Mark Twain, sometimes reality is stranger than fantasy because fantasy is limited by one’s imagination; reality isn’t. India’s World Cup campaign is a wonderful example. Not even in anybody’s wildest fantasy would India have won 10 out of 10 matches, like the way Rohit Sharma’s blue brigade has done. Who would have thought that India would go on to beat every team: defending champions England, champions of champions Australia, run-machine South Africa, bigger-than-the sum-of-their-parts and their conquerors in the last edition New Zealand (twice), most-important-team-to-beat Pakistan, favourite opposition Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, while also avoiding any possible upsets against Afghanistan and Netherlands.

Las Vegas for the 2023 Grand Prix took an unexpected turn on its opening day, as disastrous scenes unfolded at the newly-built street circuit, raising safety concerns and sparking controversy. The chaos began just eight minutes into the first practice session when a concrete framing for a water valve cracked, causing catastrophic damage to two cars that drove over it. Ferrari's Carlos Sainz and Esteban Ocon both fell victim to the loose manhole cover, with Sainz's battery, engine, and chassis suffering severe damage at a speed of around 318km/h. The incident prompted the cancellation of the first practice session and a delay of two and a half hours for repairs and safety checks on every manhole cover on the 6.2km track.
