Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma or MS Dhoni, who will have better IPL? Aakash Chopra analyses

New Delhi: Since the back-to-back ducks in the ODIs against Australia, Virat Kohli has staged a remarkable turnaround, re-establishing himself as one of India’s most consistent performers. However, it has been over two months since the 37-year-old has played a professional game and when there’s a long break, one tends to feel rusty. His long-term national team comrade, on the other hand, has been very active in Mumbai cricket, training regularly and has lost significant weight with the hope to continue till the ODI World Cup 2027. He has put in plenty of work in the nets but playing a…

At UN, Iran calls Minab school strike which killed 175 as ‘deliberate and intentional’ by US, Israel

United Nations: Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Friday described the February 28 strike on an elementary school in Tehran’s Minab as a "deliberate, intentional" act by the United States and Israel.

He called the attack a war crime and a crime against humanity, demanding “unequivocal condemnation by all and unambiguous accountability for the culprits."

Auqib Nabi aims to win maiden IPL title with Delhi Capitals, downplays India call-up

New Delhi: After a stunning Ranji Trophy, where Aquib Nabi finished as the leading wicket-taker, claiming 60 wickets, the 29-year-old enters the IPL with plenty of attention and maybe a bit of pressure because of the hype. He is already being linked with the India Test team, with former cricketers such as Sourav Ganguly backing him, but Nabi has already cleared the air, stating that the current goal is to do well for DC and win the coveted trophy. “The red-ball selection is not in my hands; it is a by-product of how you perform during the domestic season.

In a graceful parting statement, Singh emphasised that the decision was entirely her own and made with the best interests of her family at heart. "I…

J-K’s Ranji victory inspires new generation, redefines regional aspirations as Auqib Nabi reflects

New Delhi: Jammu and Kashmir scripted one of the most remarkable stories of the 2025–26 domestic season, clinching the Ranji Trophy after years of steady progression. Having pushed stronger sides in recent editions, the Paras Dogra-led unit finally found the composure and consistency required to go all the way, producing a string of authoritative performances. Notably, their campaign appeared in jeopardy during the semi-final against Bengal, where they were bowled out for 302 in the first innings and largely written off. What followed, however, was a display of resilience and tactical discipline, as J&K seized control with the ball in…
