Virat Kohli Confirms Upcoming World Cup Will Be His Last, Says Goal Is Absolutely to Win
India batting star Virat Kohli has confirmed that the upcoming ICC Mens Cricket World Cup in South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe will be his final appearance at the tournament for India. Kohli made the announcement while speaking to JioStar, saying that winning the World Cup remains his primary motivation. For me, it's the last World Cup I'm going to play for India. And that is my motivation. And of course, the goal is absolutely to win the World Cup. And whatever it takes, I'm absolutely ready, Kohli said. The veteran batter is closing in on the 15,000-run mark in ODI cricket. He has represented India in four ODI World Cups and was part of the title-winning team in 2011. After announcing his retirement from Test and T20I cricket, Kohli is now focused on the 50-over format and the next World Cup. Explaining the demands of the tournament, Kohli highlighted the intensity involved in playing multiple matches at the highest level, particularly in overseas conditions. The intensity of a 50-over World Cup is greater than anything. Because now, it's about 10 games at a T20 level of intensity. But you are playing 2.5 T20 games in one day. And to maintain that intensity for 10 games in a big tournament and World Cup is a big deal. Also now, it's in foreign conditions. It takes a lot out of you, Kohli said. Kohli has established himself as one of the most prolific batters in World Cup history. He has played 37 World Cup ODIs, accumulating 1,795 runs at an average of 59.83, including five centuries and 12 half-centuries. His highest World Cup score is 117. Overall, Kohli has scored 14,941 runs in 302 ODI innings at an average of 58.59. His ODI record includes 54 centuries and 79 fifties, with a highest score of 183 and a strike rate of 93.95.

Odds of rate hike at RBI's October MPC meet on the rise: Economists
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 27 (IANS) The Reserve Bank of Indias (RBI) inflation mandate has likely reinforced the push to drain excess liquidity, with the odds of a rate hike at the October meeting on the rise, according to economists. Short-end rates are likely to stay bid as markets price in these rate increases, they added. According to Radhika Rao, Senior Economist and Executive Director, DBS Bank, pullback in benchmark oil prices helped to stabilise INR asset markets, though overnight climb in US yields might counteract some of the positive impact. USD/INR had ended around the mid-95 handle, though is set to resume its climb, attracting strong intervention bids. Liquidity conditions have tightened meaningfully following the central bank's sustained absorption operations, which have relied on a mix of open market operations, VRRR auctions, and short-tenor sell-buy swaps, she explained. Tax outflows, rising seasonal currency leakage, and intermittent FX sales likely helped further lower the surfeit. As a result, the liquidity balance narrowed to below Rs 5 lakh crore last week from a peak of around Rs 10-11 lakh crore, helping to improve monetary policy transmission and align the weighted average call rate more closely with the repo rate. Liquidity and core inflation have historically displayed a modest positive relationship, said the economist. Pranjul Bhandari, Chief India Economist and Strategist, HSBC Global Investment Research, said that they maintain the long-held view of two 25 bp hikes in the October and December meetings, respectively, taking the repo rate to 5.75 per cent. We also expect further clarity/steps on liquidity removal in the October meeting, she noted. Excess liquidity can quickly become inflationary and can raise financial stability risks if banks become dependent on abundant liquidity. The RBI has already deployed VRRRs, OMO sales, and FX swaps/spot sales. CRR hikes and MSS issuance are options under consideration.

IMD issues red alert in U'khand; heavy rain likely in Himachal, UP
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 27 (IANS) The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Sunday issued a warning regarding torrential rain and thunder strikes in Uttarakhand. Heavy rainfall is also anticipated in Himachal Pradesh and western Uttar Pradesh. IMD has predicted rainfall in Delhi over the next three days. As rains lashed Uttarakhand on Saturday, the Meteorological Department issued a 'red alert' for the districts of Dehradun, Tehri, Haridwar, and Pauri. The Char Dham Yatra has been suspended in view of the adverse weather conditions. Meanwhile, temperatures have dropped sharply due to snowfall in the high-altitude areas of Pithoragarh, Chamoli, Rudraprayag, and Uttarkashi. Due to the impact of a depression formed over north-eastern Madhya Pradesh and adjoining northern Chhattisgarh, heavy to very heavy rainfall -- and in some places, extremely heavy or exceptionally heavy rainfall -- is expected in Uttarakhand and parts of northern Uttar Pradesh on Sunday. According to the information shared by the IMD on the social media platform 'X', the depression formed over south-eastern Uttar Pradesh has moved north-northwestwards at a speed of 12 km/h over the past six hours. Consequently, it was located approximately 40 km southeast of Lucknow, 80 km east-northeast of Kanpur, 110 km south-southwest of Bahraich, and 260 km southeast of Bareilly. There is a high probability that it will continue moving north-northwestwards across eastern Uttar Pradesh and gradually weaken into a 'well-marked low-pressure area' in the same region over the next six hours. According to the Meteorological Department, the weather pattern in Delhi-NCR underwent a change following rainfall on Saturday evening. People experienced a slight chill on Sunday morning. The IMD has forecasted rain in the national capital over the next three days. Meanwhile, an 'orange alert' for rain has been issued for Jharkhand for Sunday. Additionally, a 'yellow alert' for rain has been issued for Madhya Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Telangana, Marathwada, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Karnataka, Puducherry, and Tamil Nadu. For Monday, a 'yellow alert' for rain has been issued for Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu & Kashmir, while strong winds are expected in coastal Andhra Pradesh.
