Robinson Creates History, Achieves Remarkable Test Bowling Feat Against Pak

England pacer Ollie Robinson has emerged as the standout figure in Test bowling, boasting the best bowling average among bowlers with 100-plus wickets since the First World War, with an impressive mark of 19.10. He has also reached the 100-wicket milestone in just 24 Tests, making him the joint-fifth-fastest English bowler to achieve the feat since World War II, joining legends Ian Botham, Derek Underwood, Steve Harmison, Graeme Swann and Tony Lock.

A young Mexican social media influencer, known for her videos about beauty and makeup, was brazenly shot to death during a TikTok livestream, in an incident that sent shockwaves through a country that faces high levels of gender-based violence.

India Can Hit Every Corner Of Pak, Army, Terrorists Know This Now: PM Modi

Standing in front of the advanced S-400 air defence system in Punjab's Adampur, which Pakistan claimed it had destroyed with its China-made JF-17 fighter jets, Prime Minister Narendra Modi exposed Islamabad's blatant lies when he made a televised address to the troops at that forward air force base. In a stern message, PM Modi said Pakistan's army, and terrorists that it shelters, have nowhere to run or hide anymore. Crediting the Indian armed forces for sending a decisive message to Pakistan's military, the prime minister said, "You all (soldiers) have shown the Pakistan Army that there is not a place left in Pakistan where it can shelter terrorists." "There is no corner left in Pakistan where terrorists can sit in peace. We can hit them no matter where they are in Pakistan," he added. He went on to say that going forward, "India will not spare even one chance (to Pakistan's Army) to save the terrorists." Speaking about the precisi...

"Talks On Op Sindoor, No Reference To Trade In US Talks": Sources

US President Donald Trump's claim that ceasefire between India and Pakistan was achieved with the promise of trade, has been denied by sources.   India had earlier sidestepped the claims of the US President that he had been the one to broker peace between the two countries, saying the ceasefire talks were held directly with Pakistan after Islamabad dialled New Delhi. President Trump had made that announcement minutes before the foreign ministry announced the ceasefire on Saturday.  Today, minutes before Prime Minister Narendra Modi's address to the nation, President Trump said he told India and Pakistan that his administration will engage in trade with them only if they end the conflict. President Trump also suggested that the conflict between the two countries could have spiralled into a nuclear war that would have killed millions of people. Later in the evening, sources said, "After Operation Sindoor commenced, US Vice President JD Vance spoke to Prime Minister Naren...
