WATCH: Nick Kelly pulls off a jaw-dropping one-handed diving catch to dismiss Rubin Hermann in NZ vs SA 5th T20I



Some moments in cricket do not need a scoreboard to matter. Nick Kelly just made one of them. The New Zealand all-rounder was stationed at mid-off during the 5th T20I against South Africa when the game handed him an opportunity that most fielders would have let go. South African batter Rubin Hermann, looking to stay hot on 39 off 31 balls with 4 fours and 1 six, drove the ball hard and low toward the boundary, only for it to be plucked spectacularly by Kelly at mid-off.

Nick Kelly takes a screamer to remove Rubin Hermann

Kelly burst forward, read the ball early, and launched himself into a full-length dive, left hand outstretched, body parallel to the turf. He plucked it inches off the turf with his left hand and held on. The Christchurch crowd erupted. The commentary box lost its composure entirely. “Oh you beauty! Nick Kelly!” Pretty much summed it up.

Replays told the full story. The ball was sharp, low, and travelling fast. The ground covered was considerable. The margin for error was almost zero. Kelly made it look instinctive, which is exactly what made it so jaw-dropping, because nothing about that catch was simple.

It arrived at a crucial stage in the series decider. South Africa won the 5th T20I to clinch the series, but if there is one image that will outlast the final result, it is Kelly horizontal in the air, arm fully extended, ball firmly in hand.

Kelly has been a reliable part of New Zealand’s white-ball setup and also captains his local association side. But this was not about reputation or rank. This was about reflexes, commitment, and the kind of athletic brilliance that reminds everyone why T20 fielding is a genuine game-changer because in a format where every run counts, one moment like this can swing momentum entirely.

Nirav Modi Extradition: Big setback for Nirav Modi as UK high court rejects reopening extradition plea | India News


Big setback for Nirav Modi as UK high court rejects reopening extradition plea

Nirav Modi’s petition to reopen proceedings against his extradition to India was rejected on Wednesday by the High Court of Justice, King’s Bench Division, in London, which ruled that the application did not meet the threshold of “exceptional circumstances” required to revisit the case. The court held that the grounds presented, including reliance on the Bhandari judgment, were insufficient to justify reopening the proceedings.The decision marks a significant setback for the fugitive diamantaire, who is wanted in India in connection with the Punjab National Bank fraud case. The Crown Prosecution Service strongly opposed the application during the hearing, supported by a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) team that travelled to London, including key investigating officers.The high court noted in its judgment that the circumstances cited in the petition were not compelling enough to warrant reconsideration of the earlier extradition order, effectively closing this legal avenue for Modi.

What was the case?

Nirav Modi has been fighting extradition to India over alleged involvement in the Rs 13,000-crore Punjab National Bank fraud, one of the country’s largest banking scams. He has previously exhausted multiple legal remedies in UK courts, including appeals against extradition orders and applications citing concerns over prison conditions and mental health.The latest attempt to reopen proceedings was based on the Bhandari judgment, which Modi’s legal team argued had a bearing on his case. However, UK courts have consistently ruled in favour of extradition, finding that the evidence against him establishes a prima facie case and that his rights would not be violated if he were returned to India.More updates to follow

Tiger Woods made his return to competitive golf after more than a year, and this time, it was not just about the game. Just before he stepped onto the course, Vanessa Trump stood beside him, showing her support in a very personal way. The two shared a quick kiss and hug, a moment that caught attention right away. It happened on Tuesday, March 24, at the TGL finals in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. This was a big moment for Woods. The 50-year-old golfer had been away from full competition since April 2024 due to injuries. So when he finally returned, people were already watching closely. And with Vanessa Trump there, along with her daughter Kai Trump, the moment felt even more special.Vanessa, who was earlier married to Donald Trump Jr., has been quietly dating Woods for the past few months. Now, their bond is becoming more public, and this appearance made that clear.

Tiger Woods returns at TGL finals as Vanessa Trump and Kai Trump cheer from stands during comeback match

Tiger Woods played for Jupiter Links in the TGL finals, facing Los Angeles Golf Club in a best-of-three series. Just before he teed off at the SoFi Center, Vanessa Trump walked up to him, hugged him, and gave him a kiss. It was simple, but it showed strong support before a big match.During the game, Vanessa and her 18-year-old daughter Kai Trump stayed in the stands, clapping and cheering. Kai, who is also a junior golfer and committed to the University of Miami, followed the match closely. Even though Woods’ team lost 9-2 to Los Angeles Golf Club, the focus stayed on his return and the support around him.Woods had not played four full rounds since The Masters in April 2024. He has been dealing with recovery since then. Speaking earlier, he shared how tough the process has been. He said, “I said I’ve been working on it. Sometimes I have good days, sometimes I have bad days. Disc replacement is not a lot of fun.”In another update earlier this year, he told ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt, “I’ve been cleared to hit, basically, hit short irons and mid irons. I haven’t gone any beyond that.” He also admitted his game felt “rusty.”Away from the course, Woods has been spending time with Vanessa Trump. In January, she was with him during his 50th birthday celebration, which also marked the 30th anniversary of his TGR Foundation. According to PEOPLE, the event raised around $50 million for charity and was held at The Breakers Palm Beach.A source told PEOPLE, “Tiger was with Vanessa but also busy talking to people he knows from the charity. There was some serious partying going down all night… They seemed to have a great time.”Their relationship was first confirmed in March 2025 by a source close to the Trump family, again reported by PEOPLE. Soon after, the two made it official on Instagram.Now, with Woods back on the course and Vanessa by his side, this return feels different. It is not just about golf anymore. It is also about the people supporting him through it.

CCPA warns hotels, restaurants of action for levying ‘LPG, Gas surcharges’


CCPA warns hotels, restaurants of action for levying ‘LPG, Gas surcharges’

NEW DELHI: The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) on Wednesday warned hotels and restaurants of action in case it found them levying additional charges under heads such as “LPG charges,” “gas surcharge,” and “fuel cost recovery” in food bills.The authority issued an advisory invoking provisions of Consumer Protection Act observing that such charges are being imposed by default to circumvent existing guidelines on service charges. It said that no such charges shall be levied automatically, and warned that violations may invite “strict action” as this constitutes “unfair trade practice”.

In an official statement, the CCPA said that grievances received on the National Consumer Helpline (NCH), and media reports, show that certain hotels and restaurants are levying such charges in the consumer bill by default, over and above the price of food and beverages displayed in the menu and applicable taxes. “Such practices result in lack of transparency and impose unjustified costs on consumers,” it said.The authority clarified that input costs such as fuel, LPG, electricity, and other operational expenses are part of the cost of running a business and must be factored into the pricing of menu items.It advised eateries that the price displayed in the menu shall be the final price, exclusive only of applicable taxes. Consumers should not be misled or compelled to pay any additional charge that is not voluntary in nature.The CCPA said consumers who encounter such practices may request the hotel or restaurant to remove the charge from the bill; lodge a complaint on NCH by calling 1915 or through its mobile app and can also file a complaint before the appropriate consumer commission through the e-Jagriti portal.

British Airways plans bonus for pilots for cutting fuel use under new emissions-linked plan: Report


British Airways plans bonus for pilots for cutting fuel use under new emissions-linked plan: Report

British Airways is proposing a new incentive scheme that would reward pilots for reducing fuel burn and carbon emissions, with a potential bonus of up to 1% of basic salary if collective targets are metAccording to a document seen by Bloomberg, pilots would need to collectively cut their aircrafts’ carbon dioxide emissions by 60,000 tonnes above 2025 levels to unlock the payout. The incentive is due to begin next year, the report said.The plan, which has reportedly been under discussion for months, is expected to be put to a vote among members of the British Airline Pilots’ Association (BALPA) at the end of April, Bloomberg reported, citing a person familiar with the matter.

Focus on fuel-saving flying practices

The proposal says pilots could help improve efficiency through measures such as taxiing procedures and managing extra fuel loads, according to the document cited.“Flight crew decisions have a direct and measurable impact on fuel burn and emissions,” the document sent to BA pilots said.It added, “The incentive exists only to recognise and reward fuel efficient behaviours when, and only when, they are compatible with uncompromised safety and sound airmanship.”

Airline, union acknowledge discussions

A British Airways spokesperson said the airline was pleased to be working with BALPA on the initiative, while the union said it was discussing possible changes affecting BA pilots.The union represents 85% of pilots in the UK, the report said.

Rising oil prices and climate pressure

The move comes as airlines face pressure from surging oil prices, with crude rising above $100 a barrel amid the ongoing war in Iran.The report further noted that some carriers have already introduced surcharges or cancelled flights, while European airlines have warned that higher costs could be passed on to passengers.Like many global carriers, British Airways is aiming to become carbon neutral by investing in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), purchasing credits and operating more fuel-efficient aircraft.The UK government has said SAF must account for 3.6% of airlines’ total jet fuel demand this year as part of its broader plan to reach net zero by 2050.

‘One vengeance for all’: Iran’s AI video targets ‘Statue of Liberty’ in fiery nuclear warning


‘One vengeance for all’: Iran’s AI video targets 'Statue of Liberty' in fiery nuclear warning

Iranian state media reportedly released a provocative AI‑generated video titled “One Vengeance For All” that stitches together images of US‑linked wars and atrocities before showing a missile obliterating a demonic version of the Statue of Liberty, escalating the information war around the ongoing Iran–US–Israel conflict.The 53–54 second montage, attributed to Iranian state broadcaster IRIB and promoted by other pro‑Tehran outlets, uses AI‑generated visuals to depict a historical trail of US military involvement and alleged abuses.Sequences invoke Native American dispossession, the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, the Vietnam War, and more recent conflicts in Yemen, Afghanistan, Iraq, Gaza and wider Palestine, casting Washington as the common thread behind global suffering.In its closing seconds, the video shows a missile launched under the gaze of Iran’s leadership striking a reimagined Statue of Liberty whose head has been replaced by Baal, a horned figure drawn from demonised interpretations of ancient religions. The Quranic narrative contrasts Baal worship with the worship of Allah, the true Creator.

The clip ends on the slogan “One vengeance for all”, framing any future Iranian retaliation as being carried out on behalf of “all the oppressed in the world”, a line echoed in accompanying Farsi captions shared by Iranian outlets.

Context of rising tensions

The AI video surfaces amid an already volatile standoff following Israeli‑US strikes on Iranian targets and Tehran’s vows of “global retaliation”.Iranian officials and semi‑official media have in recent weeks sharpened their rhetoric, portraying the United States as ultimately responsible for what they describe as decades of destabilisation across West Asia and beyond.US forces, meanwhile, have been reinforcing their posture in the region, including deployments of additional airborne units, warships and troops to key bases, even as Washington publicly warns Tehran against escalating attacks on American or allied assets.Analysts say the “One Vengeance For All” video is calibrated to signal that any forthcoming strike by Iran would be framed not as a limited reprisal, but as part of a broader confrontation with what Tehran calls the “predatory West”.

NEW DELHI: The final day of the National Indoor Athletics Championships ended with high drama in the men’s 60m race, where Gurindervir Singh won gold and set a new national record. The race took an unexpected turn after favourite Animesh Kujur was disqualified, changing the outcome completely.Gurindervir, running his first indoor race, clocked 6.60 seconds to win gold and better the previous national indoor best of 6.67 seconds. The Athletics Federation of India (AFI), however, does not maintain an official list of national indoor records.

The spotlight was also on the chaotic start to the race, which saw three false starts. The third one led to Animesh Kujur’s disqualification, leaving the crowd stunned.Gurindervir admitted he actually wanted Animesh to compete, saying, “He (Animesh) did a false start. I thought if he runs, I will also run better as there would be tough competition. The crowd was also his. It would have been better if he had run.”He even tried to convince officials, adding, “So I was saying to the race officials that let him run under protest.”Despite the disruption, Gurindervir stayed focused. “No, my job was to run my race. I was telling myself that it’s okay if I even run alone,” he said.Explaining his approach, he said, “It’s a short distance. If someone goes ahead of you, you can’t catch him. No one knows who will win. Even a world champion can lose.” He added that a strong start is key: “Start is important in 60m and then just run fast. I have a good block start.”Reflecting on his journey, Gurindervir revealed he had struggled mentally last year. “Last year, I also started with a national record. But later, I got demotivated… I became very negative. I had such a bad time. But, I am hoping to be a different Gurindervir this time.”In another event, Tamil Nadu’s G Reegan won the pole vault with 5.30m but missed out on breaking the overall national record. He said, “I just wanted to execute my plans. I am a bit disappointed as I could not do the national record but I am improving.”

Govt extends RBI’s 4% retail inflation target framework till March 2031


Govt extends RBI’s 4% retail inflation target framework till March 2031

The government on Wednesday extended the mandate for the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to maintain retail inflation at 4 per cent, with a tolerance band of 2 percentage points on either side, for another five years ending March 31, 2031.The move continues the flexible inflation-targeting framework first introduced in 2016 and retained once earlier in March 2021.“The central government, in consultation with the Reserve Bank, hereby notifies the inflation target for the period beginning April 1, 2026, and ending on March 31, 2031,” a gazette notification issued by the Department of Economic Affairs dated March 25 said, quoted PTI.According to the notification, the inflation target remains at 4 per cent, with an upper tolerance level of 6 per cent and a lower tolerance level of 2 per cent.India formally adopted the inflation-targeting regime in 2016, when the six-member Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), headed by the RBI governor, was tasked with keeping annual retail inflation aligned to the 4 per cent target until March 31, 2021. The framework was subsequently extended for another five-year period in 2021.Over the past decade, retail inflation has remained within the prescribed band for nearly three-quarters of the time, although volatility increased during the pandemic years.The latest official data showed retail inflation rising to 3.21 per cent in February from 2.74 per cent in the previous month. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) released earlier this month is based on a new series with base year 2024.Against the backdrop of the upcoming review effective from April 1, 2026 and evolving global and domestic economic conditions, the RBI had undertaken an assessment of the nature and format of the inflation target.In August 2025, the central bank issued a discussion paper seeking stakeholder feedback on several issues, including whether headline inflation or core inflation should guide monetary policy, whether the 4 per cent target remains optimal for balancing growth and stability, and whether the tolerance band around the target requires revision.The paper also explored whether the target level should be replaced with a range-based framework while maintaining flexibility and policy credibility.It noted that inflation performance during the nine years of flexible inflation targeting showed a “hump-shaped” trajectory. The first three years and the most recent three years broadly aligned with the target, while the intervening period saw inflation trends move closer to the upper tolerance band amid disruptions such as the Covid-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine conflict.“The experience of the FIT framework, introduced in 2016 and first reviewed in 2021, has broadly performed well. From the inception of FIT till about the end of 2019, inflation was low and stable, averaging around 4 per cent,” the RBI paper said.It emphasised that monetary policy frameworks require both certainty and credibility, particularly in an environment marked by heightened global uncertainty, and suggested that the existing framework’s built-in flexibility should be used to steer macroeconomic outcomes.Globally, inflation targeting has become the most widely adopted monetary policy framework since New Zealand first introduced it in 1990. The RBI paper noted that average inflation in India has moderated to around 4.9 per cent since the adoption of flexible inflation targeting, compared with an average of 6.8 per cent in the pre-framework period under the current data series.
