The pre-wedding celebrations for Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant are about to start in Jamnagar, Gujarat, and Mukesh Ambani’s younger son has announced a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation program named Vantara in advance of the huge event.

Anant Ambani, son of India’s richest man Mukesh Ambani, will soon tie knots with his fiance Radhika Merchant.

Since the announcement of the grand project, videos of Anant Ambani and the Vantara rehabilitation centre have been doing rounds on social media platforms.

Vantara means Star of the Forest. It is not a zoo or an animal hospital specifically but an umbrella initiative to focus on rescue, treatment, care and rehabilitation of injured, abused and threatened animals, both in India and abroad.

Steve Smith ‘not fussed’ about making it to Australia T20 World Cup 2024 squad

by Leave a Comment

Steve Smith has said he isn’t thinking too much about making it to the Australia squad for the T20 World Cup 2024 as questions have been raised about his spot in the team after the New Zealand series.

In Short

  • Steve Smith’s spot in the T20 World Cup squad hangs in the balance
  • Smith said he isn’t too fussed about making to World Cup
  • Smith said he doesn’t see opening the batting in Tests as anything different

Steve Smith has claimed that he isn’t ‘too fussed’ about making it to the T20 World Cup 2024 squad of Australia after his horrid run of form during the recently-concluded T20I series against New Zealand.

Smith could only score just 15 runs in two matches, putting his position in the T20I squad under doubt. His teammate Matthew Wade had recently admitted that it would be tough for the Australian star batter to make it to the T20 World Cup.

However, Smith has claimed he isn’t thinking too much into it. Speaking to AAP, the star batter said that he got a couple of good deliveries during the New Zealand series. Smith said that he is unsure about what the selectors want to do in terms of making a call.

“I got a couple of decent balls to be fair. (Adam) Milne got one to take off in the second game, which was tough. Lockie, when that sun was setting, it was quite difficult to pick up and he gave me a nice in-swinger. Look, it wasn’t ideal, but it is what it is and whatever will be, will be from here. I’m not really sure what (selectors) want to do. I’m not really too fussed either way. If I’m there, I’m there. If I’m not, I’m not,” said Smith.

Don’t see it any different: Steve Smith on opening

Smith is now all set to turn his focus towards the longest format of the game as the Test series against New Zealand would start on February 29, Thursday. Since the retirement of Warner, the star batter has been elevated to the opening spot.

Speaking about his new role, Smith said it’s fun and he doesn’t view it any different from his time batting at No.3 or 4 in the batting order.

“It’s fun, but honestly I don’t see it as anything different. I batted at three for an extended part of my career and I batted at four, where I’ve been in inside of two overs. It’s really nothing that new to me,” he explained.

Australia will be playing two Test matches against New Zealand.

Hardik Pandya returns: How new Mumbai Indians captain performed days before start of 2024 IPL season!

by Leave a Comment

Hardik Pandya returned to competitive cricket in a tournament at the DY Patil Stadium for the first time in nearly four months

Hardik Pandya returned to competitive cricket for the first time in nearly four months, playing a match in the DY Patil Cup in Navi Mumbai. Pandya has been working his way back to full fitness after he suffered an ankle injury during India’s match against Bangladesh at the 2023 World Cup in October last year.

The injury ruled him out for the rest of the tournament and he then had to sit out the subsequent series against Australia at home, South Africa away from home and then Afghanistan in India. It meant that, if he doesn’t get injured, Pandya would have to play the T20 World Cup later this year without having played T20Is for India since the 2023 World Cup. He is, however, expected to play the Indian Premier League (IPL) as five-time champions Mumbai Indians’ newly appointed captain.

How Pandya fared on return

Pandya on Monday played for Reliance 1 in the DY Patil T20 Cup in Navi Mumbai. He opened the bowling and picked up 2 for 22 from his three overs. He then batted at No. 10 and saw off a tense chase along with Piyush Chawla. Pandya was unbeaten on 3 off four balls as Reliance 1 beat Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited by two wickets. Among his wickets was India T20 international Rahul Tripathi.

For the past month, Pandya has been training in Baroda while following a return-to-fitness roadmap drawn up for him by the National Cricket Academy (NCA). The all-rounder also featured in practice matches at NCA along with Rishabh Pant, who is also returning to fitness after suffering serious injuries in a car accident in December, 2022.

Pandya’s return to competitive cricket has been much awaited as had led India’s T20 side for most of last year and would have been a contender to captain in the upcoming World Cup but for injury. BCCI secretary Jay Shah has announced Rohit Sharma as skipper and Pandya as his deputy for the marquee event.

UK-based gangster likely involved in Haryana politician’s Nafe Singh Rathee murder: Cops

by Leave a Comment

The Haryana Police, investigating the murder of Nafe Singh Rathee, has said a UK-based gangster was suspected to be involved in the case.

In Short

  • UK-based gangster likely involved in killing of Nafe Singh Rathee
  • Police to interrogate gangster’s associate in Tihar Jail
  • FIR names former MLA and others, also mentions five unnamed accused

A UK-based gangster was likely involved in the killing of Nafe Singh Rathee, Haryana unit president of Indian National Lok Dal and former MLA, the Haryana Police has said.

The police also said they would interrogate a close associate of the gangster, lodged in Delhi’s Tihar Jail, in connection with the case. Earlier, the police interrogated Sandeep, alias Kala Jathedi, one of the top gangsters in Haryana, in Tihar Jail.

During interrogations, Sandeep denied any involvement in Singh’s murder.

Rathee and Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) worker Jai Kishan were killed when unidentified assailants sprayed their sports utility vehicle (SUV) with bullets at Bahadurgarh, near Delhi, on Sunday. The assailants who shot dead Rathee in his SUV told his nephew, who was driving the vehicle, that they were sparing his life so that he could inform his family, according to an FIR.

In the FIR, the police named former MLA Naresh Kaushik, Karambir Rathee, Ramesh Rathee, Satish Rathee, Gaurav Rathee, Rahul and Kamal.

The FIR also mentioned five unnamed accused.

Meanwhile, in his police complaint, Rathee’s nephew Rakesh said five unidentified killers, who were following them in a car, came out and fired indiscriminately near the Barahi railway crossing. Complainant Rakesh told police that he was behind the wheel and Rathee was sitting next to him. In the rear seat, two persons, including the INLD worker killed in the incident, were sitting.

Rakesh said they were returning to Bahadurgarh on Sunday evening.

The attack, which came less than two months before the Lok Sabha polls, drew sharp reactions from the opposition parties in the BJP-ruled state.

On Monday, Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij said the probe into Rathee’s killing will be handed over to the CBI even as 12 people, including a former MLA, were booked in connection with the murder.

The statement came as Vij, in the Haryana Assembly, denied the Opposition’s charge that the law-and-order mechanism has collapsed in the state.

Now, we need to start Phase 2 at both locations as early as possible which you can inaugurate in your third term.”

Speaking at the inauguration Prime Minister Narendra Modi said “Today, India is one of the largest producers of cotton, jute and silk in the world. Lakhs of farmers are engaged in this work.
