'Needs A Lot Of Preparation': Pujara Lauds Dhir's Explosive Cameo, Urges Clarity On Spin Options
New Delhi: Former India batter Cheteshwar Pujara has praised Naman Dhir for his blistering unbeaten 24 off just six deliveries in Indias rain-hit T20I decider against the West Indies in Bengaluru, highlighting the preparation required to deliver such an impact in a high-pressure situation. He also stressed the need for the team management to identify and consistently back its spin options for the coming years, naming Kuldeep Yadav and Ravi Bishnoi among the candidates to be considered alongside Varun Chakravarthy. Dhirs late assault showcased his ability to make an immediate difference with minimal time at the crease. In a match reduced by rain, the Mumbai Indians batters six-ball effort offered a glimpse of the value of having a designated finisher capable of clearing the boundary from the outset. Pujara believes the ease with which Dhir found the ropes should not be mistaken for a lack of effort behind the performance. Its the ease hes batting with. You face only six deliveries, and there were just two singles. All the other deliveries went for fours and sixes. Hes batting at a strike rate of 400 in a game that is limited to nine overs. So, to walk in and start hitting each and every ball for a four or a six, that needs a lot of preparation. When you look at him batting, you might think, 'Oh, he's making batting look so easy, but its not that easy. When youre batting in that position, you have no time to think. So, to have faced just five or six deliveries and to have reached a score of 24, I think that is phenomenal, Pujara told JioStar. Beyond the batting display, Pujara also addressed a longer-term selection question for Indian cricket: how to maintain a settled group of spinners despite the changing demands of T20 conditions. He pointed to factors such as ground dimensions and the pressure of conceding runs in a format where one expensive spell can quickly affect a bowlers confidence. You will have to identify players and continue backing them. If the boundary size is small, Kuldeep may not play every game. So, you also need to give the players clarity that they will continue to be part of the Indian team. They may or may not be part of the playing XI regularly, but they are there in the larger setup. That is the message that needs to be communicated to the spinners especially because they can lose confidence pretty quickly in a shorter format.

Trump vows Iran will never get nuclear weapon
Digital Desk | Washington, Oct 18 (IANS) US President Donald Trump has declared that Iran's nuclear weapons capability has been destroyed by American military operations and vowed that Tehran would never be allowed to rebuild it, presenting the campaign against the Islamic Republic as one of the major national security achievements of his second presidency. Addressing a Republican election rally at Northern Kentucky University's Truist Arena on Saturday, Trump defended his decision to launch military operations against Iran, saying the threat of a nuclear-armed Tehran had made American intervention necessary. They cannot have a nuclear weapon. They can't because they'll use it, Trump told supporters while discussing the military campaign. The President said the United States had successfully struck Iran's nuclear infrastructure and was taking steps to ensure that the programme could not be revived. We have to make sure it doesn't come back, he said, recalling his instructions to senior administration officials during the operation. Trump linked the military action to his broader argument that American military strength had been restored under his leadership and that Washington was once again prepared to confront threats to its national security. He said the decision to undertake military operations had come at a time when the American economy and stock market were performing strongly. The President acknowledged that the operation had required the United States to devote attention and resources to the Middle East, but argued that preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons was more important than any short-term economic consequences. He also suggested that energy prices would decline once the military campaign was concluded. It's gonna end very quickly, Trump said, adding that petrol prices would fall below their previous levels when the operation ended. The President returned to the subject later in his speech, describing the military action as a defining accomplishment of his administration. Iran won't have, doesn't have, and never will have a nuclear weapon, very simple, he declared. Trump argued that the issue should have been resolved by previous American administrations and insisted that his government had demonstrated the resolve necessary to confront Tehran. Should have been done years ago, he said. The President placed the Iran operation alongside other foreign policy initiatives, including developments involving Venezuela and Greenland. He also highlighted increased American defence spending, saying his administration and the Republican-controlled Congress had delivered more than $1 trillion for the armed forces. Trump said that the United States possessed the world's strongest military and said American defence capabilities were central to restoring the country's international standing.

From a Mumbai family office acquiring a nearly completed upscale hotel in Udupi to RR Kabel's investment in Salasar Balaji, family capital is flowing into branded hotels around India's biggest pilgrimage centres.Nearly Rs 2,000 crore has been committed across key religious destinations over the past 12-18 months, according to Noesis Hotel Advisors, as some of India's wealthiest business families turn their conviction in these destinations into a hospitality investment play.Also Read: Lemon Tree Hotels announces signing of MoU with Omaxe for operating 4,000 keysThe Udupi acquisition involves a nearly completed 137-room upscale hotel that will operate under a premium brand of Indian Hotels Company (IHCL). In Salasar Balaji, a family office is developing a 108-room property, while ITC Hotels has signed a 145-room Welcomhotel project on a six-acre site near the temple.135018616In Khatu Shyamji, Royal Orchid Hotels has signed a 120-room hotel with the Agarwal family, around 2 km from the temple.The deals signal a shift from traditional dharamshalas and independent lodgings towards branded, professionally managed hotels. IHCL, ITC Hotels, Sarovar Hotels and Radisson are among the operators expanding across religious markets.For Mahendra Kabra, managing director at RR Kabel, the investment in Salasar Balaji is driven by personal faith as well as commercial conviction.Also Read: Protests, traffic curbs in Delhi hit hotel businessResilience of Religious TravelI am a big believer in Salasar Balaji and go there every year. Instead of having a dharamshala there, I thought it would be better to invest in a hospitality asset in Salasar Balaji, he said. The hotel will be managed by Sarovar Hotels.The appeal for investors lies in the relative resilience of religious travel. A metro hotel lives and dies by corporate cycles; a pilgrimage hotel draws guests in good years and bad years alike, a representative of a Mumbai-based family office that recently invested in the segment said on condition of anonymity.Faith is India's most reliable demand generator, said Ajay Bakaya, chairman of Sarovar Hotels, an early entrant in several religious destinations. Occupancy is strong in these markets, according to him, particularly for mid-tier properties with 80-100 rooms. A lot of family offices also see development potential in investing in properties in such religious locations, he said.Much of the capital comes from regional trading, industrial and real estate families in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Individual investments range from 60 crore for a midscale hotel to 150 crore or more for an upscale asset, according to Noesis Hotel Advisors.This is not speculative money. These are families who have watched pilgrim footfall in their own towns double in a decade and are now converting that conviction into branded, institutional-grade assets, said Nandivardhan Jain, founder and CEO of Noesis Hotel Advisors, which has advised on some of the deals. The capital is patient, it is local and it is backed by land the family already owns. That combination makes it one of the most stable sources of hotel equity in India today. Jain cautioned, though, that resilient demand and family-owned land do not guarantee a viable hotel. A temple is not a feasibility study, he said.Better roads, airports, expressways, and pilgrimage corridors are turning day-trip destinations into overnight stops, improving the economics of branded hospitality. For hotel chains looking beyond saturated urban markets, temple towns offer a growing pool of demand and relatively limited branded supply. For family offices, experts say the bet is on faith-an enduring reason to travel.

Ahead of mega IPO, Jio identifies 3 growth engines, targets 100 million homes
Mumbai, Oct 17: Ahead of its proposed initial public offering (IPO), Jio Platforms has outlined its next phase of expansion, identifying mobility, home broadband and enterprise and international services as its three principal growth engines. Speaking to journalists in Mumbai, Managing Director Akash Ambani said the company would focus on expanding its customer base, strengthening digital infrastructure and monetising its technology capabilities as Indias digital economy moves towards an estimated $1.4 trillion by FY31. Jio currently serves around 533 million connectivity customers and carries more than 60 per cent of Indias data traffic. The most important unit of our business is our customers, Ambani said, reiterating the companys focus on delivering affordable digital services to individuals, households and enterprises. In the mobility segment, Jio estimates an industry opportunity of around 340 million new 4G and 5G additions between FY26 and FY31. This includes approximately 100 million first-time mobile users and 240 million customers expected to migrate from 2G networks to 4G and 5G services. The company said it added nearly three times as many net active mobile users as its second-largest competitor in FY26. Home broadband is another major growth area, with Jio targeting expansion from its existing base of around 28.6 million fixed broadband customers to 100 million homes. The company accounted for approximately 67.5 per cent of Indias net fixed broadband additions in FY26. Combining fibre connectivity with its proprietary wireless technology, Jio aims to extend its services across nearly 19,000 PIN codes. The enterprise and international business offers further expansion opportunities. Jio estimates Indias addressable enterprise digital services market at 5.1 lakh crore, or $56.8 billion. Nearly 65 per cent of bank branches in the country are connected to its network, alongside its expanding portfolio of security and video surveillance services. Internationally, Jio plans to offer its end-to-end technology stack in select markets, positioning itself as a managed services partner for global telecom operators rather than merely a software vendor. Earlier, Isha Ambani highlighted Reliances emphasis on long-term thinking, scale, execution and financial discipline. The event opened with Uday Kotak recalling Dhirubhai Ambani and Reliances landmark 1977 public offering.
