddy’s 32, all other Sunrisers faltered before the RCB attack, with Shane Watson (2/30) and Yuzvendra Chahal (2/43) most successful bowlers for the hosts. The Sunrisers’ failure to maintain the run rate led to a situation that they needed 64 runs in the last 12 balls and 55 runs in the last over....

There are many power-hitters on show in this year’s edition of the IPL as well and it is extremely tough to pick the best of the lot. All eight teams have their own set of hitters as it is an absolute essential in this format of the game.

For example, implanted drug pumps, also known as pain pumps or morphine pump, may use this route. Distributing pain medication into the intrathecal space instead of taking a pill bypasses the need for the body to digest and absorb the medication in the gastrointestinal tract.

Last season, meanwhile, the Vercelli native netted 24 in 25 games — and this, in spite of the fact, that he only turned 16 on Feb. 24, meaning that for a significant chunk of the campaign he was regularly facing boys two years older than him. But as Kean says, “For me, it’s normal playing with older players. I don’t find it difficult.” He’s proving as much again this season, having hit five goals in five games for Juve’s Primavera....
