July 25th, 2025 – Tsunami Returns Again
On the morning of July 25, 2025, a massive tsunami struck the eastern coast of China, leaving behind a trail of destruction and despair. Triggered by a powerful undersea earthquake measuring 8.6 on the Richter scale in the East China Sea, the tsunami waves surged towards the mainland with little warning. The coastal provinces of Zhejiang, Fujian, and parts of Shanghai were the hardest hit. Towering waves reaching up to 30 feet crashed through harbors, fishing villages, and urban centers, uprooting homes, sweeping away vehicles, and submerging infrastructure under an unforgiving tide of water and debris.
In the immediate aftermath, chaos unfolded as emergency responders struggled to access the worst-affected areas due to flooded roads and destroyed communication lines. Thousands of residents were reported missing, and countless families were displaced. Eyewitnesses described a horrifying scene of people running through streets engulfed by rising waters, buildings collapsing under pressure, and the cries of children and the elderly echoing through the wind. Hospitals were quickly overwhelmed, and makeshift shelters were set up in nearby highlands and schools to accommodate survivors. The Chinese government deployed the military to aid in search and rescue operations, while neighboring provinces mobilized resources to assist their devastated counterparts.
International aid began pouring in within hours, with humanitarian agencies sending medical supplies, food, and clean water to the afflicted zones. As satellite imagery revealed the scale of the destruction, the world watched in grief and solidarity. Experts have warned that this catastrophe should serve as a wake-up call for bolstering coastal defense systems and disaster preparedness in the region. While the scars left by the July 25 tsunami will take years to heal, the resilience of the Chinese people, bound together by loss, courage, and community, has already begun to emerge in the face of this unprecedented natural disaster. →

While Jadeja missed out on his century, the star all-rounder set a world record as he became the first visiting player to be involved in multiple partnerships of more than 200 runs at Edgbaston. Jadeja had also been involved in a 222-run partnership on the ground in 2022 with Rishabh Pant for the sixth wicket. Overall, there have been seven instances of a double-century partnership in Birmingham from away team players and Jadeja is the only player to feature twice. Infact, India and Pakistan are the only teams with players involved in multiple double-century partnerships at the ground. Jadeja is the only the fourth player in history from a visiting team to put up three 80+ scores in England while batting number seven or below after Sir Richie Haddlee, Ian Healy, and Kapil Dev. Had Jadeja got a ton, he would have been the first player from an away team to hit multiple tons in England from number seven or below. →
