Former Australia skipper and Delhi Capitals (DC) head coach Ricky Ponting is hopeful of Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant making a "huge impact" in the T20 World Cup at the USA and the West Indies, scheduled to commence on June 1.
Pant made his comeback to competitive cricket after a gap of more than 14 months in the recently-concluded IPL. He not only captained DC in the season but also donned the wicketkeeping gloves despite doubts over his fitness after recovering from multiple injuries sustained in a horrific car crash.
After being named in India's squad for the T20 World Cup, Ponting said his inclusion was evident following his "remarkable comeback". The veteran feels Pant will make a significant impact in the T20 showpiece.
“I was asked when I was over there what I thought about him. He'd been picked in the Indian squad, and I basically said he'd be one of the first players picked, and sure enough he was. So, great to see him back out there playing again. I've enjoyed every moment of working with him. Obviously, he's been the captain of the Delhi Capitals, and I've been the coach there," Ponting told The ICC Review.
“But it's been a remarkable comeback, and hopefully he has a huge impact on this World Cup," he added.

In a promising development for millions with diabetes, researchers in China have reported a potential cure using cell therapy. The study, published in the journal Cell Discovery, details the successful treatment of a 59-year-old man with type 2 diabetes.
The patient, who had been battling the disease for 25 years and relied on daily insulin injections, underwent an innovative cell transplant in July 2021. The procedure involved creating lab-grown replicas of insulin-producing islet cells, found in the pancreas, which were then transplanted into the patient.
According to a report in the South China Morning Post, the treatment proved remarkably successful. Within eleven weeks, the patient no longer required external insulin. Over the following year, he gradually reduced and eventually stopped taking oral medication for blood sugar control. Follow-up examinations confirmed a restored function in the patient's pancreatic islet cells, allowing him to remain medication-free for over 33 months.
While this is a single-patient case study, experts view it as a significant breakthrough in cell therapy for diabetes. Professor Timothy Kieffer, a researcher at the University of British Columbia, called it "an important advance in the field." However, further large-scale trials are needed to confirm the efficacy and safety of this approach before it can be widely used as a treatment.
This news brings hope to millions of people with diabetes. More research is needed, but this successful cell therapy trial could lead to a future without the disease.
Diabetes around the world
The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) paints a concerning picture: By 2021, an estimated 537 million adults aged 20-79 already had diabetes. This number is projected to explode, reaching 643 million by 2030 and a staggering 783 million by 2045. This translates to 1 in 8 adults globally projected to have diabetes by 2045, a 46% increase.
Even more alarming is the unequal distribution of this burden. A staggering 3 out of 4 adults with diabetes live in low- and middle-income countries. These statistics highlight the growing global challenge of diabetes and the urgent need for effective prevention and management strategies, particularly focused on supporting developing nations.

In recent months, social media has been flooded with videos showing a troubling trend: ticketless passengers occupying reserved coaches on Indian trains. This widespread issue is causing significant inconvenience and frustration for passengers who have paid for reservations.
One such video, shared by a passenger named Vijay Kumar on social media platform 'X', recently went viral. The video depicts a chaotic scene on the Brahmaputra Express at Patna Junction. The 3AC coach, meant for a limited number of passengers with reservations, resembled a crowded marketplace due to the overwhelming number of unauthorised passengers.
Mr Kumar recounted the ordeal, stating that he and his family had difficulty boarding the train and securing their reserved seats. He expressed frustration, saying, "The AC-3 coach has been taken over by general passengers. No one cares for any rule." The video showed overflowing aisles, highlighting the lack of space for ticketed passengers.
Watch the video here:
I had booked 8 seats for me & my family but only have access to 6 as general passengers have taken over the train. People with general tickets are also in AC-3 & people without tickets are also in AC-3.

While talking with some people, I got to know that there are exams going --
Mr Kumar further revealed that he had booked 8 seats for his family, but only 6 were accessible due to the presence of unauthorised passengers. He expressed his disappointment, stating that not only did general ticket holders occupy reserved coaches, but there were even passengers without tickets.
These viral videos raise serious concerns about the effectiveness of current measures to prevent ticketless travel. The large number of unauthorised passengers in reserved compartments creates an unpleasant and uncomfortable travel experience for passengers who have paid for reservations.
