It was for long the insurmountable peak for ODI batting, but one man might now have a template to score ODI double-centuries again and again. In Bengaluru, against
Australia in 2013, Rohit Sharma reached 20 off 35th ball, 50 off the 71st, and the hundred in the 38th over of the innings. In Kolkata, against Sri Lanka in 2014, he was
nearly caught for 4 off the 17th ball he faced, reached his 20th run off the 35th ball, but accelerated slightly earlier to bring up his century in the 32nd over of the
innings. On a cold mid-week afternoon in Mohali this season, he was even slower to start, reaching 20 off 37 balls, 50 off 65 balls, and bringing up the hundred only in
the 40th over. All three were ODI doubles. One time can be a charm, but to accelerate so crazily three times after having set up the innings and to make it look
predictable is a perfect combination of skill, fitness and the right mental approach to ODI batting. You can be all amazed at how he manages to do it, but Rohit's
reaction to it is typically relaxed. "That's my template, no?" he tends to ask. He remembers the innings clearly: reaching "50 off 70 balls", bringing up the hundred "near
the 40th over", and then knowing that the bowlers can't get him out unless he makes a mistake. "That is my style of play," Rohit said. "You are set and seeing the ball
nice and hard and you have understood what the bowlers are trying to do by then, and it's all about trying to play with the field once you get past 100. It's all about you
not making a mistake and getting out. I am not saying it's impossible or difficult, but it's very unlikely the bowlers are going to get you out once you have scored a
hundred. "So it was all about me not making a mistake and batting as long as possible. That's what I did. There is no secret or formula to it. You just have to bat and
not make any mistake. The ground is good, the pitch is nice and hard, so you can trust the bounce and play the shots."
According to passage what made Rohit Sharma so consistent with his innings for three times consecutively?
1). skill
2). fitness
3). right mental approach
4). All of these

Malnutrition affects millions of people worldwide and is responsible for one-fifth of deaths in children under the age of five. Children can also experience impaired
cognitive development and stunted growth.
According to Finlay and UBC PhD student Er ic Brown, malnutrition can be difficult to treat because it affects the good bacteria that live in the gut. People suffering
from malnutrition often show signs of a disease known as environmental enteropathy, which is an inflammatory disorder of the small intestine and is likely caused by
ingesting pathogenic fecal bacteria early in life from a contaminated environment. This shifts the balance of the original healthy bacteria in the gut and leads to poor
absorption of nutrients.
The study, published in Nature Communications, explains how the research team developed a mouse model to reproduce the symptoms of environmental
enteropathy and malnourishment.
“We were able to see how a malno urished diet has a strong, measurable impact on the microbes in the small intestine,” said Brown. “This new model gives us the
opportunity to examine the impact of malnutrition on gut microbiology and assess the role of infections.”
Pathogenic bacterial infections like salmonella and E. coli are huge problems in developing countries beca use they are much more harmful to people suffering from
malnutrition, leading to chronic diarrhea and inflammation.
“Treatments and vaccines created in developed nations and tested on healthy people often don't work in malnourished populations,” said Finlay, distinguished
professor at UBC's Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies. “People suffering from malnutrition respond differently.”
With an animal model, Finlay said researchers will be better able to test treatments and understand how malnutrition impacts a child's development.
Why malnutrition is difficult to be treated?
1). As it is a communicable disease.
2). No vaccine is available for it.
3). People don’t consider malnut rition a serious problem at all.
4). As it affects the good bacteria in the gut
