While South Africa: Former India captain and pundit Anjum Chopra discussed Indias shortcomings from their recent Womens World Cup game against South Africa, where the Proteas handed the Women in Blue their first defeat of the tournament in a thriller, saying that Harmanpreet Kaur-led side failed to analyse that the opposition team also has match-winners. Anjum also lauded Nadine de Klerks knock, as she held her nerves under pressure and took charge of the hitting to help her side clinch a nail-biting win. Richa Ghoshs steady batting anchored Indias innings, but de Klerk's unbeaten 84 led South Africa to victory. Anjum commented on Indias performance, highlighting the resilience of the middle order, especially Richas contribution. She also emphasised the importance of expanding bowling options and learning key lessons to improve as the tournament progresses. Nadine de Klerk played true to her strengths. Shes one of those underrated performers in South African and world cricket, someone whos often seen as a bowler who can send down a few overs or as a batter who contributes occasionally but is not always recognised as a major match-winner. Her knock will make people take notice. Coming in at number eight and knowing exactly how to finish games. Thats a big takeaway for world cricket, seeing another player of such calibre come through. For India, the positive takeaway was the effort from Richa Ghosh and the middle order, including Sneh Rana, who once again stood up for the team. They showed intent and composure, making it clear that the middle and lower orders are willing to take responsibility. When India came out to bowl, they looked in sync with the situation, aware of how crucial every run was. They were up for the contest and the fight. But somewhere along the way, that intensity dropped, perhaps thinking the game was in the bag. They didnt fully acknowledge that the opposition also had match-winners and depth in their batting line-up, much like India, Anjum said on JioHotstar. Indias bowling unit yet again performed brilliantly and added pressure on the Proteas by picking up wickets early in the game. While South Africas chances looked meek as they started off with the chase, de Klerk pulled off a miracle to change the fate of the game. Speaking on Indias bowling unit. The tall batting order we often talk about, capable of chasing big targets, now has to prove itself under pressure, just like South Africa did with Laura Wolvaardt, Chloe Tryon, and Nadine de Klerk leading the way. The same kind of conditions will be seen again in Vizag, Indore, and Mumbai. They are not going to change. Its about how India adapt to them and find the right bowling combinations to respond, Anjum added. India lacked a sixth bowling option, which is why skipper Harmanpreet Kaur took charge in the middle and bowled four overs in the game. She conceded 15 runs and went wicketless, but that move led to further questions being raised about India not having a sixth full-time bowler in the lineup. The tall batting order we often talk about, capable of chasing big targets, now has to prove itself under pressure, just like South Africa did with Laura Wolvaardt, Chloe Tryon, and Nadine de Klerk leading the way. The same kind of conditions will be seen again in Vizag, Indore, and Mumbai. They are not going to change. Its about how India adapt to them and find the right bowling combinations to respond, Anjum added. Also Read: LIVE Cricket Score So, the team management will have to make a tough call, whether its sacrificing an opener, a number three, or a number five, a bowler must come in. Even with a deep batting order, when someone like Richa Ghosh is batting at number eight, its clear that several batters arent delivering consistently. Its time to strengthen at least one department decisively, she concluded. Article Source: IANS

Starmer, Modi promise to deepen ties on trade, jobs and education
NEW DELHI: In a strong push for business expansion, job creation, and education partnerships, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his British counterpart Keir Starmer on Thursday reiterated their commitment to unlocking the full potential of the recently signed IndiaUK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA). Meeting in Mumbai, the two leaders jointly addressed the CEO Summit and the Global Fintech Fest, laying out a clear vision for strengthening economic ties and catalysing growth in key sectors, including tech, finance, clean energy, and education. Starmers two-day visit, his first as prime minister, comes as both nations move swiftly to operationalise the landmark Free Trade Agreement (FTA), signed in July. Our deal with India means more investment in the UK and thousands of new jobs across the country, Starmer said. Modi echoed that sentiment, saying the CETA would create new job opportunities for youth, expand trade and benefit both our industries as well as consumers. He highlighted Indias favourable business climate, citing policy stability, predictable regulations, and strong domestic demand as key advantages. He talked of the prospects of joint ventures. We see immense potential for partnerships in telecom, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, quantum computing, semiconductors, cyber, and space. In defence, we are moving towards co-design and co-production models. This is the moment to accelerate and convert these opportunities into tangible outcomes. Ahead of the leaders meeting, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal and UK Business and Trade Secretary Peter Kyle finalised the institutional framework for the deals delivery, repositioning the Joint Economic and Trade Committee (JETCO) as the central body to oversee implementation and resolve regulatory and market access issues. Modi also announced that nine British universities will open campuses in India. Starmer confirmed that the University of Lancaster and the University of Surrey have already received approval. International education brought into the UK over 32 billion in 2022. Nearly 1 billion of that came from international campuses. Meanwhile, Air India and IndiGo are expanding flight frequencies to the UK. British Airways announced it will add a third daily flight between Delhi and Heathrow by 2026, subject to clearancessignalling growing trade and travel demand. Earlier, a British delegation visited the Yash Raj Films studio in Mumbai to explore joint production opportunities between Bollywood and the British film industry. As the CETA enters its implementation phase, both governments are betting on it as a vehicle for growth, innovation, and jobs across both economies.
Modis remarks on 26/11 attack terribly wrong: Chidambaram hits back
NEW DELHI: A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused the UPA government of being too soft on Pakistan, Congress leader and former Union Minister P Chidambaram responded on Thursday, saying that PM Modis attack on him was a figment of imagination. In a post on X, Chidambaram said, It is disappointing to read that the Honble prime minister of India imagined the words and attributed them to me. The statement has three parts, and each one of them is terribly wrong, said Chidambaram. I quote the Hon'ble PM's words (as reported in ToI): .....has said India was ready to respond after 26/11, but because of the pressure exerted by some country, then Congress govt stopped India's armed forces from attacking Pakistan. The statement has three parts, and each one P. Chidambaram (@PChidambaram_IN) October 9, 2025 I quote his words: ...has said India was ready to respond after 26/11, but because of the pressure exerted by some country, then the Congress government stopped Indias armed forces from attacking Pakistan. It is disappointing to read that the prime minister of India imagined the words and attributed them to me, he wrote. Modi on Wednesday attacked Congress, demanding it disclose to the nation who prevented India from mounting a military response following the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, which were linked to Pakistan. Speaking at a function in Mumbai, Modi blamed Congress-led UPA government for weakening the fight against terror, which he alleged had paid a heavy price on the nation. In a veiled reference to the comments made by former Union Home Minister P Chidambaram during a podcast, Modi said, A Congress leader, who has also been Union Home Minister, has said a country prevented Indias military retaliation post-26/11 Mumbai terror attacks in 2008. The party should clarify.

Maharashtra MoS in trouble for issuing gun license to local rowdy despite police's negative report
MUMBAI: Maharashtra home minister for the state and Shiv Sena MLA Yogesh Kadam landed into trouble over permitting a gun license to infamous rowdy Nilesh Ghayawal, despite receiving a negative report from the local police. Oppositions demanded an inquiry and the resignation of Minister Yogesh Kadam. Nilesh Ghayawals brother, Sachin Ghayawal, had sought a gun license. There are serious criminal charges against Ghahayal. The local Police in its report said that the court has not exonerated the charges against Sachin Ghayawal, but the charges are of a serious nature; therefore, the gun license should not be issued to Ghayawal. His brother Nilesh Ghayahal has been absconding and declared a fugitive. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Anil Parab alleged that the home minister for the state, Yogesh Kadam, has no moral right and authority to remain in the minister's chair. He said he had already submitted the complaint to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, but he is not taking action; therefore, they had no option but to approach the court. CM Devendra Fadnavis should sack Mr Kadam and save the image of his government; otherwise court will force him to take Mr Kadams resignation. The strictures passed by the court will be against the government and the chief minister as well. Therefore, it is the right time to show the moral authority and save the image of the government, Parab said. Breaking the silence, Shiv Sena minister Yogesh Kadam said that the gun licenses are issued by the police commissioner. He said he, as a minister, only signs the papers that are submitted to him. As per submitted documents, there are no present charges against Mr Ghayahal; therefore, he is not guilty of the issuance of a gun license. Besides, the applicant who is seeking a gun license had not seen his relationship with anyone, like his brother and sisters. The report of the applicant is important. The factual details are a key factor while issuing the license, Kadam. Kadam, defending Ghayawal, said that the charges against Ghayawal were 10-15 years ago; however, today there are no charges against him at all. Ramdas Kadam, father of Yogesh Kadam, said that the gun license was issued on the recommendation of one of the senior members of the Maharashtra state legislative council; therefore, there is no point in accusing his son. NCP SP MLA Rohit Pawar said that the photograph of Maharashtra state legislative assembly chairman Ram Shinde with Ghayawal and even alleged that Shinde always supports these two brothers and even helped one of the runaways.

Prithvi Shaw, Jalaj Saxena Named In Ankeet Bawane-led Maharashtra Ranji Trophy Squad
Maharashtra Ranji Trophy: India batter Prithvi Shaw and seasoned domestic all-rounder Jalaj Saxena have been included in Maharashtras 16-member squad for the upcoming Ranji Trophy 2025-26 season, which begins on October 15. The state selectors appointed Ankeet Bawane as the full-time captain for the campaign, with Maharashtra set to face Kerala in their opening fixture in Thiruvananthapuram from October 15-18. Shaw, who switched from Mumbai ahead of the season, is aiming for a fresh start after a turbulent period that saw him lose his place in the red-ball setup. His move to Maharashtra is seen as a significant step in trying to revive his red-ball career. Meanwhile, Saxena, one of the most consistent all-rounders in domestic cricket, joins the squad after a long stint with Kerala, where he played a key role in their run to the Ranji final last season. He was part of the team that played a warm-up match against his old team, Mumbai, in which he got into a heated confrontation with Musheer Khan, raising his bat to nearly hit Musheer. Shaw is in good form as he scored 181 against Mumbai. India international Ruturaj Gaikwad, a regular feature in Maharashtras setup and a former captain, is also part of the squad. The selectors have leaned on experience, picking Pradeep Dadhe over young fast bowler Rajvardhan Hangargekar. In the previous Ranji season (2024-25), Maharashtra finished fifth in Elite Group A, managing two wins, two draws, and three losses from seven matches.
