NEW DELHI: England captain Harry Brook says unity, belief and staying calm under pressure have helped his team reach the T20 World Cup semi-finals — and they don’t need to play a “perfect game” to win the title.England, two-time champions, will face fellow two-time winners India in the semi-final for the third straight edition. While India were labelled favourites at the start, both teams have had ups and downs in the tournament.

When asked if England would need a flawless performance to beat India at home, Brook said: “No, I don’t believe that we need a perfect game to win the competition to be honest.” He added, “The games that we have won have been nowhere near perfect and we’ve still managed to get the wins convincingly in some of them and then tight (in) the other games.”Brook credited team spirit. “But it’s just the unity that we’ve had to be able to get across the line, the belief that everybody’s shown throughout the games and the calmness that we’ve had when the bowlers have stood at the top of the mark,” he said.Calling the clash special, he said, “It’s up there for sure. It’s a dream come true for most of us to play in a World Cup semifinal against the home nation on a very iconic ground, so we’re all really looking forward to it.”Though confident, he admitted, “we haven’t quite played that perfect performance (yet) and I feel like it’s just around the corner… Hopefully, it’s tomorrow (Thursday) night.”Brook also backed out-of-form former captain Jos Buttler, saying, “There should be no reason to question why he’s on the team.”He dismissed concerns about playing spin and said one big individual effort could decide the match: “We don’t feel like we’re ever out of a game so far… I feel like there’s a big individual performance to come.”

Russia is prepared to redirect crude shipments to India to offset supply disruptions caused by escalating conflict in the Middle East, Reuters reported, citing sources. Nearly 9.5 million barrels of Russian oil are now positioned near Indian waters and able to arrive within weeks.The emergency supply push comes as the near-closure of the Strait of Hormuz — through which some 40% of India’s crude imports transit — threatens to choke the country’s energy security following Iranian strikes on vessels in retaliation for recent US and Israeli attacks on targets inside Iran.

The report citing confirmation from a government official said that New Delhi is urgently scouting for alternative oil supplies to cover at least the next 10–15 days, anticipating further turbulence in the region.India, the world’s third‑largest crude consumer, maintains only modest reserves, with national stocks covering roughly 25 days of demand, and similarly shortfalls in refined fuel inventories.Reuters, citing an industry insider with direct knowledge of the matter, reported that Russia has indicated readiness to meet up to 40% of India’s crude requirement if Middle Eastern flows remain constrained. The person declined to specify the original destination of the diverted tanker fleet but noted that the cargoes can be discharged at Indian ports within weeks, offering refiners short-term relief.India’s state and private refiners together process around 5.6 million barrels of crude per day and are in regular touch with traders marketing Russian barrels. However, any fresh increase in Russian intake would depend on government direction, given that trade discussions with Washington remain sensitive.Russia’s oil supply to IndiaRussian crude’s share of India’s imports had dropped to about 1.1 million barrels per day in January, the lowest since November 2022, as New Delhi sought to ease friction with the United States over sanctions exposure.By February, volumes had rebounded to around 30% of total imports, according to market data.US President Donald Trump last month announced a suspension of punitive tariffs on Indian imports after claiming that New Delhi had agreed to “stop buying Russian oil” — a position India has denied. Officials insist the country’s energy strategy remains driven by diversification and prevailing market conditions rather than geopolitics.India’s foreign ministry, oil ministry and the Russian embassy in New Delhi did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Indian sources said that, even days before tensions escalated into direct hostilities with Iran, no advisory had been issued instructing companies to avoid Russian crude.

Bengaluru: The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Wednesday said it has launched a “moonshot” project to develop brain co-processors that combine neuromorphic hardware with AI algorithms to enhance or restore brain function. The initiative is funded by the Pratiksha Trust, founded by Kris Gopalakrishnan and his wife Sudha.An MoU formalising the partnership was signed at IISc in the presence of Gopalakrishnan, Prof G Rangarajan, Director of IISc, and Prof B Gurumoorthy, chief executive, Foundation for Science, Innovation and Development (FSID), along with other faculty members and deans.“The project aims to develop both implantable and non-invasive brain co-processors capable of decoding neural activity from brain recordings, processing these signals using AI algorithms, and re-encoding them into the brain through neural stimulation or neurofeedback,” IISc said. The devices are expected to support cognitive rehabilitation, particularly for stroke survivors who have lost functions such as goal-directed reach and grasp.Gopalakrishnan said: “India is emerging as a global leader in neuroscience by uniting foundational research with clinical applications through collaborative, international partnerships. Supported significantly by the Pratiksha Trust, the Brain Co-Processors Moonshot Project accelerates the development of innovative medical technologies.”Ultimately, he said, these innovations aim to provide world-class transformative neurological treatments to the global population. The initiative builds on a pilot effort under IISc’s Brain, Computation and Data Science programme, a cross-departmental initiative involving more than 20 faculty members. That programme is also supported by the Pratiksha Trust.According to IISc, brain co-processors represent an emerging class of technologies designed to augment or restore the brain’s natural functions in real-world contexts. The current project seeks to build an AI-driven, closed-loop device that interfaces with different regions of the brain to restore coordinated movement.A key focus of the project is to develop indigenous capacity. The team plans to indigenise implant design, hardware systems and AI software stacks compatible with clinical infrastructure in low-resource settings. It also aims to create India-specific databases of stereo EEG and ECoG recordings, and to develop open-source AI tools, datasets and visualisation platforms as digital public goods.“In its first phase, the team will develop and validate a non-invasive neural co-processor to provide sensorimotor feedback for goal-directed reaching in stroke survivors. Parallel groundwork will be laid for an invasive implantable version,” IISc said.The second phase will focus on developing a minimally invasive embedded co-processor intended to restore sensorimotor coordination in individuals with chronic, multi-domain deficits following middle cerebral artery stroke.The IISc team will collaborate with medical professionals and researchers across India to clinically validate and deploy the devices in line with national and international standards, IIScs said, adding that feedback from neurologists, therapists, patients and caregivers will be incorporated throughout development. The institute will also work with research partners in India and abroad.Prof Rangarajan said the moonshot project brings together expertise across neuroscience, electrical engineering, bioelectronics and neuromorphic computing to address stroke rehabilitation.

Apple has announced the MacBook Neo, its most affordable laptop to date, starting at Rs 69,900 in India. The Neo is powered by the A18 Pro chip, the same silicon found in the iPhone 16 Pro, and features a 13-inch Liquid Retina display with 500 nits brightness and support for 1 billion colors. It comes in four colours: blush, indigo, silver, and a new citrus.At 1.23 kgs, the MacBook Neo is lighter than it sounds, and the aluminum build keeps it feeling premium despite the lower price tag. Two USB-C ports, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 6, a headphone jack, a 1080p FaceTime camera, and dual side-firing speakers with Spatial Audio round out the hardware.

Apple’s iPhone chip now powers its most affordable MacBook

The A18 Pro brings some serious grunt for this price bracket. Apple claims the MacBook Neo is up to 50% faster for everyday tasks than a comparable Intel Core Ultra 5 Windows laptop, and up to 3x faster for on-device AI workloads. The 16-core Neural Engine handles Apple Intelligence features locally, keeping things private. The 5-core GPU is capable enough for casual gaming and photo editing. And since the whole thing is fanless, it runs completely silent. Battery life is rated at up to 16 hours.

macOS Tahoe, iPhone Mirroring, and Apple Intelligence out of the box

MacBook Neo ships with macOS Tahoe, giving users access to Apple Intelligence features like Writing Tools and Live Translation right out of the box. iPhone Mirroring is supported too, letting users interact with their iPhone directly from the MacBook screen—useful for anyone already deep in the Apple ecosystem.On the sustainability front, Apple says the MacBook Neo is its lowest-carbon Mac yet, made with 60% recycled content including 90% recycled aluminum.Pre-orders open today, with availability starting March 11.

At least 85 Iranian sailors were killed after a US submarine torpedoed an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean, with the Pentagon releasing footage of the moment the vessel was struck and sank.The ship, identified as the Iranian frigate IRIS Dena, went down early Wednesday after being hit by a torpedo fired from a US submarine. The strike comes amid the escalating US-Israel military campaign against Iran.

America Hit Hard: $2 BN Wiped Out As U.S. Loses Jets, Radars, Sat Equipment Amid Iran War

“An American submarine sunk an Iranian warship that thought it was safe in international waters. Instead, it was sunk by a torpedo,” US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told reporters. The Pentagon described the strike as part of its broader effort in the ongoing war against Iran and said it demonstrated Washington’s military reach across global waters.Hegseth called the attack “quiet death” and the first US sinking of an enemy ship by torpedo since World War II.“Like in that war,” he said, “we are fighting to win.”Sri Lankan authorities said 32 sailors from the Iranian frigate were rescued after the vessel issued a distress call at dawn. However, officials said 148 other crew members remain missing and hopes of finding survivors are fading.Sri Lanka’s foreign minister Vijitha Herath told parliament that rescue vessels reached the site about 40 kilometres south of the southern port of Galle less than an hour after the distress call was received.By the time rescuers arrived, the frigate had already sunk, leaving only an oil patch on the water’s surface.“We are keeping up a search, but we don’t know yet what happened to the rest of the crew,” a Sri Lankan defense official told AFP.Sri Lankan navy spokesman Buddhika Sampath said the navy responded as part of its maritime obligations.“We responded to the distress call under our international obligations, as this is within our search and rescue area in the Indian Ocean,” Sampath told AFP.He added that bodies had already been recovered from the site of the sinking.“We have found a few bodies from the area where the ship had gone down,” Sampath.Sri Lankan police later said that 87 bodies of Iranian sailors had been recovered as search operations continued in the waters off the southern coast.Authorities said the rescued sailors were taken to a hospital in southern Sri Lanka while naval vessels and aircraft continued searching the area.The frigate had earlier taken part in a military exercise near India’s Visakhapatnam before moving through the Indian Ocean, according to officials.Sri Lanka has maintained a neutral stance in the widening conflict and has repeatedly called for dialogue to resolve the Middle East crisis.

Explosions rocked Iran’s capital before dawn Wednesday as the country’s escalating conflict with the United States and Israel entered its fifth day, marking one of the most intense periods of fighting in the region in decades. The latest blasts in Tehran came after days of sustained US-Israeli airstrikes on Iranian military and nuclear sites and sweeping retaliatory attacks by Tehran on Israeli territory and US assets across the Gulf.Iran’s foreign minister, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, reiterated Tehran’s determination to defend itself and confront what it calls US-Israeli aggression. “Bombings in our capital have no impact on our ability to conduct war,” he wrote on X, highlighting Iran’s decentralised “Mosaic Defence” system that allows it to dictate when and how the conflict concludes. Senior adviser to the late Supreme Leader Mohammad Mokhber told state television that Iran “has no trust in the Americans and sees no grounds for negotiations with them,” adding, “We can continue the war for as long as we deem necessary.”Meanwhile, explosions were reported across Tehran as daylight broke, with Israel saying its air defenses had been activated against incoming Iranian missile fire. Israel described its operations as a “broad wave” of strikes targeting Iranian defense systems, missile launch sites, and underground nuclear research facilities. The Israeli military also struck a building in Qom associated with clerics where they were meeting on selecting Iran’s next supreme leader.Israel’s defense minister, Israel Katz, warned that the individual chosen as Iran’s next supreme leader would be “a target for elimination,” following airstrikes on the Assembly of Experts, the body responsible for selecting Khamenei’s successor. Earlier strikes had targeted Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in recent US-Israeli attacks. Iran is holding a three-day state funeral, with public memorials at the Imam Khomeini Grand Mosque in Tehran and burial planned in Mashhad, intensifying tensions across the region.

Iran retaliates across Israel and the Gulf

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched 17th waves of Operation True Promise 4, deploying over 230 drones against multiple targets, including locations in the Occupied Territories, US military bases in Erbil and Kuwait. Iran reported significant damage to a US airbase in Bahrain and claimed more than 680 American casualties across various sites during the first two days of the conflict. The IRGC emphasised that “this operation will continue relentlessly until the enemy is decisively defeated,” asserting that all US assets in the region are legitimate targets.In addition to drone strikes, Tehran has fired dozens of ballistic missiles at Israel, most of which were intercepted, resulting in at least eleven Israeli fatalities since the conflict began. Iran also confirmed attacks on multiple locations in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates—countries hosting US military airbases, according to the Fars news agency.Drone strikes have extended to US diplomatic facilities in the region. Two drones targeted the US Embassy in Riyadh, causing a limited fire, according to Saudi Arabia’s defense ministry. The embassy temporarily closed to the public and advised Americans to avoid the compound. Another Iranian drone struck a parking lot outside the US consulate in Dubai, sparking a small fire that was quickly extinguished, officials said. Additionally, a suspected Iranian drone hit the Central Intelligence Agency’s station at the US Embassy in Saudi Arabia on Monday, according to a source familiar with the matter.‘We’ve just begun’: US says it has bombed over 2,000 targets in Iran – top developments

The US State Department authorised non-emergency US government employees and family members to leave Pakistan consulates in Karachi, Lahore and Saudi Arabia, Oman “due to safety risks,” according to advisories from the US embassies in Riyadh and Muscat.The department also ordered the evacuation of non-emergency personnel and families in Kuwait, Bahrain, Iraq, Qatar, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates. US citizens were urged to leave more than a dozen Middle Eastern countries, though many were stranded because of airspace closures. The State Department said it is preparing military and charter flights for Americans wanting to leave the region.Oman, which had played a mediation role in talks between the United States and Iran, called for a ceasefire. Riyadh condemned Iranian salvos, including the attack on the US embassy in Riyadh.India’s Ministry of External Affairs announced the establishment of a Special Control Room and issued helpline numbers for Indian nationals in view of the evolving situation in West Asia and the Gulf region.

Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of US Central Command, said American forces have struck nearly 2,000 targets in Iran as part of what he described as the largest firepower buildup in the region in a generation.“In simple terms, we’re focused on shooting all the things that can shoot at us,” Cooper said in a video message posted on X.“We are also sinking the Iranian navy — the entire navy,” he added. “Thus far, we’ve destroyed 17 Iranian ships, including the most operational Iranian submarine that now has a hole in its side.”“For decades, the Iranian regime has harassed international shipping. Today, there is not a single Iranian ship underway in the Arabian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz or Gulf of Oman,” Cooper said. “And we will not stop.”He added, “We’ve already struck nearly 2,000 targets with more than 2,000 munitions. We have severely degraded Iran’s air defenses and destroyed hundreds of Iran’s ballistic missiles, launchers and drones.”“The first 24 hours of this operation were nearly double the scale” of the first day of shock-and-awe strikes on Iraq in 2003, “and we continue with 24/7 strikes into Iran,” he said.The US military said it has destroyed 17 Iranian ships, including a submarine.

The US-Israeli strikes have killed at least 787 people in Iran, according to the Red Crescent Society. Nearly 800 people have been killed in Iran since the conflict began, including some whom President Donald Trump said he had considered as possible future leaders of the country.In Lebanon, where Israel launched retaliatory strikes against Hezbollah militants, at least 50 people were killed, including seven children, according to Lebanon’s health ministry. Lebanon’s state-run media also reported that at least four people were killed in an Israeli strike that hit a residential complex in the city of Baalbeck.The US military confirmed six American service members have been killed. Four were identified as Capt. Cody A. Khork, Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor and Sgt. Declan J. Coady, who were assigned to the Iowa-based 103rd Sustainment Command. The Pentagon said a drone strike Sunday at a command center in Kuwait killed four US Army Reserve soldiers and two other service members.Kuwait said an 11-year-old girl was killed by falling shrapnel as its forces intercepted “hostile aerial targets.” Three people were killed in the United Arab Emirates and one in Bahrain.

US President Donald Trump said Iran’s air force and navy had been “knocked out” and that new strikes targeted Iranian leadership. He suggested the war could last several weeks or longer.As far as possible leaders inside Iran, “the people we had in mind are dead,” Trump said.“I guess the worst case would be do this, and then somebody takes over who’s as bad as the previous person, right? That could happen,” Trump said. “We don’t want that to happen.”While the initial US-Israeli strikes killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Trump urged Iranians to overthrow their government, senior administration officials have since said regime change was not the goal. Trump later said that “someone from within” the Iranian regime might be the best choice to take power once the campaign is finished.Israeli media reported that Mojtaba Khamenei, the 56-year-old second eldest son of Ali Khamenei, had been chosen as successor and that the Assembly of Experts was expected to formally announce him. The New York Times reported he had emerged as the leading candidate and that the Assembly allegedly elected him under pressure from the IRGC. There has been no independent confirmation from Iranian state media.

Indian stock markets have been bleeding – and multiple triggers in the last few quarters have left BSE Sensex and Nifty50 well below their record highs. The fresh negative for the stock markets is the US-Israel-Iran war that has sent ripples across global markets. Oil prices have risen to near the $80 mark and experts see them hitting $100 if the Middle East crisis does not calm down in the coming days.On Wednesday, BSE Sensex closed at 79,116.19, down over 1,100 points or 1.40%. Nifty50 ended at 24,480.50, down over 380 points or 1.55%. Both indices are down over 2.5% since the start of the conflict between US-Israel and Iran over the weekend.The drop has cost investors Rs 16.32 lakh crore in a span of two trading sessions. The stock market was closed on March 3, 2026 for Holi. The market capitalisation of BSE-listed companies has dropped from Rs 4,46,87,694.68 crore to Rs 4,47,18,243.15 crore since Friday last week. That’s a drop of Rs 16,32,428.12 crore in market cap.Middle East countries, including Iran which is at the centre of the conflict, are major suppliers of crude oil to the global economy. The Strait of Hormuz in Persian Gulf, a narrow but key passageway for the transit of oil and merchandise shipments has been closed, disrupting supplies to Asia. China and India in particular get a big chunk of their crude oil through this strait.

The fallout for energy markets is severe. The Strait of Hormuz accounts for roughly 30% of global seaborne crude oil, nearly 20% of jet fuel, and about 16% of gasoline and naphtha flows. The conflict has shut the strait via insurance withdrawals, putting close to 20% of global oil supply at risk, alongside critical volumes of jet fuel, LPG, and LNG.

Middle East Crisis Bleeds Global Markets

India is not the only market to have seen losses in the wake of the Middle East situation. Major stock markets around the world have tanked as uncertainty mounts.

So, the question in investors minds is: what’s the road ahead? What is the best strategy in the current scenario and which sectors should they focus on?

What should investors do?

In times of uncertainty, investors look for cues on which pockets to invest in and what strategy to adopt. Market experts that TOI spoke to said that instead of panic selling, investors should adopt a wait-and-watch strategy.According to Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments Limited, it is important to understand that stock markets are in unchartered territory in the near-term. “The major concern is the spike in crude oil and its impact. For India, which is dependent on imports for around 85% of her crude requirements, a sharp spike in crude oil prices will have negative implications for inflation, currency and economic growth. If the conflict gets resolved in two or three weeks the problem can be managed,” he says. “If, unfortunately, the conflict lingers longer the problem can aggravate leading to large trade deficits and high inflation. The market is concerned about that. Investors should wait and watch how the situation evolves. Panic selling is not advisable now. There is safety in domestic consumption themes like banking and defence,” he tells TOI.Tanvi Kanchan, Associate Director, Anand Rathi Share and Stock Brokers Limited explains the possible negative impact of the Middle East crisis on India’s macro indicators, while expressing confidence in the growth story. She is of the view that the near-term conditions are likely to remain highly volatile. The VIX has spiked, signalling heightened risk aversion, and key technical support levels have been decisively breached. Gold futures have surged on MCX as investors rushed toward safe havens. “Elevated crude prices are a fiscal challenge, though the RBI retains room to manoeuvre and domestic consumption remains resilient. IT stocks face added pressure amid AI-led disruptions – particularly from Anthropic – unsettling US tech sentiment, while banking stocks warrant close monitoring for yield-curve dynamics,” she tells TOI.

Tanvi Kanchan draws on historical data for perspective. “History suggests that sharp geopolitical shocks, however painful, have not derailed India’s long-term market trajectory. The underlying domestic macro backdrop remains supportive, with robust GST collections of ₹1.71 lakh crore in January 2026, an earnings recovery expected in FY27, and strong performance from PSU banks and metals,” she explains.“This is not a moment for panic selling, but for discipline. Investors should review portfolios, avoid leverage, and use any de-escalation-led rebounds to rebalance toward quality large caps. SIP investors are best served by staying the course—this is precisely the kind of volatility through which long-term wealth is built,” she advises.Thomas V Abraham, Research Analyst at Mirae Asset Sharekhan lists the risks to the Indian economy: India faces rupee depreciation, widening CAD, and elevated inflation amid the Iran-Israel-US conflict, with crude oil prices as the dominant driver. Importing 80-90% of its crude needs, India remains highly sensitive to price volatility, he says.“Markets remain in wait-and-watch mode (VIX ~17), monitoring de-escalation prospects versus escalation risks. Prolonged uncertainty risks structural inflation, lack of rate cuts (in the current scenario), and subdued growth,” the market analyst says.With the strait of Hormuz shut, and no end in sight for the geo political tension, India will need to look at all alternatives to import crude with Rupee at all time low against the dollar and crude prices increasing significantly, the expert tells TOI. He lists sectors and stocks that are likely to be impacted in the short-term and long-term.Short-Term Sector Impacts (Brief Uncertainties)•⁠ ⁠Negatives: OMCs, aviation (IndiGo), and paints face margin compression from higher crude costs. Some companies to be impacted include Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL).•⁠ ⁠Positives: Upstream oil firms benefit as elevated prices per barrel offset inflation. Some companies to benefit include Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), Oil India Ltd (OIL)Longer-Term Sector Impacts (Prolonged Uncertainties)•⁠ ⁠Negatives: Autos and discretionary FMCG suffer from reduced demand due to higher fuel and financing costs.•⁠ ⁠Positives: Defence/aerospace gains from elevated border security needs; One could also tap into the defensive plays to ride out this period, he says.“Pharma sector offers capital preservation plus rupee depreciation tailwinds; gold/gold etfs hedges geopolitical volatility. Our top picks for the sector are Sun Pharma, Dr Reddys, and Lupin,” Thomas V Abraham adds.(Disclaimer: Recommendations and views on the stock market, other asset classes or personal finance management tips given by experts are their own.
