Sydney, Feb 27 : Swashbuckling skipper AB de Villiers struck the fastest ever 150 runs in ODI history off 64 balls as he anchored South Africa to record a 257-run victory over the West Indies in their World Cup Pool B tie in Sydney.

Opting to bat first, South Africa piled up an imposing target of 408, thanks to De Villiers' unbeaten 162-run knock and constructive knocks from Hashim Amla (65), Faf du Plessis (62) and Rilee Rossouw (61).

In the process, De Villiers, who has been named as the Man-of-the-Match, also hit the second fastest World Cup ton off just 52 deliveries.

South Africa suffered an early blow in the form of Quinton de Kock after he was dismissed for 12 runs off a Jason Holder's delivery.

Washington: Eating fish and soaking up some sun may protect brain health, a new study suggests.

Vitamin D and marine omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the symptoms associated with a broad array of brain disorders by controlling brain serotonin, scientists say.

In a previous study, researchers found that vitamin D regulates the conversion of the essential amino acid tryptophan into serotonin and this may influence the development of autism, particularly in developing children with poor vitamin D status.

Serotonin affects a wide-range of cognitive functions and behaviours including mood, decision-making, social behaviour, impulsive behaviour, and even plays a role in social decision-making by keeping in check aggressive social responses or impulsive behaviour.

Mumbai, Feb. 27 - The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer ( CEO) of the Bombay Stock Exchange ( BSE), Ashish Chauhan , on Friday said India has a great chance of becoming a manufacturing hub.

'Make in India' is the main plank and somewhere on the line we have lost the bus. Over the last thirty five years when China started coming up, we lost the bus on the manufacturing side and we made up partially through the services framework that we created. Without too much of thinking the services sector came into India, BPOs and other, which were the newer world and the older manufacturing came to China," Chauhan told ANI here.

New Delhi: Huma Qureshi started her Bollywood journey by starring in edgy, unconventional films but even she had doubts about signing Sriram Raghavan's 'Badlapur' as the actress felt it was "too dark" and "hard-hitting".

"The only reason I said yes was because of the team and how everybody believed in it. I was the third actor to join the movie and I was really scared. We had a big discussion about should I, shouldn't I or will it be too much or too dark. I have been a part of edgy films earlier but 'Badlapur' was quite hard-hitting," Huma told reporters in an interview.

Huma, 28, is one of the four actresses in the Varun Dhawan-Nawazuddin Siddiqui starrer revenge drama. Though her presence is limited to 5-6 scenes in the movie, Huma has earned a lot of praise for her performance.
