Anshula Kapoor reveals little things that make her relationship with Rohan Thakkar special

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 15 (IANS) Anshula Kapoor has opened up about the little things that make her relationship with husband Rohan Thakkar special. She shared how love is often found in everyday moments rather than grand gestures. Taking to Instagram, Anshula penned a heartfelt birthday note for Rohan, reflecting on how her understanding of love has evolved over time. She said she once believed love was all about big celebrations, exciting moments and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. However, being with Rohan has taught her to appreciate the beauty of ordinary moments. Sharing some of the little things that make their bond special, Anshula mentioned forehead kisses before he leaves home, sleepy good mornings and good nights, and their conversations before falling asleep. She also spoke about how they remember each other's preferences, from Rohan's favourite Domino's order to the way she likes her eggs. Sharing her romantic photos, Anshula wrote, I used to think love was all about the big things. That it always had to be loud. The big celebrations, the laughing so hard your stomach hurts, the butterflies, the once-in-a-lifetime moments that you wish you could bottle up and keep forever. And sometimes it absolutely is. But loving Ro, and being loved by him, has taught me that love lives in the wonderfully ordinary things too. Its the forehead kiss before he leaves home. The sleepy good mornings and good nights. The random conversations before we fall asleep. Its knowing his go-to Dominos order, and him knowing exactly how I like my eggs. Anshula further revealed how Rohan makes her laugh even on difficult days and takes care of small things, such as lowering the volume of his phone and the brightness of the television to avoid triggering her migraines. She also shared that he uses the spare bathroom when he returns home late because he knows she is a light sleeper. Its how he can make me laugh on a day when nothing feels particularly funny. How he instinctively lowers the volume on his phone and the brightness of the TV so it doesnt trigger my migraine. How he uses the spare bathroom when he comes home late because he knows Im a light sleeper, she added. The note further read, Its sitting in the same room, both scrolling on our phones, perfectly content just being around each other. Its the grocery store runs that somehow become fun because were doing them together. Its having someone to share the smallest, most insignificant detail of your day with, knowing theyll want to hear it. Its realising that you dont need every day to be exciting for life to feel extraordinary. And I think thats my favourite thing about loving you, Ro. with you, love isnt just in the extraordinary moments. Its woven into the most ordinary parts of our days. The parts nobody sees, that we dont take pictures of, that well probably never remember individually, but that somehow make up this beautiful life were building together. Concluding her birthday wish, Anshula called Rohan her favourite person to do absolutely everything and absolutely nothing with. She also expressed hope for a lifetime filled with extraordinary adventures and wonderfully ordinary Tuesdays. Happy birthday to my favourite person to do absolutely everything and absolutely nothing with. Heres to a lifetime of extraordinary adventures and wonderfully ordinary Tuesdays. I love you @rohanthakkar1511. Anshula Kapoor, daughter of filmmaker Boney Kapoor and the late Mona Shourie Kapoor, has often shared glimpses of her personal life on social media. Anshula married her longtime partner, screenwriter and director Rohan Thakkar, on July 6, 2026.

Warner Stands Firm On Sandpapergate Cover-up Claim, Questions Why CA Withheld Evidence

David Warner: Former opener David Warner has refused to retreat from his claim that Cricket Australias investigation into the 2018 ball-tampering scandal was a cover-up and has now asked why players were never handed all the evidence at the time. Just to clarify, as far as I am aware, was the POINT. I was never told the bowlers had been interviewed or provided statements. That information would have been pretty useful when I was forced to make decisions back in 2018. Why werent we given all the evidence by CA? wrote Warner on his Instagram account on Sunday. The controversy around the Sandpapergate in Cape Town has been building since Usman Khawajas autobiography, Sabr, was released earlier this week. Khawaja has alleged that the whole Test squad knew about the sandpaper plan, and Warner has publicly sided with his childhood friend. On Friday, Australia captain Pat Cummins addressed a press conference for 68 minutes and described Khawajas allegations as nonsense and 100 percent wrong. Warner, who was part of the Fox Sports commentary team for the first ODI against England in Perth, reacted sharply against the comments made by Cummins. Pat Cummins was very well prepared this morning. I still stick by Uzzy and what hes written in that book. Its the truth, and I really support him. I actually feel for him at the moment. I actually feel that the captain today actually threw Uzzy under the bus, and Im very, very disappointed about that. Warner and Steve Smith, who was captain at the time, were each suspended for 12 months over the ball-tampering episode, while Cameron Bancroft received a nine-month ban. Cricket Australia chief executive Todd Greenberg said on Saturday to SEN radio, that the board has no plans to reopen the inquiry. We dont see any compelling reason to open the investigation or revisit this again. I dont think theres anything that can be gained from that. We have said were comfortable with the outcome of the investigation based on the information weve received. That includes what weve seen from Usman [Khawaja], and our position hasnt changed on that. Theres absolutely no benefit in going back, thats the clear position of the CA board. I think its fine, weve got to look ahead, and the matter was dealt with under a previous leadership back in 2018.

Portugal pay special tribute to Ronaldo; players wear special No. 7 jersey in Nations League game

Digital Desk | Braga, Nov 15 (IANS) The Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) staged a special tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo before and during the UEFA Nationas League match between Portugal and Denmark at the Braga Municipal Stadium. Earlier this month, Ronaldo announced his Portugal retirement, ending one of the greatest international careers in football history. The 41-year-old won 234 senior caps for his country and scored an astonishing 146 goals. Both totals are world records in the men's game. The initiative involved players and fans in four distinct moments, celebrating the career, leadership, and legacy of an indispensable figure in the history of the National Team. The tribute began outside the Braga Municipal Stadium, where fans were invited to leave a message of thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo. One of the highlights was the teams' entrance onto the field, with the starting eleven players and their young companions wearing shirts specially designed to mark the occasion. The footballers' kits included the number 7 dedicated to Ronaldo, reinforcing the symbolic nature of the tribute. FPF has decided that, starting with the game against Denmark, corresponding to the 5th round of the Nations League, the number 7 jersey of the National Team, which belonged to Ronaldo, will have a different graphic design, with a different number 7 as well. This is yet another way to immortalise the meaning of such a special number and honour the legacy it represents, it said in a statement. From today onwards, we will have a different number 7 on the jersey, but with the same essence and the same pride, reserving the previous one for the immortalisation of a story that will never be forgotten. In the stands, fans were displaying the word 'Ronaldo' in the top tier of one of the stands and the letters 'GOAT' (Greatest Of All Time) on the bottom tier. They had cardboard cutouts placed in their respective seats, which, when raised simultaneously, formed a mosaic, complemented by the display of a giant banner with the message Thank you, Captain!. The celebration continued in the 7th minute, when the same message appeared simultaneously on the giant screens and on the stadium's platform, accompanied by a great round of applause from all the fans. The Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) also gave a voice to fans on the national teams' social media. Throughout the match, messages of support and gratitude to Ronaldo, shared by Portuguese fans via Instagram, were displayed on the stadium's stands. This action was only interrupted in the 7th minute to make way for the message dedicated to the captain. Ronaldo scored at six FIFA World Cup tournaments, another unmatched tally. He was on target at Germany 2006 as a 21-year-old and was still delivering on the greatest stage of all in 2026. The superstar No. 7 bagged three goals at the finals in North America, bringing his haul of World Cup goals to 11.

Climate Action Group aghast over axing of 100-year-old sweet chestnut trees in Kashmir University campus

Srinagar, Nov 14: Several sweet chestnut trees (Castanea sativa) have been axed around the History Department of the University of Kashmir by the university administration under the garb of pruning, says the chairman of the J&K Climate Action Group (JKCAG). The sweet chestnut trees are heritage trees which were planted during the period of Maharaja Hari Singh sahib across several places of Kashmir, which includes present-day University of Kashmir. These trees are an endangered variety brought to Kashmir by a friend of Maharaja Hari Singh sahib, Mr Mohammad Rehman Affindi, who was his friend and classmate at Oxford University 100 years back, said Dr Raja Muzaffar. The University of Kashmir, while refuting the social media posts, said that it had undertaken pruning of the trees as they posed a threat to the Economic Department building. Social media users refuted this in their comments and said it was simply an act of axing these heritage trees. Cutting down these trees is a serious issue. With our intervention we stopped the axing of other chestnut trees, but unfortunately, the University of Kashmir calls it pruning, even though all the huge branches of two chestnut trees near the History Department have been cut down, he added. We seek personal intervention of authorities and also Dr Karan Singh sahib, whose father Maharaja Hari Singh had ordered the plantation of these trees. In 2020, around 50 such trees were axed in New Theed Harwan area for construction of a power grid station, reads the JKCAG statement. Reacting to Raja Muzaffar Bhats post on Instagram, Vikramadayta Singh, former MLC and grandson of Maharaja Hari Singh, expressed his anguish over the issue. This is unacceptable. People responsible for this should be taken to task, he wrote.

Police find credible bomb threat at Illinois plant and urge evacuations

Police in Peoria, Illinois, are investigating a credible bomb threat at a local plant and are urging anyone who lives or works within a one-mile radius of the facility to evacuate immediately. The Peoria Police Department said the evacuation recommendation was issued as a precaution while officers and emergency personnel investigated the threat at BioUrja Renewables. Police determined at about 6:45 p.m. local time Friday that a package at the facility was a credible threat and established a one-mile blast radius, officials said. 25News - PHOTO: Peoria Police Chief Brad Dixon speaks at a press conference on Nov. 14, 2026, in Peoria, Ill. Bomb technicians rendered the package safe at about 9:12 p.m. local time, according to police. However, authorities said a thorough search of the large facility was expected to continue into Saturday, likely until late afternoon. Officials said they were not treating the incident as a hoax. When a bomb threat comes in, typically, it's not legitimate, and they're doing it to cause an evacuation of a building or something like that, Peoria Police Chief Brad Dixon said at a press conference late Friday. This is not the case here. We found a credible package that we deem to be a threat. This is ... this is not. We're not considering this a hoax. Authorities have closed most streets in the area and are urging the public to avoid the one-mile radius around the facility until further notice. Residents and businesses within the designated area are being asked to cooperate with emergency personnel and stay away from the area until further notice. 25News - PHOTO: Law enforcement vehicles are shown at the scene after a bomb was found at an ethanol plant in Peoria, Ill., on Nov. 13, 2026. I am actively monitoring the bomb threat in Peoria, and I have directed the Illinois State Police to coordinate with local authorities, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said in a statement on social media. Please follow directions from law enforcement and stay clear of the area. Country music singer Jon Pardi's concert in Peoria was also canceled because of its proximity to the bomb threat. Pardi posted a message to his 1 million Instagram followers Friday night, saying, Peoria, we're disappointed that we won't get to spend tonight with you, but the safety of our fans, our team and the community is always the priority. At the discretion of the Chief of Police, tonight's concert has been canceled due to an active local safety concern. Thank you for your understanding, and stay safe.

India says it will honour Scotch duty cuts under the UK trade deal Dozens of containers of bulk Scotch held at Indian ports Customs investigators sought 150 per cent duty instead of the agreed 75 per cent Scotch exports to India worth about 250 million in 2024 INDIA will honour the duty concessions on Scotch whisky offered as part of its trade deal with Britain, Indian Trade Secretary Rajesh Agrawal said on Friday. He said Indias finance ministry had engaged with stakeholders on the issue of bulk Scotch imports from Britain. Why Johnnie Walkers most famous label now tastes of India? His comments come amid a dispute over dozens of containers of bulk Scotch held at Indian ports. Customs investigators have sought a 150 per cent import duty, despite the trade deal providing for a reduced rate of 75 per cent. The row has raised concerns over the implementation of the India-UK trade deal, which came into force in July. India moves to end Scotch whisky tariff row under UK trade deal Bulk Scotch is a crucial part of the business in India because it is blended with other spirits to make Indian-Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL), which includes many popular whisky brands. Scotch exports to India were worth $335 million (about 250 million) in 2024, and the Scotch Whisky Association has forecast the deal could add $1.34 billion (about 1 billion) over five years.

AICWA's appeal to Bollywood: Give Sharad Kapoor the work he deserves

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 14 (IANS) After a recent video of 'Josh' actor Sharad Kapoor moved everyone, AICWA has made a heartfelt appeal to Bollywood and Indian cinema to give him the work he deserves. Suresh Shyamla Gupta (President of All Indian Cine Workers Association) shared a video urging the big filmmakers and celebrities to give Sharad work and support. Shedding light on the unpredictable nature of the business, he added in the clip, He is only 50 years old. Today he needs us. And a black truth is that you will get one job in the industry today and another job after 10 days or after 1 year or after 2 years or not. This is the biggest black truth. There is no guarantee of work, nor is there a guarantee of life for the safety of the industry. That's why everyone should support Sharad Kapoor. Because today he really needs us, and you must have seen this situation in the industry many times. Many times, actors and workers are coming forward because the industry is in a very bad situation. There is very little work, and their future is also in great danger because how long will they get work? At what age will they get work? There is always a big question. That's why we should help Sharad Kapoor. This is what is going on in our industry today. So today we have to stand with him, Suresh went on to add. Recently, a video of Sharad handing over his beloved dogs to an NGO for care because his health is not keeping well surfaced on social media. After the video went viral, actor Jaya Bhattacharya visited Sharad, and she also shared a video on her Instagram in which he appealed to CINTAA for some good work. I want to appeal to CINTAA that I am looking for good work. And I need your support, and I know you have always supported people around you. A little bit of moral support is also enough for me. I am a great actor and you know that. Money is not the issue. The only issue is I am just looking forward to start work again, Sharad said in the video.

Different Ground, Same Business: Suryakumar Celebrates Mumbais Winning SMAT Start

Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy Elite: Mumbai captain Suryakumar Yadav summed up his sides emphatic start to the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy Elite 2026 campaign with a confident social media post after returning to competitive cricket with a match-winning performance against Hyderabad. Different ground, same business. Good start to SMAT with the boys. Onwards and upwards!, Suryakumar wrote on Instagram, sharing pictures from the outing after Mumbai registered a seven-wicket victory in their Group D encounter at the Jadavpur University Campus 2nd Ground in Kolkata on Saturday. The 36-year-old marked his return to top-flight cricket with an explosive unbeaten 60 off just 21 deliveries, helping Mumbai overhaul Hyderabads 172-run total in only 13.1 overs. His innings featured five sixes and six fours, with the right-hander bringing up his half-century in just 15 balls. Suryakumars knock came after a productive opening stand between Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who scored 27 off 13 balls, and Hardik Tamore, who contributed 22 off 16. However, it was the Mumbai skippers arrival that completely shifted the momentum of the chase. He found an equally aggressive partner in Musheer Khan, who struck 51 off 24 deliveries. The duo took the attack to Hyderabads bowlers, with Suryakumar collecting 22 runs off Ved Reddy in the ninth over, before the pair added further pressure by taking 24 runs off Pranav Varma in the next over. Musheer departed in the 12th over, but Suryakumar continued his assault before Shivam Dube joined him, bringing the chase to a swift conclusion. Dube finished the contest with a six, leaving Mumbai comfortably ahead with 41 balls to spare. The outing was particularly significant for Suryakumar, who was named Mumbai captain for the domestic T20 tournament earlier this month. He had last featured in an official T20 match for Mumbai Indians during the IPL in May, before turning out in the Mumbai T20 League in June. Mumbais commanding win offered an encouraging start to their campaign, with Suryakumars form providing an early talking point as the tournament progresses.

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi's office summoned the telecommunications secretary on Saturday to explain how officials ordered the takedown of more than 100 websites based on court orders that Reuters revealed were fake, two government sources said.The intervention from Modi's office signals intensifying scrutiny after Reuters revealed on Wednesday that telecom officials directed internet providers to block 129 illegal betting websites based on fake High Court orders which were emailed to officials by people posing as lawyers.Also read | TRAI crackdown on spam: Over 1.24 lakh mobile connections barred or disconnected in Jul-SepWhile online betting is illegal in India, the case has raised concerns that a lack of safeguards in India's content-takedown system could allow falsified court documents to be used to block legitimate websites.The findings have triggered one criminal investigation by state police against unknown persons for forgery and cheating.Modi's office summoned Telecom Secretary Amit Agrawal to appear and explain the lapse, cutting short Agrawal's trip to another state, said the two government officials with knowledge of the matter.Agrawal is the most senior bureaucrat in the telecommunications ministry, which oversees everyone from big telecom operators to internet providers.The action taken by the Department of Telecommunications against betting accounts was carried out through the relevant field officers, said one of the people.Also read | Vi seeks DoT nod to retain expiring 4G spectrumAgrawal and his ministry did not respond to Reuters queries, and neither did Modi's office.Court precedents generated using AI have caused concerns among judges the world over. India's Supreme Court in July set aside a tribunal's orders that relied on non-existent judgments, and a US judge recently disqualified lawyers over use of fabricated legal citations.On Friday, Reuters reported that the telecoms ministry had initiated an internal investigation into the alleged fraud, while police have sought ministry records as part of a criminal investigation.The two state court orders Reuters revealed were fake, based on comments from police and the court registry, contained fabricated court logos and seals, as well as a fake QR code.They were for months available publicly on the Department of Telecommunications' website, along with correspondence that showed government officials ordering internet providers to remove the websites.On Saturday, one of the fake court orders was still accessible on the government's website, while one had been removed.

5th ODI: India Eye Winning Finish As New Zealand Seek To Level Series (Preview)

Sony Sports Network: India will look to put their crushing defeat in the fourth ODI behind them and finish the five-match series on a winning note when they take on New Zealand in the final match at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Sunday. While India have already ensured they cannot lose the series, the hosts will be eager to build on their emphatic comeback and force a 2-2 draw. The contest has acquired a different complexion after New Zealands 244-run victory on Friday. Having struggled to make an impact in the opening two matches, the hosts delivered a commanding performance, first posting 333 and then bowling India out for just 89. Will Youngs career-best 125 provided the foundation with the bat before Matt Henry dismantled the Indian top order with a match-winning haul of 6/27. Henrys opening-over burst, which accounted for Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer, exposed Indias vulnerability against movement and disciplined fast bowling. The visitors will need a far more assured response at the top if they are to avoid another difficult outing, particularly with the conditions at Bay Oval offering the seamers an opportunity to make an early impression. Indias batting combination will remain under scrutiny following the absence of Shubman Gill and KL Rahul, who have moved on to prepare for the upcoming Test assignment. Shreyas Iyer, leading the side in the final two ODIs, will be keen to bring greater stability to the batting order after a disappointing outing in the previous game. Rohit and Kohli remain central to Indias plans, while Ishan Kishan, Ruturaj Gaikwad and the other middle-order options will be looking to make their opportunities count. The visitors, however, have reasons to be confident in their earlier performances. They won the opening ODI in Auckland and edged the second encounter in Wellington, with their bowling attack repeatedly finding ways to put the New Zealand batting line-up under pressure. Gurnoor Brar, who claimed four wickets in the second match, has been among Indias notable performers in the series. New Zealand, meanwhile, will hope Fridays performance marks a turning point rather than an isolated success. The departure of experienced batters Tom Latham, Daryl Mitchell, Henry Nicholls and Glenn Phillips for Test preparations has left the hosts with a reshaped line-up. Youngs century and Tim Seiferts attacking 58 in the fourth ODI offered encouraging signs, while Henrys return to the attack has provided a major boost to their pace resources. Playing at the same venue for a second time in three days could also give both teams a useful reference point while assessing the surface and bowling conditions. New Zealands quicks exploited the conditions superbly on Friday, and India will have to be prepared for another challenging start if the hosts manage to generate similar movement with the new ball. With the series outcome already beyond New Zealands reach, the final ODI is an opportunity for the hosts to deny India a series victory and carry momentum into the upcoming Test assignment. For Iyers side, the priority will be a convincing all-round response and a finish that reflects the promise they showed earlier in the tour. When: November 15, Sunday, 7:30 AM IST Where: Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui Where to watch: The match will be shown live on the Sony Sports Network channels on TV, and live streaming is available on the Sony LIV app and website. Squads: New Zealand: Mitchell Santner (c), Finn Allen, Michael Bracewell, Kristian Clarke, Josh Clarkson, Jacob Duffy, Matt Fisher, Dean Foxcroft, Mitch Hay (wk), Nick Kelly, Brett Randell, Tim Seifert (wk), Blair Tickner, Will Young India: Shreyas Iyer (c), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Tilak Varma, Ishan Kishan (vc, wk), Axar Patel, Naman Dhir, Auqib Nabi, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Arshdeep Singh, Kumar Kushagra (wk), Mohammed Siraj, Yash Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

David Warner Accuses Cricket Australia Of 'Cover-Up' Over 'Sandpapergate'

David Warner blasted Cricket Australia's handling of the 2018 ball-tampering scandal as a cover-up on Saturday, escalating a row that has torn apart the sport. Former opener Warner, who was banned for a year over his part in the Sandpapergate incident in Cape Town, lashed out at what he claimed was a shoddy investigation. As far as I am aware, CA did not interview Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc or Nathan Lyon in their 2018 investigation, he said on Instagram. If that's correct then how can CA push the idea that the bowlers didn't know? It looks like they had decided who they wanted to blame from the very beginning, ran a shoddy investigation to serve the purpose and now they want to maintain the false narrative that the bowlers had no idea. That stinks of a cover-up. Festering wounds over what happened in the third Test at Cape Town were re-opened this week when Usman Khawaja released his autobiography. In the book, he alleged that the whole team knew about the plot to rough up the ball with sandpaper to make it swing. A Cricket Australia probe concluded only then-skipper Steve Smith, his deputy Warner and Cameron Bancroft were in the know, with all three sent home from South Africa in disgrace. Starc, Hazlewood, Lyon and Pat Cummins all denied publicly in a 2021 statement that they were aware of the plan. On Friday, Cummins, now the Test captain, held a lengthy press conference to rubbish Khawaja's latest claims, calling them 100 percent wrong. In response, Warner accused him of throwing close friend Khawaja under the bus. Starc also stated during the week that we weren't aware of things being taken on the field. Hazlewood and Lyon have yet to comment. Cricket Australia has ruled out reopening their investigation and in a statement on Saturday said all players had been given the chance to come forward. As we have stated previously, all players were given the opportunity to speak at the time of the initial investigation and have had the ability to come forward with new evidence in the eight years since, a spokesperson said. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Subsequently, CA has respected every player and former players' right to provide their own version of events.

Emile Hirsch recalls working with Wild Man with heart of gold Heath Ledger on 'Lords of Dogtown'

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 14 (IANS) Actor Emile Hirsch has paid a heartfelt tribute to late actor Heath Ledger, recalling his larger-than-life personality, artistic approach to acting and the unforgettable memories they shared while filming Lords of Dogtown. Describing Ledger as a fearless performer with a sensitive side and a hilarious sense of humour on Instagram, Hirsch remembered how the actor effortlessly made everyone around him feel special, adding that working with him was perhaps the most fun he had ever had on a film set. Hirsch wrote in the caption section: Heath Ledger was the man. There's just no other way to describe him- when us young actors playing the Z Boys met him- the awe was instantaneous. The dude had insane b***s- he wasn't afraid of anything it seemed- but also was this super sensitive artist with a hilarious sense of humor. And when he talked about people, you could tell he really cared. He said Ledger was a great example of his character. Hirsch recalled an incident: One day our makeup woman tripped in the lunch tent and went down to the floor- before I could even blink, Heath was down on the ground, helping her up and making sure she was okay. During the shoot, one weekend Heath had a party- it was at his really dope house in Los Feliz. He added: We all went to what I'm sure for us was the coolest party we had been to in our lives- Heath as the wildman host- so much so that we missed skate practice the next morning. We showed up late, and we all had to pay the price as we got dragged by everyone. Heath just laughed afterwards. Hirsch went on to share more: His trailer was always a party scene: he'd set up beach chairs and like tiki torches and a cooler and speakers blasting music- not exactly a tortured method actor like people would later try and peg him as. Heath had a very artistic- almost scientific- way of looking at acting, it seemed to me- I remember reading him saying how acting was like playing with a boombox- you're just adjusting the dials until you get the music you like. He'd not be afraid to watch playback, analyzing what he was doing in real time and making adjustments to it. Some of our rehearsals included: us just going to Venice Beach and Surfing and then skating in the parking lot. Oh yeah, and chilling and blasting music. And eating burgers. Yeah, that was probably the most fun movie to make- maybe ever? To Heath- we miss you Mate!

Brar Added To Indias Test Squad For NZ Series, Kuldeep Yadav Released

Pacer Gurnoor Brar: Pacer Gurnoor Brar has been added to Indias squad for the forthcoming two-match Test series against New Zealand and subsequently released from the ODI squad ahead of the last and final game of the five-match series, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said on Saturday. Moreover, spinner Kuldeep Yadav will link up with his domestic side, Uttar Pradesh, and play in the upcoming tournaments. The Mens Selection Committee has added Gurnoor Brar to the Indian squad for the two-match Test series against New Zealand, starting November 19, 2026 in Wellington. Kuldeep Yadav will be released from the Test squad in order to play the ongoing domestic cricket back in India. Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant - the wicketkeeper-batter - has joined the members of the Test squad in Wellington. Gurnoor will now link-up with the members of the Test squad and will not be available for the fifth ODI. There will be no replacement for the final ODI, the BCCI said in a statement on Saturday. The Men in Blue had a dreadful outing in the fourth ODI on Friday upon the exit of senior players Shubman Gill and KL Rahul, who left the side to join the red-ball squads after the third game of the 50-game series. The Kiwis made the best use of the conditions, with Matt Henry shining with a six-wicket haul as the Indian batting unit collapsed to a mere 89 while chasing a target of 334, eventually suffering a 244-run loss, the second-biggest defeat margin for India in ODIs. After the ODI series concludes on Sunday, the two sides will lock horns in two Tests, starting on Thursday at Basin Reserve in Wellington. Indias updated Test squad: Shubman Gill (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul (vice-captain), Devdutt Padikkal, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Anshul Kamboj, Jasprit Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Sai Sudharsan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Mohammed Siraj, Gurnoor Brar Indias updated ODI squad for the fifth ODI: Shreyas Iyer (captain), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Tilak Varma, Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper, vice-captain), Axar Patel, Naman Dhir, Auqib Nabi, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Arshdeep Singh, Kumar Kushagra (wicketkeeper), Mohammed Siraj, Yash Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

FIR against Kangana Ranaut in Shimla over social media posts on Gandhi family

Digital Desk | Shimla, Nov 14 (IANS) The Himachal Pradesh Police registered an FIR against BJP MP Kangana Ranaut in Shimla over her social media posts targeting the Gandhi family, following a complaint alleging that her remarks were inflammatory and had the potential to disturb public peace. The case was registered on Friday, November 13, on the basis of a complaint filed by retired Captain Atul Sharma, a resident of Shimla. The FIR has been lodged under Sections 196(1)(b), 353(2) and 356(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). In his complaint, Sharma stated that Ranaut had shared a series of posts through her verified social media account on November 10, containing what he described as highly inflammatory insinuations regarding the deaths of late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and her sons, Sanjay Gandhi and former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. The complainant also objected to references made to Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP) Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, who was allegedly described in the posts as a mysterious foreign national. According to Sharma, the posts insinuated that Sonia Gandhi had entered the Gandhi family before members of the ruling family were killed one after another, eventually paving the way for her to take 'charge' of the government. The posts allegedly accompanied this narrative with the remark, How convenient. The complaint further cited Ranaut's claim regarding the events following the death of Sanjay Gandhi, alleging that his wife, Maneka Gandhi, was hrown out of the family residence. Sharma contended that the social media posts went beyond the scope of political criticism and represented a calculated attempt to circulate inflammatory narratives. He stated that such content could trigger public hostility, disrupt peace and encourage enmity between different groups. The complainant also stated that the posts contained misleading information. Following the registration of the FIR, the Himachal Pradesh Police has initiated an investigation into the allegations levelled against the BJP MP. The claims made in the complaint are being examined as part of the ongoing probe. This came as Ranaut, earlier this week, questioned the timing of Sonia Gandhi acquiring Indian citizenship, pointing to her marriage and her decision to become an Indian citizen in 1983. She made a series of accusations against Sonia Gandhi. In an Instagram Story, she questioned the political rise of 'mysterious foreign national' Sonia Gandhi.

Already decided who to blame: Warner accuses CA of pushing false narrative over Sandpapergate

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 14 (IANS) Former Australia opener David Warner has accused Cricket Australia (CA) of conducting a flawed investigation into the 2018 ball-tampering scandal, questioning why senior fast bowlers Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon were allegedly not interviewed during the inquiry. Usman Khawaja sparked major controversy with the release of his autobiography, Sabr, which reopened the 2018 South Africa ball-tampering scandal. He said knowledge of the ball-tampering plan went far beyond the three sanctioned players (Steve Smith, David Warner, and Cameron Bancroft), claiming it involved everyone in the dressing room. In an Instagram post on Saturday, Warner challenged the governing bodys assertion that the bowlers had no prior knowledge of the plot, arguing that the investigations approach raised questions about how responsibility was assigned in the aftermath of the Cape Town Test. Warner, who was handed a 12-month suspension alongside Steve Smith following the scandal in South Africa, took issue with the suggestion that the frontline bowlers were unaware of the plan to alter the ball's condition. He questioned the basis on which Cricket Australia arrived at that conclusion, pointing to the absence of interviews with three senior members of the bowling group. As far as I am aware, CA did not interview Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc or Nathan Lyon in their 2018 investigation. If thats correct, then how can CA push the idea that the bowlers didnt know? It looks like they had decided who they wanted to blame from the very beginning, ran a shoddy investigation to serve the purpose and now they want to maintain the false narrative that the bowlers had no idea. That stinks of a cover up, Warner wrote in an Instagram post. Earlier on Friday, Australian red-ball skipper Pat Cummins held a fiery 68-minute press conference, calling Khawaja's claims complete and utter nonsense and 100% wrong about players knowing about sandpaper on the field. He also strongly pushed back against Khawajas race-based captaincy claim, saying it was a serious allegation that required evidence, and adding that Khawaja had been casual and flippant with people's lives and reputations. While commentating during the first ODI between Australia and England on Friday, Warner backed Khawaja's version of events as 100 per cent accurate and accused Cummins of throwing Khawaja under the bus.

Digital Desk | Washington, Nov 14 (IANS) US Secretary of State Marco Rubio invoked America's history of expansion in a defence of national sovereignty, arguing that the country's founding principles reflected an ambition to grow beyond its borders rather than retreat from the world. In his address to the Federalist Society's National Lawyers Convention on Friday (local time), Rubio presented expansion and national ambition as defining elements of American history and criticised what he described as constraints imposed by international institutions. America has always been a nation of irrepressible ambition -- ambition which, since the very beginning, extended far beyond our borders, he said. Low ceilings and small horizons were never our destiny. Rubio linked that argument to his criticism of international judges and bureaucracies, saying that accepting their vision would conflict with his understanding of the country's character. The history of our nation and our people brims with a hunger to expand, to grow, to explore and conquer, to stake a claim to new frontiers, he said. He did not identify a new territorial objective or announce an expansion policy in the excerpts. Rubio cited the American Revolution and Alexander Hamilton's opening Federalist essay in support of his interpretation. He argued that anger over British restrictions on westward expansion had helped drive the revolution, pointing to a grievance in the Declaration of Independence. He also invoked Hamilton's description of the stakes in the debate over ratifying the Constitution as including he fate of an empire, in many respects the most interesting in the world. We are not a passive, inward-looking people, Rubio said in the excerpts. To submit to the sterile vision of radical judges or soulless global bureaucrats would be to betray ourselves. He argued that American laws, constitutional arrangements and political traditions had developed because of the country's ambition to become greater and stronger, not despite it. Rubio also accused a global elite of using international law to advance its own interests while invoking universal principles. He said its commitment to democracy weakened when election results challenged those interests. He criticised the International Criminal Court, saying Americans had not agreed to submit to its authority. The United States is not a party to the courts founding treaty, though the court can exercise jurisdiction in certain circumstances involving non-member states. Hamilton's Federalist No. 1 discusses the proposed US Constitution, the survival of the Union and the welfare of its constituent states. Its opening paragraph contains the reference to the fate of an empire cited by Rubio, in the context of the constitutional ratification debate. The Declaration of Independence includes a grievance about British restrictions on migration and new appropriations of land. According to the National Archives, a 1763 royal proclamation restricting colonial settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains heightened hostility toward the Crown.

HC bars Bank from recovering loan instalments from retired employees pension

Srinagar, Nov 13:The High Court of J&K and Ladakh has restrained Jammu and Kashmir Bank from recovering loan dues from the pension account of a retired government employee, observing that the official, as guarantor, could not be subjected to coercive recovery measures. A bench of Justice Moksha Khajuria Kazmi, while setting aside a trial courts order declining interim relief against deductions from pension account of retired police personnel, observed that merely because the former employee had stood guarantor for a borrower could not be forced for such recovery. NA Kuchay had approached the Court with an appeal assailing the order dated November 2, 2020 passed by 3rd Additional District Judge, Srinagar (trial court) whereby his application for grant of interim relief had been dismissed. He alleged that the bank was deducting loan instalments from his pension account after the principal borrower failed to repay the loan. The pension, he said, was his sole source of livelihood and that the bank had initially assured him that no further deductions would be made after he brought his retirement to its notice. However, the deductions by the Bank continued, compelling him to approach the civil court seeking recovery of money and an injunction against further deductions, he alleged in his plea. Opposing the plea, the Bank in its counter argument said that Kuchay as a guarantor was jointly and severally liable with the borrower for repayment of the loan under the law governing contracts of guarantee and banking transactions. While the court noted that the trial courts refusal to grant interim relief was not based on sound reasoning and the true spirit of law, it however clarified that the bank was not precluded from recovering its dues from the principal borrower through legally permissible means. The Court observed that in keeping with the Supreme Court judgment the pension and other retiral benefits were protected against attachment and coercive recovery measures. In support of its decision, the court also referred to J&K High Courts earlier verdicts which had affirmed the protection available to pensions received by retired government employees. The bench observed that pension was a welfare measure intended to ensure financial security for retired employees and protect them and their families from dependence, vagrancy and destitution in old age. The court held that such a benefit could not be subjected to coercive recovery measures merely because a borrower, for whom the retired employee had stood as guarantor during his active service, had defaulted on repayment. Allowing the appeal, the Court restrained the Bank from recovering any amount from Kuchays pension account. However, the bench left the matter to be adjudicated by the trial court on the basis of evidence, granting Kuchy liberty to pursue the relief regarding the recovery of the deducted amount before the court. The bench directed the trial court to decide the matter independently on its merits.

Handwara gets MRI facility, water schemes worth Rs 9 crore

Srinagar, Nov 13: Member of Parliament and National Conference Additional General Secretary Chowdry Mohammad Ramzan has expressed gratitude to Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and his government for installing an MRI machine at Government Medical College (GMC), Handwara, saying the facility would improve access to advanced diagnostic services in the area. During his three-day visit to different areas of Handwara constituency, Ramzan said the installation of the MRI machine fulfilled a commitment made to strengthen healthcare facilities in the region. He said he had earlier taken up the matter with the Union Health Minister and the government, highlighting the need for the diagnostic facility. Its installation would provide considerable relief to patients, who would no longer need to travel outside the area for MRI scans, he added. Ramzan also thanked the government for augmenting three major water supply schemes worth Rs 9 crore in Rajwar and Ramhall areas. The schemes include Nagradi-Krumhoora-Kahipora, Kenyal (Lilam-Hurdoona) and Sarmarg-Check Sarmarg, each costing Rs 3 crore. He said the schemes were particularly important for water-scarce areas, where residents had been facing difficulties in accessing adequate drinking water. Their augmentation would improve availability and ensure a more reliable supply to households, he added. He said he had earlier taken up the matter with the Jal Shakti Minister, seeking augmentation of the schemes. During the visit, Ramzan also informed people that funds under his Members of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS) had been released for various works, including installation of solar streetlights, borewells, road connectivity, improvement of pathways, electricity infrastructure, hospital equipment, protection walls and culverts. He said funds had also been allocated for block-level development works and assistance under the disability fund.

Sharad Kapoor says he suffered injury while playing football in Barcelona

Digital Desk | Los Angeles, Nov 14 (IANS) Actor Sharad Kapoor, whose videos about him sending his furry friends to an animal welfare centre, has shared that he suffered an injury while playing football in Barcelona. On Friday, the animal welfare NGO took to their Instagram, and shared another video of the actor talking to the camera, and sharing the details behind his compulsion to send his dogs to the NGO. In the video, he said, I am a little sad today because my 4 children have been sent to a good place. But I want to appeal to the center that I am just looking for good work. And I need your support and I know that you have always supported people around you. So I will be very very thankful to you if you can support me. A little bit of moral support is also enough for me. I am a brilliant actor and you know that. For a fact. Money is not the issue. The issue is only that I was just looking forward to starting work again. Maybe from January I am going to start work again. When asked about his health, the actor said, I went to play football in Barcelona like a fool. There were big players in the team. I thought I was also an intense player. Suddenly I started thinking of myself as Messi. This one guy, his foot touched mine during the game. As soon as his foot touched mine, I understood that its gonna be a solid injury. He also spoke about getting back on the tracks in January. It's a great platform for everybody. In today's time, there are more than 140 crore people in India. And it is worldwide. Netflix caters to at least 5 to 7 billion people. So it's a big opportunity. So if I get an opportunity to work in OTT, I will be so happy. And I will be so thankful to them. May God bless everybody. Jai Hind, he added. Earlier, the netizens expressed their concerns over the actor as he appeared in a bad shape. One user wrote, Shocked to see him like this.... God Bless you sir. Another user said, There is no shame or hesitation to ask for work. More power to you. However, the actors clarification put the concerns to rest.

'That love never dies': Michael Carrick pens emotional farewell to Manchester United fans

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 13 (IANS) Former Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick has penned an emotional farewell message to the club's supporters, expressing gratitude for their unwavering backing despite his departure following a disappointing start to the 2026-27 Premier League season. Carrick, who was relieved of his duties after United's poor run of results, shared a lengthy message on Instagram, reflecting on his time at Old Trafford, thanking the supporters, coaching staff, club employees and players while reaffirming his affection for the club. Describing his time as United manager as an immense privilege, the former England midfielder said leading the club he loves was a responsibility he would always cherish. I've had the immense privilege of leading Manchester United, the football club that I love. There are very few who get to live that and feel it, and for that I'm incredibly grateful, Carrick wrote in a post on Instagram. The 45-year-old also acknowledged the special identity and traditions associated with Manchester United, saying the club's history, values and culture had inspired him throughout his time in charge. His most heartfelt words were reserved for the supporters, whom he credited for standing by him even when results failed to go their way. I want to say a big thank you to the supporters. I must say, you are a special, rare breed, he wrote. I know we've not had the results lately, but you've shown me nothing but love and support in times when the easiest thing, and what most end up doing, would be to turn the other way. That means more than a win or two. That love never dies, He further added. Carrick's departure came after United managed just one win in their opening 10 Premier League matches this season. The club also suffered an early exit from the Carabao Cup following a defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion. The former midfielder had initially returned to Old Trafford in January as interim head coach before being handed a permanent two-year contract in May. He guided United to a third-place finish in the Premier League, winning 12 of their remaining 17 matches and recording the highest points tally in the competition during that period. In his farewell message, Carrick also thanked his coaching staff for their loyalty and dedication, acknowledged the contributions of behind-the-scenes employees and wished the players success in their future endeavours. Despite his exit, he made it clear that his association with United would continue as a supporter. I want nothing but success for Manchester United. This club has been such a big part of my life, and that will never change. I'll always be proud to have played my part, and I'll always want the very best for it, he wrote. I'll be right there with you from now on, watching from the sidelines, cheering the lads on, he added. Meanwhile, Man United has appointed Mauricio Pochettino as their new head coach, with the former Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea manager set to take charge from November 18.

Ektaa R Kapoor and Amar Butala announce Sajid Khan's horror film Hero Ki Horrorine on Friday the 13th, watch motion poster

Marking Friday the 13th, a day traditionally associated with superstition and bad luck, Ektaa R Kapoor and Amar Butala have announced the title of their upcoming horror film, Hero Ki Horrorine. Directed by Sajid Khan, the film is a Jai Ho Media Ventures production, presented by Balaji Telefilms Ltd. and produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor and Amar Butala. The film is scheduled to arrive in cinemas in 2027. Along with the title announcement, the makers have also released the first-look poster, offering a glimpse into the film's horror-driven world. The poster features a frightening female figure with long hair, dressed in a blood-red sari. Her disfigured face, white eyes, sharp teeth and claw-like fingers add to the eerie appearance. Set against a dark, smoky backdrop, the visual introduces what appears to be the central horror figure of the film. While the title plays on the idea of a heroine, the first look hints at a rather unsettling character at the heart of the story. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Balaji Motion Pictures (@balajimotionpictures) The announcement comes after a year of theatrical and television projects for Ektaa R Kapoor. Bhooth Bangla emerged as a box-office success, while The Vvaan also found an audience. On television, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 and Naagin 7 have added to Balaji's fiction slate. The production house has also been expanding its digital presence through its association with YouTube for exclusive premium shows. With Hero Ki Horrorine, Kapoor returns to the horror genre, which she has explored through projects combining supernatural elements with mainstream entertainment. Producer Amar Butala, known for backing films such as Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Kesari and the critically acclaimed Mission Majnu, has joined hands with Kapoor for this theatrical project. With Sajid Khan at the helm, the film brings together the makers' experience in commercial cinema with the horror genre. The title announcement on Friday the 13th sets the tone for the film, which promises to introduce audiences to an unusual take on the idea of a heroine. Hero Ki Horrorine is produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor and Amar Butala under Jai Ho Media Ventures and presented by Balaji Telefilms Ltd.

U-19 Asia Cup: India Eye Record Ninth Title With Revenge Against Arch-rival Pakistan (Preview)

The U19 Asia Cup: India will be aiming to avenge their crushing 151-run defeat to Pakistan in the 2025 final when the arch-rivals meet in the Under-19 Asia Cup title clash on Saturday at the Amerat Cricket Ground (Ministry Turf 2) in Al Amerat, with the defending champions standing between the boys in blue and a record-extending ninth trophy. Pakistan, who won their second title with last year's win, will be eyeing to defend their title, while India will be hoping to capture the trophy once again and reaffirm their supremacy in the tournament. India's campaign has largely been led by two stars -- Aaryavir Sehwag and Ishan Sood, but the team will need more support from the other batsmen and bowlers if they want to beat a strong Pakistan team. Aaryavir has scored 303 runs in four matches for a massive average of 101 so far and was the top scorer in the competition. Aaryavir has scored 303 runs for two fifties and a ton in four matches. Sood has been the bowler spearheading the attack with pace and accuracy, taking 11 wickets in four games with the ball. India will require more backup for him and, more so, from the spin department if they are to prevent Pakistan's batting line-up. Skipper Lakshya Raichandani and wicketkeeper-batter Anvay Dravid, along with middle-order batters Arjun Rajput and VK Vinneeth, will be key cogs in the wheels. Their impact has been more sporadic than regular during the course of the tournament. Rajput's brisk century against Pakistan in the group stage proved too late for India in that contest. But Raichandani's 93 steered India to an easy victory over Afghanistan in the semifinal, and Vinneeth's half-century was no less useful. The Indians will be banking on all three making telling contributions in the decider. In the bowling, Rajput and Manal Chauhan will support Sood more, who has not really had any help. The two bowlers both spinners have picked up five wickets each, though three of those were in a game. Similarly, Pakistan have had their main contributors. Usman Khan has 238 runs to his name, while pacer Rizwanullah has 11 wickets and has topped Pakistan's list. Hamza Zahoor, who scored a century against India in their group-stage match, will also be a major threat. Pakistan also have Mohammad Sayyam with eight wickets and Ali Raza with six to their attack, which has strength in numbers. Having clashed earlier in the group stages, Saturday's final will see India seek revenge and reclaim the crown while Pakistan will aim to defend it. When: Saturday, November 14, 10:30 AM IST. Where: Amerat Cricket Ground (Ministry Turf 2), Al Amerat. Where to watch: The U19 Asia Cup final will be broadcast on Sony Sports Network, and live streaming will be available on SonyLIV. Squads: India U19: Lakshya Raichandani [captain], Aaryavir Sehwag, V.K. Vineeth, Yashbardhan Singh Chauhan [vice-captain], Kushagra Ojha, Arjun Rajput, Manal Chauhan, Anvay Dravid [wicketkeeper], Rajat Baghel [wicketkeeper], V. Yashveer, Aryan Savsani, Mohit Ulva, Kavya Patel, Shavin Vinod, Ishan Sood. Pakistan U19: Farhan Yousaf (captain), Huzaifa Ahsan, Usman Khan, Hayam Khan, Hasnain Abbas Dar, Jahangir Bilal, Ahmed Hussain, Niqab Shafiq, Hamza Zahoor, Abdul Subhan, Ali Raza, Mohammad Huzaifa, Mohammad Sayyam, Rizwanullah, Abdul Qadir.

4th ODI: Henry Six-for, Youngs Century Helps New Zealand Thrash India By 244 Runs (Ld)

New Zealand: Matt Henry ripped through Indias top order with a triple-wicket maiden in the first over and finished with career-best figures of 6-27 as New Zealand thrashed the visitors by 244 runs in the fourth ODI at the Bay Oval on Friday. Chasing 334, India were bowled out for 89 in 26.4 overs, slumping to their second-heaviest defeat in ODIs. The result cuts Indias lead to 2-1 and sets the stage for a series decider at the same venue on Sunday. It proved to be a Friday the 13th to forget for the Indian batters, with only Ishan Kishan, Axar Patel and Naman Dhir reaching double figures. Earlier, Will Young cashed in on two early let-offs to hammer a 108-ball 125, while Tim Seifert struck a blazing 58 off 48 deliveries, as New Zealand posted 333 in their 50 overs. Asked to bat by skipper Shreyas Iyer, New Zealand went well past the venues average first-innings total, despite losing four wickets in the last ten overs. Youngs 125, his fifth ODI ton and first against India, was laced with 14 fours and four sixes, while Seiferts 58 was studded with six boundaries and three sixes. For India, Axar Patel, Gurnoor Brar and Auqib Nabi took two wickets each, while Arshdeep Singh and Naman Dhir had one apiece. Kuldeep Yadav, playing his first game on the tour, went wicketless by conceding 73 in eight overs. Young got New Zealand going with a boundary pristinely timed off the final ball of Arshdeeps opening over. Seifert then took charge by driving Auqib Nabi for four and dispatching the free-hit that followed a no-ball for a pulled six. The same over brought Indias first fielding lapses of the day. Rohit Sharma grassed a straightforward chance at slip off Young, and Ishan Kishan failed to hold another outside edge on the very next ball, leaving Nabi stunned. Seifert showed little mercy thereafter - lofting Gurnoor Brar for six over long-on in the pacers first over, while exchanging words with him soon after, and took 15 runs off a Nabi over before bringing up his maiden ODI half-century off 42 balls in the 10th over. He became the first New Zealand batter to reach fifty inside the opening 10 overs of an ODI against India. New Zealand were 72/0 at the end of the powerplay, but Brar had the last laugh in the 12th over when Seifert top-edged a short ball and Kishan ran to his left and dived to take a fine catch. Brars send-off was so animated that Virat Kohli had to pull him away from the batter, and umpire Chris Brown later had a word with the tall pacer. The 85-run opening stand was followed by a mini-wobble. Axar Patel had Nick Kelly stumped for four, and Nabi removed Dean Foxcroft (8) with a well-directed bouncer and fine leg caught the top-edge. Young, who reached his fifty in the 20th over, found an aggressive partner in Finn Allen. The pair added 90 runs for the fourth wicket, plundering 19 runs off Kuldeep in the 26th over that included a free-hit six. Axar broke the stand when Rohit dived to his right at short cover to send Allen back for 41. Young marched forward to bring up his century off 88 balls in the 32nd over. It was his first ODI hundred since making 107 against Pakistan at the 2025 Champions Trophy. He later survived a blow to the helmet grille while attempting a reverse-sweep, and India also lost a review against him. His innings ended when substitute fielder Kumar Kushagra held on to a catch at the second attempt when Young attempted to slog-sweep against part-time off-spinner Naman Dhir. Dhir then ran in from deep backward square leg to take a sharp catch and give Brar the wicket of Michael Bracewell (15) and leave New Zealand at 258/6. Mitchell Santner, dropped by Rohit off Dhir previously, struck the off-spinner for two sixes before Arshdeep had him caught behind for 24. Kristian Clarke (22) and Kyle Jamieson, who remained unbeaten on 19, kept the scoreboard moving until Nabi trapped Clarke lbw. The innings ended with run-outs off the last two balls, Nabi hitting the stumps directly to remove Matt Henry and Kohli combining with Kishan to run out Matthew Fisher. Indias reply, though, was over almost before they had scored a run. Rohit Sharma edged the first ball of the chase to Finn Allen after being squared up at first slip, and Virat Kohli, playing for the inward movement too late, had his stumps rattled four balls later. Stand-in captain Shreyas Iyer, the 29th man to captain India in ODIs, lasted just one delivery - trapped lbw by a sharp in-seamer after New Zealand successfully overturned an on-field not-out call. It was only the second time that Rohit and Kohli bagged ducks in the same ODI. Kyle Jamieson then had Ruturaj Gaikwad caught at second slip for five, leaving India at 9/4, matching their score at the same stage against Zimbabwe at Tunbridge Wells in the 1983 World Cup. On that day, Kapil Dev rescued India by hitting an unbeaten 175, but here in Mount Maunganui, there was no heroic knock to rescue the visitors. Axar Patel could have fallen next ball, but Nick Kelly put down a simple chance at backward point. Axar and Kishan dug in to add 44 runs off 70 balls for the fifth wicket, before Matthew Fisher had the former at slip by Allen for 21. Henry returned for a second spell and castled Kishan on his first ball for a gritty 27. Fisher then produced a fierce bouncer, clocked at over 143kph, to have Auqib Nabi caught behind for five. Henry completed his five-wicket haul, his fourth in ODIs and second against India, when he castled Kuldeep Yadav for one. Naman Dhir offered brief entertainment, smashing Fisher for two sixes, including a thunderous pull, before holing out to extra cover for 21. Fittingly, Henry wrapped up the match by castling Gurnoor Brar for two with a full delivery that sneaked under the bat. Fisher finished with 3-31, while Jamieson conceded just 12 runs in his six overs for a scalp. But Henry, who featured in ODIs after a years absence, ensured India got a proper teaser for the Test series starting on November 19 with a deadly show at Bay Oval. Brief Scores: New Zealand 333 in 50 overs (Will Young 125, Tim Seifert 58; Axar Patel 2-39, Auqib Nabi 2-59) beat India 89 all out in 26.4 overs (Ishan Kishan 27, Naman Dhir 21; Matt Henry 6-27, Matthew Fisher 3-31) by 244 runs Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS
