“Next KP in making” – Fans react to Harry Brook’s blistering 135 in NZ vs ENG 2025 1st ODI

England’s ODI skipper, Harry Brook, played a sensational knock in their first game against New Zealand in the ongoing three-match series. The opening match took place at Mount Maunganui on Sunday, October 26.

Batting first, England suffered a top-order collapse, losing four wickets with just ten runs on the board. However, captain Harry Brook stepped up and played an innings for the ages. The right-hander slammed a scintillating hundred and led his team’s fightback spectacularly.

Brook scored 135 runs off just 101 balls, batting at number five. His stellar innings included nine boundaries and 11 sixes, striking at an impressive rate of 133.66. Thanks to his heroics, England managed to post a competitive total of 223 before being bundled out in 35.2 overs.

Fans around the world were awestruck by Brook’s brilliance and took to X (formerly Twitter) to celebrate his blistering hundred. One fan even suggested that Brook could be the next Kevin Pietersen for England, noting Pietersen’s reputation for explosive middle-order batting. The fan tweeted, “Harry Brook man. He is next KP in making. He will rule.”

Here are some other reactions from fans on X, praising Brook’s fabulous knock:

While Brook’s innings was nothing short of magnificent, the total of 223 might not be enough for England to defend against a strong New Zealand side. Nonetheless, England will be keen for their skipper to carry this excellent form into the remaining matches of the series.

### A Look at Harry Brook’s International Career

Harry Brook, in his relatively short international career so far, has emerged as an exceptional talent for England across all formats of the game.

The 26-year-old made his international debut in January 2022 in a T20I against the West Indies. His Test debut came later that year against South Africa, and his maiden ODI appearance was also against the same opponents in 2023.

To date, Brook has featured in 30 Tests, 33 ODIs, and 52 T20Is. In Test cricket, he has amassed 2,820 runs from 50 innings at an outstanding average of 57.55, including 10 centuries and 13 half-centuries.

In ODIs, Brook has scored 1,130 runs at an average of 37.66, with two centuries and six fifties from 33 matches. In the shortest format, he has accumulated 1,012 runs from 52 games at an average of 30.66, boasting a strike rate of 151.72 along with five half-centuries.

With such promising numbers and a natural flair for attacking cricket, Harry Brook is undoubtedly a key figure in England’s cricketing future. Fans will be hoping to see more extraordinary innings from their dynamic captain in the upcoming matches.

“We will celebrate this win” – Jaipur Pink Panthers’ head coach reacts after win over Haryana Steelers in Pro Kabaddi 2025 Playoffs

**Jaipur Pink Panthers Edge Out Defending Champions Haryana Steelers in Pro Kabaddi 2025 Play-In**

Jaipur Pink Panthers secured a thrilling 30-27 victory over defending champions Haryana Steelers in Play-in 1 of the Pro Kabaddi 2025 season on Saturday, October 25. This win propelled the Panthers into the Eliminator round, where they will face the Patna Pirates.

**Coach Narender Redhu Reflects on the Match**

Jaipur Pink Panthers’ head coach Narender Redhu shared his thoughts on the game during the post-match press conference. He highlighted the team’s strategic preparation, especially in dealing with Haryana’s key defenders Jaideep Dahiya and Rahul Sethpal.

“Our plan was to avoid Jaideep and Rahul, who are their main defenders. And we did that,” said Redhu. “It definitely lifts the confidence when young players perform so well. We will benefit from this game. It was clear that they have a good defense, and if they took the lead, our raiders would have to try more. So we had planned to keep our defense tight. Our defense did well, and we got a lead and we did not let it go.”

This season, the Panthers fielded a relatively new team with several youngsters. However, they not only reached the playoffs but also delivered impressive performances throughout the campaign.

Redhu added, “We will celebrate this win. These are all new guys and playing for the first time but have done so well. We will plan for the next game tomorrow.”

**Next Up: Eliminator 1 Against Patna Pirates**

The Panthers will take on the Patna Pirates in Eliminator 1 on Sunday, October 26, aiming to continue their strong run in the playoffs.

**Haryana Steelers Coach Manpreet Singh Reacts to the Defeat**

The loss to Jaipur Pink Panthers marked the end of the season for the defending champions Haryana Steelers. Reflecting on the defeat, head coach Manpreet Singh acknowledged the Panthers’ superior performance.

“We cannot get away by saying we made mistakes. They played really well. They played better. We could not play well. After half-time we had to take more risk,” Singh said. “We will have to work on our mistakes for the next season.”

The Steelers faced additional challenges this season, notably the absence of raider Naveen Kumar, who played just four games before being sidelined due to injury. Singh provided an update on Naveen’s rehabilitation and future with the team.

“Naveen is preparing and getting fit. We will have to see how he plays in the nationals. But whether he wants to go into the auction or stay with us depends on him. If he is fit, we would want to keep him. But right now he is under rehab.”

Looking ahead, Haryana Steelers aim to regroup and make a stronger comeback in the upcoming season.

Bitcoin flashing ‘rare’ top signal, Hayes tips $1M BTC: Hodler’s Digest, Oct. 19 – 25

Top Stories of The Week

Trader who made $190M shorting crash also apparently bet on CZ’s pardon

The anonymous crypto trader who reportedly made millions shorting the crypto market before US President Donald Trump’s tariff announcement appears to have profited again by betting that Trump would pardon the founder of Binance.

Onchain sleuth Euan highlighted Etherscan data showing a connection between this trader and a Polymarket account. The crypto wallet allegedly made $56,522 on Polymarket by betting that Trump would pardon Changpeng “CZ” Zhao sometime in 2025.

This trader had already been suspected within crypto circles of having access to insider knowledge, after their tightly timed Bitcoin and Ethereum shorts just hours before Trump’s tariff announcement sent prices tumbling.

Rumble partners with Tether to add Bitcoin tips for content creators

Video-sharing platform Rumble is preparing to roll out Bitcoin tipping for its more than 51 million monthly active users, announced CEO Chris Pavlovski on Friday.

Rumble has teamed up with stablecoin issuer Tether to enable Bitcoin tipping, Pavlovski said onstage at the Plan ₿ Forum in Lugano, Switzerland. “Right now, we’re in the testing phase [but] we’re going to start rolling that out alongside Tether here in the coming weeks,” he added.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino, also onstage, expects a full rollout by early to mid-December once small bugs are fixed and the user experience is polished.

‘Crazy stuff’ needed for Bitcoin to reach $250K this year: Novogratz

Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz said that for Bitcoin to reach $250,000 by the end of the year, the planets would almost need to align perfectly.

Several crypto executives have recently reaffirmed their $250,000 Bitcoin price predictions for year-end. “The end of the year is only two and a half months away,” Novogratz said during a CNBC interview, adding: “There would have to be a heck of a lot of crazy stuff to really get that kind of momentum.”

Arthur Hayes calls for $1M Bitcoin as new Japan PM orders economic stimulus

Japan’s new Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, announced a package of economic stimulus measures on Tuesday aimed at easing inflation’s impact on households.

Some crypto observers believe these measures may drive more capital into Bitcoin. The stimulus includes subsidies for electricity and gas charges, as well as regional grants to ease price pressures and encourage small to medium-sized businesses to raise wages.

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes interpreted this as a precursor to more fiat money printing by Japan’s central bank, which he says may propel Bitcoin’s rise to $1 million. “Translation: let’s print money to hand out to folks to help with food and energy costs,” Hayes commented on X, adding this dynamic might trigger a rise in both Bitcoin and the Japanese yen.

Prediction markets hit new high as Polymarket enters Sam Altman’s World

“World App users can download and access the new Mini App today in countries where Polymarket’s services are permitted,” the announcement said.

Top FUD of The Week

Spot Ether ETFs see outflows for second consecutive week amid ‘cooling demand’

Spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have experienced two straight weeks of outflows amid cooling investor sentiment after months of strong inflows.

According to SoSoValue data, Ether products posted $243.9 million in net redemptions for the week ending Friday, following the previous week’s $311 million outflow.

This brings cumulative inflows across all Ether spot ETFs to $14.35 billion, with total net assets at $26.39 billion—approximately 5.55% of Ethereum’s market cap.

On Friday, the funds saw $93.6 million in outflows. BlackRock’s ETHA ETF led withdrawals with $100.99 million outflows, while Grayscale’s ETHE and Bitwise’s ETHW posted minor inflows.

Young Australians’ biggest financial regret: Ignoring Bitcoin at $400

Over 40% of Australian Gen Z and Millennials regret not investing in cryptocurrency a decade ago, a new survey from crypto broker Swyftx reveals.

The study, conducted by YouGov and released Thursday, surveyed 3,009 people. Nearly half of those under 35 expressed regret for missing out on crypto, followed by regrets over not buying property or shares in big tech companies like Apple and Amazon.

The fear of missing out (FOMO) is likely fueled by institutional buying of Bitcoin and Ether by corporations, sovereign entities, and US pension funds, according to Swyftx.

However, some Bitcoin analysts remain confident that the charts signal further upside ahead.

Rick Pitino pulling many positives from St. John’s competitive preseason loss to Michigan

One week ago, St. John’s struggled against mid-major opponent Towson but found a way to secure a win. Saturday night, however, they fell short in a 96-94 overtime setback to Michigan at the Garden. Despite the loss, there were encouraging signs in the Johnnies’ fight, their ability to rally from deficits, and the overall play of their frontcourt.

“I saw a lot of really good things,” coach Rick Pitino said afterward. “But I think the weakness is just eight new guys [getting used to] playing together. Great game, great game.”

The entertaining exhibition featured two preseason Top 10 teams, each boasting some of the nation’s best forwards: Zuby Ejiofor for St. John’s and Yaxel Lendeborg for Michigan. Both forwards performed well, combining for 49 points. St. John’s forwards Bryce Hopkins and Dillon Mitchell also had strong moments, each contributing 13 points. Point guard Dylan Darling (seven points, two assists) rebounded from a shaky outing against Towson.

Ultimately, Michigan proved superior on the glass, outrebounding St. John’s by 12 boards. The Wolverines also shot an efficient 52.2 percent from the field compared to 39.7 percent for the Johnnies. Pitino emphasized the need for his guards to improve their rebounding and defense while praising the active play of his frontcourt.

It didn’t help that starting guards Oziyah Sellers and Joson Sanon (14 points) both fouled out, limiting their minutes. Michigan coach Dusty May believed this was a key factor in the outcome.

The Red Storm trailed by eight early in overtime before sophomore Lefteris Liotopoulos caught fire, scoring eight consecutive points. He had a chance to give St. John’s the lead with 8.4 seconds left but missed two of three free throws.

Pitino and Ejiofor expressed concern over being outrebounded in both exhibition games and acknowledged that the many new players aren’t yet fully cohesive. While the defense forced 22 turnovers, it allowed 54 points in the paint to the mammoth Wolverines, who feature two seven-footers, Morez Johnson Jr. and Aday Mara.

“We’re trying to get back to that defensive mindset we had last year,” said Ejiofor, who finished with 24 points, six rebounds, six assists, and three steals. “It’s going to take time, but we’re going to figure it out.

“There’s no excuses. Winning is the standard that we’re trying to build here at St. John’s. Everybody came here to win, all the transfers came here to win. Just be better and learn from it.”

Pitino repeatedly praised the experience of facing an elite opponent at the Garden for the lessons it provided. The Hall of Fame coach intentionally scheduled a difficult nonconference slate to better prepare St. John’s for the challenges ahead.

“We’ll be ready for Quinnipiac. I don’t know if we’re ready for Alabama or Kentucky, Ole Miss, and the Las Vegas trip,” Pitino said. “But we’ll get it done. A lot of people are in the same boat we’re in with new players. I set the schedule tough because I need to know [where we have to get better].

“If we played a [lesser] team and won easily, we wouldn’t know what our weaknesses are. So I wanted to find out, and I found out tonight what our weaknesses are. It’s a great teaching tool.”

BlockDAG Surpasses $430M In Presale as BNB Dips and Worldcoin Targets $2.10 in the 2025 Crypto Watchlist!

Learn How BlockDAG’s Over $430M Presale Is Redefining Growth While Binance Coin Dips and Worldcoin Aims for $2.10

The market’s next rotation is already underway. Binance Coin (BNB), Worldcoin (WLD), and BlockDAG (BDAG) headline this week’s top-rated cryptocurrencies, each representing a different phase in market development.

While Binance Coin (BNB) price dropped to $1,182, showing short-term consolidation, Worldcoin’s (WLD) price prediction continues to lean bullish, with analysts expecting a move above $2.10. Yet, it’s BlockDAG’s ongoing presale that has captured global attention, having raised over $430 million with its $0.0015 limited-time entry in Batch 31.

Backed by more than 3.5 million X1 users, 312,000+ holders, and 20,000+ miners sold, BDAG is proving that real traction precedes market hype. While BNB and WLD focus on maintaining support levels, BlockDAG is building an entire ecosystem ready to reshape Layer-1 performance.

BNB Dips Slightly but Retains Long-Term Strength

Binance Coin (BNB) price dropped by 0.23%, resting near $1,182, as the market paused after weeks of steady growth. The pullback seems more like a breather than a breakdown, with the asset still holding above key moving averages.

Technical charts show mixed momentum. A bullish MACD crossover suggests potential upside, while neutral oscillators indicate consolidation. The next crucial resistance is at $1,194, which could confirm renewed upward momentum if broken. On the downside, $1,117 remains a strong support.

This quiet phase gives strategic traders time to reassess positions before the next market swing. BNB’s consistency during broader volatility signals confidence from its community and underlines its reputation as one of the most stable assets among top-rated cryptocurrencies.

Worldcoin Builds Momentum Toward $2.10 Target

Worldcoin (WLD) is showing early signs of strength after weeks of sideways trading. The asset has climbed to $0.98, edging closer to reclaiming the $1.00–$1.10 support range that could serve as a launchpad for the next rally.

Analysts forecast a potential move toward $2.10, which would nearly double its value if buying volume sustains. Renewed optimism follows a steady rise in market sentiment and healthy trading activity, signaling that confidence is returning to WLD.

However, maintaining price stability above $1 remains essential for preserving the bullish outlook. Many analysts describe this current range as an accumulation phase, where gradual consolidation sets the stage for a larger move.

If momentum holds, Worldcoin could soon rejoin the list of top performers among 2025’s trending digital assets.

Final Countdown: BlockDAG’s $0.0015 Presale Sparks a Global Buying Wave

BlockDAG continues to accelerate ahead of its November 26 Genesis Day, marking one of the most successful presales in recent memory. With over $430 million raised, more than 27 billion BDAG coins sold, and a global community exceeding 3.5 million mobile miners, the project’s fundamentals show strength unmatched by most presale initiatives.

Currently priced at $0.0015 in Batch 31, BDAG’s limited-time offer represents the final window before the network transitions to public trading. Its TGE Code feature gives ranked presale participants early airdrop access, adding an incentive layer to engage before launch.

The hybrid DAG + Proof-of-Work design provides scalability for up to 15,000 TPS, maintaining the security standards of PoW systems while optimizing transaction speed.

BlockDAG’s ecosystem already includes verified audits, a functional Awakening Testnet, and a prestigious partnership with the BWT Alpine Formula 1® Team, extending its brand visibility beyond crypto circles.

This combination of technical credibility, community expansion, and real utility has positioned BDAG as one of the top-rated cryptocurrencies entering 2025. As the presale window narrows, experts agree: BlockDAG isn’t following trends, it’s defining them.

Once Genesis Day arrives, early participants may see the payoff of being ahead of the market’s next major narrative.

BlockDAG Leads the 2025 Outlook

While Binance Coin’s minor pullback reflects consolidation and Worldcoin’s $2.10 target showcases recovery potential, BlockDAG represents growth on an entirely different scale.

Its hybrid architecture, audited infrastructure, and rapidly expanding ecosystem make it a rare presale with measurable progress. With the $0.0015 entry price closing soon and $430M+ already secured, BlockDAG continues to dominate analyst discussions across major crypto forums.

As the countdown to Genesis Day continues, BDAG is shaping the conversation around what defines the next generation of Layer-1s, making it not just a presale story but the start of a new chapter for blockchain scalability and adoption.
