India doesn’t play Pakistan in bilateral series anymore but fans now wait for them to meet in such ICC events.

The expectations of them clashing once more in the finals are immense and its not just the fans praying for this scenario to play out but the broadcasters all over the world too must be licking their lips of an IndiaPakistan World Cup final in Melbourne next Sunday!

he Men in Blue have left the ghosts of the 2021 T20 world Cup well behind them as they enter the semi-finals topping their group in the league stage. On Sunday, in front of an 80 thousand plus crowd in Melbourne Cricket Ground, India won by 71 runs against Zimbabwe and set up a semifinal clash against England on Thursday. India’s win had all the bases covered as they dominated the match in all departments of the game.

But the cherry on the cake was Suryakumar Yadav’s scintillating hitting in the last 5 overs of Indian innings.

His 61 of 25 balls not only made sure that India reached a formidable total but also reminded Indian fans about how good a middle order batsman Surya is and the one that Team India was missing over the past few years.

India’s berth in the Semis was already booked after Netherlands pulled off a stunning upset over South Africa earlier in the day. But as is rightly said, momentum is easy to lose and one must keep it going as long as possible, especially heading into the business end of a major tournament. So, it was important for India to win comfortably to stay confident before

IMRAN TAKES ON POWERFUL ARMY

The Men in Blue have left the ghosts of the 2021 T20 world Cup well behind them as they enter the semifinals topping their group in the league stage. On Sunday, in front of an 80 thousand plus crowd in Melbourne Cricket Ground, India won by 71 runs against Zimbabwe and set up a semifinal clash against England on Thursday the big clash against England.

India made only one change in their line up as Rishabh Pant was included in the eleven in place of Dinesh Karthik.

Winning the toss, Rohit Sharma chose to bat first. This was a correct decision according to most experts particularly since Rohit himself needed to find form and spend some time at the wicket.

Sadly, the Indian skipper was unable to benefit much from batting first as he was dismissed quickly once again. His terrific shot making against short pitched balls is proving to be his nemesis for the time being on the bouncy pitches of Australia and Rohit holed out pulling one straight to deep square leg scoring just 15. Kohli and

oliticians and journalists in Pakistan have to be careful not to rub the army and the ISI on the wrong side. If they do, they either end up in a mortuary or in the wilderness. Despite Pakistan’s claim of being a democracy, it has not been able to get out of the army and ISI’s shadow.

The role of ISI is alleged in the killing of a Pakistani journalist in Kenya and also the assassination attempt on former Prime Minister Imran Khan. Imran Khan alleged Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah and Major-General Faisal Naseer were part of the conspiracy to eliminate him.

Rahul then kept the score card moving, stitching a 60run partnership for the second wicket. Rahul was the aggressor between the two and he put up another classy show of his striking abilities.

His 51 off 35 balls set up the base for a big total and at the halfway stage, India was at 80 having lost just 1 wicket.

It was then that a mini collapse threatened to derail India. Rahul, Kohli and Pant all perished within a span of just 14 runs. The stage was set for a Hardik and Surya show. While Hardik played the second fiddle making 18 of 18 balls, Surya stole the limelight with his 4 sixes and 6 fours. His constant scooping of Zimbabwean bowlers over the short fine leg for

boundaries and sixers had all fans in a tizzy. His knock put India in a powerful position and gave their bowlers a strong total of 186 to defend.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been in fine form since his return from injury and has bowled many dot balls in powerplay overs. His first over was a maiden again as he picked up a wicket on his very first delivery. Kohli dived to pick up a stunning catch to dismiss Wessly Madhevere. It was total capitulation from then on by the Zimbabwe batsman. All Indian bowlers chipped in with wickets at regular intervals. After the powerplay Zimbabwe was at 27 runs having lost 3 wickets and then got reduced to 36 for 5 in the next two overs. Sikandar Raza has been the best batsman for Zimbabwe in the tournament and his 34 along with Ryan Burl’s 35 took their team to a semblance of a total before it all concluded in the 18th over as they were bowled for a paltry 115.

The Men in Blue now head to Adelaide for their semi-final meeting with England.

India’s roaring juggernaut has gained the much-needed confidence ahead of the knock-out contest. England meanwhile, struggled to win against a weak Sri Lankan team in their last league game. Both teams though were tagged as the favorites at the start of the tournament and now stand just 2 wins away from ultimate glory.

f the state assembly byelection results have any message it is that the BJP is becoming increasingly unstoppable. It has won the Gola Gokarannath seat in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana’s Adampur and Odisha’s Dhamnagar seats. The BJP also retained the Gopalganj seat. The Congress, on the other hand, has come a cropper, which is bad news for its prospects in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh.

The regional parties like Shiv Sena (Uddhav), Rashtriya Janata Dal and Telangana Rashtra Samithi denied victory to BJP in prestigious and close battles for Mumbai’s Andheri East, Bihar’s Mokama and Telangana’s Munugode seats. The Munugode win is of special interest as the BJP was desperate to grab this seat. Andheri East victory has come as a boost to Uddhav Thackeray faction’s claim of enjoying people’s support over that of Eknath Shinde faction.

Significantly, these results provide a clearer picture of Opposition unity before the 2024 parliamentary election. It is the regional parties which will pose a challenge to the BJP.

THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BY THE AUTHOR ARE PERSONAL

Shehbaz Sharif described Imran Khan as a liar “from head to toe”.

To tighten the screws on PTI, the country’s electronic media watchdog has passed a gag order on all electronic channels from broadcasting or rebroadcasting Imran Khan’s press conferences or speeches to avoid creating hatred among people. A similar gag order issued by the watchdog earlier was struck down by the Supreme Court of Pakistan. Free speech, anyone?

These are not signs of a healthy democracy which, incidentally, Pakistan has never been. For the army and ISI a strong democracy is an anathema and the two institutions prefer to keep their national and state governments’ strings in their hands.

Their metabolism and immunity slowed down in that phase. People are now working for more than 10 hours and are not able to give time to their health and fitness. So FitKutumb is coming up with a solution by providing trainers at your doorstep.”

When asked about what challenges one had to go through, he said, it was challenging at various levels. To be able to find good developers who can work on our idea with the same passion as we have was one of the biggest. Then it was also a task to look for wellcertified trainers since India still has a shortage of certified professional trainers. We were fortunate enough to come across

hardworking and sincere trainers and provided them with multiple workouts training before they could finally reach people.”

Whether the session would be available offline or online, Dushyant smilingly answered, “This app provides a platform for the patients to consult both online and offline sessions.

One can book their sessions very easily through Fitkutumb and we directly connect patients to certified physiotherapists. After discussing general things and understanding the patient’s main cause, the professional physiotherapist doctors will proceed further accordingly.”

He further added, not only patients can consult the doctor but will also be provided with proper counselling. Concluding the conversation, Dr Dushyant Khandelwal while giving a message to the younger generation said, “As we are in high tech and fast-moving generation, we need to be fit and healthy physically and mentally.

People need to work on their lifestyle and they need to manage work and health so that they grow faster in their profession and make a healthier society.”

hone Bhoot, led by Katrina Kaif, and co-starring Ishaan Khatter and Siddhant Chaturvedi, opened to an astonishingly low Rs. 2 cr nett on its first day. The film was released on around 1400 screens, which can be said to be a conservative release. The occupancy of the film was just around 10-12 per cent throughout the day.

Phone Bhoot saw a low 25 per cent growth on its second day, as it collected Rs. 2.5 cr

ansika Motwani took to her Instagram and dropped some snippets from her filmy proposal by beau Sohail Kathuria under one of the seven wonders of the world, the Eiffel Tower. The reports suggest that the couple will be getting married in December this year. The nuptials are expected to take place between December 2 to December 4. However, we still await the final wedding date announcement. As soon as she uploaded the post, congratulatory messages started pouring in for the newly engaged couple. Baahubali actress Anushka Shetty reacted to the post with, “Congratulations”, along with a heart and evil eye emoji. Additionally, Khushbu Sundar commented, “Oh wow!! Congratulations my dear.. wishing you the best.”
