Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar lauded skipper Suryakumar Yadav for bringing sharp match awareness into India’s game after their commanding 61-run victory over Pakistan in the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in Colombo.Gavaskar underlined how Suryakumar stepped up in contrasting pressure situations. He recalled the game against USA, where India were reeling at 77 for 6 before Surya guided them out of trouble. Against Pakistan, he walked in at 88/2 and anchored the innings through to the 19th over, compiling 32 from 29 balls with three boundaries as India posted 175/7 in 20 overs to seal a Super 8 berth.
“You have to play according to the situation, and that is what Captain Suryakumar Yadav has done. He has led from the front. In the match against the USA, when India were in trouble at 77 for 6, Surya bailed the team out and here against Pakistan, when he came out to bat, India were at 88-2, and then he batted till the 19th over, scoring 32 runs. Yes, he didn’t bat at a high strike rate, but he ensured that the wickets didn’t fall, keeping hold of one end.““So, the rest of the team understands that in T20 cricket, you don’t want dot balls. You want to reduce them, but you also don’t want to throw your wicket away trying to hit sixes. Being aware of the match situation, ground conditions, and even which way the wind is blowing is important, and Suryakumar Yadav has brought that awareness into this Indian team,” Sunil Gavaskar said on JioStar.The win extended India’s dominance over Pakistan in T20 World Cup contests to 8-1.After opting to bowl first, Pakistan struck early when Abhishek fell for a duck. Ishan’s explosive 77 and Tilak’s composed 25 steadied the innings, but India slipped to 126/4 with Hardik Pandya departing for nought. Suryakumar then combined with Shivam Dube and Rinku Singh to ensure a strong finish despite testing conditions. Saim Ayub’s 3/25 was the standout bowling effort for Pakistan.Pakistan’s reply never gathered momentum. Early breakthroughs from Hardik, Jasprit Bumrah and Axar Patel reduced them to 34/4. Usman Khan fought with 44 off 34 balls, striking six fours and a six, but India dismissed Pakistan for 114 in 18 overs.Axar returned 2/29, while Hardik (2/16), Bumrah (2/17) and Varun Chakaravarthy (2/17) shared the wickets.India sit comfortably atop Group A with three wins from three, Pakistan are third with two wins and a defeat, and USA occupy second place with two victories and two losses.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi with US President Donald Trump
Commerce secretary Rajesh Agrawal on Monday announced that a delegation of Indian officials will travel to the United States next week to finalise the legal terms of an interim India-US trade agreement that is expected to be signed and implemented in March.Joint Secretary in the commerce ministry, Darpan Jain who is India’s chief negotiator for the talks, will lead the delegation to Washington on February 23.
On the progress of negotiations, Agrawal said that the virtual engagements between the two sides are already underway. “There have been virtual engagements going on (with the US) and next week, the chief negotiator will be leading a delegation to the US to finalise the legal framework towards the legal agreement that work will carry on next week in Washington,” he said.He added that the recently released joint statement between India and the US lays down the broad contours of the interim deal, which now need to be translated into a legally binding agreement. “The joint statement lays down the contours of the deal. Now the contours of the deal has to be translated into a legal agreement, which will be signed between the two sides,” he told reporters.Earlier this month, India and the United States announced that they had finalised a framework for an interim trade agreement aimed at making trade more reciprocal and mutually beneficial. Under the framework, US tariffs on Indian goods will be reduced from 50 per cent to 18 per cent. The reduction is expected to cover sectors such as textiles and apparel, leather and footwear, plastic and rubber products, organic chemicals, home decor, artisanal goods and select machinery. After the successful conclusion of the interim pact, tariffs on products like generic pharmaceuticals, gems and diamonds, and aircraft parts are also set to be removed.On the Indian side, New Delhi has agreed to eliminate or reduce tariffs on several US industrial goods and a range of agricultural and food products, including dried distillers’ grains, tree nuts, fresh and processed fruits, soybean oil, wine and spirits. However, the government has maintained that sensitive agricultural and dairy sectors such as wheat, rice, maize, milk, poultry and certain vegetables will remain protected.The framework also reaffirms the commitment of both countries to advance negotiations on a broader Bilateral Trade Agreement, launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump in February 2025 following months of trade tensions.The commerce ministry also released updated trade data, highlighting overall growth in exports. India’s total exports of merchandise and services in January 2026 stood at USD 80.45 billion, up from USD 71.09 billion in January 2025.Imports during the same period rose to USD 90.83 billion from USD 76.48 billion a year earlier, pushing the overall trade deficit to USD 10.38 billion compared to USD 5.39 billion last year.Agrawal said that the cumulative exports from April to January of the current financial year are estimated at USD 720.76 billion, compared to USD 679 billion in the corresponding period of the previous year. “It is an estimated growth of 6.15% and increased around approximately USD 40 billion dollars,” he said.
NEW DELHI: By now, the pattern is familiar. Just when Congress is trying to project discipline and a message of unity ahead of an election, Mani Shankar Aiyar re-enters the scene, picks up the mic, and leaves the party embarrassed.Congress was once again forced into damage control on Monday after Aiyar launched a sharp attack on the party leadership, a day after praising the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government in Kerala, led by chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan.Things escalated rapidly when Aiyar, speaking to ANI, dismissed the authority of the current Congress leadership and declared: “I am a Gandhian, I am a Nehruvian, I am a Rajivian, but I am not a Rahulian.”Invoking BR Ambedkar’s description of dissent as being “a part but apart”, Aiyar positioned himself as an ideological insider with the right to rebel. The tone, however, soon turned confrontational.Targeting Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera, Aiyar said: “I have absolutely no respect and complete contempt for Pawan Khera… He is not a spokesperson, he is a parrot.”
He went further, adding: “If Pawan Khera is going to expel me, I will happily go outside and kick his backside after I have left.”Within hours, Congress moved to publicly sever any association with his remarks.
Khera issued a statement on X distancing the party from Aiyar’s comments: “Mr Mani Shankar Aiyar has had no connection whatsoever with the Congress for the past few years. He speaks and writes purely in his personal capacity.”Communications in-charge Jairam Ramesh followed up by reaffirming the party’s confidence in the United Democratic Front (UDF), saying: “Let there be no doubt. The people of Kerala will bring the UDF back for more responsible and responsive governance.”
The controversy stemmed from remarks Aiyar made on Sunday at a public event in Kerala. Addressing chief minister Vijayan, he said: “I must fall at your feet, CM Vijayan, and request you to pick up the baton that the Congress has dropped.”For a Congress trying to regain lost political space in Kerala, with Assembly elections just a couple of months away, the optics were damaging. The party found itself defending its relevance while one of its most recognisable faces appeared to publicly endorse a rival.
Can you imagine what is the condition of a party which raises a rowdy like KC Venugopal to the level of Sardar Patel, to Rahul Gandhi? That is all I need to say as an answer.
Mani Shankar Aiyar
A day later, Aiyar said his remark had been blown out of proportion, calling it just “half a line” in his speech.“It was only half a line in that speech which has been blown out of proportion,” he said.However, he maintained that the Vijayan-led LDF government was doing outstanding work.“As a Congressman, I want the UDF to win. As a Gandhian, I am obliged to tell the truth, irrespective of what I wish. I am not a voter in Kerala, but I think he is going to get another term,” Aiyar told PTI.
The Congress’s discomfort with Aiyar is not new. His statements have time and again left the party red-faced.On April 4, 2014, at a public meeting in Delhi, Aiyar mocked then Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi, saying: “This chaiwala should come here and serve tea.”The remark was immediately seized upon by the BJP. Modi, who was the prime ministerial candidate in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, embraced the label, transforming it into a narrative of aspiration versus elitism. For a Congress already struggling under anti-incumbency, the comment became emblematic of what the BJP called its “entitled mindset”.This was not an isolated incident.Three years later, on December 10, 2017, during the Gujarat Assembly election campaign, Aiyar referred to Modi as a “neech aadmi”. Though he later clarified that the phrase referred to social conduct and not caste, the BJP framed it as an insult to Gujarati pride. Modi turned it into a rallying cry.The Congress suspended Aiyar, but the political damage had already been done.
Even after being sidelined, Aiyar continued to create discomfort for the party. In 2022, his remarks about Rajiv Gandhi’s academic failures at Cambridge and Imperial College London reopened old wounds, at a time when the Congress was already battling sustained BJP attacks on the Gandhi family.Aiyar had said: “When he [Rajiv Gandhi] became Prime Minister, I was very surprised. I thought he was an airline pilot and failed at Cambridge. It is very difficult to fail at Cambridge because the university, to maintain its image, ensures that everyone at least passes. However, despite that, Rajiv Gandhi failed.”He added: “After that, he went to Imperial College in London and failed there as well. Then I thought, how can such a person become the Prime Minister of the country?”Senior Congress leaders publicly criticised Aiyar. Then Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole labelled him “mentally unstable” and former Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot dismissed him as sarfira (crazy). Yet, once again, the party stopped short of a clean break.
Aiyar’s latest remarks once again handed the BJP fresh ammunition.The BJP alleged that neither Congress leaders nor its alliance partners accepted Rahul Gandhi as their leader.BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla told IANS that a series of recent developments pointed to a growing crisis of confidence in Rahul Gandhi’s leadership.“In the morning, I saw a news report from Kerala where Mani Shankar Aiyar expressed low confidence in Rahul Gandhi, suggesting he would not be able to lead the Congress to victory. In West Bengal, the Trinamool Congress raised the slogan ‘Remove Rahul, bring Mamata, save the INDIA bloc.’ And now in Assam, Bhupen Borah, the former state Congress president, has reportedly left the party,” he said.Poonawalla claimed these episodes together showed that faith in Rahul Gandhi was steadily eroding. “One thing is clear — no one has confidence in Rahul Gandhi. He has lost 95 elections and has no mandate,” he said, adding that several alliance partners were increasingly keeping their distance.“The Trinamool Congress, the Samajwadi Party, leaders like Supriya Sule, Omar Abdullah and Hemant Soren — all of them are distancing themselves from Rahul Gandhi,” he alleged.He went on to describe Rahul Gandhi as a “non-performing asset” for the INDIA bloc.Tamil Nadu BJP leader K Annamalai also stepped up the attack, linking Aiyar’s remarks to what he described as ideological confusion within the Congress.“Mani Shankar Aiyar, who is from Tamil Nadu, has for years insulted Prime Minister Modi, including calling him a chaiwala. The Congress chose to keep him in the party. Now, when he goes to Kerala and endorses Mr Vijayan, it shows the broken ideologies under which both the Congress and the Communists are operating,” Annamalai said.Claiming a tacit understanding between the Congress and the Left, he added: “Since the Congress knows it cannot win and the BJP is surging in Kerala, I see this statement as an underhanded deal between the Congress and the Communists. What happened in Thiruvananthapuram will be repeated across Kerala.”
In a high-voltage clash at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 in Colombo, India crushed Pakistan by 61 runs, delivering a commanding performance that once again highlighted their dominance in marquee encounters between the arch-rivals. On the field, it was a clinical display. Off it, however, the tension was just as palpable.Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW!Well before the first ball was bowled, the spotlight had shifted to India’s continued “no-handshake” policy, first adopted during the 2025 Asia Cup.
At the toss, India captain Suryakumar Yadav and Pakistan skipper Salman Ali Agha refrained from the customary handshake, setting the tone for what was to follow. The absence of the traditional gesture reflected the political strain that has increasingly cast a shadow over cricketing ties between the two nations.The pattern repeated itself after the final ball. As Indian players celebrated their emphatic win, Pakistan cricketers including Shaheen Shah Afridi and Usman Tariq waited near the field, anticipating the usual exchange of handshakes. Instead, the Indian team walked past without acknowledgment — no handshakes, no eye contact — heading straight to the dressing room.The move has been maintained as a mark of respect for the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack and as solidarity with the Indian Army following Operation Sindoor. India, who have already qualified for the Super Eight, will next face Netherlands at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday.
India delivered a dominant performance against arch-rivals Pakistan, cruising to a 61-run victory in their high-voltage Group A clash at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium, Colombo. The comprehensive win not only boosted team morale but also confirmed India’s place in the Super Eight stage of the tournament.
Led by Suryakumar Yadav, India posted a strong total of 175 for 7 after being powered by a blazing knock from Ishan Kishan, who smashed 77 runs at the top. His aggressive approach gave the defending champions early momentum and set the platform for a challenging score. The bowlers then backed it up brilliantly, dismantling Pakistan’s batting line-up and bowling them out for just 114 in 18 overs.
The result once again highlighted India’s dominance over Pakistan in World Cup encounters. Sunday’s loss continued Pakistan’s frustrating run against their neighbours on the global stage, where wins have been hard to come by.
With this triumph, India have now won eight of their nine meetings against Pakistan in T20 World Cups. Their superiority is even more pronounced in the 50-over format, having emerged victorious in all eight of their ODI World Cup clashes. The latest result further strengthens India’s remarkable record in one of cricket’s most intense rivalries.

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday, calling itself “old-fashioned” questioned how could two people be indulging in a physical relationship before marriage even if it is consensual. The bench comprising Justices B V Nagarathna and Ujjal Bhuyan was hearing the bail application of a man accused of rape on the pretext of marriage. It questioned the complainant about why she had travelled to Dubai, where the two engaged in a physical relationship.“It’s consensual. We may be old-fashioned but a boy and girl before marriage are total strangers. They should be circumspect in indulging in physical relationships before marriage,” PTI quoted the bench observed.“Whatever may be the thick and thin of their relationship, we fail to understand how they can be indulging in physical relationship before marriage. Maybe we are old- fashioned but you must be very careful, nobody should believe anybody before marriage,” Justice Nagarathna said.The woman’s counsel submitted that the two met through a matrimonial website in 2022, and that the accused allegedly entered into a physical relationship with her on several occasions in Delhi and later in Dubai on the false assurance of marriage.“She should not have gone before marriage if she was so strict about it. We will send them to mediation. These are not cases which are to be tried and convicted when there is consensual relationship,” Justice Nagarathna said in response to this.In her complaint, the woman alleged that the man persuaded her to travel to Dubai, where he established physical relations with her on the false promise of marriage, recorded intimate videos without her consent, and threatened to circulate them. She later discovered that he had married another woman in Punjab in January 2024.Both the trial court and the Delhi high court had rejected his bail plea, with the high court observing that the promise of marriage appeared false from the outset, especially since he was already married and remarried in January 2024. The man has now approached the Supreme Court seeking bail.Justice Nagarathna suggested that the accused consider paying compensation to the woman to resolve the matter, while the bench also asked her counsel to explore the possibility of a settlement. The case has been posted for Wednesday to ascertain both sides’ positions.

Afghanistan kept their Super Eights hopes alive with a five-wicket win over UAE on Monday, but qualification is still out of their hands. After the victory, South Africa moved into the Super Eights from Group D with six points from three matches. New Zealand, who have four points from three games, can seal the second spot if they beat Canada in Chennai on Tuesday. In that case, Afghanistan, currently on two points from three matches, will be knocked out even if they defeat Canada in their final group match on February 19 in Chennai.
Captain Rashid Khan remained hopeful despite the uncertainty. “Hoping for the best. Yes, (we) still have a little bit of hope, we can make it to the next stage and we just need to come up with a positive mindset (against Canada),” Rashid said at the post-match presentation. “Next game, you never know, it’s a T20 game, we’ll have to come up with a good brand of cricket. Even if we don’t make it to the next round, we want to play with the same brand of cricket and make the country and our people proud and happy.” Rashid said he was pleased to get points on the board after the heartbreaking loss to South Africa in a match decided in the second Super Over. “Happy to finish with a win, it’s important to have points in a T20 World Cup. To restrict them (UAE) under 160 was a good effort, we pulled things back, but we didn’t do well in the first 10 overs. That’s been a problem for us in all the games and something we need to work on,” he said. “We know how aggressive he (Rahmanullah Gurbaz) is. He goes out with a positive mindset – it doesn’t always work, but it’s good for the team when he gets going. We’ve quite a lot of experience, Azmat (Azmatullah Omarzai) has played a lot, (Mohammad) Nabi is the most experienced guy in the team. It’s always good to have experience and that’s something most important.” Player of the Match Azmatullah Omarzai, who returned figures of 4/15 from four overs and struck 40 not out off 21 balls, explained his approach. “I was trying to bowl in the hard length and hit the pitch hard. “It was funny, first ball was a wicket, but the ball didn’t didn’t carry. I took four wickets again. That first wicket got the momentum for us. “When I went to bat, I looked at the scoreboard. There were a lot of balls (left) for us. We needed to play straight and rotate the strike and I was speaking to my partner, (to) just play straight and we were waiting for the bad ball. “It was a good game where everyone did really well and everyone did hard work (on the South Africa game), but the result did not work our way, but we came back really well and hope we will do it again in the next match.
