Ravindra Jadeja s batting rampage secured a record-equaling 37 runs off the last over before taking 3-13 with the ball as Chennai Super Kings beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by 69 runs in the Indian Premier League on Monday.
Delhi Capitals later joined Chennai and Bangalore at the top of the leaderboard on eight points after beating Sunrisers Hyderabad in the first Super Over of the season.
At Mumbai, Bangalore finally lost a game after winning four in a row as Jadeja equaled Chris Gayle s IPL record, set against Kochi Tuskers Prasanth Parameswaran during the 2011 edition of the IPL. But it was easily the most expensive 20th over, beating the previous record of 30.

Do you know anyone who says “Anglo-American heritage” in a sentence? What could possibly be the purpose of saying that other than to pit Americans against each other? For the chief law enforcement officer to use a dog whistle like that is appalling. Best NO vote I ever cast. Brian Schatz (@brianschatz) February 12, 2018
Here’s the offending paragraph from Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ speech to a convention of sheriffs that so outraged Senator Schatz (D-Hawaii):
I want to thank every sheriff in America. Since our founding, the independently elected sheriff has been the people’s protector, who keeps law enforcement close to and accountable to people through the elected process. The office of sheriff is a critical part of the Anglo-American heritage of law enforcement.
New Smart Tube Embeds Digital Tire Pressure Sensor: Tubolito MTB PSENS [Tested]

Tubolito just released a new product, the MTB PSENS “smart tube.” It weighs ~93g, and has an NFC (near field communication) chip inside the tube, to read the air pressure and send the reading to a very nearby iPhone or Android phone, via the free Tubolito app. The MTB PSENS costs $50. Obviously, we had to try it out.
Installation is straightforward as any tube can be, and the PSENS doesn’t call for any sort of extra care. With the tube installed, take your phone and tap the top of the tire, with the valve at high noon, and with the Tubolito app, the NFC chip will read the pressure in the tire and send it to the app.
