Apparently, the ad’s reach is bound to reach beyond Mahesh fans and with the family bonding is well-established in the promo, the brand is going to reap benefits,” says a celebrity manager. Usually, ‘Srimanthudu’ star charges anywhere between Rs 3 to 4 crore for retail brands but this time he has upped the ante and fattened his bank balance, adds the manager.

Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal may miss some parts of the forthcoming tour of India due to personal reasons. a news agency understands that Tamim has intimated the Bangladesh Cricket Board about his partial unavailability as he wishes to be beside his wife who is expecting a second child.

It was learned that Tamim could also join the team from the start of the series if the tests are positive. Alternatively, he will join the team after spending time with his wife in Bangkok.

Bangladesh team management is keeping Imrul Kayes as his back-up and requested him not to join the next edition National Cricket League that is expected to start from Saturday. “We haven’t decided anything as yet in this regard [about giving permission to Tamim],” BCB cricket operation chairman Akram Khan told a news agency on Thursday (October 24). “Give us some time we still have few more days to think,” he said.

Tamim, the seasoned opener, took rest during the upcoming one-off Test against Afghanistan and the T20I tri-nation rubber citing fatigue following a rough run of form during the World Cup. He prepared for the season by playing in the opening phase of the National Cricket League.

ever since rumors about the Payload Mode in PUBG MOBILE broke out, fans have been looking forward to try their hands out in this new mode that offers air-to-air combat for players. The version 0.15.0 update, which came out last week, was supposed to bring the new Payload Mode and after a brief waiting period, it’s finally here. The Payload Mode in PUBG MOBILE is now active and you can try your hands on it under the Arcade tab.

The Payload Mode offers helicopters and rocket launchers in the game to take the fight to the skies. Players can use helicopters to fly around and attack, like in Grand Theft Auto games, while opponents on the ground will be able to shoot them down using rocket launchers and grenade launchers. The new mode also brings in some co-op features for squads.

Upon further exploration, players will also be able to find and use helicopters as in-game weapons. And with a squad, this can prove to be a deadly weapon combo for opponents.

And to spice up the gameplay, the map will have a couple of spots with Super Weapon Box that will offer rare weapons to players. These box locations will be marked on the map with special beacons.

An update for the Pixel 4 which keeps 90 Hz refresh rate on more often

0

While the Pixel 4 has been announced about a week back, several problems have been plaguing the device already. There is the problem of face unlock working with your eyes closed or the Pixel 4’s battery being excessively small and more recently the phone’s aggressive lowering the refresh rate from 90 Hz to 60 Hz without giving any particular reason why it is doing so. Now Google has said that it will be announcing a fix for this refresh rate problem via a new update.

A few Redditors have discovered that the refresh rate of the screen will drop to 60 Hz if your screen brightness is less than 75 percent. As per a report by The Verge, the screen will refresh at 90 Hz at lower brightness levels if the ambient lighting in the room is bright enough.

Google said in a statement to The Verge that “In some conditions or situations, we set the refresh rate to 60Hz. few circumstances include: when the user uses the battery saver, specific video content(as it’s largely shot at 24 or 30fps), and even different brightness conditions. We regularly evaluate whether these parameters guide to the best overall user experience. We have earlier planned updates that we’ll roll out in the coming weeks that include enabling 90 Hz in more brightness conditions.”

Unlike a few smartphones which support high refresh rate displays, such as the OnePlus 7T (Review) and 7T Pro, there is no option accessible in the Pixel 4 for locking the screen at 90 Hz in all conditions. It would appear that Google might bring out this option in this upcoming update or at the very least improve its algorithms to keep the 90 Hz refresh rate accessible in more conditions.

India Squad For Bangladesh Series To Be Announced On October 24

0

Virat Kohli’s workload could be a point of debate while Rishabh Pant could have productive Sanju Samson for cover during three T20Is when the selection panel selects the team for the upcoming series facing Bangladesh in Mumbai on Thursday. the selection panel will leave on Kohli to choose whether he requires a rest or continue playing. There is supposed to be serious conversations about Mumbai all-rounder Shivam Dubey, who might replace an injured Hardik Pandya for the all-rounder’s slot, essentially based on his big-hitting bravery.

Samson, who recently hit a double hundred for Kerala in the One-Day Competition, is supposed to come in but only as a secondary option to Pant for the time being.

“both Rishab and Samson may appear in the squad.there is no harm in keeping both of them in the squad. They have played together in IPL also. Rishabh has had short success in shorter formats but he is a long-term investment and we need to continue with him,” a BCCI official privy to advancements in the selection panel, told PTI on conditions of anonymity.

“At the same time, Sanju is a champ with game-changing capabilities. Keeping World T20 in mind, the team management needs to examine other choices also as everyone knows that it’s time to look beyond MS Dhoni,” the source added.

With Kohli not there in the squad, Samson is being seen as a back-up batsman but it will be interesting to see if Manish Pandey holds his place in the team that represented against South Africa.

All-rounder Dubey has now pipped Vijay Shankar as the second choice in the White ball format, based on big-hitting strength.

“Cricket analysts acknowledge that Shivam’s bowling is still not international pace and nowhere near the kind of pace and quality Hardik holds.

Even Kohli has recognized him a bit in IPL while performing for RCB,” the source further added.

It is unlikely that spin twins of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal will get a look in as Rahul Chahar and Washington Sundar are set to get another shot.

KL Rahul, after his good show in the one-day tournament, is expected to hold his place in the side. dashing opener Shikhar Dhawan has been out of form for a while but the panel might stay with him for one more series.

In case there is a proposal of omitting Dhawan, Mayank Agarwal could be a decision as the alternate opener. Deepak Chahar, Navdeep Saini, and Khaleel Ahmed are anticipated to be the three leading pacers.
