India have completed their T20 World Cup group-stage assignments and now brace for a far sterner examination in the Super 8s. The defending champions will face tougher opposition in the next phase, including 2024 runners-up South Africa, the West Indies and Zimbabwe. So far, India have underlined their status as title holders by sweeping aside every challenge in the opening round. Speaking on Ash ki Baat, Ravichandran Ashwin lauded the team’s consistency but admitted that the performance against the Netherlands was not flawless. He pointed out that Suryakumar Yadav anchored the innings with care, while Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya and Rinku Singh were positioned to lift the scoring rate at the right moment. Ashwin emphasised that even when India are not at their sharpest, their overall strength makes them difficult to beat.
“Surya played a very diligent knock. For the acceleration point, Dube, Hardik, and Rinku were there. They knew they could catch up on the scoring rate. But India weren’t extremely good today (vs Netherlands) with the bat, not extremely efficient. But it is such a solid team that even on their ordinary day, they can put you away. They were below par, not at their best. But still, with Varun Chakaravarthy bowling so well, the Netherlands could not pick him. Jasprit Bumrah got swing in the Powerplay and bowled yorkers too,” he said on Ash ki Baat. Ashwin also discussed Tilak Varma’s approach in the shortest format, especially as he works his way back after injury. He underlined that T20 success does not always depend on brute force and highlighted the value of timing and placement. “Tilak Varma is coming back after an injury. We talk about power and strength, but sweet spot and timing are the basic essence of batting. Tilak is not a big power hitter. For him, timing and finding the sweet spot are most important. Please remember, you can play like Vaibhav (Sooryavanshi), but you can also play like Tilak, who relies on timing and picks the gaps,” Ashwin said. Elsewhere, Pakistan confirmed their Super Eights qualification with a win over Namibia, joining India from Group A. Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe progressed from Group B, the West Indies and England advanced from Group C, while South Africa and New Zealand moved ahead from Group D in the 20-team tournament. With Australia and New Zealand already assured of entry into the 2028 edition as co-hosts, all teams that have reached the Super Eights, including New Zealand alongside Australia, have now secured qualification for that event.
Iran has warned the United States of retaliation if subjected to military aggression, saying all US bases and assets in the region would become “legitimate targets” in such a scenario.In a strongly worded letter addressed to the UN secretary general, António Guterres, and members of the security council, Iran accused the United States of issuing unlawful threats of force and urged the Council to act “without delay” to prevent further escalation.While reiterating that it “neither seeks tension nor war” and will not initiate any conflict, Iran made clear that it would respond if attacked.“In the event that it is subjected to military aggression, Iran will respond decisively and proportionately in the exercise of its inherent right of self-defence under Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations,” the letter stated.It added that in such circumstances, “all bases, facilities, and assets of the hostile force in the region would constitute legitimate targets” as part of Iran’s defensive response. Tehran said the United States would bear “full and direct responsibility” for any “unpredictable and uncontrolled consequences.”Iran urged the security council to use its authority and good offices to ensure that the US “immediately ceases its unlawful threats of the use of force.”Tehran also said it noted that it has engaged “constructively, with seriousness and in good faith” in nuclear talks with the US.The warning to the UN comes against a backdrop of rising military posturing and hardening rhetoric on both sides.On Thursday, Iran conducted its annual military drills with Russia, even as a second US aircraft carrier moved closer to the Middle East — a visible reminder of the growing strategic pressure in the region. The developments have underscored the fragile situation between both Washington and Tehran, as the two nations signal that they are prepared for conflict if nuclear negotiations collapse.US President Donald Trump has repeatedly cautioned Iran that failure to reach a deal would carry consequences. In his latest remarks, he suggested the window for diplomacy may be closing fast, saying he believes 10 to 15 days is “enough time” for Iran to reach an agreement.“It’s proven to be, over the years, not easy to make a meaningful deal with Iran, and we have to make a meaningful deal. Otherwise, bad things happen,” Trump said on Thursday.While there has been no official indication of imminent military action, the convergence of diplomatic deadlines, visible force deployments and escalating rhetoric has kept tensions high, placing US-Iran relations under intense international scrutiny.
Eric Dane, best known for his roles in the hit medical drama series ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and the teen-drama ‘Euphoria‘, passed away on Friday. He was 53.Dane, who openly spoke about his battle with ALS and became an advocate in spreading awareness over the past few years, reportedly passed away from the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, known also as Lou Gehrig’s disease. The news of his demise comes less than a year after he went public about the diagnosis.
“He spent his final days surrounded by dear friends, his devoted wife, and his two beautiful daughters, Billie and Georgia, who were the center of his world,” said a statement that requested privacy for his family. “Throughout his journey with ALS, Eric became a passionate advocate for awareness and research, determined to make a difference for others facing the same fight. He will be deeply missed, and lovingly remembered always. Eric adored his fans and is forever grateful for the outpouring of love and support he’s received.”
In April 2025, Dane announced he had been diagnosed with ALS, a progressive disease that attacks nerve cells controlling muscles throughout the body.He became an advocate for ALS awareness, speaking a news conference in Washington on health insurance prior authorization. “Some of you may know me from TV shows, such as “Grey’s Anatomy,” which I play a doctor. But I am here today to speak briefly as a patient battling ALS,” he said in June 2025. In September of that year, the ALS Network named Dane the recipient of their advocate of the year award, recognizing his commitment to raising awareness and support for people living with ALS.Eric Dane pens memoirA memoir by Dane is scheduled to be published in 2026. “Book of Days: A Memoir in Moments” will be released by Maria Shriver’s The Open Field, a Penguin Random House imprint. According to Open Field, Dane will look back upon key moments in his life, from his first day at work on “Grey’s Anatomy” to the births of his two daughters and learning that he has ALS. “I want to capture the moments that shaped me — the beautiful days, the hard ones, the ones I never took for granted — so that if nothing else, people who read it will remember what it means to live with heart,” Dane said in a statement around the book’s announcement. “If sharing this helps someone find meaning in their own days, then my story is worth telling.”
NEW DELHI: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday released a 20-point “chargesheet” against the BJP-led Assam government, accusing chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma of corruption and using state machinery to create fear among minorities.The chargesheet was unveiled in Guwahati ahead of the upcoming elections to the 126-member Assam Assembly. The Congress alleged that the BJP government had failed to fulfil key promises made during its decade-long tenure.
Among the issues raised, the party said that the government did not grant Scheduled Tribe (ST) status to six indigenous communities as promised. It also alleged that the BJP had failed to increase the daily wages of tea garden workers to Rs 351.The Congress further accused the state government of “rampant corruption,” claiming that the CM, some of his close ministers and their family members had “accumulated wealth illegally.” The chargesheet also alleged that the government engaged in “bulldozer justice” and carried out selective evictions targeting minorities, according to news agency PTI. Priyanka Gandhi, who is chairperson of the Congress screening committee for the Assam polls, is on a two-day visit to the state to finalise the party’s list of candidates. She was received at the airport by Assam Congress president Gaurav Gogoi and other senior leaders.Soon after arriving, she visited the revered Kamakhya Temple atop the Nilachal Hills to offer prayers. “I sought the blessings of Maa Kamakhya, and I am feeling very good after offering prayers at the temple,” she told reporters.Speaking about the party’s preparations, Gandhi said that she would personally meet party leaders and workers to gather feedback before distributing tickets.“I am meeting everyone and taking their suggestions and feedback. That is what we will do for two days, trying to meet as many people individually as we can. Members of the screening committee have been going to every district. They will take feedback and then assess it. Our efforts are to distribute the tickets well and contest the elections strongly,” she said.When asked about alliance talks, she said people should “wait and watch what happens.”Meanwhile, CM Sarma expressed confidence that the BJP would return to power in the state under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.Addressing a BJP ‘Booth Vijay Sankalp Sabha’ in Guwahati, Sarma highlighted development initiatives in Assam, including the recently approved underwater tunnel in the Brahmaputra River connecting Gohpur and Numaligarh. He described it as “an unimaginable gift to Assam.”“This time we will win, by making a record. What we want was given by the Prime Minister to Assam… What we can’t imagine, the Prime Minister has given an unimaginable gift to Assam,” Sarma said.
The stage is set for an intriguing clash in the Caribbean as West Indies Women host Sri Lanka Women in the 1st ODI of their three-match series at the National Cricket Stadium in Grenada.
With both teams eyeing crucial ICC Women’s Championship points, this match serves as a vital barometer for their 50-over form heading into a busy 2026 calendar.
The big news for the Maroon Warriors is the return of their captain, Hayley Matthews, who is back after a lengthy shoulder injury. The squad is bolstered by the presence of the legendary Deandra Dottin and Stafanie Taylor, giving them a massive edge in experience. Under Head Coach Shane Deitz, the Windies are seeking “revenge” after losing their previous ODI series to Sri Lanka in 2024.
Key player: Matthews. Her all-round ability to dominate with the bat and provide crucial breakthroughs with her off-spin makes her the undisputed MVP.
Ranked 6th in ODIs (above West Indies at 9th), Sri Lanka arrives with momentum and a settled core. Led by the powerhouse Chamari Athapaththu, the visitors rely heavily on her explosive starts. Their bowling attack is spin-heavy and disciplined, which could trouble the Windies’ middle order if they fail to rotate strike.
Key player: Kavisha Dilhari. She has evolved into a world-class all-rounder. Her ability to finish games with the bat and her handy off-breaks will be vital in Caribbean conditions.
The surface at St. George’s is traditionally known for being balanced but slightly leaning toward the bowlers as the game progresses. Historically, the pitch offers a good bounce early on, allowing batters to play their shots. While the new ball might zip around under the morning humidity, the track is expected to slow down significantly. Spinners from both sides—like Afy Fletcher and Inoka Ranaweera—will likely dictate the middle overs. Teams winning the toss often prefer to bowl first. The early morning moisture can assist seamers, and chasing has generally been more successful at this venue in limited-overs formats.

Jodhpur: Rajasthan HC‘s principal bench in Jodhpur has granted statutory bail to a juvenile arrested in a Pocso case, holding his detention beyond 90 days without a chargesheet as a violation of his right to personal liberty.Justice Farjand Ali also ordered an investigation into what he noted was a “chronological imposs-ibility” in the case records.An order sheet dated Nov 24, 2025, mentions a trial court rejected the bail plea. Justice Ali pointed out that the application hadn’t been filed until Nov 28.
Raipur: Chhattisgarh HC has dismissed a juvenile’s appeal for bail in a 2025 murder case, saying such relief can’t be treated as an absolute or automatic rig-ht and release will “defeat the ends of justice” given the gravity of the offence.Justice Arvind Kumar Verma upheld earlier orders of Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) and a sessions court in Chhattisgarh’s Dhamtari, and held the HC was “not convinced” that a juvenile could claim bail without courts examining the nature of the offence.“JJB and the sessions court rightly prioritised child protection over routine bail in a heinous offence like murder. Such acts amount to a grave rupture of social order, violate the inherent dignity of childhood, and demand collective vigilance to restore moral balance,” Justice Verma observed in his Feb 13 judgment.The minor filed the criminal revision plea under the Juvenile Justice Act, 2015, challenging the order of the sessions court on Oct 31, 2025 rejecting bail. He allegedly stabbed Vikas Dhruv in Dhamtari following an altercation on June 6 last year.The minor’s counsel argued that the lower courts had failed to appreciate the reformative spirit of the 2015 law, and continued detention in an observation home would expose him to criminal influence. The counsel said the attack occurred in self-defence and that the accused had no prior criminal records and came from a poor family.Govt counsel Vivek Sharma contended that the lower courts had properly assessed the evidence, highlighting the serious nature of the crime.
NEW DELHI: India on Thursday attended the inaugural meeting of US President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace on Gaza as an “observer” country, without joining the initiative that has been set up by Trump for the redevelopment of the Gaza Strip. India was represented at the meeting, held at the Donald J Trump Institute of Peace in Washington DC, by Chargé d’affaires at the Indian Embassy Namgya Khampa, reported PTI. Trump pledged $10 billion for the new “Board of Peace,” saying the United States would fund the initiative aimed at rebuilding Gaza, which was reduced to rubble by two years of war between Hamas and Israel. Trump will wield veto power over the “Board of Peace” and can remain its head even after leaving office, while countries seeking permanent membership instead of a two-year term will be required to pay $1 billion. Trump announced that the US will commit $10 billion to the Board, whose members include 27 nations such as Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Hungary, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. PM Narendra Modi was among the numerous global leaders that the US President had invited to join the board that was announced under the second phase of a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. India was among the countries not present at a January 22 ceremony in Davos where Trump unveiled the Board of Peace that seeks to work towards bringing lasting peace to Gaza and possibly resolve other global conflicts. The Board of Peace is perceived as a rival to the UN. Trump has previously said that the Board of Peace “might” replace the UN, which he said has never lived up to its potential. The executive board, finalised on January 17, consists of a mix of diplomats and financiers, including US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Jared Kushner, and World Bank President Ajay Banga. While the US has outlined an initial $1 billion reconstruction package for housing and infrastructure, funding is strictly tied to security conditions.
