by Leave a Comment

Tata Motors, the global automobile manufacturer saw its shares jump 4% in today’s early trade, surpassing the significant milestone of ₹1000 to reach ₹1027 per share.

Tata Motors, the global automobile manufacturer saw its shares jump 4.52% in today’s early trade, surpassing the significant milestone of ₹1000 to reach ₹1031.90 per share. 

This notable uptick in share value followed investor enthusiasm spurred by the company’s strategic decision to demerge its commercial and passenger vehicle segments into two distinct listed entities. This move aims to enhance the company’s ability to capitalise on growth opportunities effectively.

On Monday, the company approved a demerger proposal for Tata Motors, splitting it into two distinct listed entities. The first entity will encompass the Commercial Vehicles business and its associated investments, while the second will include the Passenger Vehicles segment, consisting of PV, EV, JLR, and their related investments.

Over the past few years, the Commercial Vehicles (CV), Passenger Vehicles (PV+EV), and Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) businesses of Tata Motors have delivered a strong performance by successfully implementing distinct strategies. Since 2021, these businesses have been operating independently under their respective CEOs, the company said in its exchange filing. 

The demerger will be implemented through an NCLT scheme of arrangement, and all shareholders of Tata Motors shall continue to have identical shareholding in both of the listed entities.

Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr loses first leg of Asian Champions League quarterfinal!

Ronaldo’s: A first-half goal from Moroccan forward Soufiane Rahimi was enough for one-time champion Al-Ain to have the advantage in the return leg in Riyadh

Cristiano Ronaldo returned from suspension and could not prevent Al-Nassr losing to Al-Ain 1-0 in the first leg of their Asian Champions League quarterfinal on Monday.A first-half goal from Moroccan forward Soufiane Rahimi was enough for one-time champion Al-Ain to have the advantage in the return leg in Riyadh next Monday.

Ronaldo was fresh after missing a Saudi Pro League match on Thursday as punishment for making an alleged offensive gesture during the previous game against Al-Shabab.

A video appeared to show Ronaldo cupping his ear and repeatedly thrusting his hand forward near his pelvis in a gesture that seemed to be aimed at Al-Shabab fans who were chanting the name of Lionel Messi, Ronaldo’s longstanding soccer rival.

Al-Ain’s fans did the same but were almost silenced in the sixth minute when Ronaldo went close with an overhead kick. In the final moments, he attempted a lob from the halfway line that was just wide of the post. Another shot from close range was saved by Al-Ain goalkeeper Khalid Eisa.

It could have been worse for Al-Nassr as Al-Ain, coached by former Argentine striker Hernan Crespo, had two goals disallowed for offside.

The game ended with Al-Nassr down a man after Aymeric Laporte was sent off in stoppage time for violent conduct. The former Manchester City defender will miss the second leg.

“We are only halfway through, and while going to the next round is going to be difficult, we still have 90 minutes at home,” Al-Nassr coach Luis Castro said.

The winner of the tie is guaranteed a semifinal against Saudi opposition. Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal meet on Tuesday in the second quarterfinal in the western zone — the tournament is divided into two geographic halves until the final.

Hardik Pandya’s ‘returned home after 2 years’ comment set to intensify MI vs GT rivalry in IPL 2024!

by Leave a Comment

Hardik Pandya’s Mumbai Indians will meet former champions Gujarat Titans in their IPL 2024 opener. Pandya rejoined MI from GT ahead of the new season.

Hardik Pandya's

Born in Gujarat, but it feels like Mumbai adopted him. After playing two seasons for his home side – the Gujarat Titans (GT), Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya is convinced that he has finally returned home. Pandya is back at Mumbai Indians (MI) – A franchise where he tasted early Indian Premier League (IPL) success as an up-and-coming all-rounder in T20 cricket.

The premier all-rounder was a part of Mumbai’s title-winning side on four occasions between 2015 and 2021. Completing his homecoming for IPL 2024, Pandya re-joined Mumbai Indians in an all-cash deal with Gujarat Titans before the mini-auction in Dubai. Hardik also succeeded veteran Rohit Sharma as Mumbai’s captain for the new season. The former GT skipper was also Rohit’s deputy at the 2023 edition of the ICC World Cup.

Hardik’s Mumbai Paltan to meet GT in their IPL 2024 opener

An ankle injury cut short Pandya’s campaign at the ICC event last year. A fit-again Pandya recently returned to competitive cricket after his long injury layoff. Speaking to Star Sports ahead of his captaincy debut at MI, Pandya asserted that he returned home after two years. Hardik and Co. will meet GT in their IPL 2024 opener on March 24. “I’m deeply thankful for the immense love and support from fans. It’s a blessing beyond words,” Hardik said.

Hardik’s homecoming remark to intensify MI vs GT rivalry

“Returning to Mumbai Indians feels like coming back to where it all began. From my journey as a young lad in Baroda to Mumbai, this city has taught me growth, instilling in me humility and resilience. The city’s love and teachings are invaluable to me, shaping me into the cricketer I am today. Mumbai always challenges you to be better and now with the IPL, I have returned home after 2 years,” added Hardik, who guided Gujarat Titans to IPL glory in 2022.

How Mumbai sealed Hardik deal for IPL 2024

To land Hardik at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai Indians parted ways with Cameron Green as the Australian all-rounder was traded to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for INR 17.5 crore. Hardik kickstarted his IPL journey as an MI rookie when the all-rounder signed for the franchise at INR 10 lakh in 2015. The former GT was released by Mumbai ahead of the mega auction. Hardik guided GT to back-to-back IPL finals after leaving Mumbai.

Pandya’s turning point in IPL

“Coming from Baroda, it was a life-changing experience for me when I remember 2015’s IPL. That year was pivotal in my career. Representing Mumbai Indians amidst seasoned players was a turning point for me. When you get a chance to play with such established players on such a big platform, your life changes. I was fortunate enough that I was able to contribute on a much larger scale to the knockout games. Bagging two ‘Man of the Match’ awards during crucial knockout games was surreal. It marked the beginning of an extraordinary journey for me, it’s a chapter I’ll always cherish,” the MI skipper concluded.

Ravindra Jadeja’s mind-games that outclassed former Australia batter: ‘You guys think…’

by Leave a Comment

Brad Haddin, who played 66 Test for Australia, recalled a conversation he had with Ravindra Jadeja where he asked him about his bowling approach.

Ravindra Jadeja

Former Australia wicketkeeper Brad Haddin revealed how India’s Ravindra Jadeja made life difficult for him as a batter by putting some serious doubts in his mind. Jadeja has been a strong pillar for India with both bat and ball in the past decade. The flamboyant all-rounder has worked on his game over the years to stay consistent, however, his bowling approach remains almost the same – bowling straight lines. With the same approach, he managed to trouble Haddin during their battles on the field.

Haddin, who played 66 Test for Australia, recalled a conversation he had with Jadeja where he asked him about his bowling approach.

Jadeja was always a really interesting one to talk to after a Test series. Because all the spinners would go over and say, ‘What, are you undercutting the ball? Are you going over the top?’. He goes, ‘I just bowl at the stump.’ And you go, ‘Nah nah nah, what else you do?’ ” Haddin said on the Willow Talk podcast.

The Indian star stunned Haddin with his reply as he shared how the batters get outclassed on straight deliveries.

He goes, ‘I bowl at the stump, the wicket will do it. You guys think it’s going to do something’. ‘What about the straight one?’ He goes, ‘Sometimes it goes straight.

The veteran Australia wicketkeeper batter said after the chat when the two faced each he was in second thoughts while playing Jadeja as he managed to cast doubts in his mind.

“And you’re out there batting, you think, ‘Is this the one that goes straight?’. You talk to him afterwards, you go, ‘What did you do with that one?’. He goes, ‘I just put on the stumps, and that was the one that skid’ ” he added.

Jadeja against Australia

Jadeja enjoys a brilliant record against Australia in red-ball cricket with 89 scalps from 17 matches, including five five-wicket hauls and a 10-wicket haul.

Meanwhile, the all-rounder has been in terrific form in the ongoing Test series against England with both bat and ball. He has scored a century and a fifty as his presence has strengthened the middle-order which lacks inexperience. With the ball, he has bagged 17 wickets in three matches which includes a five-wicket haul.

Jadeja will be next seen in action against England in the fifth and final Test match against England in Dharamsala.

KL Rahul back in India after medical consultation, set for IPL 2024 return and ‘in line’ for T20 World Cup:

by Leave a Comment

KL Rahul is expected to be back for the IPL 2024 as captain Lucknow Super Giants to give his chances of playing the T20 World Cup a boost.

KL Rahul has returned to India following a medical examination trip to London, and is gearing to make his comeback with Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2024. Rahul, who sustained an injury in his right quadriceps while playing the first England Test in Hyderabad, was ruled out of the remaining four games due to the same, but with the 16th season of the Indian Premier League approaching, the LSG captain is eager to hit the ground running after his season was cut short in 2023.

According to a report in the Times of India, Rahul’s quick trip to London was a success and the India batter has hit the National Cricket Academy to be ready in time for LSG’s season opener against Rajasthan Royals on March 24. Rahul had to miss a significant chunk of last IPL after he injured his hamstring in the game against Royal Challengers Bangalore, and hence, the LSG captain wants to ensure he enters the fresh edition fit and match ready.

“He had consulted top medical experts in London. He returned to India on Sunday and has checked into the BCCI’s National Cricket Academy in Bangalore for rehab. He should get the Return to Play certificate from the NCA soon,” the report stated.

Another motivation behind Rahul’s dedication towards getting fit is the upcoming T20 World Cup. Rahul, like his senior pros Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, was momentarily out of the format after India’s defeat to England in the 2022 T20 World Cup semi-final, but while ‘Ro-Ko’ made their returns in the Afghanistan T20Is, KL is yet to make that move. However, the same report mentions that Rahul is ‘in-line’ to earn a T20 recall for the T20 World Cup that begins June 1 in the USA and West Indies.

“He is keen to prove his worth in the IPL as he’s in line for selection in India’s T20 World Cup team as a ‘keeper-bat.”

KL Rahul’s T20 conundrum

While Rahul may be in contention for a place in the World Cup squad, he, no doubt, will receive stiff competition from the likes of Rinku Singh and Sanju Samson in the middle-order. There are two ways to look at Rahul when it comes to his place in the Playing XI. One is purely as a batter, which won’t be easy given Hardik Pandya and the returning Suryakumar Yadav being automatic picks.

But second, if he is to be picked as a wicketkeeper-batter, Rahul’s chances increase. India are yet to decide on a particular wicketkeeper-batter since Rishabh Pant was sidelined. Ishan Kishan is nowhere in the picture currently and Jitesh Sharma hasn’t done enough to cement his place in the team. The only name that makes somewhat of a case here is that of Samson, but given the choice between the two, it is likely that the management will opt for Rahul.

Then again, a lot will be decided between now and the IPL, where both Rahul and Samson will have a point to prove. Rahul may or may not keep for LSG, with the latter possibility being higher. As for Samson, he too may not take on the wicketkeeping duties as Jos Buttler has been performing that role adequately.

PM Modi not real Hindu, didn’t get tonsured on mother’s death: Lalu Yadav

RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi “is not a real Hindu” as he did not get his head shaved when his mother Heeraba Modi died in 2022.

Lalu Yadav

In Short

  • Lalu Prasad Yadav criticises PM Modi, claims he’s not a ‘real Hindu’
  • First Mahagathbandhan rally held in Patna, attended by Opposition leaders
  • Lalu Yadav targets PM on nepotism, praises daughter for kidney donation

Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and claimed “he is not a real Hindu” as he did not get tonsured when his mother Heeraba Modi died in December 2022.

According to Hindu customs, men should shave their heads when a parent dies.

Lalu Yadav made the remarks while addressing a ‘Jan Vishwas Maha Rally’ at the Gandhi Maidan in Patna, which was attended by several Opposition leaders, including Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and party president Mallikarjun Kharge, as well as Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav.

The former Bihar Chief Minister also targeted the Prime Minister for his remarks on nepotism, saying that “people with more children are subjected to humiliation over the issue”.

This was the first Mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) rally held in Patna, as well as the first after Lalu Yadav underwent a kidney transplant in Singapore in 2022.

While taking potshots at the Prime Minister over nepotism, Lalu Yadav praised his daughter Rohini for donating her kidney to him.

The RJD chief also asserted that, despite multiple ailments, his work towards the people continued.

While appealing to defeat the BJP in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, he said, “Bihar has given lots of great personalities. In the same Gandhi Maidan, leaders of the country have held rallies and meetings.”

“Bihar is the land that drives the country. Bihar’s opinion has so much power that the people of the country imitate what Bihar decides,” he added.

On Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar switching sides to the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), the RJD chief said, “We never abused him when he broke the alliance with us.”

“Is he not ashamed of what he does? The BJP will be decimated in the coming polls. We stand united against the BJP,” he added.

Also addressing the rally, Kharge questioned PM Modi’s slogan “Modi Ki Guarantee” and asserted that Nitish Kumar will never be taken back to the Mahagathbandhan fold.

Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi alleged that the Centre was being benefitted by their corporate benefactors with loan waivers as small and medium businesses were affected under the pressure mounted by demonetisation and the enforcement of the Goods and Services Tax.

CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury and Akhilesh Yadav claimed that the actual ‘Amrit Kaal’ will come only after the BJP is ousted from power.

US Elections 2024: Nikki Haley beats Donald Trump in Washington DC for first primary win!

by Leave a Comment

Nikki Haley, the only remaining challenger to Donald Trump in the race, won 62.9% of the vote, versus 33.2% captured by the former president.

Presidential contender Nikki Haley won the Washington, D.C., Republican primary on Sunday, her first victory in the nominating process and a symbolic win for the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Edison Research said.

Haley, the only remaining challenger to Donald Trump in the race, won 62.9% of the vote, versus 33.2% captured by the former president.

She still faces near-impossible odds in her quest to win the Republican nomination to take on likely Democratic nominee President Joe Biden in November. Trump won the first eight nominating contests by significant margins before losing to Haley in America’s capital city.

The former president is also expected to win almost all nominating contests going forward, opinion polls show.

Washington, D.C., is 100% urban and a relatively high proportion of residents hold a college degree. The core of Trump’s base skews rural, and he is particularly strong in areas with low educational attainment.

The city also is home to a significant number of federal workers who Trump allies have pledged to fire en masse and replace with loyalists if he wins in November. Some categories of federal workers have seen an increase in death threats in recent years, and Trump often refers to the D.C. area as the “swamp.”

Haley will pick up 19 delegates from her win, a small portion of the 1,215 delegates needed to clinch the nomination.

Her victory could inoculate her from criticisms that she is unable to win a single nominating contest, though some Republicans will see her popularity in Washington as a negative. Many party leaders – Trump included – portray the city as crime-infested and run by out-of-touch elites.

This is not the first time Republicans in the capital have rejected Trump. During the last competitive Republican nominating contest in the District of Columbia, in 2016, Trump received less than 14% of the vote and no delegates, even as he went on to win the nomination nationally.

On Tuesday, voters in 15 states and one U.S. territory will caucus or go to the polls on the biggest day of nominating contests in the presidential primary. Known as Super Tuesday, 874 Republican delegates will be up for grabs.

The Democratic primary in Washington will be held in June.

Gautam Gambhir’s ‘serious’ message to KKR ahead of 2024 season: ‘IPL isn’t about Bollywood and after party…’

by Leave a Comment

Gautam Gambhir made a statement that the players should not focus on the off-field activities but look to find the ways to help the team bag another title.

Gautam Gambhir's

Kolkata Knight Riders mentor Gautam Gambhir has ‘serious’ advice for his players ahead of the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League. Gambhir, who led KKR to two titles during his tenure as captain, said that IPL is not about Bollywood or other glamour attached to it but an opportunity for players to express themselves in the toughest league in the world.

KKR, who won their last IPL title way back in 2014, signed Gambhir as their mentor as the veteran Indian opener left Lucknow Super Giants after spending two years with them for a homecoming in Kolkata. He was present with other members of KKR at the IPL 2024 players’ auction where the franchise splurged a record-breaking INR 24.75 crore to sign Mitchell Starc.

“I made it very clear on Day 1 that IPL for me, a serious cricket. It’s not about Bollywood, it’s not about you, it’s not about after party and stuff. It’s about going out there and playing competitive cricket and that’s the reason why I feel is the toughest league in the world because it is proper cricket,” Gambhir said on Star Sports.

The veteran batter pointed out the significance of the Indian Premier League on the world stage.

“It is probably closest to international cricket as compared to any other league and if you want to be known as a successful franchise, you should be able to deliver on the cricket field,” he added.

KKR are only the third franchise after Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians to win multiple IPL titles. However, things have not worked out well for them in the last couple of seasons where they finished seventh spot and failed to reach the playoffs.

Gambhir also talked about the loyal fanbase of Kolkata which has backed the team during their tough times.

“I think there are very passionate fans. We need to be honest to them. We need to try and probably bring that happiness on their smiles because I’ve always believed I think the most loyal fans have been fans from Kolkata because they’ve gone through a lot in the first three years of the IPL,” Gambhir said.

The two-time IPL-winning captain further made a statement that the players should not focus on the off-field activities but look to find the ways to help the team bag another title.

“Obviously it was the most high profile team as well. But I’ve always been a believer that ultimately it’s not about glamour. It’s about what we do on the cricket fields is all that matters and KKR should not be known for off field activities. They should be known for what we deliver on the cricket field,” concluded the KKR mentor.
