Gujarat survives David Miller’s late blitz for a 1-run win over Delhi in Indian Premier League

NEW DELHI, India (AP) — Gujarat Titans withstood David Miller’s late onslaught to record a one-run victory over Delhi Capitals on the final ball Wednesday in the Indian Premier League.

Needing two runs off Prasidh Krishna’s last ball, Miller missed the slower short ball and wicketkeeper Jos Buttler hit the stumps at the striker’s end with Kuldeep Yadav well short of his crease as Delhi finished at 209-8.

Earlier, half-centuries from Shubman Gill (70), Washington Sundar (55) and Buttler (52) led Gujarat to 210-4 after Axar Patel won the toss in Delhi’s home game and elected to field.

Gujarat was in control when Lokesh Rahul (92 off 52 balls) missed out on a century and Mohammed Siraj had him caught behind in the 17th over.

With Delhi still requiring 45 of the last three overs, Miller returned to the crease after the South African left-hander had got retired hurt in the 12th over after a hand injury during batting.

Kagiso Rabada conceded just nine runs in the 18th over before Miller hit Siraj for 23 runs in the penultimate over, reducing the target to 13 of Krishna’s last over.

Vipraj Nigam smacked Krishna’s first delivery over mid off for a boundary before he got caught off the next ball, but Miller’s big six off the fourth ball reduced the target to two runs from the final two balls.

Miller could have tied the score, but he didn’t run a single off the fifth ball as he pulled to deep backward square leg before he missed out the final ball and Yadav got run out as Gujarat finally got its first points this season after losing twice.

Rashid Khan’s superb spell of 3-17 in the middle overs brought Gujarat back ias the leg-spinner chipped in with the wickets of Nitish Rana (5) and Sameer Rizvi for nought in one over before rounding out his spell with the wicket of Patel (2).

Earlier, Gill anchored Gujarat to a strong total with two solid partnerships. Buttler smashed five sixes and three fours in his 27-ball blitz before he was undone by Yadav and got clean bowled in the eighth over.

But Sundar and Gill kept the momentum going with a 104-run stand as Sundar completed his maiden IPL fifty. Lungi Ngidi, who consistently deceived batters with slower deliveries, had Gill caught at mid-off with a ball that lacked pace.

Sundar fell in the last over to Mukesh Kumar, who finished with expensive figures of 2-55 after conceding 12 runs of his final over.

NEW YORK (AP) — Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is launching a new podcast that he says will begin “a new era of radical transparency in government,” according to a teaser video first obtained by The Associated Press.

The show, titled “The Secretary Kennedy Podcast,” will launch next week and feature Kennedy, a longtime anti-vaccine crusader who has reshaped the country’s health policy, in conversation with doctors, scientists and agency staff, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services officials told the AP ahead of the launch. In the teaser video, in a slick HHS-branded studio with ominous music playing in the background, Kennedy bills it as a new way to expose corruption and lies that have made Americans sick.

“We’re going to name the names of the forces that obstruct the paths to public health,” Kennedy says in the nearly 90-second clip.

Joining the Trump administration last year gave Kennedy a new platform for his views, some of which contradict the overwhelming consensus of scientists. A podcast could further elevate those ideas. Administration officials say it will help spread an important message about chronic disease and improving health to a wider audience.

“This is part of our larger strategy to bring the Make America Healthy Again message to as wide an audience as we can,” said Liam Nahill, HHS digital director.

The new communication effort from HHS comes as the department has faced a bevy of recent setbacks, including widespread criticism of its vaccine policy changes, a federal ruling last month blocking several of those moves, and resistance from key Republican senators that has kept President Donald Trump’s surgeon general pick from taking office. In that way, it could be seen as part of a broader rebranding strategy as the agency redirects away from vaccine efforts and toward a less contentious agenda on healthy food ahead of November’s midterm elections.

But the show, which has been in the works since early in the second Trump administration, also reflects Kennedy returning to a format where he has long felt at ease. He hosted his own podcast before entering office, and has appeared on dozens to share his perspectives in longform interviews, as recently as this week.

Tyler Burger, HHS digital communications manager and the producer of the new podcast, said while Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary has a podcast, officials believe Kennedy's will be the first to be hosted by a sitting cabinet secretary.

“We’re kind of bringing podcasting into the government as an official form and arm of our messaging,” Burger said. He said the set for the show was pieced together largely with items the agency already had, and has the capacity for a total of four people to sit in conversation together.

Because podcasts are now commonly made not only on audio but video, they are regularly clipped and shared across social media platforms, giving them “massive” reach, according to Melina Much, a postdoctoral fellow for New York University's Center for Social Media and Politics.

Much said podcasts also tend to be more intimate, conversational and friendly than a traditional interview, allowing administration officials to promote themselves without facing as much pushback.

Critics suggested the show would be used to spread falsehoods. It's "just another official channel to spread misinformation that will inject more dangerous conspiracy theories into the mainstream,” said Grace Silva, spokesperson for 314 Action, a left-leaning political action committee aimed at electing scientists in Congress.

Though officials wouldn't share a list of upcoming guests, Kennedy let one slip when he appeared as a guest on a recent episode of “The Bossticks.” He said for his own podcast, he spoke with Robert Irvine, the celebrity chef who has been tasked with revamping U.S. Army meals.

While Kennedy's teaser focuses on uncovering lies, HHS spokesman Andrew Nixon said the show will aim to cover affordability and other topics that polls show are salient for American voters of both parties ahead of the midterms.

“Americans are united on the need to urgently address chronic disease, improve nutrition, strengthen food quality, and lower health costs," he said. "The Secretary Kennedy Podcast will cover all those issues.”
