Babar Azam Minces No Words, 'Answers Back' To 90s Pakistan Cricketers

Star batter Babar Azam has responded to criticism from former Pakistan players, asserting that there should be no room for 'below the belt' attacks on individuals. While admitting that facing scrutiny is part of the job, Babar claimed that 'personal attacks' have become far too common, especially within the Pakistan cricketing landscape. The former captain also sympathized with teammate Shadab Khan for speaking out against criticism from ex-players following the team's early exit from the T20 World Cup earlier this year. Responding to the likes of Shahid Afridi and Mohammad Yousuf, Shadab directed a sharp retort at the former players, noting that they were never part of a team that defeated India in a World Cup game. His comments have sparked a massive furore back in Pakistan. "When they speak about things, it's right, but if the current player has said something, it's not right. Anyway, it's a different ball game. Shadab said something in the...

Heavy Rain, Thunderstorms Bring Respite From Heat To Delhi-NCR

Delhi on Saturday witnessed a spell of rain and thunderstorms, bringing respite from the heat. Parts of Delhi-NCR received rainfall as a sudden change of weather brought a much-needed break from the rising temperature in the city. Visuals from parts of the national capital showed the rains battering a few areas, with the city and its adjoining areas experiencing stormy weather. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) earlier in the day predicted the spell of showers for Delhi. It has issued a yellow alert for the national capital for the next two days. "A spell of very light to light rain, accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning, and strong winds of 30-40 km/h, gusting up to 50 km/h, is likely to occur on Sunday." Similar conditions may persist into Monday," an IMD official was quoted as saying by news agency PTI. Today's rainfall comes two days after Delhi and adjoining regions experienced hailstorms and rain amid an intense heatwave spell, cooling the cit...

Diamond Harbour "Lyari Of Bengal", Says BJP. Trinamool Hits Back

The BJP's description of Diamond Harbour, the Lok Sabha constituency of Trinamool Congress General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee, as the "Lyari of Bengal" has earned a sharp clapback from the ruling party in the state. Accusing the BJP of attempts at "otherisation", the Trinamool Congress alleged that the party is treating the state with contempt and hatred. Lyari, in Pakistan's Karachi, has entered the consciousness of the average Indian as a hotbed of crime syndicates, gang wars and espionage after its portrayal in the blockbuster movie 'Dhurandhar'. The Falta Assembly seat in the Diamond Harbour area made headlines earlier this week after IPS officer and "encounter specialist" Ajay Pal Sharma, also known as 'Singham' , warned  Trinamool Congress candidate Jahangir Khan and others of strict action if they engage in "mischief". Khan responded with a movie reference of his own, saying, "If he is Singham, I am Pushpa...

"Why Would I Tell You That?" Trump Evades Reporter's Question On Iran Strikes

Hours after Iran sent a fresh proposal for talks with the United States to end the war, President Donald Trump evaded a question on Friday about striking Iran again. While Trump was speaking to reporters in Washington, a reporter asked him, "Are you considering new strikes on Iran?" The Republican leader stepped back and said, "Why would I tell you that?" essentially ending the conversation. Earlier, Trump had said that he was "not satisfied" with the new Iranian negotiating proposal.  REPORTER: "Are you considering new strikes on Iran?" @POTUS : "Why would I tell you that?" pic.twitter.com/dABwCJU05h — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) May 1, 2026 "At this moment I'm not satisfied with what they're offering," Trump told reporters, laying blame for the stalled talks with Iran due to "tremendous discord" within its leadership. He added that negotiations were ongoing but inconsistent. "The...

"Calm Down, He's 15": DC Star Slammed By Internet After Sooryavanshi Send-Off

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi suffered a rare failure in IPL 2026 on Friday, being dismissed for just 4 in Rajasthan Royals' (RR) game against Delhi Capitals (DC). DC's New Zealand speedster Kyle Jamieson delivered an excellent yorker to leave Sooryavanshi with no answer. Jamieson celebrated the wicket in an aggressive manner, clapping his hands fiercely in front of Sooryavanshi and giving the 15-year-old an explosive send-off. However, his reaction was met with mixed reaction on social media, with many criticising him for it.

Kohli's Vintage Send-Off To Gill After Taking His Catch Breaks The Internet

A vintage Virat Kohli was on display when Royal Challengers Bengaluru were fielding against Gujarat Titans in their IPL 2026 game at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on Thursday. GT skipper Shubman Gill got off to a terrific start in the chase of 155 against RCB. He smashed veteran pacers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Josh Hazlewood all around the park in the first two overs of Powerplay. Gill hit the Indian fast bowler for a four and six in the very first over of the innings, and then smashed the ace Australian pacer for three overs and two sixes in the following over. RCB looked completely clueless as their bowlers found no way to stop him. Eventually, Bhuvneshwar provided RCB the much-needed relief as Gill smashed the ball into the hands of Kohli at cover. The RCB star followed the wicket with a furious celebration. A vintage Kohli took the catch, gave a stare to Gill and then banged the ball on the floor with a loud roar.

Bengal Voters Mum, May Not Release Exit Poll Data Today: Axis My India Founder

Following the completion of the final phase of voting in the West Bengal Assembly elections , several pollsters have released exit poll projections that show a divided picture of the likely outcome. Some surveys forecast a victory for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), while others suggest that the Trinamool Congress (TMC), led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, will retain power.  One prominent agency, however, has so far remained silent. In an interview with NDTV, Pradeep Gupta, founder of Axis My India, said his organisation may not release exit poll data for West Bengal on Thursday if it does not obtain a sufficiently representative sample. "See, the method of Axis My India is talking to people face to face. And when we tried to talk after the first phase, about 60-70 per cent of the people had their lips sealed. They were not even ready to say yes or no," Gupta told NDTV. "No one is ready to talk to anyone in the context of elections. So, as long as our sample is...
