New Delhi: India is expected to remain the world’s fastest growing major economy despite a marginal downward revision in its growth outlook by the International Monetary Fund. In its July 2026 World Economic Outlook update, the IMF projected India’s GDP growth at 6.4 percent for the 2026–27 financial year, slightly lower than its earlier estimate of 6.5 percent.

While India’s outlook remains robust, the IMF lowered its…

Speaking after the match, Archer explained that bowlers in England can rely on…

Led by Shreyas Iyer, India were bowled out for just 76 while chasing a challenging target, leaving them without a win in the five match series at that stage and needing victories in the remaining two matches to draw the contest. Reacting to the defeat, Kumble said a world champion side should not collapse…

New Delhi: England midfielder Morgan Rogers has admitted there may be no foolproof way to stop Norway’s prolific striker Erling Haaland but believes cutting off his supply of chances will be the key when the two teams meet in the FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter finals. England will face Norway in Miami with a place in the semi finals at stake, taking on a Norwegian side led by Haaland, who has been one of the tournament’s standout performers. The Manchester City striker has already scored seven goals in the competition, making him one of the leading scorers at the World…
