Auqib Nabi claims five-wicket haul in Ranji Trophy final vs Karnataka, India call-up awaits

TMC eyes major reshuffle, new faces likely in 78 seats

Political activity in West Bengal has intensified ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections, with the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) reportedly preparing a significant reshuffle in its candidate list.

Afghanistan-Pakistan war: Airstrikes hit Pakistani military sites near PMO in Faizabad after Kabul raids

Islamabad: Afghan Taliban forces launched a bold counteroffensive against Pakistan, striking high-value military targets just six kilometers from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) in Islamabad's Faizabad area, connected to Tabassum Road, using precision airstrikes on specialized "Atomic" facilities, resulting in heavy casualties and escalating the border war to the heart of Pakistan's capital. Daring strikes near capital's core Suicide drones and air operations zeroed in on elite "Atomic" military installations in Faizabad, perilously close to the PMO, inflicting severe losses in a shocking retaliation. The assault extended to army cantonments in Nowshera, Jamrud military colony, and Abbottabad, executed successfully at…

Anil Kumble, Faf du Plessis analyse India’s biggest problem before must-win clash against West Indies

Chennai: India registered a comfortable 72-run win over Zimbabwe in Chennai to keep their T20 World Cup 2026 semi-final hopes alive. However, analysing the game, former cricketers Faf du Plessis and Anil Kumble believe there are still grey areas and concerning signs, particularly around role definition and the sixth bowling option. Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakravarthy, Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel have largely done their job. The concern begins when the attack stretches beyond them. Shivam Dube has been used in that role most often, with Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma and Rinku Singh occasionally rolling their arm over. Dube…

Vasco managed to level the score before halftime, but Neymar struck again in the second half to secure the win for Santos. After the match, Neymar addressed critics who have questioned both his form and his potential inclusion in Brazil’s upcoming men’s World Cup squad. “Last week they…

Iran urges Ramadan dialogue to defuse Pakistan-Afghanistan ‘open war’- offers full mediation support

Kabul: Amid the escalating fury of Pakistan's 'Operation Ghazab lil-Haq' airstrikes on Afghan soil, Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi extended a timely olive branch, calling on both nations to sheath their swords during the sacred month of Ramadan. In a poignant X post, Araghchi emphasized that this period of self-restraint and Islamic solidarity is ideal for resolving differences through "good neighborliness and dialogue," with Iran poised to facilitate any talks, bolster understanding, and foster cooperation between Kabul and Islamabad.

This bold operation, translating roughly to "Wrath for Justice," signals the end of Pakistan's patience after months of intermittent clashes over accusations of cross-border terrorism. Trigger of the offensive The operation kicked off in the…

ENG vs NZ pitch report: How will surface at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo play in T20 World Cup?
