[ad_1] Shaheen Afridi's struggle to regain his form continued during the highly anticipated World Cup 2023 match between Pakistan and India at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.  Despite being a significant threat to the Indian top order in the past, the tall left-arm seamer couldn't make an impact as India secured a resounding seven-wicket victory, chasing a modest target of 192. Anticipation was high for the clash between Shaheen and the Indian top order, particularly Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Virat Kohli. Known for his late movement and ability to trouble right-handed batsmen, Shaheen was expected to challenge the Indian batting lineup. However, his form had been a concern leading up to the crucial India game, having only taken two wickets for 103 runs in the opening matches against Netherlands and Sri Lanka. In the match against India, Indian skipper immediately took on Shaheen, hitting a boundary off the very first ball. Although Shaheen managed to di

[ad_1] Glenn Maxwell showed no mercy to the Netherlands bowlers and hit them to all parts of the ground during the 24th match of the ICC World Cup 2023 between Australia and the Netherlands at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, India, on Wednesday. Maxwell scored the fastest hundred in the history of the World Cup as the right-handed batter completed his ton in just 40 balls. The 35-year-old came to bat when the Aussies were 266-4 in 38 overs after they had just lost the wicket of Josh Inglis. Maxwell came in and started hitting the Dutch bowlers and scored 106 runs in total off just 44 deliveries courtesy of 17 boundaries, nine fours and eight sixes. The Dutch bowlers had no answer to the rapid knock by Maxwell and looked helpless as he kept on terrorising them for 10 overs, building a 103-run partnership with his skipper Pat Cummins. The fastest World Cup century's record belonged to South Africa's Aidan Markram who scored a ton on 49 balls against Sri Lanka in the

[ad_1] India’s Supreme Court concluded its hearing on Tuesday on a challenge to New Delhi’s 2019 imposition of direct rule in occupied Kashmir, a snap decision that led to protests and mass arrests. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government suspended Article 370 of the constitution that guarantees limited autonomy to the disputed region, home to a long-running insurgency against Indian rule. The five-judge bench headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud will now retire to consider if the move was legal despite lacking the endorsement from parliament usually required for constitutional change. No timeline has been give for their decision. The Supreme Court in New Delhi heard arguments over 16 days from government lawyers, constitutional experts representing occupied Kashmir’s pro-India political parties, and others challenging the move. India has for decades stationed more than half a million soldiers in occupied Kashmir. Pakistan and India have fought three wars over control

[ad_1] Pakistan's pre-World Cup team-bonding trip to Dubai has been canceled due to unforeseen delays in obtaining travel visas for their visit to India in order to participate in the mega-event that is about to commence next month. The initial plan for the Pakistan team was to depart for the UAE next week, spending a few days there before heading to Hyderabad. This was in preparation for their inaugural warm-up match against New Zealand scheduled for September 29. However, due to ongoing visa delays, the team is now set to depart from Lahore to Dubai early next Wednesday and then proceed to Hyderabad for their preparations.  This unforeseen situation has raised concerns within the team, highlighting the complexities and challenges surrounding travel and diplomacy between Pakistan and India. According to ESPNcricinfo, Pakistan is the sole team among the nine sides traveling to India for the World Cup still awaiting visas, shedding light on the strained political relatio

[ad_1] Najam Sethi, the head of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), recently proposed the idea of hosting the Asia Cup in England. “England could be a possibility as a venue for the Asia Cup,” Najam Sethi said in a interview with an Indian media outlet. However, Salman Butt, a former Pakistani cricketer, expressed his reservations about hosting the Asia Cup in England, stating that it would not make sense to have a neutral venue for a tournament that is meant to represent the Asian continent. “A neutral venue like this [England] is not viable for Asia Cup, it will not make sense as it will mean that there is not a single venue in Asia where it could be held,” Salman Butt said. Butt argued that for the sake of giving options, you can provide as many as possible, but it is important to see if they are feasible or not. “You can include England in it and make it Euro-Asia Cup. You can also give this suggestion. In the past, Austral-Asia Cup used to take place in which Australia

[ad_1] Skipper Rohit Sharma said he was bored of talking about India's pitches after the hosts lost the third Test to Australia on a wickedly turning Indore track on Friday. "This pitch talk is getting too much. Every time we play in India it's always about the pitch," Rohit told reporters after his side's nine-wicket loss. Rohit highlighted the first Test between South Africa and the West Indies, which ended inside three days on a fast Centurion surface on Thursday, and said that batting-friendly tracks, like the ones in Pakistan’s home Test series, produced "boring" contests. "People have to play well for the game to last for 5 days. Games are not lasting for five days even outside India. Yesterday, in South Africa, the game got over in three days. If the pitches are helping the bowlers, the batters need to try and test their skills," Rohit said. "It's not about always making sure that we are playing on flat pitches and the

[ad_1] NEW DELHI: Flagging a CAG report that pointed to loopholes in the efforts to deal with plastic waste in the country, a parliamentary panel has expressed disappointment at the "lackadaisical" approach of the central pollution watchdog , CPCB , in dealing with the problem and asked the environment ministry to bridge the data and implementation gaps to fight the plastic menace. Though the panel, Public Accounts Committee (PAC), noted the ministry's efforts to deal with plastic waste since May 2021, its 57-page report underlined the absence of effective measures that could save people from the hazards of plastic pollution. The PAC report on 'pollution caused by plastic' was tabled in Parliament during the budget session. The 22-member committee, comprising MPs of various political parties from both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, is headed by Congress member in the lower House Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury. Plastic waste generation has increased substantially from

[ad_1] NEW DELHI: Private forecasting agency Skymet Weather has predicted a bleak monsoon in India over the next four weeks, raising concerns about the impact on agriculture. "Extended Range Prediction System (ERPS) is projecting a dismal outlook for the next four weeks, until July 6. Agriculture heartland is looking rather cracked and parched. This coincides with the crucial time of sowing or at least preparing the field, with the hope of impending rains," it said on Monday. The central and western parts of India, which form the core monsoon zone, may face challenges in coping with the drying effects due to inadequate rainfall early in the season, Skymet Weather said. The southwest monsoon reached Kerala on June 8, a week after the usual date of June 1. Cyclone Biparjoy in the Arabian Sea first delayed the monsoon onset over Kerala and is now impeding the advance of the rain-bearing system, preventing it from reaching the interior regions of the peninsula, the privat

Today's manoeuvre happened at 2.15am. The spacecraft is now in an orbit of 256km x 1,21,973km, Isro said, adding that its ground stations in Mauritius, Bengaluru, Sriharikota and Port Blair tracked the satellite during this operation, while a transportable terminal currently stationed in the Fiji islands for Aditya-L1 will support post-burn operations. A day ahead of the launch, Isro had said that post launch, Aditya-L1 would stay in Earth-bound orbits for 16 days, during which it would undergo five manoeuvres to gain the necessary velocity for its journey. Subsequently, it would undergo a Trans-Lagrangian1 Insertion (TLI) manoeuvre, marking the beginning of its 110-day trajectory to the destination around the L1 Lagrange point.

[ad_1] HYDERABAD: Vaccine maker Indian Immunologicals Ltd on Monday said it has entered into a partnership with Bhubaneswar-based Central Institute of Freshwater Aquaculture ( CIFA ), an Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) institute, for the commercial development of a freshwater fish vaccine against Hemorrhagic Septicemia . Also called Aeromonas Septicemia , Ulcer Disease or Red-Sore Disease, Hemorrhagic Septicemia is an infection caused by Aeromonas Hydrophila, an opportunistic pathogenic bacterium, in freshwater fish.

[ad_1] NEW DELHI: Vaccines administered for COVID-19 did not increase the risk of sudden death among young adults in India but it was the post-Covid hospitalisation, family history of sudden death, and certain lifestyle behaviours that are likely the underlying causes, according to a peer-reviewed ICMR study. The study by Indian Council of Medical Research(ICMR) was conducted through the participation of 47 tertiary care hospitals across India.Cases were apparently healthy individuals aged 18-45 years without any known co-morbidity, who suddenly died of unexplained causes during October 2021-March 2023.

[ad_1] Pakistan captain, Babar Azam, has responded to former Indian cricketer, Aakash Chopra's assessment that he is not yet part of the renowned Test cricket’s "Fab Four" that includes Virat Kohli, Kane Williamson, Steve Smith, and Joe Root. Chopra recently said that the "Fab Four" in Test cricket is no longer a valid term, as Virat Kohli's recent poor form has excluded him from the group. He added that Pakistan captain has the potential to join the group, but he hasn't reached that status just yet. During a press conference prior to the first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle, Azam said that his focus is on performing well and letting his name establish itself through consistent excellence on the field. "Everyone has their own point of view and opinion. My job is to perform. All the records I have broken thus far were due to my performances. My focus is to keep giving performances, so the name will keep coming everywhere by itself,"

[ad_1] MUMBAI: Former ICICI Bank CEO Chanda Kochhar accepted " illegal gratification " of Rs 64 crore other than legal remuneration as a motive or reward and also "misappropriated the bank's funds for her own use", submitted the prosecution on Monday, urging the special CBI court to take cognisance of the chargesheet against Kochhar, her husband Deepak Kochhar and Videocon promoter Venugopal Dhoot in a Rs 3,250-crore loan fraud case.

[ad_1] NEW DELHI: Isro is gearing up for the launch of PSLV-C55 mission next week and the lift-off is likely on April 22. Unlike previous launches, this launch is unique as integration of different stages of the rocket has been done in an innovative way to help reduce time in the assembly process. The PSLV-C55 is also the first rocket to be integrated at the new PSLV Integration Facility (PIF) and is said it will put a Singaporean satellite in space . During previous PSLV missions, the entire space vehicle was integrated at the first launchpad with the help of the Mobile Service Tower (MST). However, Isro is following a new approach with the PSLV-C55 mission as the first and second stages will be integrated at the PIF centre and will be transferred to the first launch pad via the new mobile launch pedestal (MLP). The new approach will allow the partial integration of a PSLV vehicle even if the first launch pad has been preoccupied with another launch and thus helps increase the
