New Delhi: India’s build-up to the 2026 T20 World Cup has prompted a significant shift in player management, with Hardik Pandya expected to sit out the upcoming ODI series against South Africa as he continues to recover from a quadriceps injury. The three-match series, beginning November 30, is not considered central to India’s immediate roadmap, and the all-rounder will focus exclusively on T20 workloads for now. Hardik has been undergoing rehabilitation at the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence after hurting his quadriceps during last year’s Asia Cup in Dubai, which ruled him out of the final. Officials familiar with the recovery…

New Delhi: India captain Shubman Gill will undergo a fitness assessment on Friday to determine whether he can play the second Test against South Africa, beginning Saturday in Guwahati. His availability remains doubtful after he injured his neck during the series opener at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens, a match India lost by 30 runs within three days. Gill, who travelled with the squad to Guwahati, did not participate in Thursday’s training session. He is expected to take the fitness test a day before the match to evaluate his readiness for the crucial contest. The batter faced only three balls in India’s…

“A penalty of one lakh rupees may sound substantial, but for a property that hosts premium destination events, it may not be enough to deter future violations. The Tourism Department has mentioned possible action under the Tourist Trade Act and even provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. These are serious options. But they only matter if applied decisively. Every year Goa issues stern warnings. Every year illegal setups appear on beaches. Without visible follow-through, rules become threats on paper rather than instruments of protection. Yet enforcement alone is not the whole story. Goa already permits beach weddings, which means the…

New Delhi: Russia has proposed an expansive defence cooperation plan to India ahead of President Vladimir Putin’s visit next month, offering full access to the technology behind its fifth-generation Su-57 stealth fighter. The proposal includes initial deliveries of Russian-built jets followed by a phased shift of production to India, potentially transforming India’s future fighter aircraft capabilities. Rostec chief Sergey Chemezov said at the Dubai Air Show 2025 that Moscow is ready to open the entire Su-57 ecosystem to India. This includes the transfer of engine technology, stealth materials, sensors and other key components that no other country has offered to…

New Delhi: The Supreme Court has indicated that it may shift the case involving the rape and murder of a trainee doctor from RG Kar Medical College and Hospital to either Delhi or the Calcutta High Court. The court noted that the matter has become too fragmented, with several connected proceedings already underway in the Calcutta High Court, making it impractical to address the issues in parts. A bench of Justices MM Sundresh and Satish Chandra Sharma observed that it is not feasible for the Supreme Court to monitor every aspect of the situation, including ongoing protests in Kolkata. The…

New Delhi: US President Donald Trump has renewed his claim that he prevented a potential military conflict between India and Pakistan earlier this year by threatening both countries with steep tariffs. Speaking at an investment forum in the United States, he said his warning of imposing a 350 per cent tariff convinced the two neighbours to step back from what he described as the brink of a nuclear confrontation. Trump said he had repeatedly used economic pressure to resolve disputes and asserted that the situation between India and Pakistan was among the most serious he had encountered. According to him,…

New Delhi: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said on Wednesday that residents of the union territory were being unfairly singled out following the November 10 explosion near Delhi’s Red Fort. He criticised what he described as a growing suspicion toward Kashmiris after investigators identified a 28-year-old doctor from Pulwama, Dr Umar Nabi, as the suspected suicide bomber in the case. Abdullah said the atmosphere had become so tense that even driving a vehicle with a J&K registration plate now felt risky. He added that he often hesitates while travelling without security personnel in the national capital, concerned that…
